Vancouver Papers Apologize For Describing Jordan Subban As "Dark Guy"
How would you caption this photo of Vancouver Canuck Jordan Subban celebrating a goal with his teammates? Maybe you'd reference his uniform number, since it's the only one not clearly visible. Whatever the solution, "dark guy in the middle" was not it....

Crazy-eyed butter-marm Paula Deen took to The Today Show this morning, ostensibly to talk about life lessons and learnin' from mah mistakes, yawl and other such nonsense, but really to promote her dumber-than-hell ill-conceived new subscription-based online network. ...
Denzel Washington Will Kick Your Ass Now: <em>The Equalizer</em>, Reviewed
1. I know we just talked about Liam Neeson around here, but I feel obliged to bring him back up, because suffice it to say, if Liam Neeson doesn't have the aforementioned late-career action-movie rebirth, there is no way The Equalizer exists. Ostensibly a big-screen reboot of the CBS crime procedu...

Michigan Pretends It Isn't Desperate To Give Away Tickets
I won't make fun of Michigan football for practically giving away tickets to keep its 100,000-plus attendance streak alive.

Guilder Rodríguez Gets First Big League Hit After 1,095 Games In Minors
Baseball's expanded September rosters are mostly just useful for letting fans of non-contending teams get a glimpse of the future.

The Ravens took the weekend to marshal a response to ESPN's big Ray Rice story, and it's here—in the form of a press conference by owner Steve Bisciotti and an online rebuttal to points made in the ESPN report.

Music Video Made Of Madden GIFs Is Really Stupid And Funny
I don't know if it's just because it's the late afternoon and I'm feeling a little loopy, or if it's the unexpected presence of Evanescence—anyone knows what's good with Evanescence these days?—or the triumphant vibe of Geno Smith's spike, but this dumb video is making me laugh a lot. I hope it make...

Adam Schefter: NFL Players Had Access To Rice Video Weeks After Incident
It seems like each day brings a new piece of information making it very, very hard to believe that the NFL and the Baltimore Ravens never saw video of Ray Rice knocking out Janay Palmer before TMZ made the tape public.

The <em>Lost</em> Cast’s Post-<em>Lost</em> Careers, Ranked
Theoretically, Lost was a career-making show. That's certainly been true for the people behind the scenes, starting with co-creator J.J. Abrams, who parlayed his infinite geek cred into control of both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises. He's essentially double-fisting holy grails. Showrunners D...

That Awesome Trick Play To Johnny Manziel Was Illegal, It Turns Out
If there was a theme to Week 3, it was quarterbacks catching passes. Andy Dalton's first career reception went for a touchdown. Russell Wilson nearly scored one of his own. But the coolest and sneakiest of the afternoon's unorthodox grabs nearly went to the Browns and Johnny Manziel, with a trick ...
