The Red Sox didn’t become the Red Sox until 1907 though.  1901-1906 they were the Boston Americans.  The Americans adopted the Red Sox name because the Braves in 1906 changed their uniforms and stopped using red socks.

Yeah, I’m willing to accept that Gina was simply wrong but whenever someone puts up a chart or statistics, I keep expecting information from SAG breaking down the compensation of all working actors - not “Sofia Vergara.” That’s like saying America stopped being racist in 2008 because “Barack Obama.”

You are indeed!

Reading through this, I kept seeing statements that the overall averages are not applicable to Hollywood (which, duh, any specific industry will vary from the overall average in some way) and that Rodriguez was wrong about the pay gap but nothing proving she was wrong. The link saying it’s “simply untrue” goes to some…

Plus a sample size of 10 isn’t large enough to be statistically significant.  Can’t generalize from exceptions.

Okay, to be honest, the evidence used in this reporting continues to confuse the hell out of me. The twitter link this article provides to argue that Rodriguez is wrong about her claims about Latin actresses does not actually prove anything of the sort. It actually just theorizes that her claim is based on a…

There’s a lot of gossip (the currency of Hollywood) that Singer has enough photo evidence on enough powerful people to bring the entire place down, so he’s been pretty untouchable. I have absolutely no idea if this is true, but  considering how not subtle he is, there’s got to be something he’s holding.

He is connected to some very powerful people.

I’m still wondering how that fucker Dan Schneider hasn’t been hung out to dry in public. Losing his job is not enough if even a tenth of the rumors are true. 

By the way, that film ends with Brad Renfro’s character blackmailing a man into silence by threatening to tell people he is gay and a pedophile. In the book, Renfro’s character shoots the guy instead.

How has Bryan Singer skated by for so long? He is well overdue for his Weinstein/Spacey moment.

And we all wonder what happened to Brad Renfro. Who was the underage star of Apt Pupil.

Oh, holy shit, there’s a lot to unpack here.

Because it wasn’t a move with the Oilers, the fact that he traded away Seguin for less-than-magical beans is being overlooked here.

You have an identical twin, Rami! Blame it on him! What’s the point in a doppelgänger if you can’t pin your mistakes on them? 

“Most importantly, all of this remains both rude and disrespectful to Chiitan I, considering that she remains out of a job through no fault of her own.”

It’s because of the luxury tax. Since Houston’s over the luxury tax threshold, having Melon on the roster costs the Rockets both his salary and luxury tax penalty, even if they waive him. The Bulls are under the luxury tax threshold, so having Melo on the roster only costs them his salary.

So if the combined salary and …

This is probably a joke, but in the event that it is not, you should call this number: 1-800-273-8255 

Best Tony prediction of the night had to have been “If Andy Reid is smart, he’ll call the timeout here”

I think it was that throw to Gronk down the sideline where he noted, “If the safety steps up, he’s going to Gronk one-on-one.” I immediately was staring at that safety, saw him step up, and I was like, “Here it comes.”
