Ranking Subway’s Athlete Roster from Worst to First
When they aren’t having adults speak like children, or promoting avocados like they are extinct, Subway has some pretty awful commercials. Despite that fact, they have a very impressible roster of professional athletes. Subway claims to be the “official training restaurant” of said sports’ stars… which sounds like a load of crap, but who are we to argue? Outside of the major athletic gear companies, you’d be hard pressed to find another company that boasts as much talent as Subway. I wanted to rank them by their acting performances, but the commercials are so bad, they don’t really provide anyone the opportunity to shine, so lets rank em by their athletic accomplishments for no reason.*

Why Dwight Howard Has Played His Last Game With The Lakers
The postseason is over for one of the most disappointing Los Angeles Laker teams in history. At the center of it is Dwight Howard. Los Angeles was the focal point for what was probably the only interesting storyline at the end of the regular season, but the all the air left the tires once the post-season started. The Lakers made us all believe in a dream, then they splashed the water on our faces and woke us up. The biggest question of the Lakers off-season is the same one as last year. Will Dwight Howard wear the purple and gold next year?

The Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t made it to the NHL Playoffs in nine years, so when they went into the third period of game 7 against the Boston Bruins, with a two goal lead and 90 seconds lwft, the fans partying on the streets of Toronto had a lot to cheer about.

Vampire Weekend: Modern Vampires of the City
It’s been five years since the prep-school quartet debuted “Oxford Comma,” “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” and “A-Punk” and the progression and maturity of their sound has aged nicely. The band still sound as distinct as ever, but with a more calculated approach to their music. Frontman, Ezra Koenig’s whimsical, fluttery voice has remained a staple anchor, as has the rollercoaster of dry, slow tracks and fast, vibrant rainbow music, that fits so well for a summer release date. “Unbelievers” takes reign as the up-beat track that reels you in with a wistful relief VW’s audience has been lacking since their last LP, Contra. It’s impactful, in a slow jam driven album. “Step” is another sleeper pick (pun intended), placed strategically after “Unbelievers” and before catchy single “Diane Young”, slows things down, but manages to keep your attention with a deep, embracing hook. Vampire Weekend has survived the test of time, sticking to their guns, all the while being embraced by their loyal and new following, as well as (it seems like) every other auto commercial. The band has fully matured and created a nostalgic signature sound we look forward to hearing every couple of years. Now playing on rooftops across your local city.

First Look At Minnesota Vikings’ New Stadium Design
At the end of the 2013 football season the Minnesota Vikings will vacate the 31-year-old Metrodome and play outside at the University of Minnesota’s TCF Bank Stadium for two years while the new venue is under construction. Two years of hard time outdoors will pay off for fans as the team will move back indoors in 2016. From the look of the new 65,000-seat building, though, they’ll feel a little like they’re playing in the elements, albeit with a controlled climate and protection from the rain, wind and snow. Opening the roof over the new home of the Minnesota Vikings would have forced planners of the $975 million project to eliminate some of the fancy features. So the team, the public agency in charge of the stadium and the architects designing it literally saw the light. The yet-to-be-named multi-purpose facility will have a translucent roof and moveable front windows. “Clear is the new retractable,” designer Bryan Trubey said of the mock-up for Minnesota’s new, glass-centric indoor stadium.The steeply pitched roof will let natural light stream in, making the covered, glass-centric stadium seem more like it’s outside. Trubey said the covering will be the world’s largest transparent roof.
