Fitness Is Not A Computer
Here is what you need in order to work out: your own body, something to wear, at least 64 cubic feet of space (though less will do in a pinch). Here is what you do not need: a computer on your wrist. Particularly not if that computer is trying to snitch on you. ...

Here's Rapper Fabolous Dry Snitching On Raymond Felton's Infidelity
New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton has had a rough go of it lately. His ex-wife Ariane Raymondo-Felton filed for divorce on February 18. Six days later, she turned in a gun she said she found in her home to police. New York doesn't play that, and Felton was arrested and charged with three co...

Three Oklahoma Teens Allegedly Murder Baseball Player Out Of Boredom

Why Baseball Needs Troy Tulowitzki
On Monday night, the Colorado Rockies lost to the Blue Jays. Despite getting a strong effort from starter Jorge De La Rosa, the Rockies just couldn't muster any offense—they went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position—and eventually fell 2-0. Tuesday, they scored three runs and lost. Wednesday, tw...
It's A Turd! It's Plain! <em>Man Of Steel</em>, Reviewed.
1. On the surface, it seems obvious why you'd attempt to reboot the Superman franchise using the Christopher Nolan-Batman model. Nolan's Dark Knight films are terrific, brooding and powerful, and, oh by the way, they grossed a combined $2.5 billion worldwide. But their trying to make a tortured-supe...
The Most Successful Stud Horse Of All Time Has Died
Storm Cat won $570,000 in his racing career, which lasted from 1985-1987. But in his second life, he was the most prolific and successful stud horse in the history of racing, at one point bringing in $500,000 per foal....
Matt Martin Knocks Out Tom Kostopoulos, Motions To Have Bench Collect Him
The Islanders beat the Devils 3-1 Monday night in New Jersey and continued an improbable, late-season push for a playoff spot. John Tavares scored his 22nd goal of the season, Evgeni Nabokov out-tended Martin Brodeur and the Islanders have now won four of their last five. ...
Ed Reed And Eddie Money Sang "Two Tickets To Paradise" And It Was An Uncomfortable Mess
Singing Eddie Money's "Two Tickets To Paradise" sort of became Ed Reed's thing during the Ravens' Super Bowl run. He sang at the send-off before the game and at the celebration in Baltimore after the win. And probably a million times in between in the shower, too—stupid Geico commercial—but this, ...
UK Hockey Team Ditches New American Owner After It Turns Out He's A Registered Sex Offender
For the NHL's litany of poor potential owners—John Spano's swindling, Boots Del Biaggio's fraud, Greg Jamison straight up not having the money—at least this has never happened. The Belfast Giants, in the UK's EIHL, were recently sold to American Floridian Christopher Knight. That was before they lea...
The Killer Ex-LAPD Cop's Manifesto Has Advice For Tim Tebow

Quentin Tarantino, Slave To His Habits: <em>Django Unchained</em>, Reviewed
1. Django Unchained is giddily entertaining, powerful, confident filmmaking by a guy who keeps finding new tricks up his sleeve with every movie. It's a big, sprawling statement that throws everything at the wall and sees what sticks, which has always been one of the strengths of Quentin Tarantino, ...
Sam Rockwell Is The Next Christopher Walken
There's a scene, late in Seven Psychopaths, the deliriously entertaining meta-movie that opens Friday, when Sam Rockwell's character Billy—the most psychopathic of all the psychopaths of the title—attempts to decipher the hoary adage, "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." He mulls for a ...
