Officials Completely Miss Game-Winning Goal
The Sabres are very, very bad. The Sharks are very, very good. So for Buffalo to even take San Jose to overtime and gain a point was a moral victory. The Sabres got a real victory too, but only because everyone in the arena somehow missed the Sharks pretty clearly putting the puck over the line in o...

Hammer Of The Gods: <em>Thor: The Dark World</em>, Reviewed.
1. It's funny how many of the Avengers are stiffs. Sure, Iron Man is all wry and meta, and The Hulk, particularly as played by Mark Ruffalo, has genuine pathos and pain, along with a dark sense of humor about his whole predicament. Then there are the rest of them. Captain America is a cheesy dope w...

That Is One Mighty Looking Sandwich
Here's a Foodspin reader offering up this monstrosity as a notable foodstuff of the state of New Jersey. It goes by the name "Sloppy Joe," although I think most people will find that it has precious little in common with the disreputable but delicious brick-colored-beef-slop-on-a-bun usually associ...
Can You Ride A Bike In The City Without Being An Asshole? (No.)
Maybe I'm in the wrong but I get annoyed whenever I'm walking in the park and I hear, at my back, a bicycle bell. The call of "On your left!" also gets on my nerves. My fight instinct kicks in, and I have to force myself not to punch the bicyclist soon to go by. A single jab would do it....

Oh Yeah, Andre Iguodala Also Made A Ludicrous Pass Last Night
Yeah, 55-foot alley-oops are pretty cool, but so are behind-the-back passes from the corner that lead to an easy layup. Be sure to catch Iguodala's facial expression as he runs back on defense. Not even he can believe that shit actually worked. ...
James Harden Really Didn't Feel Like Playing Defense Last Night
The Houston Rockets surrendered 137 points to the Los Angeles Clippers last night. The Clippers' high-powered offense is mostly responsible for that staggering point total, but it's also very hard to stop teams from scoring when your shooting guard is playing perimeter defense like this. ...
