The Nose Flies Into 'Dumbo'

This week, Will Leitch, from New York Magazine, wrote that "The Era of the Old Athlete is Over." Is it? And what does this mean for the future of sports?

And, what's so bad about slicing your bagel like bread? You may have heard of "Bagelgate." The Nose discusses the ins and outs of slicing your bagel in half, or into slices.
