Regarding that final scene, I was right there with you-man, did I want him to hang out with his nephew , connect with his wife, come back into the fold-where movies tend to take us, the full on redemptive arc. But the way it closed, I thought it was perfect in its ambiguity and IMO, what brought...

I can agree with you (to a degree) on the caricature of their characters, but what caught me was the vulnerability of both—Eisenberg’s successful life, but desiring what his cousin has in the ability to connect and Culkin’s charm/big feelings translating to a driftless adulthood. I felt those...

Funny you posted this, as I was also bemused by the 200 hits category--in my head, it was something that used to happen often, particularly in the more free-swinging eras of the '60s to the '80s, but as you mentioned with the Giants, when you look post-WWII, there's only been four players who...

I watched A Real Pain last night and recency bias aside, it’s feeling like the best movie I’ve watched in a long time-even surpassing Sing Sing (which I greatly enjoyed). So many layers packed into a taut 90 minutes and the final shot of Caulkin in the airport was so…evocative? Haunting...

I know we're talking about Shooter and I know that we're getting a touch into the weeds, but it would have been really nice to add a line that alludes to something like this: "it's very likely we won't see a resolution until after June 1, because that is when teams won't be affected in regards...

Prolific shooter from Davidson-I’m down with that.

I could have wrote a dissertation on the subject, but that would go against the whole ethos of the field of study.

Twins on the Grid today, I went with: Portugal, the Man (.7%) "El Tiante" (1%) Eric Soderholm (.6%)

Strange grid today, with the only criteria for all nine squares being “played in MLB”. I went obscurity hunting from the Twins archives and ended up with a score of 0%. Twins used: Vic Albert, Mark Funderburk, Craig Kusick, Terry Bulling, Pete Redfern, Andre David, Rick Sofield, Hosken...

It’s a fool’s game to project in March, before the tournament has ended, the standings of any conference, when the make-up of teams are totally in flux. Not only the portal but NBA draft declarations (that always include surprises) will shift rosters unexpectedly. Plus we’re already seeing...

A great point guard for SDSU back in the day too, earning All-WAC honors in both sports. Found this snippet on his Wikipedia page: By the following season in 1979, Gwynn still had not heard from Aztecs baseballcoach Jim Dietz about joining the team after the basketball season.[39] However, an...

G’damn, Reardon sure made it around to a few stops in MLB.

Thanks for posting this golf, one of my favorite things to do is peruse this list for noteworthy names. Although I don’t see All Wight listed, he’s got a spot on my all name list, along with: Mister Dean (#48, SG) Zarique Nutter (#69, SF)-you can’t convince me he was #70 on the list, but someone...

And I hear it’s always sunny there, so they got that going for them.

I’m surprised it took this long to fire him, seems Stanford was willing to keep rolling along with this mediocrity before ESPN brought the story to brighter light: https://www.espn.in/college-football/story/_/id/44319805/stanford-football-coach-accused-reports-bullying-belittling-female-staffers
