Always reliable. 5. “He doesn’t know it’s a damn show. He thinks it’s a damn fight!” — Tony Burton as Apollo Creed’s trainer/Rocky: Just watched the Oscar winner for the 100th time. Wow, that was some fight — and Burton’s character summarizes the whole plot here. 4. “There’s no crying in baseball!” — Tom [...] Sports Illustrated‘s Joe Posnanski has a little fun with our favorite long-winded referee: NFL Referee Ed Hochuli’s 57-second explanation of the new NFL overtime rules … in verse. With the score tied at the end of regulation we will go into overtime There are special overtime rules in the playoffs Both teams get an opportunity [...] Just found out that Wikipedia’s down today (per Jonah Goldberg’s Twitter feed). (Google’s even horned in on the act. There’s a big piece of — what looks like — duct tape over their logo.) Yesterday he wrote at NR’s The Corner: Very soon Wikipedia will go dark for a day to protest something called SOPA. [...] I’d like to take this time to thank the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for living a life most certainly worthy of a day of recognition. His message, so deviously twisted by many in the Democrat party, a party whose policies the Republican Dr. King eloquently and actively opposed, fortunately reached the likes [...] A few cheesy lines in John Parr’s Tim Tebow-inspired re-make of his #1 hit “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)”? Well, not even “Weird Al” hits a home run every time and nowhere near as many clunky lines as in the movie where it originally appeared. Frikkin’ super-genius compared to Prince’s ode to the Minnesota [...] Because first I loved his voice. Then I loved his wit. Then I saw him, live. Then I just loved him. Because now two of my favorite sports guys are New York Jets fans (Joe Queenan’s the other), and I admire such dogged devotion in the face of…well, the Jets. Because Mike & Mike, the morning [...] … lots of Justified on the brain: Season 2 out today on DVD and blu-ray, Elmore Leonard discussing his upcoming new book “Raylan” in a minute-long trailer with series creator/executive producer (and writer of two Band of Brothers episodes) Graham Yost, and series star Nick Searcy will get us prepped for Season 3′s January 17th [...] I guess I knew this was inevitable, but I kept that knowledge far, far away. He was brilliant and hilarious and an arrogant gasbag, and I’ll miss his writing, even the stuff I thought was shit. I bitterly regret never having met the man. I send my thoughts and — though he didn’t believe in [...] Because he’s been the face of the Turner Classic Movie channel since 1994, hosting four prime-time movies, seven days a week; interviewing stars and directors from Hollywood’s Golden Age for the “Private Screenings” series; and, since 2006, chatting every Saturday night with a different celeb for The Essentials, TCM’s version of Film 101. Because “host” is [...] Loving this… Apparently AI has requested the perp walk for W: “On what basis does Amnesty International want us to arrest Mr Bush? Tell them to hang, and also please ask them to create their own country and wait for Mr Bush to visit their country so that they can arrest him to suit [...] To bum a sentiment from David Stein by way of Michael Corleone, just when you think all the fuss about David’s take-down of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer’s intellectual dishonesty re. Gov. Rick Perry’s Muslim curriculum had seen its last, they pull him back in to the fray. Be sure to check out David’s whole [...] Mercilessly mocking the loony left, still one of our greatest weapons, and David Stein does it oh-so-well in his latest Counter Contempt column. If you like the below — and who besides maybe BarryO wouldn’t? — be sure to check it out in its entirety. “Ebay … I don’t think I can ever [...] Before The Replacements toiled in sales obscurity despite great reviews and fan loyalty, their heroes, power-pop maestros Big Star, set the standard in those categories. Now hear their story, quite possibly for the first time. Among many ardent music fans and critics the band, Big Star, is widely regarded as one of the greatest [...] Pat Forde, long one of my favorite sports columnists, gives as fair and balanced an assessment of the past and present state of PSU and Coach Paterno affairs as I’ve read in the last five days. No sugar-coat of the current tragedy, as well as the last decade or so, puts things in as [...] I’ve got nothing for or against Brett Ratner, but after his innocuous use of “fag,” still feel bad for anyone who will undoubtedly have to embark on the “apology tour of shame.” God help him if Perez Hilton still wears the ring to kiss. Pssst, it’s a word. It only has the power you [...] While Jim Ladd and I will likely never see eye-to-eye on politics (he’s still living out irrational Nixon hate on as many Republicans/conservatives as possibe; I, on the other hand, decided to leave my “rebel” 20s in the rearview, plus have only experienced contact highs at the many concerts I’ve seen through the years), I [...] Our friend Kender MacGowan strikes yet again (and again and again), graduating to a slot at The American Thinker in the process — awright, awright, awright!!! This time he narrows his sights on the malcontents occupying polluting cities from coast to coast (and around the world). Be sure to check out the whole column, [...] |
