How a Women's Libido Pill Could Actually Save Monogamy

Lindy West — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:45:00 GMT

Despite the fact that all I want in life is a daemon familiar and a wand and a sarcastic dappled mare who really gets me and violet eyes and a tower, in actuality I'm forever harping on the fact that magic isn't real. There are no magic Spanx that will turn you into Cindy Crawford. There is no magic begoggled top hat that will transport you out of the "friend zone," and there is no magic vision board that will manifest a sarcastic talking Lamborghini (that really gets you!) in your driveway while you sleep. It's just not real. Nothing is easy and nothing is free. But...what if it was? Not magic, precisely, but a workaround—a shortcut from one side of one of life's seemingly insurmountable challenges to the other. What if you could take a pill and fix your broken relationship?

How Not To Defend Sergio Garcia: Say He Has Lots Of "Colored" Friends

Sergio Garcia made a fried chicken joke about Tiger Woods. Some people were offended. Others weren't. Garcia apologized. The head of the European Tour, in an attempt to put this to bed, declared that "most of Sergio’s friends are colored athletes." Here we go again.

Paul George Is The Star Who'll Save The Pacers From Paul George

Tom Ley — Thu, 23 May 2013 17:30:00 GMT

Last night's Eastern Conference final opener between the Heat and Pacers was a story of two buzzer-beaters, and all the fun of the game lay in the difference between the two. First came Paul George's cockeyed overtime-forcing three-pointer, which was shot from a range that would make even J.R. Smith say, "Nah, dude. I'm cool." Then there was LeBron James's quick and merciless game-winning drive to the basket, a knife-flick of a move that mostly just left everyone wondering where the hell Roy Hibbert was. James's layup was the game-winner, but it was George's deep three that introduced a little bughouse spirit to the series.

The Cincinnati Baseball Team Gives The Best Postgame Interviews

Tom Ley — Thu, 23 May 2013 17:15:00 GMT

Postgame interviews are inherently dumb and almost never interesting. But not when they involve the Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team, which has turned the tired practice into a platform for wonderful comedic expression. Enjoy this compilation of the Bearcats being awesome. It really is the best thing.
