Incense And Disappointments. <em>Life of Pi</em>, Reviewed.
1. Life of Pi is about 65 minutes of staggering cinematic beauty surrounded by 55 minutes of touchy-feely New Age claptrap. You recognize the kind, with its choose-your-own-adventure brand of spirituality, and God as captain of the ship sailing everyone's personal journey for self-fulfillment and un...
Ed Reed Will Not Be Suspended After All
Yesterday, the NFL announced that Ravens safety Ed Reed would be suspended one game for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders. But after further review, that decision has been changed. The league just released a statement that says Reed is good to go for Sunday's game agai...
Official <em>Monday Night Football</em> Twitter Account Accidentally Links To German News Story About Brutal Nightclub Death
Apparently, ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast runs some Twitter contest that amounts to "What player is Jon Gruden thinking of right now?" Last night, Gruden was thinking of San Francisco's NaVorro Bowman, which user @DanShedd correctly guessed. The MNF crew congratulated Dan on Twitter, told h...
Desperate For Hockey, Nashville Predators Fans, Announcers And Coaches Surprise Local Youth Team
Figuring their fans had nothing better to do at the moment, the Nashville Predators invited the faithful down to a local rink for a "pizza party" last week. The pizza was just a front, though, for a flashmob meant to surprise two youth hockey teams. 200 fans, the Predators' P.A. announcer, the rad...
<em>OK!</em> Magazine Russia Names Evgeni Malkin Its Most Eligible Bachelor
The player once called "the ugliest guy in the league" has graduated to the most eligible bachelor in Russia. This says something about the men in Russia, or perhaps more about Malkin's willingness to sit for a photo shoot....
By 2025, The NBA Will Have A Latino MVP
I'd like to make a $100 bet: By 2025 the NBA will have a Latino MVP. I'm willing to go one step further, I believe it will be a U.S.-born Latino MVP. I'll go one step further still and say that it won't be Carmelo Anthony (whose father is Puerto Rican)....
Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
Chicago at San Francisco: So, this might have been a decent game but neither starting quarterback will be playing due to concussions. Instead it's Jason Campbell and Colin Kaepernick. Yikes. Kaepernick did surprise the Jets earlier this year with some solid Wildcat-esque play, but presumably the Be...

You Can See The Outline Of Some Dude's Dick On The Under Armour Wikipedia Page [UPDATE]
We could elaborate on the headline, but tipster Pat explained it well in his email. In his quest to find some legitimate information on Wikipedia, he ended up being sidetracked after discovering a picture of a guy in compression shorts, the outline of his dick clearly visible....
NFL Slaps Ed Reed With One-Game Suspension
In the third quarter last night, Ravens safety Ed Reed drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for this helmet-to-helmet hit on defenseless Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who didn't even bother to fake an injury. This being Reed's third such violation in three seasons (and second this year), ...
Jerry Reinsdorf Will Basically Bribe DePaul To Move To The United Center
DePaul's in the market for a new basketball arena. Currently they're way out at the Allstate Arena, next to the airport, but they'd really like to be closer to campus, or at least somewhere in Chicago. Rocky Wirtz and (especially) Jerry Reinsdorf want them to make the United Center their home, and t...

Orioles Prospect Needs To Find A New Superstition Now That Hostess Has Closed Up Shop
Orioles pitching prospect Kevin Gausman was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles, signed to a $4.23 million signing bonus and pitched 15 innings of professional baseball this year. Because baseball players are weirdos, Gausman must eat four powdered mini-doughnuts prior to each inning he pitches. Obviou...
<em>Life Of Pi</em>'s Ang Lee: The World's Least-Cool Great Director
It's hard to classify Ang Lee, whose latest movie, Life of Pi, comes out on Wednesday. He's a respected, acclaimed director—he won an Oscar for Brokeback Mountain—but he's not in any one niche. He's not a purely commercial filmmaker—his one stab at that was Hulk—but he's also not a challenging, prov...

Tony Parker Crossover Leaves Raymond Felton Confused
In fairness to Felton, it looks like he was anticipating the screen from Tim Duncan, and that he was trying to avoid it. Felton eventually figured out where Parker was going about an hour later, but the Knicks still won. They're now 6-and-fucking-0....
Anonymous Jets Source Believes Anonymous Jets Sources Were Made Up
This year's edition of the Jets' public meltdown began in earnest this week as the Daily News ran a series of anonymous quotes from the locker room blasting Tim Tebow's gimmickry and poor quarterbacking.

Will We Ever Hear From These <em>Twilight</em> People Again?
Friday brings with it the end of the half-decade scourge of the Twilight films. There have been five of them, and I have to confess to you, I haven't seen a single one of them. I know they are about vampires, I know the books they're based off are terrible, and I know that they make a shit-ton of mo...
