It started with the coronavirus. The sweeping pandemic, which has put millions of Americans out of work and threatened the lifelines of many of our favorite independent retailers, was already a lot for a business owner to be faced with. The government-sanctioned virus lockdowns spelled a drop-off in revenue for countless stores, a problem which […]
America’s favorite team representing America’s favorite past time. The New York Yankees have characterized a lot of things that people, American and overseas, have long associated with the U.S.’s superior athletes. Celebrity. Success. Greed. Capitalism. Scandal. However, the cultural impact the Yankees have is unmatched in all of sports. And if that impact had one symbolic […]
With little else going on in the world of sports, predicting that The Last Dance would be a massive ratings hit was a layup. A record-setting audience tuned into ESPN for the first two episodes of the 10-part docuseries when it debuted last weekend. Chances are almost everybody returned for more Sunday night. The drama that unfolded in the […]
After months of mock drafts, trade rumors, and speculation about team-player fits, the 2020 NFL Draft is in the books.

You got to escape into the usual routine of analyzing teams’ selections of top college players, […]

The fate of live rap shows and local venues is unknown due to the current pandemic, but that hasn’t stopped the music industry from searching for new ways to fill the void. Many artists have flocked to Instagram Live for the successful Versuz battles or acoustic performances, but others, like Travis Scott, are thinking outside […]
“But really I would rather be at home all by myself,” Alessia Cara belted on her breakthrough single, 2015’s anti-social anthem “Here.” Well. Funny how things work out. With the global community in coronavirus-prompted hermit mode, it’s safe to say the Canadian pop singer won’t need to worry about getting stuck at lame parties anytime soon. […]
Nemesis, the massive, bio-engineered monstrosity at the center of 1999’s Resident Evil 3, was notoriously tough, especially compared to his zombie compatriots. He ran at you, for starters. He had a rocket launcher, and he knew how to use it. And he was unkillable for most of the game. You could stop him temporarily. But […]
