As the transfer window inches shut and we welcome back actual football, the battle lines on the airwaves and TV screens have been drawn.
BT and Sky are battling it out on the telly, while Absolute, talkSPORT and the Beeb scuffle over radio. Max Rushden has a foot in a couple of camps, presenting a show on talkSPORT and heading up Soccer Am with Helen Chamberlain.
Ahead of this weekend's top-flight kick-off, Digital Spy met up with Max to talk about the season ahead.
Are you happy that transfer madness is nearly over and some matches will start soon?
"I do love transfer speculation to the point of checking the gossip each day, seeing what it is, and then going off and doing something else. I always have a lot of sympathy and respect for the guys on Sky Sports News or talkSPORT every day who are still managing to...

Columbia, S.C. — The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned a settlement divvying up the multimillion-dollar estate of James Brown, saying a former attorney general didn't follow the late soul singer's wishes in putting together the deal.
Attorney General Henry McMaster brokered a settlement in 2009 that split Brown's estate, giving nearly half to a charitable trust, a quarter to his widow, Tomi Rae Hynie, and leaving the rest to be split among his adult children.
But the justices ruled that the deal ignored Brown's wishes for most of his money to go to charity. The court also ruled the Godfather of Soul was of sound mind when he made his will before dying of heart failure on Christmas Day 2006 at age 73.
The court sent the estate back to a lower court to be reconsidered.
The justices did agree with the lower court's decision to remove Brown's original trustees. Members...

Into the Abyss
Directed by Werner Herzog
Germany, Canada, 2011
Werner Herzog’s second documentary released this year is surprisingly similar to the first. Where his Cave of Forgotten Dreams looked at ancient caverns in Chauvet, the more recent Into the Abyss also excavates, but this time the subject matter is death row inmates and a vicious crime in Conroe, Texas.
When Herzog excavates it’s different than what we might consider typical documentary excavation. As his Caves less explored the history and unknown and focused instead on a metaphysical rumination of time, his Into the Abyss forgoes a classically styled investigatory piece in favor of a dissection of human nature, emptiness and, again, time.
Death row inmate Matthew Perry and his convicted accomplice Jason Burkett are only one of the many angles that Herzog lenses as he delves into the murder of Sandra Stotler, her son Adam, and his friend James Richardson.

Ask and you shall receive.
If there's a list of things you should never shout while onstage, "everybody give me your left shoe right now" just got added. As you can see in the video below, that's what Mgmt's James Richardson proclaims moments before the band finds themselves floating amidst a sea of left-foot oriented sandals, shoes, and flip-flops.
It's pretty hilarious.
Things got rowdy as the group performed at the U.S. Open of Surfing last weekend in Huntington Beach, California, reported StyleCaster. As if the mood wasn't exciting enough with sun, surf and sand in the background, the odd command sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Richardson probably only expected a flip-flop or two.
But there's only one question that remains: What'd they do with their right shoes?

Andy Schleck won at the highest finish in Tour history, but Thomas Voeckler clings on to the yellow jersey by 15 seconds
Stage 18: Pinerolo to Col du Galibier (200.5km)
Three of the Tour's nine hors category Alpine climbs loom ominously between the riders and the finish line today in a stage that should go some way towards sorting out the men from the boys ... unlike several other stages we predicted would do so, only for the Gc to remain more or less the same.
First up is the Col Agnel (2,744m), the third-highest pass in Tour history, followed by the Col d'Izoard (2,360m) with an average ascent of 7.1%. Finally, an exhausted field must tackle the Col du Galibier (2,645m), where the first rider to the summit will stand on the stage-winner's podium at a higher altitude than any competitor in Tour de France history.

We're now a few months removed from the release of Mgmt's Congratulations, which is one of the most divisive sophomore albums in recent memory. Seen as a bold step forward by some and an arrogant kiss-off to the fans who made them huge by others, the nine tracks on Congratulations leave behind a lot of the fuzzy frothiness of their smash hits "Kids" and "Time to Pretend" and instead dives even deeper into electronic purgatory and more complicated song arrangements. It was derided as their Metal Machine Music but is more like their Kid A — the album that requires a few listens in order for everything to be properly revealed and the one that may ultimately dictate their legacy.
The men of Mgmt acknowledge that the album is difficult and that they felt the negative reaction, but they think more people are coming around after they are exposed to the live show.

See that up there? That's a pretty good example of what we in the business call "a provocative headline." Because earlier today, things were sort of lousy here at Lollapalooza, weather-wise at least. It was raining off-and-on for a few hours, which not only slowly turned Grant Park into an (even muddier) pit, but also wrecked havoc with our interview schedule.
So, when we finally managed to corral one-half of Mgmt, it didn't take place on a sunny hill, overlooking the expanses of the park ... but rather tucked away in an extra-dry (and very nice) Lolla cabana. There's a reason people pay good money to rent these things for the weekend.
Anyway, while we were waiting to start our chat, we asked Ben Goldwasser and James Richardson about the weather (it's an old interview trick), which led to a lengthy discussion about just why the rain — and the accompanying slop...
