That match is so much fun.

Really want to see this!

Mr. Throwback on Peacock featuring Steph Curry is really funny, had a few needed to pause it due to laughing so hard.

His show never felt exploitive towards guests like early Oprah, Geraldo, Sally Jesse, Maury and Springer, nor did he trot out snake oil salesmen like later Oprah and her copycats. He would also would freak out the squares by doing shows about Club Kids and having 2 Live Crew perform.

I probably watched way too much Donahue as a kid, it was really good and when I fell down a rabbit hole of old episodes a few years ago it still held up. Also, watched his MSNBC show in the early 2000's, the one GE fired him from due to his anti Iraq War build up views.

He’s going to be on an oxygen tank like the gangsters at the end of Casino.

Kind of remember it, Bob Costas was supposed to be a part of this but bailed due to the exploitation of the Gulf War.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Nixon's resignation I rented Dick the 1999 comedy directed by Andrew Fleming. Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams were hysterical in this, really wish this was some kind of hit so they'd get paired up again. I said this previously, Dan Hedaya's Nixon is one of the best ever put on film, there's a scene where Nixon realizes the girls know too much and he turns against them, Hedaya is able to go from silly satirical Nixon to evil Nixon seamlessly. It's weird to see Will Ferrell be constrained in his scenes as Bob Woodward since he's teamed with with Bruce McCulloch who's doing his Dustin Hoffman as Carl Bernstein impression.

Ferris was a reflection of the 80's yuppie attitude, which shouldn't shock anyone since John Hughes was the ultimate yuppie. Another thing I realized about a lot of Hughes movies as an adult is that he really punches down on working class people.

This! I’ve worked in my share of toxic workplaces and from everything I’ve read the past few years AEW is a toxic workplace. MJF not getting any kind of punishment for escalating the situation is par for the course in toxic workplaces, especially when the other party is a female.

Spin the wheel, make the deal! In the Team Judo final!

Kayak Cross which is on right now is my new favorite sport.

You have to play in a certain amount of sanctioned 3x3 events to qualify for the Olympics, assuming those conflict with the NBA, G League and NCAA seasons.

Did he walk in with a bag of gold coins or ingots?

South Sudan covers the spread!

I didn't realize New Jersey had legal weed, kind of surprised by that since they have such arcane laws when it comes to alcohol sales.

I remember it being pretty bad, mainly due to how much Robert "Aril$$" Wuhl is in it.

Shouldn’t Friends be up by Central Park? Totally thinking that because they hung out at Central Perk.

Breaking Away is a Peter Yates film and is one of the best flicks of the 70's. I remember seeing The Last Detail when I was in high school, caught it about halfway through, realized it was good then busted out the cable guide to see when it was on again so I could watch it start to finish. In that timeframe Encore had just popped up on our cable system and ran tons of great 70's flicks, The Last Detail, Going in Style, Rollerball and California Split, then obscure comedies like The Big Bus and Fast Break.

Just finished up watching this last night, very good and co-sign that it doesn't really make you feel sympathetic for Rose, but the whole Commissioners saying "we have no control over what the HOF does" and the HOF changing the rules back in the day specifically to keep Rose out is a shitty situation. I've always wondered if Rose self-sabotaged some of his reinstatement attempts due to all the money and press he gets for not being in the HOF. The "Bart Giamatti died because of the decision he had to make about Rose" take is really shitty and kind of evil, when I realized he was 51 when he did it really surprised me, I always thought he was pushing 70.

The refs in this Greece-Canada basketball game are horrible.

Gold Zone on Peacock is cool, even with Chris Collinsworth’s kid as one of the hosts.

The only non-boomers who saw The Big Chill in the theater were dragged there because the their parents didn’t want to pay a babysitter.

Nice that France is playing up one of things they’re most famous for, the menage a trois!

When is Assassin’s Creed: Paris Olympics coming out?
