Johnny Manziel Giving Zero Fucks About Film Study Makes It Even Funnier That He More Or Less Ruined Two Big-Name Coaches' Careers

Johnny Manziel is a classic case of self-sabotage and self-destruction. He embraced his Johnny Fuckin' Football, hard-partying lifestyle to the fullest at the cost of professional excellence. Johnny behaved how I believe most typical college kids would. He just couldn’t say no to all the fame and attention. Especially at that age. We’ve had a lot of Johnny Football blogs lately. Had to plug Kayce Smith’s at the top, because she crushed that thing....

Kids These Days Don't Understand How Famous Dane Cook Used To Be

This only makes sense. We live in the age of Twitter and TikTok. A 30-second clip from a podcast nowadays could make or break a comedian’s career. Still, Dane Cook was a pioneer in all of this. I have no idea why, but I found myself thinking about Dane Cook this week. I want you to think of who you believe is the most famous comedian in the world right now....

A Director Quit Doing A Documentary On Lizzo Because She Claims "She's A Narcissistic Bully, Who Built Her Entire Brand Off Lies"

“Notice how the documentary ended up being directed by a cis white man.” “I stand with the dancers and anyone who has had similar experiences working with her and her team. These working conditions are not ok.” It’s bad bitch o’clock, am I right? Whoa, nelly what a takedown. I don’t think the best PR Firm in the world could spin this one.

EU to hold back on China tech investment ban — for now

The UK governmentstated early on Wednesdaythat the decision provided clarity on the approach of its close ally. Meanwhile, the European Union was only marginally less ambiguous in its response. Later in the afternoon, the Commission said that it was in close contact with the White House. However, there was no indication that the bloc was looking to emulate the same measures any time soon.

Random Observations from Patriots Preseason Game 3 vs. the Texans

Ah, the simple joys of preseason fauxball are back. The I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter of sports. The decaf, low calorie, polyunsaturated, non-dairy, gluten-free, non-GMO, no-sugar-added substitute for actual football. And for us simple New England folk, it can’t have come at a better time. So take all this with that in mind. (Note: It better not. Or else we’re all just wasting our time here.) You’ve got to look at this like a Bob Ross painting early on in the episode....

Seeing Video Of Lines On The Eve Of The PlayStation 2 Dropping Back In 2000 Will Give You All The Feels and Make You Long For Those Simpler Times

This video popped up on my timeline last night and damn it man. How was this 23 years ago? It feels like just yesterday. I want those simpler times back. Think about how great we had it back then. We werent at war yet. 9/11 wasnt even imaginable. The economy was booming. Hip hop was enjoying its golden years. Awesome movies were still coming out on a monthly basis. The Yankees dynasty was in full swing, and the Patriots was just about to begin....

The NBA Christmas Day Slate Is Out And It's Damn Near Perfect

When the NBA released their Opening Night lineup, that was more than enough to get the blood pumping. Two drama filled games with real beef between the two sides will always play in my mind. That alone had me already counting down the days until October 25th. That idea was confirmed for me the second I saw Shams' tweet about our Christmas Day slate. I mean, if that’s not perfection, it’s pretty damn close....

There Is Now A (Makeshift) Plaque On The Kinzie St Bridge In Chicago, Commemorating The Time Dave Matthews Band's Tour Bus Dumped 800 lbs Of Shit On A Tourist Boat Cruise

If that scum Lori, I mean Brandon, has his cronies take this down, then we riot. For those of you wondering what the fuck this plaque is commemorating, welcome to Earth. How is life out from under your rock? The scene:The West Bank Of The Chicago River....

Fasoli is a Crazy Person

We’ve done these investigations twice now. First we went to New Orleans to stalk Ben Mintz for a couple of days. Then most recently we went to Nashville to “investigate” Bussin' With The Boys. He’s very good at his job, and he’s the perfect person to work with me. There a lot of footage we never would have gotten if he hadn’t pushed me to do so. I thought that was rude....
