Zigging And Zagging And Then Ending: <em>Don Jon</em>, Reviewed
1. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of those actors for whom I find it nearly impossible not to root.

NFL Films Tackles Eric Berry's Crippling Fear Of Horses

Rays Owner Says Terrible Attendance Will Affect Team's Payroll
Rays owner Stuart Sternberg set his sights high: "I felt we would be 28th, maybe with a shot at 27th."

Hear A Bengals Announcer Lose His Mind Over The Go-Ahead Fumble Return
Late in the Bengals win over Green Bay, Johnathan Franklin took a fourth-and-one carry only to fumble, see the ball scooped up by Terence Newman, and returned 58 yards for what would be the winning score. Exciting? You bet. Almost too much to handle for Cincinnati's radio color guy....
Astros Outfielder L.J. Hoes Has Feelings, Dammit
One would imagine that L.J. Hoes has heard roughly 10,000 different variations of "Haha, your last name is Hoes!" over the course of his life, and that his patience for people who mock his name is understandably low.
