The concept of A Cop On The Edge was once a disreputable film genre unto itself. This was not really a good thing in terms of what it indicated about where the culture was on the issue of vigilante violence, among other things. But its passing is also unworthy of much mourning because these movies were bad enough that one of the genre's signature moments was a twitchy and inexplicably be-gloved Sylvester Stallone cutting a slice of pizza with some desk scissors while wearing sunglasses indoors...

After a couple of crazy games — one loss and one win — the Rockies will look to take their final game against the St. Louis Cardinals in this afternoon’s rubber match. If they win, they will tie the season series 3-3. The Rockies have played 19 rubber matches so far this season and are […]
TJ Rumfield burst onto the scene this year and has not looked back. The 26-year-old rookie has been on an absolute tear and has been (rightfully) in the NL Rookie of the Year conversation.
