This Day in Philadelphia Eagles Tragicomedy
Clay Harbor, for whatever reason, does not have Wi-Fi. According to Robert Griffin III, Andy Reid met with him at the NFL Scouting Combine back in February and expressed interest in drafting him, which must be music to Michael Vick’s ears, assuming he can hear the music over the ringing bells, since his concussion (suffered […]

About the Previous Evening: Lakers Lose, Spartans Win, and All the Marlins Get Traded
Pretty much every morning, About Last Night provides you with the essential sports headlines that you need to know. This is not one of those mornings. The Spurs defeated the Lakers last night, 84-82.

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Homeland, The Walking Dead, and New Music From Big Boi

Nick Young Is Trying to Kill Me
On November 4, in New York, the Sixers lost to the Knicks, 100-84. Nick Young played 32 minutes, scored five points on 2-10 shooting, and had a plus/minus of -29. Minus. Twenty-nine. That’s when it hit me: This is happening. Nick Young isn’t on Twitter or in photos or video lowlights. He’s on the Sixers. […]

Jonas Valanciunas Gets Yammed On by Kevin Durant, Delivers Bond Villain Quote
Welcome. To. The. League. Jonas! “I was mad … It happened. Maybe next time it will be opposite.” I think, in basketball terms, this is known as ordering the cold borscht.

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Skyfall, The Walking Dead, and Homeland
It’s Election Day in America, and Chris and I are feeling shaken and stirred. So of course we turned our minds to the only logical subject: James Bond. To celebrate this Friday’s release of Skyfall — a movie neither of us has seen — we did a deep dive into a bucket of martinis, discussing […]
