Grantland's Rembert Explains the '80s: Earth, Wind & Fire, 'Let's Groove'

Check out Grantland's Rembert Explains the '80s: Earth, Wind & Fire, 'Let's Groove' - it is a fun look at the '80s.

As the segment explains "Welcome back to our series Rembert Explains the '80s. Every so often, we'll e-mail 25-year-old Rembert Browne a video from the 1980s that he hasn't seen. Rembert will write down his thoughts as he's watching the video, then we'll post those thoughts here. This week's installment was selected by Rembert Browne, BECAUSE IT'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND I'M CALLING THE SHOTS: "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind & Fire."

Grantland's YouTube HOF: Super Bowl Halftime

Check out Grantland's "YouTube HOF: Super Bowl Halftime" with the Super Bowl this Sunday between the Ravens and 49ers.

Here is Grantland's introduction:

"In its 47 years, the Super Bowl halftime show has become something of a definitive stage for American entertainment; a pop-cultural barometer, albeit a wildly unreliable one. It has created larger-than-life onstage moments that have inspired millions and ruined careers and prompted legislation. This Sunday, Beyoncé will take the stage at the Superdome in a halftime show that, for once, promises to be pretty damn good. Which is great, because as we learned this week at the YouTube HOF, when it comes to Super Bowl halftimes, sometimes we're lucky, and sometimes the Black Eyed Peas are there."

Grantland's YouTube HOF: Zero Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Grantland's A Battle for the Best Chappelle's Show Sketch Ever

Rempert Brown explains to over the bracket of "Grantland's A Battle for the Best Chappelle's Show Sketch Ever"

"I'm not sure if it's the best show, or the funniest show, or the smartest show, or even the bravest show, but I do know that Chappelle's Show is hands down, without a close second, the most important show of my life. Since its debut on January 22, 2003, it became one of the few television shows that I watched every week, in real time, the night it aired. There are two reasons for this: (1) It was revolutionary, and (2) it was unacceptable to show up to high school the next day without knowing all the material from the previous night's episode. Social suicide, the kids still call it. And since the show went off the air in 2006, my weekly intake has only slightly decreased."

I was in college - when the Chappelle Show was on - and it was must watch TV. It was and is my favorite comedy show in my life. I am excited for this bracket to be completed.

Grantland's YouTube HOF: Batman!

Call me excited. I will be traveling with my beautiful wife for a few weeks and will be out of normal posting. But Batman comes out Friday July 20th and I am beyond excited to see Dark Knight Rises.

This is Grantland's explanation of their video collection: "The expectations couldn't be higher for Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight follow-up, The Dark Knight Rises (which hits theaters this weekend, for those of you living in ... I don't know, some kind of cave). Seeing as the Batman franchise has gone through some extreme ups and downs in the 70-odd years since first being adapted by Hollywood, we here at Grantland thought we'd offer a bit of perspective. Here are a few handpicked highlights (and lowlights)"

Videos include: Batman Dances 1966

Grantland's The Future of U.S. Soccer, Part II: The Age of Determination

I have enjoyed Andrew Lewellan's first two parts examining the future of U.S. Soccer - this is part two. I recommend any soccer fan to read - and any fan of U.S sports to read. As the introduction states: "In the second in a series of posts on the future of soccer, Andrew Lewellen looks back on a pivotal moment in U.S. soccer history — the 1990 World Cup — and how it changed the trajectory of the sport in the States. For Part I of the series, on the recent changes in high school and youth soccer, click here."
