How To Buy Antiques, And Why
That’s right: antiques.

It is a huge surprise that the Colts decided to stick with Chuck Pagano as head coach—he’s been a dead man walking for weeks, and very specific reports had Jim Irsay set to fire him at the close of a disappointing season. But the unexpectedness of Pagano’s retention pales in comparison to the absolu...

<i>Infernal Affairs </i>Can't Escape <i>The Departed</i>'s Shadow, But Watch It Anyway
Hong Kong action-movie directors have picked up a lot from Martin Scorsese.

That Troy Tulowitzki Ejection Sure Was Strange
MLB is lucky last night’s Royals-Blue Jays game was a victory for the Jays, because if the Royals had pulled ahead late and Troy Tulowitzki hadn’t been there to bat in the bottom of the ninth, all of Canada would be calling for home plate umpire John Hirschbeck’s head....

<i>First Blood </i>Is A Darker, Sadder, And Better Rambo Flick Than You Remember
The climax of 1982’s First Blood isn’t a gun battle or a knife fight. It’s Sylvester Stallone, as John Rambo, breaking down into big, blubbery tears, trying to make sense of the world around him.
