If baseball is truly looking for a way to spice up the sport for the new generation, forcing teams to rotate players through all 9 positions should be on the table.

Yep. The bulldozed a 5,000 seat, brand new velodrome to make way for a 5,000 seat, brand new velodrome. Because #Olympics.

The supreme irony here is that Brazil had a 5,000 seat velodrome that was built in 2007. It was plenty good enough to host world class racing. But the not even decade old Barra velodrome was demolished in the run-up to the 2016 Olympics to make way for...the Olympic velodrome.

But at least keep making weirdass mascots.

Dear IOC,

I’m a very smiley person, smile all of the time, at strangers, etc. (my passport photo was only rejected because I wasn’t smiling but my “face is too naturally smiley”). And this pisses me off in the reverse. I hate when random men comment on my nice smile, and how nice it is to see a woman who smiles. It’s weird and…

As someone up thread alluded to - I wonder if he tried to pull a “let’s get together after hours to look at the dailies and talk about the film” (i.e. get you alone, try to get in your pants)... and ... being a woman with 20+ years in the industry she had the sense to make sure she brought someone with her (an agent,…

Oh yeah I forgot she was acting as a kid! I was thinking from 2001/Bend it Like Beckham kinda era, but of course she was in quite a bit of stuff before then.. and in Bend it like Beckham she was 16/17 so she’s been working longer than I estimated! So to have that wonderful and successful career and some asshole refer…

That’s a rough looking 43/44. I had no idea he was that age. I would have pegged him at 55 or so from the picture.

I’ve never been a fan of KK (no real justifiable reason) but I’ll always defend her performances. She’s a proper actor with a couple of decades of experience and a load of awards and nominations. To dismiss her as a supermodel, in the same breath a celebrating the ‘proper’ acting of Adam Levine? Yeah dude, your…

Anything’s possible, but when someone goes off on a rant about a coworker completely unprompted during an interview it usually says more about the speaker than it does about the subject of the rant. Especially when several other directors, including big names like David Cronenberg, have vouched for Knightley’s…

Supermodel? She's an actress first and foremost, correct? Adam Levine is the non-actor.

I’m sure it’s only coincidence that white men complain more often about how spoiled/moody/hard to work with people who are not white & male are.

This interview us just ugh. The interviewer never actually even asks anything about Keira Knightly, Carney just keeps bringing it up, on the first question even. It really smacks of someone who didn’t get the attention he thought he should get from his female star.

Duana at Lainey has a great take on all this: http://www.laineygossip.com/Keira-Knightle…

Which would make sense for the first parts of what he said.

Her in Love Actually. When watching the wedding video. Her eyes. HER EYES.

Keira Knightley > Adam Levine, and I think Keira Knightely is terrible. But c’mon. Someone who trashes her so roundly while praising that overrated hack so highly is probably just a dick who has a very skewed view of what is acceptable from men vs women.

What a condescending douchebag. It’s worth noting that several other directors who have worked with Knightley defended her on Twitter, so he seems to be the one with the problem.

I don’t want to rubbish Keira,
