The Canadiens' Automated Twitter Promotion Has Gone Horribly Awry
I thought we’d already learned our lesson here. Just like the New England Patriots, the Montreal Canadiens decided to celebrate reaching one million followers on Twitter by creating custom avatar jerseys with Twitter handles. But the Canadiens were so lazy that they didn’t even bother to filter out ...
Carlos Tévez Breaks Goalkeeper's Jaw With A Flying Knee To The Face
Now this isn’t as bad as the last time we saw Carlos Tévez breaking bones on a soccer pitch, seeing as that shin-snapper was on account of a horrible and late tackle while this jaw-smasher looks like a complete accident, but this is a streak Tévez probably doesn’t want to extend.

Dimitri Payet Is Still An Animal
This isn’t even a dedicated Dimitri Payet individual highlight video and yet it’s still composed almost entirely of West Ham’s superstud going all best mode all over Blackburn in the FA Cup this weekend. And that’s because any time the Hammers do something cool, you can bet Payet will be at the cent...

Kanye West's "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" Has Inspired A Good Meme
Most memes are bad, but some memes are very good. This one, which is based on the very true idea that the beat drop from Kanye West’s “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1” can improve any video, is a good meme....
Imagine Being One Of The 1,600 People Who Didn't Realize They Were On The Gronk Cruise
There is a lot of debate in media circles over the use, and over-use, of unnamed sources—when it’s appropriate to grant anonymity, how it affects a story’s credibility, and how best to weigh access with accountability. This, from the Boston Globe’s account of Rob Gronkowski’s party cruise, justifies...

The Best Track On Kanye West's <i>The Life Of Pablo </i>Is Also, Somehow, The Worst
What the world needs now is a great Kanye West song: no less and please, God, no more. Enough with the delays, the obfuscations, the feuds, the amusing tantrums misidentified as unhinged rants, the legit unmisidentifiable social-media disasters. It’s exhausting. He’s exhausting. We’re exhausted. To ...

DeMarcus Cousins Has The Quote Of All-Star Weekend
DeMarcus Cousins has an ugly game. He’s a pouting tornado of elbows and snarls, who tramples over opponents instead of going over or around them. He looks so mad on the court, so the second-time all-star is no doubt enjoying his time up in Toronto away from the Sacramento Kings Circus....
