Here's Martin Luther King Jr. Telling A Joke On <i>The Tonight Show</i>
OK, it's not a good joke, but the man was busy.

The Laptop Of Thor: <i>Blackhat, </i>Reviewed
1. Blackhat plays like a parody of a Michael Mann movie, which is depressing, given that it is a Michael Mann movie. He's one of my favorite filmmakers, with such a unique, distinct, relentlessly focused vision that you forgive all his shortcomings, from the deadly self-seriousness to the existenc...

The Grierson & Leitch 2015 Oscar-Nomination Predictions
Early tomorrow morning, nominations for the 87th Academy Awards will be announced. Now, lately, film writers have divided into two factions: You either hate horse races like this, or you're obsessed with them. This snapped into focus recently when the National Society of Film Critics chose Jean Lu...
LeBron Moves Coach Blatt Aside To Attend To Grown Folks' Business
This is just David Blatt's existence now isn't it, suffering a long string of indignities and being treated more like a rookie player than a rookie coach? One day he is forced to clarify his comments after saying Kevin Love is not a max contract player, the next LeBron James is pushing him (likely t...
Damian Lillard Is Fearless

Marshawn Lynch To Every Postgame Question: "I'm Thankful"
Marshawn Lynch had a relatively pedestrian game with 59 total rushing yards—including one impressive 25-yard run—in the Seahawk's 31-17 win over the Panthers, but after the game, the taciturn running back had to answer questions. His response of the week: "I'm thankful."...

2014 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Dan Le Batard's Hall Of Fame Ballot

Don Lemon To American Human-Rights Lawyer: "Do You Support ISIS?"
Fresh off asking an alleged rape victim why she didn't just bite her attacker's dick off, CNN anchor Don Lemon is back to insulting his show's guests via his total lack of preparation and general clown-show routine. Or maybe he's just stupid. I don't know....
Marvin Lewis Keeps His Streak Of Playoff Losses Alive
The Bengals got unceremoniously flushed out of the playoffs earlier today, losing 26-10 to the Colts. If this sounds familiar, that's because it's happened for the fourth straight season. Cincinnati is performing an admirable exercise in underachievement....
LeBron James Is Out For Two Weeks, And It Only Gets Worse For The Cavs
LeBron James will miss the next two weeks with left knee and low back strains, the Cleveland Cavaliers announced today. James has not played in a game since turning 30 on Dec. 30. He aggravated the knee — which he says has been sore all year — jumping into the stands in Miami on Christmas. ...
The Cardinals' Starting QB Will Be Ah Who Cares
This whole thing may be purely academic; the Cardinals are zeroing in on a road wild-card game, and Drew Stanton will probably be back by then. But, for the NFL completists out there: the third-stringer appears to have regained the inside track from the fourth-stringer for a likely-meaningless Week ...
Andrew Wiggins Dunking On Him Is A Metaphor For Kevin Love's Season
Andrew Wiggins had one of his best game as a pro tonight against the team that drafted him first and then traded him away, punctuating his 27 points with this thundering tomahawk jam that Kevin Love—who Wiggins was traded for—wanted no part of. Of course, the Timberwolves lost by 20 because they a...
Marshawn Lynch's Non-Answers To Stupid Questions Have Reporters Furious
Here's the last half of Marshawn's Lynch's curt, polite press conference after he ran off a play that everyone wanted to talk about. Without taking sides, it's easy to understand why reporters are frustrated that Lynch wouldn't play ball. It's also easy to understand why Lynch hates this shit....
