Frequent worrier and pop culture aficionado Shoshanna from Girls (or at least her photoshopped face) has taken over the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in “Shoshi Games 2014.” Yoooou’re welcome.     View the full gallery at shoshigames.tumblr.com.Read More

The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi are under way, with gold medals and cultural misunderstandings a-flying. While these games have been off to a more… bizarre… start than others, they have fulfilled the usual requirements for the Olympics: weird Opening Ceremony outfits, civil rights breaches, and half-naked athletes. They also are the first games since The Hunger Games franchise has taken off, with two of three books converted into absurdly popular movies and a third on the way. As I watch the Sochi Olympics over a glass (read: bottle orRead More

There are two reasons to watch the Olympics this year: 1) the events, and 2) the gorgeous athletes.

Plus, for those who use social media we’ve included links to these lovely ladies’ pages, so that you can followRead More

Now that the 2014 Olympics are in full-swing, you might have some decisions to make.

That was SO badass!” Ain’t nobody gotRead More

Hosting the Olympics is like the real world equivalent of running for Senior Class President in high school. You’re put under the magnifying glass and just asking to be critiqued and ridiculed. Everything you do is being translated to people of very different backgrounds. And every once in a while, there’s a slim chance that you might just be epically successful. Key words: slim chance. The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi are not off to a great start in their bid for epic success. Even before the games began thisRead More

It’s that time again, when multiple American sporting events collide to make February ‘National Sports Patriotism Month’ (that’s my phrase, consider it copy written). Allow me to break down the national contests YOU should know about…   1/31-2/2 DAVIS CUP TENNIS: USA VS GREAT BRITAIN Normally I wouldn’t include this event as being something you should check out, since I am the only one in America who ever watches Davis Cup (usually by myself, in a dark room). But these are pretty special circumstances. For the first time in tennisRead More

Happy Wednesday, bros. Here’s a smokin’ snowbunny from Switzerland, who you’ll probably see on the podium next month. Meet Olympian Lara Gut.   -Lara Gut- Twitter: @laragut Website: www.laragut.ch Known for: Being a badass Olympic athlete. -Lara Gut is every reason you need to watch Alpine Skiing in the Sochi Olympics this February. Her flying down the mountain at 80 mph on skis is the first reason. Her in a spandex speed suit is a very close second. With Lindsey Vonn out for the Games, Lara is not just theRead More
