Laughed so hard at this, my cats sprinted out of the room.

I like how the shootout looked just like the video games. And Stephen Lang was great as Sully.

Please God give us one more Federer-Nadal grand slam final.

I think most pros have some kind of insurance against career-ending injury. Let’s hope so.

The sheriff is a great character. I can’t wait to see what Bernsen does with him.

Huh, that Connors guy was pretty good too, eh?

Your mentioning Garappolo makes me think that when the Jaguars cut Bortles two years from now, Belicheck will scoop him up and somehow turn him into a productive passer and Tom Brady’s heir.

Man, Tony Gwynn. A great player, a good guy, and gone too damn soon.

I had to travel for a relative’s funeral, so I bought my ticket only a day or maybe two before I traveled, and I got selected. It only took about 5 minutes, though. Pat down, check electronics, swab all my bags for residue, and I was good to go.

Man this defies belief. I grew up in Shreveport and they had a CBA team back in the 90s. I think it folded before Isaiah Thomas killed off the CBA. There’s a nice venue across the river in Bossier (Paul McCartney just played there) and I think it would could be set up for basketball. And Shreveport could find a lot…

I dunno, I’m 48, 6'3", and unathletic, and I can still get a couple of fingers over the rim (I’ve never been able to dunk).

You’re right about Sanders, but didn’t Johnson have a lot of injury issues, including concussions?

You must be a lot of fun at parties.

I think it’s worth pointing out that Kyrgios and the other young players are really the second generation since Federer and Nadal came along - the first being the likes of Djokovic and Murray. (Although those two are pretty close to Nadal in age, he was much better when younger.) So how long can these two keep…

Re: the last line of this post - if the NFL agreed to fully guaranteed contracts, then the value of all contracts signed under the new agreement would drop to roughly what’s guaranteed in the current contracts. Any number in a non-guaranteed contract except for the guaranteed portion is fiction. If a player gets any…

I’m not really sure that this is a problem, as long as the player is aware of it when he signs the contract. I think everyone understands now that the guaranteed money is the only part of the deal that really means anything. Signing a player this way doesn’t seem to be a way to cheat him out of another year; the…

My favorite Monfils moment is still the French Open dance-off.

Amelie Mauresmo coached Andy Murray for a while, and he had pretty good success.

Damn. You ruined my “you don’t see a player change positions so late in his career” joke.
