Your NFL Week 7 Viewing Maps
The Week 7 early set gives us the Bengals and the Colts, two of the AFC teams that, at this early stage, look to have legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. The only other early game that features two teams at .500 or better is Panthers at Packers. And later, the Giants are the opponent in what seems li...

So I'm looking for...

Your NFL Week 1 Viewing Maps
Oddly, there are but two 4:00 pm games today, while you'll get to choose from 10 contests at 1 pm. How this is consumer-friendly or beneficial to anyone but Fox, I don't know, but I guess consumer-friendly has never been the goal here....

How Gotham City Got Mapped
It's tough to build a great fantasy world without a map—there's a reason why the Game of Thrones credits are basically a Google Earth flyover—and comic book worlds are no exception. While Batman's "Gotham City" has been around since 1940, it wasn't properly mapped until 1998's "No Man's Land" arc. O...
