Stay-At-Home Dads Of The World, Unite!
We are a vast, disconnected, sleep-deprived sleeper cell.

We kiss boo-boos, braid hair, and fix the kitchen faucet. Call us Mr. Moms, stay-at-home...
This Is Why Kilian Jornet Did Not Return Emails Yesterday
So, while you’re warming a chair, carving the brain-pathway triangle from screen to keyboard to couch ever deeper, Catalan runner/climber/skier/mountain man Kilian Jornet was contemplating this line. I think that’s Jornet in the yellow, and steep skiing guide Vivian Bruchez in the blue, with Seb Mon...

Men Should (Usually) Not Wear Sandals

Fast-Food Guac-Off: Subway Versus Dunkin' Donuts
Sauces and adjectives are the coagulated lifeblood of fast-food “innovation,” because it’s relatively cheap and easy to spike ranch dressing with cayenne dust, refer to the resulting substance as Kickin’, and splort it onto a chicken patty. It’s a slimy move, but what do you expect them to do? Impro...
What The Fresh Hell Is This Rob Gronkowski Video?
Gregarious tricep Rob Gronkowski did an interview with DuJour—we have no idea what it is, but it claims to be “Where Luxury Lives”—and while the written profile doesn’t cover much new ground outside of Gronk’s drinking preferences, which we’ll get to later, the video accompanying the article is quit...

Missouri TV Station Airs <i>Branson Country USA</i> Instead Of Game 7
Hockey fans in Joplin, Mo. hoping to see an exciting Game 7 between Chicago and Anaheim tonight aren’t getting live Stanley Cup Playoffs hockey on NBC.

Is Yasiel Puig Suddenly Expendable? Nah.
You would think that a lengthy stint on the disabled list would spare us from dopey columns about Yasiel Puig. And yet, here we are, watching L.A. Times columnist Bill Plaschke turn his palms toward the sky and ask, “Do the Dodgers even neeeeeeed Yasiel Puig???”...
Shuttered Newspaper Goes Straight For The Dick-Joke Headline
On Thursday, News Limited announced that it would be ceasing publication of mX, a free Australian tabloid that circulated in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Following this announcement, mX decided to die historic on a fury road....
Cameron Crowe's <i>Aloha</i> Is Every Bit The Disaster You Suspected
As a rule, I ignore negative buzz about upcoming movies. For one thing, you never know the agenda behind those leaking damaging information about reshoots or bad test-screening scores. For another, the film industry is littered with classic movies that were initially thought to be duds. (How many or...
The Time Barry Bonds Was Intentionally Walked With The Bases Loaded
Seventeen years ago today—May 28, 1998—Diamondbacks manager Buck Showalter made the decision to intentionally walk Barry Bonds with the bases loaded. It’s the rarest of baseball strategies, but it didn’t feel nearly as wrong as it might have: Bonds was, after all, the most fearsome hitter of all tim...
Skeet-Shooting 101: How To Handle A Shotgun Safely And Awesomely
Guns make for poor conversation. Generally speaking, there are two entrenched ideological camps—aficionados and abolitionists—and any attempt to hold a middle ground is likely to enflame both sides. You, by now, probably know how you feel about guns, and this is, by no means, an attempt to change th...

Yesterday’s NESN broadcast of the Red Sox-Twins game featured a mid-game interlude of the announcers discussing their memories of the dear, departed Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. It also featured video of the Metrodome being imploded—something that never happened....
Jerry Jones: Still Skeevily Groping Women?
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a chance to enjoy(?) some pictures of gross-ass Jerry Jones fondling women while desperately trying to work up a boner, but we can (apparently) do it again today thanks to some new pictures published by Terez Owens....
How Did We All Get Sucked Into James Harden's Nightmare?
He had more turnovers than shot attempts. The whole performance was bad—sickeningly bad, broadly and in nearly all its details—but the main thing to know is that in last night’s Game 5 elimination, Houston’s James Harden conveyed the ball to the Golden State Warriors more times (13, a playoff record...
