How To Buy Antiques, And Why
That’s right: antiques. Now, let me guess your Pavlovian response: drab chairs you wouldn’t trash-pick even without the bed-bug anxiety, grandmotherly floral couches in their eternal plastic seals, mildew mingling with stale perfume, and no delicious Swedish meatballs in sight. But you’ve got it all...
Antonio Cromartie's Penis Is Unstoppable
Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie has fathered 10 children, so it made plenty of sense when he decided to get a vasectomy, because 10 children is plenty of children.

Deshaun Watson Deserved Better
It’s not right to call any part of Alabama’s 45-40 victory in last night’s national championship game fluky, but there’s no denying that they were carried to the win by precisely the kind of wild, momentum-swinging plays that we usually see buoying an underdog’s chances. ‘Bama was of course the favo...
How Alabama Pulled Off The Perfect Onside Kick
Alabama, it will not surprise you if you know Nick Saban’s near-sociopathic attention to detail, had been practicing precisely that onside kick every week since August. But it wasn’t until long film study had identified a potential weakness in Clemson’s kick return coverage, and firsthand observatio...
Clemson Doomed Themselves By Giving Up Too Many Big Plays
On most plays during the national championship game, it seemed that the outcome favored Clemson.

Ballon d’Or Voting Is Full Of Bizarre Ballots
This is how democracy works. You give the right to vote to a large swath of people of varying ages, expertise levels, and motivations, add up their collective responses, and hope to come out with a good result. Today’s Ballon d’Or award ceremony, where Lionel Messi won the thing for the fifth time o...
The Dos And Don'ts Of Divorce
Roughly 27 months ago, I separated from my wife of 10 years; early last year, our divorce was finalized. In works of fiction, newly emancipated men inevitably spiral into eyebrow-raising excess to evade grief and (perhaps) eventually fishtail toward self-understanding. It turns out that in real life...
