    Grantland Reality TV Fantasy League: Love, Loss, and Legitimately Terrifying Insect Bites

    I was worried there wouldn’t be enough meat on the GRTFL bone with only Survivor in the rotation, but I was wrong. This week, Survivor gave us Zen mountaintop yoga, hellish attacking insects, and the revelation that Brad “Not Daunte” Culpepper is a lawyer. In real life. But before we get to all of that, […]

    The World Will Never Stop Paying Tribute to Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward, Nor Should It

    Provided clinch-happy heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko isn’t involved, it’s rare that the lasting image from a boxing match is that of a hug. But a hug is precisely what I picture when the subject of the third and final fight between Arturo Gatti and Micky Ward comes up. Over a period of 13 months they […]

    Ryan Murphy, TV’s Most Low-Attention-Span Producer, Sets an End Date for Glee

    Coming off of its tear-jerking tribute episode to deceased lead actor Cory Monteith, Ryan Murphy announced this week that Glee’s next season will be its last.

    Tigers Leave Too Many Opportunities on the Table

    The Red Sox won a nail-biter Thursday, topping the Tigers, 4-3, and moving to within one game of claiming the American League pennant. In a game that featured a few spectacular plays, it was the handful of squandered opportunities that stood out most of all. The Tigers failed to recognize Miguel Cabrera’s injuries. That hurt […]

    Maybe Donald Glover Is Having a Harder Time Than We Realized

    Earlier this week, Donald Glover took to Residence Inn stationery to vent seven pages worth of capital-letter concerns, dumping them all on Instagram and giving the Internet plenty to work with. The messages lean in a naked, melancholy direction, with sentiments like, “I got really lost last year,” “I feel like I’m letting everyone down,” […]

    About Last Night: Happy to Be Napoli

    In case you were busy frantically shorting Arian Foster futures, here’s what you missed in sports on Thursday: Mike Napoli hit a monster home run as the Boston Red Sox got to Anibal Sanchez and beat the Tigers, 4-3, to take a 3-2 ALCS lead back to Fenway Park. When asked how big a moment […]

  • Afternoon Links: Paranormal Activity’s Latino Spin-off Will Ring in the New Year

    Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones is Paramount’s bid to expand its low-cost/high-yield franchise while appealing specifically to the Latino market, and maybe, from the looks of this first trailer, refreshing some of the series’ original verve in the process. It’s the sophomore directing effort for Christopher Landon, who wrote the last three Paranormals as well […]

    Pusha T Conquers the One Problem That Has Kept Him From Becoming a Star

    In the 11 years that I’ve been faithfully listening to Pusha T, not once did I think he’d ever become one of our brightest stars. There have been glimpses of it for a long time — many of which have contributed to his lengthy career — but I never thought they’d be anything beyond that. […]
