Giant Robots And Giant Aliens. <em>Pacific Rim</em>, Reviewed.
1. Lord help me, I couldn't have been happier coming out of Pacific Rim. It's not a great movie—it's just barely a good one—but it is a damned relief. This is not a sour, darkened, lumbering, origin-story-spinning blockbuster complete with plodding backstory and a faux antihero at its center. It is...

A fan at Comerica Park with no use for Alejandro De Aza's solo home run ball yesterday sent it back, as home fans tend to do when visiting players hit one out. All well and good.

Single-game tickets for Tennessee Titans home games go on sale this morning. Most people intend to buy them online. Not David Cline.

New York Jets fifth-round draft pick Oday Aboushi, the 22-year-old offensive lineman from the University of Virginia, is a physical freak.
