This Is The Best Store-Brand Beer
My wife is very thrifty and low-maintenance, so for the first two years of our relationship, I resisted pointing out that we could buy two yachts or pay off our student loans if she'd just please switch from Advil to a generic pain reliever. It was frustrating, but she doesn't ask for much, so I fig...
No One Can Do The "OOH WAH AH AH AH" Part From That Disturbed Song
Even if you despise Disturbed and their chode-rock anthem "Down With the Sickness," you know what it is. And you know the part at the beginning when lead singer David Draiman hoarsely yells, "OOH WAH AH AH AH." After googling the phrase—initially looking for the five-minute "endurance test"—I found ...
The Bills Dispatched Snowmobiles To Get Players Out Of Buffalo
Once the NFL announced that Jets-Bills would be moved to Detroit, the Bills' concern turned toward figuring out how to actually get the team there. With a driving ban still in place—and many areas of Western New York still impassable, it's no small task to round up 50-something players, plus coach...
Jonas Gray Gets Belichicked
Even though Jonas Gray had the best game of his short career last Sunday, Bill Belichick didn't let it slide when the running back was late to practice today. Gray says he was late because his phone died, so his alarm didn't go off, but Belichick's hardass rules bend for no one. The team held Gray o...
Nickelback Are Not The Problem
Like eating hot wings rubbed with ghost chilies or swimming to Alcatraz, listening to a new Nickelback album requires an intrepid spirit, a certain pain tolerance, and a thirst for endorphins. Among the many scintillating things you can say about this band—and there are many, and we will say them—is...
Here's Wayne Rooney's Cute Little Son Doing A Cute Little Cartwheel
After his second goal in the England-Scotland match earlier this week, Wayne Rooney celebrated by doing a cartwheel. Today, he revealed the inspiration behind the move by posting an Instagram video of his son Kai's favorite new move:...
Zinedine Zidane No Longer Has To Pretend Not To Coach Team He Coaches
A couple months ago, we told you about how Zinedine Zidane, manager of Real Madrid Castilla, was under investigation for not having the proper coaching qualifications. The Frenchman had two ways to fight the impending punishment: either cadge up the qualifications or deny that he was actually the ma...

The Moment Chicago Radio Hosts Found Out On The Air That They Were Fired

K.J. McDaniels's Mom Is Sick And Tired Of The Sixers Tanking
The tanking-ass Sixers are gross and bad, and this fact has not gone unnoticed by Sixers guard K.J. McDaniels's mom. Recently, she took to Twitter to let people know that she does not appreciate the Sixers' bullshit....
Bills Tell Fans To Call Domestic-Violence Hotline For Ticket Refunds
With Jets-Bill being moved to Monday in Detroit, snowbound Buffalo-area fans are naturally concerned about getting their refunds. The Bills put up a post on their website listing their options, and told fans to call a number with any questions. It was not the right number. ...
Maple Leafs Fans Finish "Star-Spangled Banner" After Mic Cuts Out
Before the Predators blew out the Maple Leafs Tuesday night, the pregame singer's microphone broke. The Toronto crowd picked up where she left off and finished out "The Star-Spangled Banner" strong. Crowds singing national anthems might rank above instrumental national anthems....
Xabi Alonso Forced To Apologize To Ronaldo For Stupid, Fake Controversy
Remember that dumb story Real Madrid pitched to their stooges at Marca yesterday, where some milquetoast statements of Xabi Alonso's were folded, kneaded, and ultimately transformed into direct insults to former teammates Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas? Well, it worked....
Mike Evans Is Too Big, Too Fast, And Too Physical For Defenses To Stop
You should ignore the two-win Buccaneers and their two-bit alarm-clock uniforms. The Bucs suck, and have been on the end of some of the worst beatdowns of the year. There is at least one bright spot, however: Mike Evans is putting up crazy numbers, and he's only 21....
The ND Player Bill Cosby Berated Felt Like A Failure For Years Afterward
Yesterday, we told you about the time Bill Cosby acted like a dickbag and made a Notre Dame All-American football player named Dean Brown cry at his graduation in 1989. This morning, we received an email from a guy named Jerry Barca, who wrote a book about the 1988 Notre Dame season and saw firsthan...
God Help Me, I <em>Do</em> Care About The Maple Leafs' Stupid Salute Controversy
The Maple Leafs—or more specifically, their fans and their media—have a talent. Every controversy seems to immediately skip a stage and go directly to the meta. It's been 12 hours, and it's no longer about whether the Leafs deliberately snubbed their fans by skipping the customary stick salute aft...
<em>Total Recall</em> Was Fucking Awesome
During the first scene of the original 1990 Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger's head explodes. It's just a dream sequence, and the camera cuts away before his face actually pops open. But the fact remains: One of the biggest summer blockbusters of its era opens by forcing you to contemplate the mo...
