Mister TV

A lot of people including yours truly hated Paterno before the Sandusky story broke.

Yes, it's a concept album that's mimics a pirate radio station.

An artist being called a sell out for allowing their song to be used in a commercial is such old timey pretentious hippie bullshit, I think Jan Wenner was always the one leading that charge. The Who actually tried to sell commercial time on "The Who Sell Out" since they were broke and had a shitty record deal, every company they asked turned them down.

Garner and Savalas were still high up on the celeb prestige scale when they were doing commercials in the 80's, both had Oscar nominations and both won lead actor Emmy's. I agree it's really weird seeing Jamie Foxx and Ben Affleck shilling gambling apps, but those companies have massive amounts of money to throw around and those commercials are everywhere in states that allow online betting so the residuals are going to be insane.

Liev Schreiber on camera doing commercials doesn't seem odd or weird to me. I'll note that I did grow up with James Garner all over my tv slinging Beef and Polaroid cameras, along with Telly Savalas pimping The Players Club and the Duluth tourist board. If Schreiber was around back then, he'd be a notch or two lower than Rockford and Kojack on the fame and prestige scale.

What legit evidence is there that organized crime in the US was involved in pro wrestling? I’m sure promoters paid a “tax” in arenas located in mobbed up cities but that was rolled into the price of renting the venue, concert promoters had to deal with it too.

They really need to change the “going to another regional game in the early window then sticking to it until the bitter end” rule. There’s no reason the nation should have been forced to watch that Jets-Titans OT.

It’s less the CFL and more that those cities aren’t going to give a team almost a billion US dollars for a stadium.

Haven’t read the review but they’re way way way off.

Ted Lasso!

The Stern show did things like all the time, he'd be interviewing someone then go "I have so & so on the line, they say you did this or that" then either the in studio person squirmed and tried to talk there way out of it or there was an argument. It was super shitty but there was so much other shitty things going on that it kind of gets lost in the shuffle.

True that the Bears fans are coming from the burbs but the entire highway and public transit system if built for getting from burb to city and then back again, not burb to burb. In Detroit when the Lions played in Pontiac and the Pistons played in Auburn Hills it was a pain in the ass for 70% of the fans to get to the stadiums, to me it looks like the same thing would happen with this proposed stadium. I'm sure the Bears are going to sell it as getting a Super Bowl, Final 4 and so on, but aren't the McCaskey's the second cheapest owners in the league? Any kind of roofed or retractable roof stadium is going to up the price big time, are the McCaskey's going to be down for funding any cent of that? I'm sure Arlington Heights is going to throw money at them but even a cash rich burb has a breaking point when it comes to funding, they aren't Las Vegas who was cool with giving the Raiders almost a billion for a stadium.

I know very little about suburban Chicagoland but Arlington Heights seems like it would a massive pain in the ass for most Bears fans to get to.

I'm at the point where I'd be fine with a 5-12 season, getting a top 10 draft pick and sending Ben adrift on a raft down the Ohio River. Not sure what the draft will look like QB wise but if it's weak at the top take O Lineman and grab Pitt's Kenny Pickett early in the 2nd.

Peacock - The Saved By The Bell reboot and Rutherford Falls were both good and Girls 5 Eva was great. None of the dramas on Peacock seem interesting to me. Apple TV+ - Mythic Quest is really good, the first season of The Morning Show was good(second season just started), For All Mankind is a great concept but ended up not being a good show and the end of the second season was DUMB!!!!!!, Physical has been on my list but haven't started yet. Like Peacock the rest of the Apple TV+ shows don't interest me enough to start watching.

Didn’t know that and it’s a really dumb rule. Also, there was a huge delay of game no call on the play before the kick, the Ravens got a huge gift.

Why didn’t they have someone back to try and swat the ball away?

Timeline wise was the Kanyon-Undertaker thing really when Kanyon was coming back after an injury? That was around the time I would only watch occasionally so I never saw it before.

I really hope Pratt and Day don’t try to do Italian accents, if they do I legit hope the people who protested The Sopranos make a stink about it, there’s no way either of them can pull it off without sounding like someone who mocked my grandparents back in the day. Doing degrading accents no matter what kind needs to go away, SNL had done it a lot the past few years, it’s 2021 not 1921.

I'm assuming it would have been the Fed that Bobby Cannavale played, the above could have pulled that off. I'm surprised a producer nixed that since the WWE would promote the hell out of a movie one of their "Superstars" were in, remember how hard they promoted that Highlander flick.

Am I the only person who liked the failed tv show or pilot experiments more than the monster/horror flicks? The Master Ninja experiments are the most remembered of those experiments but San Francisco International, Stranded in Space, Code Name: Diamond Head, and Riding with Death are among my favorite episodes.

Prime had a .99 cents a month for two months of Paramount+ special going on and I jumped on it! While scrolling though the movies they had I saw Not Fade Away listed, I never saw it since Paramount pretty much buried it during its initial release and it never got a life on cable or streaming services, honestly I dug deep into the Paramount+ movie section to find it and I'm glad I did. I went in expecting it to be good since it was written and directed by David Chase and it exceeded my expectations, Chase is a master and even if you never saw The Sopranos you should check out this movie.

Disney basically controls Hulu, they have a 67% stake in it with Comcast owning the other 33%.

The Steelers season is totally dependent on the D staying healthy, sadly they won't:( Missing both Watt and Bush hurts them the most and both are likely to be out a few weeks. As a Steeler fan I'm kind of torn, having a really bad season which leads to a high draft pick to take a QB is appealing, but is there going to be any great QB's in the draft? Then there's the whole appeal of going 9-8 or 10-7 and costing either the Browns or Ravens the division or playoff spot or winning the division with that record(the AFC North isn't that good).
