J.R. Smith And Brandon Jennings Are In A Twitter Fight
The fact that J.R. Smith's little brother occupies a spot on the Knicks' roster is and always will be a sad joke. This truth is not lost on Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings, who last night sent a since-deleted tweet expressing incredulity at the existence of Chris Smith's NBA career....
Argonauts Not Happy Rob Ford Talked About Eating Pussy In Their Jersey
When the Toronto Argonauts' social media manager woke up this morning, I doubt he or she thought that they were going to have to tweet out an official statement regarding Rob Ford and all the pussy he may or may not be eating. But Ford decided to wear his customized "MAYOR FORD" Argos jersey while c...
Jon Stewart Rips Chicago Pizza A New Saucehole
On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart tackled the council decision that named One World Trade Center America's tallest building, surpassing the Willis (née Sears) Tower.

A Good Cry: How Alexander Payne Became The Auteur Of The Male Weepie
My favorite Alexander Payne movie is always going to be Election. His 1999 satire—about a high school teacher (Matthew Broderick) who makes it his mission to ensure that the ambitious Tracy Flick (a never-better Reese Witherspoon) fails to win her election for class president—wasn't just incredibly,...
