<i>Person Of Interest</i> Was Anti-Prestige TV And Too Smart For Primetime

Rudy Gay To George Karl: "Welcome To Basketball Hell"
The Sacramento Kings, a failed state of an NBA team run by a clueless owner, will be bad this year, despite internal expectations that they’ll make the playoffs.

HBO’s Westworld is draped with the trappings of the horror, action adventure, and Western genres, but it’s best understood as a mystery.

The Colts Ended A Dumb Streak In A Dumb Way
Who was the last Indianapolis Colts player to have at least 100 rushing yards in one game? Just kidding, there’s absolutely no reason to know that, but it was Vick Ballard in Week 15 of the 2012 season. Last night, Frank Gore finally snapped the streak. Then unsnapped it. Then resnapped it....
