Official Jets Hype Video Features Climactic Typo
The New York Jets suck, but that didn't prevent them from putting together a neat little hype video in advance of tonight's game against the New England Patriots.

Spa Dog Is Today's Chillest Dog
We all aspire to the emotional condition of this dog, depicted here in (presumably) his owner's (presumably) storage unit blissing out to some chill music while a (presumably) jealous-ass fellow dog looks on, jealously. Consider it a goal. Good luck. Find your beach. ...

This morning, Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire posted a photo of himself bathing in red wine on his Instagram page. At the time, I honestly did not believe he was actually bathing in red wine, because why would a person do that? I was wrong. Amar'e Stoudemire bathes in wine all the damn time....

<em>Red Dawn</em> Is Delusional Right-Wing Porn In The Best Possible Way
The best scenes in the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead aren't the early bursts of urban confusion or the biker-zombie rumbles.

How Deadspin Fucked Up The Cory Gardner Story
On Wednesday, Deadspin published a story questioning the football bona fides of U.S. Rep.
