"Celebrity Jeopardy was about hope." This is easily my new favorite tweet.

For some reason seeing that Dre is now 50 made me think "Wait, then how old is Kool Herc?", so I looked it up. He turns 60 in two months. The man who literally invented hip hop is about to be 60. I can't wrap my head around this.

Which fans are worst: the ones who think they'd catch 90% of routine MLB fly balls, or the ones who think they'd shoot 90% from the free throw line in the NBA?

Great win for West Virginia, but why are fans rushing the court? Your team is ranked! There is no reason for fans of a ranked team to rush the court after a win, unless it's against an undefeated #1 team like Kentucky, the type of squad that people legitimately think might run the table.

Man, I completely forgot about this. "Aka Cocaine Biceps" just made me laugh as hard as it did four years ago.

Alicia didn't dump The Thing for Johnny Storm. That was actually a Skrull (named Lyja) pretending to be Alicia in order to infiltrate the team and help the Skrull's take down the Fantastic Four. When they eventually figured this out, the FF went to the Skrull homeworld and saved the real Alicia, who immediately went

If DeMarcus Cousins said "bullshit" on live TV, it would just reinforce Barkley's irrational hatred of him.

My favorite sci-fi writer is Octavia Butler. Last year I decided to revisit some of my favorite Butler novels, which meant regularly reading them on the subway. Holy shit, did that get me a lot of attention from women. I can't stress enough the extent to which I did not expect that to happen.

Side note: Amy Schumer is the shit. I'm actually considering going to see a romantic comedy, which pretty much never happens.

Amy Schumer is the shit, and I think LeBron James will be amusing in a "he's a ridiculously awkward actor but it's weirdly endearing" kind of way, but — and I know I'm in the minority here — I just don't get Bill Hader's appeal. I've never laughed at anything he's done, even when he's surrounded by funny people.

I saw the headline and I was really curious. Then I clicked on the article, saw Linkin Park, and actually laughed out loud. But once you get past that, there's some good stuff here.

As awful as Chuck is now, they could do so much to fix this show if they just got rid of Shaq and brought in Chris Webber.

When Stewart took his sabbatical to go make Rosewater, I remember thinking "He's done at The Daily Show. He'll be there another year, tops." It was obvious he was getting restless, and I'm glad he's stepping down before it has a negative effect on the show. Leave while you're still great.

Brian "Hispanic players need to learn to Respect The Game" McCann. Guys like McCann, who are hellbent on convincing everyone that baseball players shouldn't be allowed to have fun, are doing more to hurt the popularity of the game than pace of play every could.

Shields is going from the best defensive outfield in the majors last year to what will almost certainly be the worst defensive outfield in the majors this year. He's going to be clinically depressed by June.

I think he's just mad that 50 Shades is getting so much more attention than Secretary did.
