After the sexual harassment allegations against Louis C.K. surfaced in the news in November 2017, Sarah Silverman used her Hulu show “I Love You America, With Sarah Silverman” to address the strikes against the comedian and man she had called her friend since she was 19 years old. Now that he has dipped his toe back into the standup comedy world, less than a year later, Silverman is still struggling with how she feels about what she has learned.

“Things are very black and white if it isn’t someone you love on either side, on any part of it,” Silverman said at the Paley Fall TV Preview for the second season of her show Friday. “My heart goes out to him [but] then I have to stop and say, ‘You know what? I think I’m too close to this to be objective.’ Sometimes when you know someone you don’t always know more,...

A group of NFL players — Anquan Boldin, Malcolm Jenkins, Doug Baldwin and Benjamin Watson — told President Donald Trump that his offer to pardon those who received unfair treatment by the justice system “will not address” the systemic injustice they have been protesting.

“A handful of pardons will not address the sort of systemic injustice that N.F.L. players have been protesting,” they wrote in an op-ed in the New York Times. “These are problems that our government has created, many of which occur at the local level. If President Trump thinks he can end these injustices if we deliver him a few names, he hasn’t been listening to us.”

The quartet of players are all members of the Players Coalition, an advocacy group made up of former and current NFL players.

Several members of the Seattle Seahawks are considering protesting the national anthem over civil rights concerns when the team faces the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks, according to the Seattle Times. The players are considering joining San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is famously protesting the national anthem out of refusal to “show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people.” Kaepernick has either sat or kneeled the past two games and doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. The Times said star receiver Doug Baldwin and star linebacker...

They're some of the best athletes in the world -- but when it comes to throwing a football, the guys from Manchester United proved worse than Tim Tebow.  A bunch of Man U guys -- including Memphis Depay, Phil Jones, Daley Blind, Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans -- hit up the Seahawks training facility while they were in town to play Club America in Seattle.  The guys got a tour from Seahawks stars Doug Baldwin...

Marshawn Lynch -- he of few words, but the voice of an angel -- is the Seahawk most known for his “obscene” touchdown dances. But it was teammate Doug Baldwin who may have gone too far with a Super Bowl dance that was too risqué for NBC.

After scoring a touchdown in the third quarter against the Patriots, Baldwin is scene doing a sort of shimmy in the end zone, before the camera cut away. Here’s the entirety of what was show (Gif via Deadspin):

For non-football fans, Super Bowl Sunday can be a boring day punctuated by fun commercials and a halftime show. But if you’re into sexy studs, there’s plenty to watch when the players are on the field. Here’s a look at the hottest hunks suiting up for each side in this year's big game.

You’re probably thinking Tom Brady should be at the top of this list. But #11 won the hearts of Pats fans (and anyone with eyeballs) in a big way this season. I mean, did you see that face?

After the hard-fought days of Training Camp, after the hard fought divisional battles, after battling their way through the playoff gauntlet, only two teams remain. Fans of the underdogs were disappointed as the two teams expected to win their conferences did just that, with the Seahawks and Broncos punching their tickets to Super Bowl Xlviii on Sunday. Both teams came into the postseason as the number one overall team in their conference, so we should expect nothing less than this game being one for the ages.
