What about "Cold in July"? I heard great things and thought I'd see it here...

Live Twirl: I appreciate you're articulating your views without snark, name-calling, etc. I'll try to do the same, but I feel very strongly about this issue. I'm a straight guy, married with a daughter, and I cannot fathom why anyone gives a fuck about who marries whom. Seriously, I have absolutely no clue why anyone…

Wow, that was phenomenal. Really well done.

SPOILERSPOILERYSPOILERZ: But there was no Yellow King, was there? I hate to be one of "those people," but the show's ending was really a disappointment. (That long-ass tracking scene, however — that was amazing.)

I would argue that Michael Madsen's performance in Thelma & Louise was pretty decent.

Excellent story — great job. I didn't grow up a Tony Gwynn fan, but your story made me appreciate him and wish I'd followed him more closely.

You can't even appreciate this, you have to crap on Olbermann? Man, the Internet is made for people like you.

I haven't been following, so can someone tell me how the Rays are so awful this year? Several people — i.e., Jayson Stark, for starters — picked them to make it to the WS. I'd think they'd turn it around to a certain extent, no?

I ran track and cross-country for all years of HS and college. The only race I didn't finish — the steeplechase my senior year. I cramped up so bad I could barely breathe — it didn't help that everyone was gathered at the water hazard to laugh at us. The steeplechase is the rubber chicken of the track world. Fuck that…

Just keep repeating, "KrisBryantKrisBryantKrisBryantKrisBryantKrisBryant..." It's gotten me through many a cold, lonely evening.

As a Cubs fan, I don't know that you can lump Epstein in that group. Actually, I don't know that you can say Ainge isn't good at a rebuild, either — don't the Celtics have about 5,000 first-round picks over the next few years?

White sounds like a jag, and The Black Keys' "Chulahoma" trumps anything he's ever done. At least Dan Auerbach never sucker-punched a dude and beat the absolute eff out of someone lying defenseless on the ground.

While I don't admire his histrionics, I respect Suarez's ability. I also admire the team's ability to combine a strong offense with a patient, meticulous game.But must of all, this:

That's a good point. Years ago, the Bulls beat some team like the Bobcats by, like, 40 points. It was over halfway through the second quarter. Afterwards, Thibs grumbled, "Well, we played ok, but we need to work on our screen-roll defense, our outlet passes weren't on-target, etc etc." Jonathan Hood, Chicago…

I don't agree. The Thunder has better talent than the Spurs and got waxed. The Heat don't just have overwhelming talent — they have one of the greatest players in the history of the game and a first-ballot SG and still almost lost last year. Living in Chicago, I see what difference a great coach makes — the Bulls have…

Kind of the opposite problem the Bulls have: Chicago has a brilliant coach with meh talent. Clearly a good coach could put the Thunder over the top, but it would have to be someone with a crazy-strong personality to tamp down Westbrook's out-of-control personality* while also bringing out more of the assassin in…

James Woods has dome some phenomenal work (Salvador, Casino, Nixon, and of course, The Simpsons). Alas, on Twitter, he's descended into far right madness. Way gone.

I think I know where you were going here: a too-small stadium that can't hold a Super Bowl or final four, is an architectural disaster, and was stripped of its national historic landmark status anyway. Am I on the right track?

Couldn't agree more. There was a chance to build somewhere else — I want to say the West Loop — but he didn't. Why? Maybe it was a historical nod to stay close to the old Cominskeys, but that's likely giving him an element of humanity he doesn't have and is more due to cheaper land.
