    The dilemma with the Carolina offense isn’t Cam Newton — it’s everyone but Cam Newton.

  • Afternoon Links: Tobey Maguire Will Now Star in Something Utterly Unmissable

    The Spoils of Babylon isn’t coming to IFC for another three months, so we’ve got a while to ponder this brazenly mysterious trailer. Is it There Will Be Blood meets The Royal Tenenbaums? Casino meets Walk Hard? The family saga about amorous siblings (Kristen Wiig and Tobey Maguire) comes from Will Ferrell and Casa de […]

    Week 6 Fantasy Football Preview: Cam Can, and Damn It, So Can You

    Before we talk about the upcoming slate of games and their fantasy implications, a quick note of mourning: HOYER THE DESTROYER is dead. Long live HOYER THE DESTROYER. From a fantasy standpoint, Brian Hoyer’s torn ACL slightly decreases the value of Jordan Cameron and Josh Gordon, because Brandon Weeden is Pete Wheeler from Backyard Sports […]

    Grantland Q&A: Jimmy Kimmel Talks About His Beef-Ending Conversation With Kanye West

    Last night Kanye West sat down with Jimmy Kimmel for a fence-mending interview, although “interview” is probably the wrong word.

    You Can Dig It: Minecraft Pocket Edition, Terraria, and SteamWorld Dig

    You’d think by now video games would have more verbs. We have blockbusters where a single button will make you, alternately, dodge a bullet, scale a cliff, garrote a guard, and generally perform all manner of badassery. Or multiple buttons might be strung together to form a quick-time event, a kind of Simon Says for […]

    19-Day NBA Warning: Do You Believe in the Magic?

    Twelve months ago, I got a divorce from the New York Knicks. It had been 30 years. Too much James Dolan, not enough Charles Oakley. Single for the first time, I had a dalliance with an easy target, the rebuilding Denver Nuggets. Low stakes, high fun, JaVale for laughs, Gallinari for joy. It was easy, […]

    The Only Venn Diagram You Need to Understand the 2013 AMA Nominations

    Award shows still happen. And they still give out awards at these award shows. And unfortunately, they continue to dictate how the populace interprets and categorizes music. One of those shows is the American Music Awards, and its list of nominees were announced this morning. Here’s what I learned about American music:
