Eric Trump Just Gave Away His Smartest Trump Kid Award on Fox News
 
It seems like just yesterday we were saying, contrary to the image inserted into the public consciousness by SNL, that Eric Trump might actually be the smart one. Ah, it was yesterday. The time dilation of our peculiar historical moment keeps spinning away, and so, too, do the various offspring and associates of our ruling family. The Other Brother took to the hallowed ground of political discourse known as Fox & Friends this Thursday morning, and his appearance illustrated an essential element of the Fox News experience.

The Game of Thrones Trailer Teased a Huge Problem for Jon and Dany
 
The new trailer for Game of Thrones Season Eight has one brief scene showing a fleet of Greyjoy ships filled with Golden Company soldiers sailing toward Westeros. It's an ominous scene, because in Season Seven Cersei Lannister sent Euron Greyjoy to Essos to recruit the Golden Company—a badass mercenary army known for never breaking a contract. For many reasons, this poses a big problem for GoT's dynamic duo. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cillian Murphy as James Bond? Oddsmakers Say He's Got a Shot at 007
 
The next James Bond film, known as Bond 25, is slated to begin shooting next month for a theatrical release next year. It will likely be Daniel Craig's final turn as 007, which, of course, has people speculating over his replacement.

The Chicago Tribune Had a Savage Response to LeBron Passing Jordan on the All-Time Scoring List
 
How do you judge a prolific career in basketball? That apparently depends on who you ask. LeBron James, who is only 34, has already carved out his place in history by passing NBA legend Michael Jordan on the league's all-time scoring list. Jordan, who officially retired at 40, is still often regarded as the greatest ever. There are also dueling versions of Space Jam to consider. But in pursuit of points and glory, The Chicago Tribune came with receipts. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Modern Corporate Dress Code Must Die a Fast Death
 
You may have heard that Goldman Sachs is loosening its dress code, letting guys ditch the suit and tie in favor of…well, that's actually unclear. The new "dress code," as detailed in an internal memo, doesn't give much direction. And while in this instance and industry it'll surely just lead to a bunch of banker bros wearing vests en masse, not codifying the new expectations might have been the smartest move Goldman Sachs could make.

Inside the Very Surreal NBA 2K League Draft
 
There used to be only one real way to become a professional athlete. You're born with natural, physical talent, work your tail off to maximize it, and then work your tail off some more to compete with it at the highest level. Those who love the game but don't possess the physical attributes or work ethic to go pro are left to pursue another career—sports become merely a hobby. That hobby, for a basketball fanatic, might be playing video games like NBA 2K. And now, as the NBA 2K League embarks upon its second year of existence, there's a whole new way for the sports fanatic to go pro. Esquire's Jack Holmes reports from inside the 2019 NBA 2K League draft, where the number one overall pick is not your typical 18-year old Center. In fact, he's not even 6 feet tall.
