Hold X To Kick Spacey's Ass: Defending <em>Call Of Duty: Advance Warfare</em>
Last night I watched in horror as high-tech commandos blew up the Golden Gate Bridge, sending huge chunks of my city's signature landmark showering down onto a fleet of Navy vessels.

UNC Athletes Were Steered To School's Sports Ethics Professor

The school's student newspaper has examined additional documents, and finds a larger-...
So Stupid It Just Might Work: <em>Dumb And Dumber To</em>, Reviewed
1. Before you get too wrapped up in the negative early reaction to Dumb and Dumber To, the 20-years-later sequel to the 1994 mega-hit, remember that critics hated the first one. Critics are notoriously bad at predicting what comedies are going to stand the test of time; the target is always moving...
MLS Is Still Pissed Off At Jürgen Klinsmann
It was obvious at the time that MLS commissioner Don Garber's tirade against Jürgen Klinsmann last month was about much more than the innocuous statements they were ostensibly in response to. Sure enough, ESPN FC is reporting that MLS bigwigs remain "irate" at Klinsmann—this time for what they see a...

Steph Curry Hits A Cool-Ass 40-Foot Warmup Shot From The Tunnel
Guys take weirdo shots from all over in warmups, and if you go to a ton of games, this is maybe something you see a few times a year. But look man, if you're not down with watching Steph flop in a 40-footer and signing autographs as it falls, I don't know what to tell you. ...
MLB Tipped Off The Feds About Biogenesis

Hoop Dreams, Rap Nightmares: Revisiting <em>B-Ball's Best Kept Secret</em>
There's no semblance of a barrier between professional athletes and rappers today, but that wasn't the case in 1994.

Joakim Noah To Derrick Rose Critics: "Chill The Fuck Out"
No one in Chicago is talking about the third quarter of last night's Bulls game, when the team held the Toronto Raptors to 14 points right in front of Drake and God. Everyone is, rather, talking about the fourth quarter, when Derrick Rose left what was on the verge of becoming a nearly close game a...
Michael Carter-Williams, Professed Non-Tanker, Tanks
The 76ers are a sorry excuse for a professional sports franchise. Last season they had the second worst record in the league. During the draft this offseason they had two top-12 picks, and chose to take a guy that has a season-long injury and a guy that is going to play in Europe this year. They'v...
