Who Won the Super Bowl Today?
Easy. Niners. Because Vernon Davis apparently has an interior design company. My favorite things about Vernon Davis’s design company’s website: Davis and partner Antone Barnes (Davis is CEO, Barnes is COO) push “ENTER” together during the Flash intro; the idea that they convinced Sean Smith to buy a piece of art is a selling point; […]

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars, The Americans, and The Office
Sometimes Chris Ryan and I talk about TV on the ol’ Hollywood Prospectus podcast. Other times we talk about movies. But this time we decided to talk about both — at once. Inspired by a fun question in last week’s mailbag, Chris and I discussed the long-standing tradition of adapting films from the big screen […]

What Other Performance-Enhancing Wild Animals Have the Ravens Been Ingesting?
Sports Illustrated is reporting that Ray Lewis took deer-antler pills to more quickly heal his torn triceps. Shortly after his injury occurred, this past October, the Ravens linebacker allegedly contacted a company called S.W.A.T.S. and got on a totally normal rehab program of hologram stickers, regenerative light therapy, negatively charged water, the aforementioned deer-antler pills, […]

Who Won the Super Bowl Today?
On Sunday a Beyoncé performance will be bookended by a football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.

Injury reports will be investigated like […]

We Went There: Thunder-Clippers
Kevin Durant is now method branding. You may be familiar with this new “KD IS NOT NICE,” or (“#KDISNOTNICE” for my Twitterati) Nike campaign. I can’t claim to call this one for the chicken or the egg (was he always not nice or is he being not nice because Phil Knight says so), but this […]

Christian Slater Sang ‘The Heat Is On’ at a Miami Heat Charity Karaoke Night
My man was in Heathers. Respect him. You can see a bunch of other photos of the “Battioke Night” — a benefit for the Take Charge Foundation (how perfect is it that Shane Battier named his foundation “Take Charge”?) — over at HoopsHype. They include some really fantastic shots of Pat Riley, who, to the […]

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Broken City, The Following, and A$AP Rocky
There were titanic football games, the Presidential Inauguration, and a much-needed federal holiday. So how did Chris Ryan spend his weekend? Being one of the few Barry Pepper diehards to brave the loneliness of the multiplex to see the DOA Broken City. This brazen act seemed so noteworthy that we had to address it immediately […]

That Was a Goal: The Premier League Weekend in Five Goals
The story of the Premier League this weekend, told in five goals. Get some. Jordan Henderson We all know about The Kobe Assist. I’m starting to wonder if there’s such a thing as the Suarez Assist. This happens when Liverpool forward Luis Suarez drops his head and tries to dribble through three or four defenders […]
