John Woo's Mesmerizing <i>The Killer </i>Changed Action-Movie History Forever
The best John Woo movie, and the main reason action-movie dorks speak the guy’s name in hushed tones, is 1992’s Hard-Boiled. That’s the last one he made in Hong Kong before he came over to America and found ways to inject his bullet-riddled absurdism into Hollywood’s system, and it’s the one where h...

The Cavs And Kyrie Irving Seem To Disagree On His Injury
This Kyrie Irving injury is especially frustrating because, for his 44 minutes on the court, he looked great. Looked like his old self, before his left knee started to give out at the beginning of these playoffs, putting up 23 points, seven boards, six assists, and two very definitive blocks of Step...
When The Warriors Play Small They're Unstoppable
In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, neither the Warriors nor Cavaliers were able to perform for more than a couple of minutes at a time. That can partially be attributed to the rust from a week off, but each team also executed a successful defensive scheme. The Warriors didn’t double LeBron James, letting ...
Some Very Aggressive Kissing On The Kiss Cam At Oracle Tonight
The Kiss Cam is overused as an in-arena gimmick, but the camera/jumbotron operator at Oracle Arena tonight for Game 1 of the NBA Finals did something I haven’t seen before, which was to keep the camera trained on couples after they had already kissed. It resulted in some, uhh, very enthusiastic kiss...
Nike Coach Alberto Salazar Accused Of Drug Violations
The distance running world was shaken a few months ago by top-level Kenyan and Russian doping convictions, but, you know, that was somewhere else. It was over there, not here in the US of A.

LeSean McCoy Is Fed Up With Being Asked About Chip Kelly
Last month, LeSean McCoy observed that Eagles coach Chip Kelly was quick to “[get] rid of all the good black players.” Guess what’s the only thing everyone wants to ask McCoy about since he reported to Bills camp? And guess what McCoy has no intentions of revisiting?...
Threesomes Are Fun (If You Do Them Right)
In the pantheon of sexual fantasies blissful to imagine but volatile to undertake, threesomes are near the top of the list. It might seem like a ménage à trois should be an easy sell: more hands! More mouths! More genitals! More fun! Yet such logic evades the emotional brains driving our hot-sex-mac...
Mets Pitcher Dillon Gee Says He Was Tricked Into Supporting Gun Control

A 20-Year-Old Saved The Blackhawks And Fears The Media
Game 1 was two minutes from feeling very different. For a span of nearly 50 minutes, it appeared that Alex Killorn’s absurd deflection (I don’t want to call it “fluky,” because it wasn’t accidental, but Killorn couldn’t do that again if he tried) would stand up and give the Lightning a series lead. ...
Let's Watch Some Dudes In Chicago Engage In Roman Candle Warfare
You haven’t lived if you haven’t engaged in the highly dangerous yet thrilling pastime of fighting with fireworks.
