Counterprogramming Football: What To Watch Today Instead Of The NFL
So, here we are at Week 4, roughly the quarter mark of the NFL season and the first round of bye weeks.

The <em>Lost</em> Cast’s Post-<em>Lost</em> Careers, Ranked
Theoretically, Lost was a career-making show. That's certainly been true for the people behind the scenes, starting with co-creator J.J. Abrams, who parlayed his infinite geek cred into control of both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises. He's essentially double-fisting holy grails. Showrunners D...

The Worst Road Users, Ranked
The streets are not safe. Lurking around every corner there is an asshole cyclist or a maniacal UPS driver ready to plow into anyone in sight. In our parks, children and the elderly are routinely yelled at by runners, cyclists, and stoners on longboards (watch out, breh). And in our cities, unifor...
