Last night, the Paris attacks touched the Stade de France during a game between Germany and France.

MLB Gets Huffy Over <i>Fallout 4 </i>David Ortiz Modification

Fallout 4 is set in Boston, so some creative soul named Richie Branson created a David Ortiz mod, and gave players the chance to bash baddies in a full Red Sox uniform. (Kindly overlook the fact that Big Papi’s actually a lefty.) It was a neat, free customization, but MLB was not as receptive....

The Cool Pope Is Not Down With Texting At The Dinner Table

Pope Francis is cool with lots of things: He’s down with the gays, he’s (marginally) more chill about abortion, and he would welcome aliens from outer space with open arms. He’s reasonable and real, and down with the kids. But if there’s one thing he will not stand, it’s using your flippin’ smartph...

Monte Gaddis was raised in Cleveland, played college football at Towson, and had an overseas stint in the Polish American Football League. Now back in Ohio, the 23-year-old formulated an interesting strategy in an effort to earn a new gig: Stand in front of the Browns’ facilities until someone notic...

It’s only taken eight games for Timberwolves rookie Karl-Anthony Towns to establish himself as one of the dopest young players in the league—seriously, go watch some KAT highlights right now if you haven’t seen him play yet; he’s extremely good—but not that long ago he was just a baby-faced teen ido...

Tell Us About The Grossest Thing You've Ever Seen On Public Transportation 

One morning last week, I was riding the train into Manhattan, and saw a woman slurping down a Tupperware container full of soupy, smelly oatmeal. She sat perched on the edge of her seat, shoveling glob after glob into her mouth. I couldn’t get off the train fast enough. It was gross! Surely you’ve s...

<i>Skin Trade </i>Lets<i> </i>Dolph Lundgren Cook, And For A Dumb Action Flick, That's Enough

Dolph Lundgren has had a couple of cups of coffee with the American pop-cultural psyche: haughtily sneering over Apollo Creed’s death in Rocky IV, wearing a necklace of severed ears in Universal Soldier, that sort of thing. But he never crossed over to the upper tier of action stars, and it’s hard t...

Don't Do That

Why Are Hot Takers Truthering The Missouri Fiasco?

Missouri is playing a football game this Saturday night—a game that was recently put in jeopardy by the ongoing firestorm at the school. It’s a big ol’ shitshow that promises to get messier before it gets cleaner, with potential strikes, ousted chancellors, professors begging for muscle (coming righ...

WADA Report: Drug Testing Works, But Bribery Works Better

The corruption at the top of track and field and the institutionalized doping miasma makes me tired. It’s supposed to. If it is ugly and confusing enough, lousy with unintelligible acronyms, most observers will just say, The hell with it, they’re all juiced to the gills, and most athletes will say, ...

Men's Rights Activists Trolled With Lines From <i>Good Will Hunting</i>

The Only Rule Is Refusal: A Song For Rand Paul

By the end of last night’s debate, Rand Paul had been reduced to smirking and reciting the Real Fiscal Conservatism rulebook—You can’t spend trillions on the military and be a real conservative, so are you a real conservative?—like a five-year-old who’d caught a playmate in the irreconcilable though...

<i>Fargo </i>Is The Best Show On TV Because It's The Coolest, Weirdest Place On TV

The second season of FX’s anthology series Fargo is such a self-evidently excellent show—it’s the best thing on TV right now, for my money—that it’s hard to describe just how good it is. Watching a new episode unfold is a bit like watching the San Antonio Spurs run yet another flawless offensive set...

LSU Investigating Leonard Fournette's Family For (Briefly) Selling Merchandise

The iTunes Terms And Conditions Makes A Great Graphic Novel

When iTunes hits you with their Terms and Conditions, you click “accept” and move on. It would take you a very, very long time to actually, you know, read it like you’re supposed to. But artist R. Sikoryak has come up with an easier, more enjoyable way to absorb it....
