Chance The Rapper And Donnie Trumpet's <i>Surf</i> Is All Good Feelings
A while back, Chance the Rapper, Nico Segal (aka Donnie Trumpet), and the Social Experiment (their band), covered the theme song to the PBS children’s show Arthur.

This Is Probably My Favorite Sports GIF
In the course of an intraoffice chat about some social-media stuff you wouldn’t care about, we shared a bunch of our favorite sports GIFs. Turns out there are a lot of very good sports GIFs. But I think the GIF of an unconscious Nuggets mascot being lowered to the court might be my favorite....

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...
Adrian Peterson Goes On A Twitter Rant About His Contract
Adrian Peterson and his agent don’t want to be with the Minnesota Vikings anymore. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday that the running back “can play for us.

Supercut: <i>Daredevil</i>'s Gumshoe-Journalist Subplot Is Butt
Netflix’s Daredevil is mostly bad. Sure, there are some good fight scenes, but the corny story arcs and bad acting that burden the first season makes it a better fit on the CW or ABC Family. And nothing in the first season is more cringe-worthy than the storyline concerning a grizzled old newspaper ...

Bryce Harper Mad He Flied Out, Actually Hits Home Run
Bryce Harper is on such a tear right now—with a .467 on-base percentage and .734 slugging percentage—that the Nationals outfielder’s flyouts turn into home runs, like the one he hit Tuesday night against the Cubs.

Carlo Ancelotti Is Real Madrid's Newest Scapegoat
It’s maybe a little disconcerting that Real Madrid—a players’ club if there ever was one; one where the 8th-biggest name on the team sheet likely holds more sway in the future direction of the club than any of the ever-changing coaches thrown aboard then unceremoniously shoved off the managerial mer...
Colin Kaepernick Unwisely Compares Self To Houston Floods
Colin Kaepernick’s hashtag of choice is #7tormsComing, which is a horrible sentence to write. The 49ers QB decided to use it again today with the Houston flash floods as a news peg, along with a photo of some local devastation. The message wasn’t only insensitive to the alphabet....
