Dolfan in NYC

Today has been an exceptionally shit day. Here's something that will hopefully make you smile:

Derek Carr has a "Traverse Process Fracture" in his back, whatever the hell that is. He'll be out 2-6 weeks.

NOTE --- Apparently Tom is not dead yet! The LAPD has said the notice of his death was premature. However, he isn't expected to make it through the night.

I wonder if they'll really triple-down on Jinder by having him beat Lesnar (or more likely Reigns) to 'unify' the titles and then have him lose the next night.

I know it's coming. Jeter has already indicated that payroll is going to get slashed. Stanton just has a monster deal, which makes him basically untradeable -- or more accurately, the Marlins would get fucked in the deal because the other team would throw a bucket of D-level prospects in exchange for taking on the salary.

Keith Hernandez and David Ortiz will replace Pete Rose for Fox playoff coverage. This is an excuse for me to re-post this:

Fox Sports has announced they will no longer air the National Anthem before games.

The Chicago Bears announced that Mike Glennon was paid $16 Million to start four games for them. Mitch Trubisky will start Monday the 9th against the Vikings.

Twins/Yanks is tomorrow night. Rockies/D'Backs is on Wednesday.

RANKINGZ~ #1 #2 #3 #4 Fuck you. I warned you. #5

Watching DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE again. I'd completely forgotten Ludvig Borga was in it.

Just let me know when I can buy my $10,000 chrome plated horse.

Bruce Willis has signed on for Die Hard 6. Although! It's supposed to be as bookends for Die Hard: Year One. A different actor will play the rookie version of McClaine in 1970's NYC. This *might* be okay.

I'd say Original first. Then later Final. Original gives you the classic version of the film. More exposition, etc. Final Cut is the one re-done by Ridley Scott, remastered and adds a bunch of stuff. Including answers to a bunch of questions that the original cut will leave you with (don't worry, this is a feature, not a bug).

Double Feature tickets are on sale: https://www.fandango.com/blade-runner-the-final-cut-double-feature-2017-110776/movie-overview Note, they're using the Final Cut version of the first movie.

The sabre rattling continues in Calgary: https://deadspin.com/what-the-nhl-is-doing-in-calgary-is-pretty-gross-1818879619 Essentially, the NHL is promising to move the Flames if Calgary doesn't get a new mayor.

Also, here is the international trailer for Darkest Hour. I think Oldman's about to win his first Oscar...

Good lord. I just had visions of Lana being beat down by Tamina at Wrestlemania and having Rusev run in like Miss Elizabeth at Mania 8. I may have just shed a tear.

The Marlins have officially been sold to Derek Jeter and a bunch of shady ass investors. To prepare for the great celebration, King Joffrey, er, Jeter took last week to fire David Samson, Jeff Conine, Jack McKeon, Tony Perez, and Andre Dawson from their front office positions.

I've got tickets for the Rumble in Philly. There's either going to be a riot or complete silence when Roman wins the Rumble again.

GOTTI Starring John Travolta, Stacy Keach, and Kelly Preston I think this is going to suffer from "Covers WAY too much material" Syndrome. Especially since the director isn't someone like Coppola or Scorcese, but rather is a guy from Entourage.

ANNIHILATION Starring Natalie Portman and Jennifer Jason Leigh

To be fair, the death penalty was very much on the table for Penn State. And from what I've seen so far, Louisville was engaging in SMU-level egregious rulebreaking. (That said, just pay these kids already. Christ.)
