WrestleMania Moments

WrestleMania Moments

theclassical.org — WrestleMania 29 was the biggest event in the history of the WWE, bringing in $12.3 million in one night for the billion-dollar sports entertainment company. While it's cliche -- and factually inaccurate -- to say that what we got in return was "priceless," it's clear that if you didn't get your money's worth, you were doing it wrong.

Siskel and Ebert Agree That Space Jam Is Perfect

Siskel and Ebert Agree That Space Jam Is Perfect

theclassical.org — Even when reviewing movies as goofy as Space Jam, the exuberance that Roger Ebert had for films of all shapes, sizes and stripes came through in a way familiar to all of us. He taught us to love the things we love, and to do so in a way that will get others to want to join in. So, he always had that going for him, which is nice.

7 Stages of Grief At Bleacher Report University

7 Stages of Grief At Bleacher Report University

theclassical.org — Bleacher Report writers aren't born, they're made. Specifically, they're formed in the crucible of Bleacher Report University, the online program that B/R uses to shape young writers into slideshow shape. It's kind of a depressing place.

Twenty Five (Royal Rumbles)

Twenty Five (Royal Rumbles)

theclassical.org — There have been 25 Royal Rumbles. Nearly every wrestling fan has seen at least one or two, most have seen several, and a special few have seen most. Nick Bond decided to watch all of them. In order. You may call it dumb. Or masochistic. He mostly thought it was fun. And he learned a lot, too. Which is nice.

Hollywood Houdini

Hollywood Houdini

theclassical.org — Saturday's game against Notre Dame was the latest in a long line of disappointments for USC, and more specifically, their woe-be-gotten coach, Lane Kiffin. Whether he's the walking embodiment of the Peter principle, a misunderstood genius or a combination of the two is anybody's guess. All that's for certain is that it's fun to watch the show.

Running From Our Past

Running From Our Past

theclassical.org — Before he could win five Grey Cup championships, two Grey Cup MVPs and the 1983 Canadian Football League MVP, which was before he was able to make nine Pro Bowl rosters or earn three All-Pro selections, which was in turn before he was enshrined in both the CFL and NFL Hall of Fames, Warren Moon had to be black. None of this would have happened without that. So, when he says something about race and sports, we should probably listen.

Finding Comfort in the Enemy

Finding Comfort in the Enemy

theclassical.org — With Derek Jeter on the DL, Mariano River on the IR and the Yankees' World Series hopes on their deathbed, a Red Sox fan should be happier than this. Has the rivalry died or just matured?

Jay Cutler is People

Jay Cutler is People

theclassical.org — After last night's debacle in Green Bay, America was given the opportunity to continue one of its favorite past times: mocking Jay Cutler. But what does that say about us as sports fans, and more importantly, as individuals?

The Branding of Melky Cabrera

The Branding of Melky Cabrera

theclassical.org — Melky Cabrera is not Manny Ramirez, in any number of ways. But the currently disgraced Giants outfielder could learn a lot about what to do, and what not to do, from his similarly free-spirited big league predecessor.
