Nothing Is Out Of Bounds For Jimmy Butler
Chicago's Jimmy Butler dove for a loose ball and saved it for his team, but at the expense of falling into the stands. The other nine players ran down the court while Butler, trapped by a row of fans in seats, ran through the aisle and jumped over an empty seat to stop the offensive 4-on-5. The litt...
Did MLB Rig Its Own Stupid Contest?
It is very unlikely that you weren't at least peripherally aware of MLB Network's irritating, interminable, "Face of MLB" contest, a bracket-style competition where fans voted on Twitter for a meaningless award.

Let's Go To The Movies
I thought of the old New Yorker theater the other day because it is where my brother and I saw Tron. Our old man dropped us off outside the theater and we asked some grown ups to get us in. Later, I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show there. This was well past the theater's prime, but I am fortunate e...
The Case For New York City As Greatest City In The World
There was some rumor going around about a Space Jam sequel last week starring LeBron James. Now, I hated that movie. I didn't even like it in the ironic way that some people like it because it was badly acted or whatever. But anyway, the guy who directed Space Jam was a legendary ad director name...

Is Time For Give NFL, NBA, MLB, And NHL Medals, Olympic-Style
Even though our gaze has drifted back home after being fixed out in Sochi for so long, we still have Olympics on the brain.
