Evgeni Malkin Scores One Of The Best Goals Of The NHL Season
The Edmonton Oilers got a rare win last night in Pittsburgh against Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins. But the Penguins did send it to a shootout, on a comeback that Evgeni Malkin started here. He now has two of the prettiest goals I’ve seen all year....
Good Sketch
I watched W/ Bob & David this week and went on a run of old Mr. Show sketches. The pre-taped call-in show is genius....

Someone Please Explain This To Us
Here is video of the perfoming of national anthems before today’s Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko heavyweight title fight. It is by something we were told by Michael Buffer is named “The Dark Center.” We’re all very confused by this....

Bournemouth And Everton Just Combined For the Best Finish Of The Premier League Season
Bournemouth and Everton just finished up a 3-3 barnburner that featured a Ross Barkley goal in the 95th minute, a mob of Everton fans rushing the pitch, then a Bournemouth equalizer after that in the 98th. Bournemouth’s first came in the 80th from Adam Smith, the English right back and noted economi...
Russell Westbrook On Former Teammate Reggie Jackson: "Who?"
Reggie Jackson left the Oklahoma City Thunder under contentious circumstances last season. He wanted the minutes and opportunities of a starting player, so he was not the ideal player to back up Russell Westbrook, and it really harmed the Thunder’s chemistry last season. After he got shipped out to ...
<i>The Danish Girl</i> Makes Transgender Issues Safe For The Oscar Crowd
Of all the adjectives to describe a movie, “well-intentioned” is among the least scintillating and most wearying. It’s why a lot of people have an aversion to so-called Oscar-bait— they’re the kind of films that pop up around award season to address important subjects in a respectful way, with the h...

How Towson University Handled Its Locker Room Recording Scandal
Forty days after members of the Towson University women’s swimming and diving team discovered a phone recording them in their locker room, most details about the incident remain unknown to the public. But behind the scenes, the school was working feverishly—and not always entirely effectively—to dis...
<i>Creed </i>Hits Harder The Further It Gets From Rocky Balboa's Shadow
1. Creed works better as an actual movie than it does as a Rocky movie, which is quite the compliment, considering that it’s an excellent Rocky movie, too. (I hadn’t seen it yet when Grierson and I did our Rocky movie rankings on Monday; I’m higher on it than he is.) More than a mere boxing film, it...
ESPN's Bomani Jones Cuts Straight To The Heart Of The Laquan McDonald Killing
Last night, the Chicago Police Department released footage of Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old black boy, to death.

Here's What To Do When You Barf In The Car
My guest this week on the official Ask a Clean Person podcast is Freddy Hernandez, a/k/a Tavarish, of Jalopnik fame, who joined me in the studio to lend his expertise to more of the messes you all are making of your cars. And boy, are you ever making some messes!...
Sideline Reporter Doesn't Realize She's Live, Wants A Do-Over
Props to BT Sport’s Reshmin Chowdhury for the quick rebound following her moment of spiritual distress, but even more props to the cameraman for not reminding her it was live....
Titans: Please Cheer For Us
It’s rough being a Titans fan. Tennessee is winless at home over its last 10 games, and 4-20 going back to 2013. Attendance is down, and at Nissan Stadium (that’s what it’s called now, turns out), especially toward the end of blowout losses, visiting fans can feel louder and more numerous than those...
<i>The Good Dinosaur's</i> Visual Grandeur Makes Up For Its Lack Of Wit
One of the constant accolades Pixar receives about its movies is that they’re not made just for kids. This is meant as a compliment: While they’re animated and appeal to children, their emotional and thematic sophistication also makes them satisfying to grownups—maybe even more so. The downside to t...

Florentino Pérez Is What's Wrong With Real Madrid
After seeing how summarily Barcelona dispensed with Real Madrid, the temptation is to lay the blame at the feet of their first-year manager, Rafa Benítez. That seems to be the way club president Florentino Pérez is leaning. (Benítez has even received the dreaded vote of confidence! The end is nigh!)...
How To Get Four Offensive Rebounds In 11 Seconds, Starring Andre Drummond
This sequence, from last night’s Pistons-Bucks game, is just hilarious. That’s Andre Drummond—the biggest, baddest rebounder in the league—deploying his brute strength, nose for the ball, and lack of finesse in a way that perfectly encapsulates him as a player....
