LeBron James Is Underpaid (via CableTV)

Ever wonder about the exact depth of LeBron James’ attempted murder in Cleveland, pre-Irving? Of course you do. It occupies the space in our minds next to the ‘Do I Still Like Tiger Woods?’ tissue. Our friends at CableTV.com have the answer.                           [...]

2013 NFL Draft Predictions

The following was written by long-time friend and even longer-time Raider Hater, Steve Prager. We once saw the Broncos play against, and lose to, the quarterback tandem of JaMarcus Russell and Charlie Frye at home. That probably has something to do with the NFL draft and busts, or whatever, but mostly I wanted to remember [...]

The Steroid Hate

It’s a bad sign for sports that this article could have been written five years ago with the same complaints. Namely: are we ever going to use the groundbreaking technology at our disposal, or are we going to meekly refer to the players’ ever-dwindling rights to privacy? But this isn’t an essay about inaction on [...]

The following is a promoted advertisement written by a third party. O2LSports did not write the article. Protect Your Dome and See Danger Coming Snowboarding is popular because it is fast-moving, exhilarating and full of constantly changing courses and potential obstacles around every hill or corner. It’s that same lurking danger, like hidden rocks and [...]

Suitable Alternatives to Gary Bettman

As the NHL lockout wears on, the vitriol continues to seep down from Canada until even the United States cannot help but notice the bad juju. Even in the company of David ‘My Way or Highway’ Stern and Roger ‘Zero Fucks Given About Player Safety Slash The Fans’ Goodell, Bettman looks bad. And he is [...]

Does America Have the Balls to Revolt?

09 June 2013

The sign of a presidency turned sour: I thought about writing an article called The Top 10 Worst Presidential Terms – a more fascinating argument than Worst Presidents, as our opinions of those men are predicated upon the administrations that sandwiched theirs – but I didn’t write that article, yet, because I’m reasonably confident the [...]

The 5 Strangest Uses of Shakespeare in Pop Culture

08 May 2013

As you may have guessed from the title, this was originally going to be an article for Cracked. However, their process for new submissions resembles a Mesozoic tar pit crossed with the bureaucracy of a DMV in Detroit. To their credit, a lot of those dinosaurs probably had it coming, licenses are issued, and daily [...]

Review of One Year Lived (with Free Copy Inside)

16 April 2013

I have a few certainties in life: Everyone likes The Beatles and everyone has a friend who pretends they’re just OK.  The NBA was rigged from the very late 1990s to the early 2000s. Jordan left basketball because of gambling. Michael Jackson was innocent. Bush didn’t knock down the Towers. Our cable news will never [...]

An Open Letter to TV Executives Regarding Abandonment

30 March 2013

Dear ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS and Every Exec of Real Import (Sorry SyFy), Speaking as someone who has mostly unsubstantiated opinions and relies heavily on the Chinese for work (I just happen to live there, in this case), I believe I fit the bill for all target demographics. Gay, straight, old, fat, young, male, [...]

The Problems With Present Tense

19 March 2013

Rules for writing seem counter-intuitive, if you really think about them. The best writing seeks to live within these rules, for the sake of others actually engaging with the text, and yet prose of the highest level should feel like it is escaping its own constraints. High school teachers are perpetually employed under the dictum [...]

Explaining Meta-Culture

22 February 2013

30 Rock recently completed its swan song in a season that matched Ray Lewis’s in every respect and overshadowed anything Daniel “Women Aren’t Funny Now Let’s Watch YouTube” Tosh will ever do one-hundredfold. True, we lost a lot as the lights dimmed on a great show and the trainwreck that featured the Fart Doctor, respectively. [...]
