Every week I stand up in front of kids and we say, and mean, these words.
On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to god and my country and to obey the Scout Law. To help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.

I finally watched the new Superman (I am very busy, ok?) and … I was not expecting it to be a two-hour explainer on E Unibus Pluram that’s perfectly digestible for kids and adults alike.
James Gunn really is a treasure.

Yes, the millionaire NFL superstar and future Hall of Famer who is 6-5, hosts a wildly popular podcast and is dating one of the world’s most famous women (who is a billionaire) has a real masculinity problem. Hard to figure out how he can recover from this.

Injuries in sports can be so cruel. A few years ago Trout was talked about as possibly the most talented baseball player ever with people flatly assuming he’d finish with Mays/Aaron-like numbers.

I love when college sports people try to trash the modern game and its players by explaining that players these day care about … very reasonable things to care about.

I love Steph. But this is one of the dumbest headlines I’ve ever seen.
Steph’s record isn’t even the most unbreakable NBA record by a guy born in Akron, Ohio.
