The 2017 NFL draft is about to kick off and dozens of hopefuls are vying for a spot on one of the league’s 32 teams. Among the most recognizable prospects are potential No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett, known for his affinity for poetry and dinosaurs, and Beyoncé-obsessed Solomon Thomas.

It’s an impressive class, with Bleacher Report calling the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine “the most compelling combine in years.” But for many of these driven young players, the road to turn pro hasn’t been easy.

Here are three NFL prospects facing incredible tragedy as they prepare for the draft, which...

Okay, so let’s establish the facts about “Drib,” an unclassifiable meta-documentary satire that burns down the marketing industry and everyone in it: In 2014, a Los Angeles advertising company flew over a stunt comic/performance artist named Amir Asgharnejad (born in Iran, raised in Norway) in the hopes that he might anchor a high-concept advertisement for an unnamed energy drink company. Internet famous at the time thanks to a series of viral videos in which he gets the shit kicked out of him by strangers he antagonized on the street, Amir was hired to replicate his beatdowns as part of a broader content initiative of some kind. The plan hadn’t been fully approved, and the agency didn’t know that all of the assailants in Amir’s videos were paid accomplices, but the idea was to shoot the risqué footage, “leak” the faux-vérité spots to the media as part of a “cancelled” campaign,...

From filmmakers to actors (and, sometimes, both at the same time), familiar faces looking to try a new craft to total newbies, this year’s festival has plenty of stars on the rise to look out for (ouch, so bright).

Earlier in 2016, Matt Clarke and David Milchard -- the creators and stars of Convos With My 2 Year Old -- announced their plan to venture beyond the web series that made them Internet famous by releasing additional shows on a new channel, CocoMilkTV.

Now, Clarke and Milchard have shared two new shows, and other of them comes with plenty of holiday spirit. It’s called Santa & Jesus Roommates, and as its title implies, it imagines what would happen if two of Christianity’s most important figures co-habitated with one another.

In the first episode of Santa & Jesus, Santa (Michael P. Northey) gets grossed after Jesus (Clarke) brings home a leper and treats him on the couch. Jesus uses that criticism as an opportunity to reprimand his roommate regarding his personal cleanliness (or lack thereof).

While he asked a reasonable question about retaining energy jobs in the U.S. while upholding environmental standards, viewers online immediately seized on Bone’s appearance — which included a very, very red sweater — and pun-worthy name, with memes popping up almost immediately.
