Columnist Andy van Sistine explains why less-known sports leagues can often be more entertaining than the pros
Last Saturday was national Record Store Day. I'm only moderately ashamed to admit that I didn't patronize any of the local record stores. Although I am in love with some romantic ideal of what record stores are like (probably due to repeated viewings of ""High Fidelity""), I couldn't tell you the last time I bought an album from a record store. It's simple, really. I don't have money to buy music. And while that might stop me from getting music at record stores, it doesn't stop me from getting music.

""State of Play"" is a terrible movie with an amazingly astute marketing strategy. By shamelessly pandering to media luddites with nostalgia-inducing montages of a reporter's life, it softened the hearts of some of the most jaded film critics (it made A.O.
