Bond On The Run: A Close Look At Daniel Craig's Form
Spectre is dropping soon at a theatre near you, so it’s time to talk about Bond, James Bond. Since I don’t know good sprint form from a Moonraker, I brought in special agent Phoebe Wright for this assignment. An 800-meter professional, Wright has acted in some excellent chase scenes herself, knows w...
Tre'Quan Smith Makes Circus Catch While His Defender Flips Him Over
UCF has had a remarkably bad 0-10 season. This is quite the shocker for the team that entered the season ranked #1 in the only college football poll that matters. Longtime coach George O’Leary retired midseason and it’s been grim down in Orlando. But at least Tre’Quan Smith is still providing us wit...

University Of Alabama "Appalled" At Hurricane Katrina-Referencing Sign
The #7 Alabama Crimson Tide host #4 LSU today. It should be a good game, and like any rivalry game, it’s had its fair share of fan pranks, celebrity (kinda) appearances (almost), and moments of staggering public idiocy from college students. ...

Nah, That's Not Right
Asheville, N.C. ABC station WLOS tried a bit of pre-game prognostication on its early morning show today. There are... some problems here.

Latvian Dunks Basketball
Kristaps Porzingis, a Baltic giraffe who plays for the Knicks, is already cool and fun, which is a welcome surprise after a summer where he was tabbed as quite the project.
