Interesting that he waited until after the draft, a la Barry.
Sounds like he was having a really difficult time deciding if he wanted to/physically could play another year.
But, yeah, the timing blows.

Frank Ragnow announced his retirement. Leaves a big hole for the Lions to fill at center.

So are all the sequels gonna have Beatles references in their name?
Wait, what is The Beatles reference in Wake Up Dead Man?

I mentioned it elsewhere (and many other times over the last twenty some years on this board) but his Supergirl is my favorite long run any writer has ever had on a book.

well again - they nipped that in the bud by saying each country can only have one NFL player
No. Each country can have one player from each NFL team.

Looks like we aren't getting the Wes Anderson movie until next weekend.
Pretty sure it's only New York and L.A. this weekend.

I know it's 4K and not just regular Blu-ray, but it's nuts that the Anderson box, with ten movies and twenty discs, has a MSRP $200 higher than the Ingmar Bergman's Cinema box that had 30 discs, 39 movies, and two TV miniseries in it.

Caught #Friendship, Bring Her Back, and Karate Kid Legends tonight.
#Friendship is funny and well acted, but it pulls its punches at the end.
Bring Her Back is pleasantly creepy and kinda feels like a throwback to early 00s horror, but isn't doing anything new or whatever.
KKL is what exactly what you think it is.

Also, wouldn't he need the approval of whoever actually owns the copyrighted work to release it?
Just because he has a copy (if he does) that doesn't mean he can just sell it to the highest bidding boutique label and sell it on Blu-ray.

Also on the weird tip: so far in this post season, the Knicks are 3-5 at MSG, but 6-2 on the road.
-
What a weird series this was. OKC on average won by about six points a game, despite winning 4-1 with three blowouts.

I can't remember who the older black man was in relation to QT, but he tells a story about how the whole speech that Dennis Hopper tells Christopher Walken in True Romance was almost verbatim what that man had told him as a kid, and when the guy saw the movie he was like "that's true! I told him that!"
(If you aren't familiar with the scene, Hopper's character basically weaponizes the racism of the Italian Mafia by talking about why they have darker complexions and hair. It's certainly not unproblematic.)
-
Dogs is pretty low on my QT rankings, but it's got some damn memorable moments.
Hey, City on Fire should finally be legally available in the United States again this summer, so you can see the movie he most lifted it from.

That Nesmith injury changed everything man

Was one of my two favorite living comic book writers. His Supergirl is my favorite long run on a single book by any writer ever.

Former Ohio State and Penn State wide receiver Julian Fleming is in critical condition and Alyssa Boyd, believed to have been his girlfriend, was killed when an ATV he was driving hit a deer. Utterly awful news.

I don't think it's a surprise that OKC is dominating the Timberwolves given that they went through a tough series with Denver and the T-Wolves have faced little resistance thus far. It's crazy how good OKC are at forcing turnovers and turning them into fast break points. A Pacers/OKC final might break points scoring records.
I think the Thunder defense is way too good for scoring records to be in jeopardy. Adjusted for era and pace, it's legit one of the greatest NBA history.

The playoffs this year will be seeded by rank. Still the top five conference champions get in, but the top four no longer automatically get the byes.

The one player per country is REALLY gonna piss people off because Justin Jefferson is already the US rep (I guess technically Jefferson could decide not to play but that would be really really awkward if he didn't)
It's one player per NFL team per country. So nobody else from Minnesota can play for Team USA, but guys from the other 31 teams can. And if Minnesota has anyone who can, a Viking could play for a different country. They just aren't letting a country (USA) load up the roster with a bunch of guys from one team.

All-time teams are 4-1702 in the playoffs when trailing by 7+ with under 50 seconds to play.
3 of the 4 wins are Indiana this year.
And wouldn't the other one be the famous Miller game in 94?
-
I thought the third quarter explosion in the last 7 minutes by OKC was nuts, much less what the Pacers did.

We know ESPN has been paying over $500 million and wanted to renegotiate down to $200 million, and the report also says NBC is offering a lot less than ESPN has been paying.
So baseball is the one sport that isn't getting escalating rights, or the rights bubble is popping before our eyes in real time.

AND SPEAKING OF THE BILLS....
Apparently they were one of the teams who were pushing the hardest to ban the Push. And they may be most responsible for it staying, because all 3 AFC East teams voted against the ban.
That's bizarre as hell. The Bills and Eagles over the last three years have combined to run the tush push more often than the other thirty teams in the NFL combined. They are far and away the two teams that use it the most, and the best.

2025 NBA OFFSEASON
in BASKETBALL

Who is available that is really good at developing bench players into decent rotation pieces? Because the Knicks bench kinda sucks, and Thibs was the absolute worst guy to improve the players there. Their starters finished 1st, 3rd, 5th, 14th, and 20th in minutes per game this year.
