Old Man Kobe And The Young Lakers Are Fun As Hell
Kobe Bryant, who is older than hell, crankier than hell, and shackled to a misshapen Lakers team, looked better than he has in years tonight as his Lakers fell to the Timberwolves at home 112-111. This game was stuffed full of cool shit: the two teams’ tribute to the recently passed Flip Saunders; N...
The Political Satire <i>Our Brand Is Crisis </i>Isn't Nearly As Sharp As It Pretends To Be
Our Brand Is Crisis means to cast a harsh light on presidential campaigns, but it mostly just panders.

Colin Kaepernick Donked A Guy Right In The Face
Somehow, this was a matchup of teams with identical records. But the Seahawks’ 20-3 win over the 49ers felt like so many of the blowouts in the recent one-sided stretch of the Seattle-San Francisco rivalry. The only things that set this one apart were the Niners’ especially unproductive offense, the...

The Pitcher Who Couldn't Lose
Bronson Arroyo was in some small town near Los Angeles, the name of which he doesn’t remember, and he was thinking about getting old.

Howie Kendrick Is Probably Still Looking For A Jeurys Familia Slider To Swing At
Sports tactics are easier to judge after the fact, of course, and I am not a big-league lifer, so take this with a grain of salt.
