TV. Food. Pop Culture.
The playoff games this weekend were a bit hit and miss, with the NFC providing little by way of thrills. The AFC, however, brought the big guns, and it all culminated in an exciting, intense showdown between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. It only takes one look at the dejected state …

We are in the thick of NFL playoffs, and with an epic Jets vs. Patriots showdown just around the corner, players from both teams are mouthing off. Getting the ball rolling was Antonio Cromartie of the Jets who accused Patriots QB Tom Brady of being an “asshole.” Why? He cited Tom’s questionable sportsmanship when he …
“That’s pretty cool.” You know, these crazy basketball videos always surface every few months: some kid in a high school (it’s always high school) makes a crazy shot at the buzz, and wouldn’t you know it? It goes in! After the jump is the latest video, and to quote Vanessa Bayer’s Miley Cyrus, “That’s pretty …

Sadly, Paul was not long for …

Doctors put the athlete in a medically induced coma after he lost control of his bike during an event in Las Vegas. For more information, click …
I know there’s money in NFL betting, but I’m starting to think gambling on the next celebrity cell phone scandal is where the future is. Brett Favre is the latest yutz to wind up in a dumb yet hilarious scandal involving voicemails (allegedly), and while his messages aren’t nearly as horrifying as Mel Gibson’s nor …
Who doesn’t love looking at naked athletes? Thankfully, ESPN Magazine has this nifty thing called “The Body Issue,” which basically strips down some of our favorite (or at least most curvy and chiseled) sports stars and presents them artfully (re: safe for work) nude. Check out some of the pics here (it’s worth it): Socialite …
I love stupid athletes. In a city that has arguably some of the best public transportation in the world, Jets wide receiver / professional punk Braylon Edwards got himself drunk and arrested with a boozy .19 blood alcohol level. That’s more than twice the legal limit. No surprise here: Braylon found himself in jail. The …

I think it’s safe to say that I am not a particularly strong or flexible person, which is why yoga may not be a perfect fit for me (check out my first time here). Nevertheless, that didn’t stop my friend Meeshie from trying to teach me a move called “Crow.” She videotaped my pitiful attempt, …
