Damn, no longer do I have to ask Alexa to show me a divorce` unhappy with his alimony payments. Would love for my wife to work in that sarcasm and irony you speak of next time she's pissed off at me, it would be a relief from the full frontal barrage.

So, as you'll see quickly, these are not necessarily movies that were released in 2024; in fact, only one movie makes the top 10 with two on the honorable mention list. But all of the movies on the list were seen by me for the first time in the last year, due to a variety of reasons (access...

Along with those Chargers teams: -the Earl Campbell/Bum Phillips baby blue uniformed Houston Oilers -Phi Slamma Jamma Houston Cougars -early ‘80s Montreal Expos -The Wire (never nominated for an Emmy in Drama) Sometimes legends don’t need a ‘ship

Nicholas Colasanto would have been a better PH than Margot:

The Chargers are the Vikings with fewer years of torment and palm instead of pine trees.

One of the indelible sports memories of my youth:

Twins alert today— Cardinals: mid ‘70s outfielder who became a pinch hitter specialist for the Redbirds in the ‘80s Guardians: early ‘80s shortstop who went on to a notable career as a manager MVP: the first of five (while in MN)

My only reason for holding back on calling it the worst was that they didn't have a #1 pick that year. 1990 was only salvaged by the 9th round flier taken on Terry Allen (that year, their 1st and 2nd round picks were in Dallas' hands due to the Herschel Walker trade). It's pretty amazing that...

Vikings Draft History '22? '05? Go take a look at '71--now that was a dog of a draft, with legends (Jack Ham, Dan Dierdorf, Lyle Alzado) being passed by for ham and egg'ers. Or '89, '01, '04. '10 and '11 were dogs of drafts except for one player in each draft (Everson Griffen and Kyle...

When it comes to Gopher men's basketball:

That season deserves a deep dive--I'd really love to know why a 93 loss Padres team would waive him after 56 games. Was he that much of a cancer in the clubhouse? I could see it--I recall part of his legend was sending a live rat to a female sportswriter back in the mid '80s during a game...

Somehow, someway Mike Fetters popped into my head for DBacks/Angels. No idea how. I’ve been sloppy in December-lost the other day because my theory that every player whose baseball card I owned eventually played for the Rangers was proven wrong with Dave Kingman.

I also had Winfield and Blylevsn on my grid, along with Graig Nettles, coulda been Twins legend.

I had no idea that White had played with the Yankees, but I was certain the other three (Pelphrey, Cuddyer, and ???--can't recall who it was) had been with the Mets, so I figured White had to wear the pinstripes. Helpful info for the Grid! As for today's puzzle, somehow I lucked into getting a...

Got myself a home run today (although I'm a bit confused on what "today" is--it lists December 10, but I'm already on December 12 over here, so 🤷‍♂️). Anyway, it's the one with the Mets/Yankees tie-in.

Came across another fun little baseball trivia game in a different vein today: https://www.dailywalkoff.com/

And in the same spirit as the previous post:

Bomani Jones & Spencer Hall were recently discussing their favorite Christmas songs on Jones' podcast and talk turned to Christmas songs on the dirty side. Here's Jimmy Butler (not that one) with Trim Your Tree:

Ever since Quentin Tarantino released Jackie Brown way back in the mid '90s and I laid eyes on Pam Grier and heard about the influence of her blaxploitation/grindhouse movies, specifically Coffy and Foxy Brown, I've been hoping to catch up with the movies and finally had the opportunity as they...

Hopefully for Rays fans this doesn’t go th way of Piniella vs. Dibble, could get ugly!
