Boston's MBTA complex fell apart this winter, when 110.6 inches of snow illuminated how my city's subway system (the oldest in America) is also one of the most decrepit in the country, with entire lines shutting down for days at a time due to mechanical failures. New Yorkers endlessly whine about the subway and the…

This is the quintessential Luis Suárez goal. Finding himself stranded alone deep into PSG territory, he sees the three defenders between him and the goal and thinks, "Hm, how about I just bang my way through them all and score?"
The Toronto Blue Jays opened this season on a brand new artificial turf at the Rogers Centre. Even though the Jays are just two home games into the regular season, there has been a lot of talk from players and coaches about the ball bouncing abnormally on the new surface, and the league has apparently taken notice.
Fast forward to the 21st century, and 75 percent of all men's underwear is now bought by men. "They're no longer just accepting what was bought for them, but they are actually making choices," Cohen said. - International Business Times
BET's now-defunct Rap City debuted in 1989 and lasted until 2008, making it the longest-running hip-hop TV show of all time. In its prime, the show was a perfect vehicle for rappers on the come-up and those who were already there. Recently, I talked to former host Darian "Big Tigger" Morgan about what made…
