$400 (Single Jeopardy round)

Air Force also has D1 puck.

Agree on the entire cast. It's the Mayor who is being interrogated. Great set up too when the FBI agent (who isn't identified as such) then boards a private plane accompanied by Hackman to get out town immediately afterwards once the info is gained. Per wiki, Bell was originally up for the...

With the recent passing of Gene Hackman I took the time to revisit Mississippi Burning. In an interview from a few years ago, Willem Dafoe said he is quite proud of the film and that the main reason he pursued the gig was because Hackman was attached. It holds up, I think it's still a great...

Reusse with a spot on column and proposal. https://www.startribune.com/major-league-baseball-minnesota-twins-regular-season-playoffs-world-series-expansion-patrick-reusse/601314988 And it will never happen. Ever.

Quite a gimmick for KQ92 to play Soul Asylum's Somebody to Shove on a loop this past Tuesday. I bailed on KQ completely, circa 1989. I've gone decades without even having 92.5 programmed in my favorite stations on my FM dial in the car. Interesting that now they are going to play the music...

A 34 Year Drought in the Championship Round in the 4 major professional sports tends to bring a collective fanbase down and skew negative for some reason.

That seems like a non-starter. Would screw up Fantasy Football, wagering, would be a nightmare to try to schedule the off week for a 53-57 man roster, mess up TV ratings for games when stars are not playing...

I don't think it was or will be an improvement at all. But I still watched.

You know what you are in for after the Opening Credits. My old man as a Beach Boys fan, LOLd when we were at the theater. I love the marquee at the end: Nick Rivers - Headlining with Stevie Wonder & Linda Ronstadt and if time permitting... Frank Sinatra

I used Portugal for Giants/Astros (0.4%). Twins: Astros - Marwin Gonzalez (3%) 2000 Ks - Early Wynn (0.5%) / actually only a Senator Version 1.0 3B - Graig Nettles (0.9%)

An 18-game NFL regular season was not a major topic at this week’s annual meeting, but it’s increasingly looking like a foregone conclusion that team owners will pursue it—and perhaps soon. It was a foregone conclusion literally the minute they announced going from a 16 to 17 game schedule...

Funny, but the first Val Kilmer performance that popped into my head after hearing of his passing was the role of: Val Kilmer in Life's Too Short (HBO Series). It's an hysterical sendup of himself along with Dune co-star Warwick Davis. No idea if it still holds up, but I thought Top Secret! was...

Magic number for the AL Central is 159.
