Kirk Cousins Was Not Impressed by RG3’s Flash Impersonation
Ted, a Grantland reader and great American from Denver, writes: “Watch that RG3 run again, and check out the Skins’ sideline. Was Kirk Cousins the least excited person on earth on this play? Watch the video, he never moved from that stance the entire play, even as RG3 is running right past him (as you […]

This Is the End, Beautiful Friend: Time and Apologies and Andy Reid
Chris Ryan: Andy, we now interrupt our decade-long reenactment of the gas station scene from No Country for Old Men — wherein we are the old man behind the counter and life is played by Javier Bardem, who tells us to call it in the air before it shoots us in the head with a […]

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Argo, Seven Psychopaths, The Walking Dead, and More
On this week’s pod, Andy and I blow the dust off Led Zeppelin IV and exfiltrate our feelings about Ben Affleck’s latest, Argo (1:10). While we both agree that this is one of the better movies of the year, we split beautiful, feathered ’70s hairs over how good. If you want conflict, you’ll love our […]

Let’s Spend Some Time Watching LeBron James Putback Dunks
That happened in Beijing last night, during the Heat’s game against the Clippers. Miami won, 94-80. Two things worth noting in the above video: Norris Cole is apparently going as one of Big Daddy Kane’s backup dancers for Halloween, and LeBron James is awesome at putback dunks. I don’t know that I ever realized how […]

Beijing, Baby!
I just want LeBron James walking in various cities shouting where he is, punctuating it with a “BABAAAY!” at the end. Not even cities. Anywhere. “We at the podiatrist. That’s where we at. THE PODIATRIST, BABAAAY!” (Below, watch the Heat go to China.)

Hollywood Prospectus Podcast: Rick Ross, Homeland, and Controversial Opinions About Anna Kendrick
Chris and I recorded this pod late on Monday afternoon, after a long day of transcribing, power-chugging caffeine, and dispatching snatch teams throughout the Middle East. So it’s somewhat understandably all over the map, starting with Rick Ross’s Black Bar Mitzvah (1:30) and ending with an apocalyptic plague of viral vampires (42:50). In the meantime, […]

Some Questions About Why That Guy Didn’t Free-Fall From Space
Actually, let’s start with a list rather than some questions. We’ll get to the questions. Here’s a list of people who would never dive from space, but if they were in said position, with the entire world watching, would never postpone due to “windiness”: Amerikkka’s Most Wanted–era Ice Cube; Ed Reed and Ray Lewis, holding […]

Some Questions for This Guy About to Free-Fall From Space
Have you seen Apollo 13? Are you DVR’ing Happy Endings? Are you listening to a podcast up there? Jalen or Hollywood Prospectus? What role did drinking Red Bull play in your training? What role did it play in your decision to take a balloon into space and then jump out of the balloon from space? […]
