Best movies with a wrestler in a prominent role? Guardians of the Galaxy Rocky III Roadhouse (Terry Funk) Predator They Live The Princess Bride The Iron Claw (Chavo Guerrero Jr.) The Wrestler (cameos from a few former wrestlers) What am I missing? As much as I loved The Rock's WWE persona, I...

It took awhile for the penny to drop, but when I was on the second to last episode of Bad Monkey, I heard a cover of Tom Petty's Don't Come Around Here No More and was reminded that I was hearing a lot of Petty songs throughout the show that were covers. A quick search found that DCAHNM was...

Funny you bring up the ‘96 Twins-I used Frankie Rodriguez (BoSox .2%) and Scott Klingenbeck (Orioles, .008%) today. For my money, Klingenbeck was the worst pitcher I ever saw on the mound for the Twins so he’s forever etched in my memory. I finished off the category with Tony O at 7%. It seems a...

He could be the ace on the Quinton McCracken All-Stars (he played for Rockies, D-Backs, and Rays, in addition to 24 games for the local team in ‘01)

Has the NFC Central ever been this strong? Not just w/records or point differential or anything else, just anecdotally speaking/thinking, there has always been a dog in the division-most often the Lions, certainly the Bucs back in the day, but this is something else. Of course, some team could...

I just found out there’s a podcast called The Wonder of Stevie that covers his sublime period from ‘72 to’76. Haven’t listened yet but will definitely be checking it out.

Alright, time to get back on the horse for the next post of "Holy Hell, I didn't know/don't remember that he played for that franchise!" with the pretty recent (all things considered) Seattle Mariners who debuted the summer of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours with much less acclaim. It would take 14...

It's been awhile since I've heard Dolly Parton jokes--I think our age is showing fellas ;-)

You are correct—H was my lineup and I thought I could sneak Wilco in with my last pick but I was thwarted.

I think he’s a dead ringer for Fran Tarkenton, That’s Incredible era:

Fighting the stomach bug for a second day allowed me to dive into My Dinner with Andre today/tonight (had to split it in two; was falling asleep at the halfway point). My thoughts: * The first 50 minutes or so was pretty much given over to Andre talking and I found him to be a kook--a blowhard...

Just curious Bleed, have you gotten around to watching this yet?

Was it fun? I found The Instigators to be fun, even if it’s a movie I will likely soon forget.

Haven't really made the connection between the film and Wilco's movie yet, but there certainly have been moments (particularly living overseas) where I felt like Chance/Chauncey--without the acclaim that he garnered ;-). Anytime I hear someone tell me they're experiencing imposter syndrome, I...

Home ill with a stomach ailment today, so I crossed another off my list by watching Being There. Loved it-so damn funny and clever and like Network, a theme/plot that translates very well 40 years later.

I finally conquered my white whale over the weekend, watching Lawrence of Arabia over the course of Friday and Saturday night and wrapping the last hour up this Sunday morning. A few thoughts: 1. I look forward to the next time I can watch it, hopefully in one sitting, and ideally in a movie...

When the draft ended and I looked at all our boards, I was shocked to realize no one had taken The Who, as were others. For myself, I think I just lost them on my board or somehow thought they had been picked (even though I was running the board). The Kinks were a huge oversight too. I wish I...

One wrinkle that I didn't mention was that the lineups would be sent out for votes among our co-workers to see who the ultimate winner would be and there's just not a lot of heavy metal heads in my workforce, so that could have definitely influenced the lack of metal in the mix.

During a recent work training, we had various wellness activities offered, and I led a music festival fantasy draft with eight other co-workers. The concept was simple and familiar to anyone who has participated in fantasy football draft--a snake draft for 11 rounds. Here were the chosen...
