Sometime in the last month or two, a whole pile of Shaw Brothers kung fu movies suddenly appeared on Netflix. The Shaw Brothers studio started making movies in Hong Kong in the ’20s, but it’s most famous for the incredibly huge catalog it cranked out during the ’70s and early ’80s. At its peak, the ...

Well, That Was The Worst Game Of Elvis Andrus's Life
So much happened in that seventh inning—an inning that took 53 minutes, and even without the glow of morning-after hyperbole, must go down as one of the weirdest, wildest, and most exciting single innings ever played—that its component parts (save The Bat Flip Heard ‘Round The World) may eventually ...
Jose Bautista's Righteous Bat Flip Is The Only Thing That Matters

Child War Is Hell In The Gripping, Important, Only Slightly Disappointing <i>Beasts Of No Nation</i>
Beasts of No Nation is such a worthy, timely, thoughtful drama that the worst you can say about it is that it’s a shame it’s only good and not amazing.

Barcelona Fans Are Losing Their Minds Again
Ever heard of Barcelona’s Álex Grimaldo? No? How about Sergi Samper? That name might ring a bell for vigilant Arsenal transfer rumor watchers, but probably not most others.

As we sift through the rubble of last night’s 3-2 Mexico victory over the USMNT, Jürgen Klinsmann finds himself squarely in the spotlight.

Texas Avenges Their Sick Bovine Mascot, Shocks Oklahoma
The run-in to this week’s rivalry game against Oklahoma did not go well for Texas.
