Oh sure. I have no doubt they had to sign an agreement to film there; heck, I wouldn’t be shocked that the Russian govt had approval rights before it was broadcast.

Nope.

I also like how there are repeated, elbow-in-the-ribs references to how Stalin was worried about assassination (e.g., bullet-proof couch! 2-foot thick walls! no carpets on the floor so he could hear who was approaching!) without any mention, not even briefly, of why he was so worried about trying to be killed.

They did…

Heck, it started poorly before it got to the Russian Access Hollywood type guy.

Rob Stone didn’t exactly cover himself with glory saying “...of Russia’s most polarizing figure.”

Now. I recognize that *within* Russia, Uncle Joe still has a fan base (e.g., those who want Russia to return to its “glorious” past) along…

To be specific about Harbaugh, he is a passionate advocate about the crisis in legal aid and how without this aid, there is not equal access to our justice system.

It seems like every other month, he is speaking to some group or fundraiser about it, or makes a trip to support the Legal Services Corporation’s Leaders…

He’s also a completely overrated football coach.

His offensive system is/was truly innovative, and for that he has made his place in football history (considering all the assistants and acolytes who have gone on to use his system, to great effect, elsewhere).

But being a head football coach requires more than offense;…

I’m just here for all the times everyone hated on my Bad Boy Pistons over the years and supported these MAGA-loving Celtics team. All those people who showed GIFs, with glee, Robert Parish punching out Bill Laimbeer, DJ stealing the ball from Isiah. Now, people will see that the Pistons...

(remembers Dennis Rodman…

The Democrats would be wise to focus on these type of attacks by Trump (mocking the disabled reporter) and Lewandoski, as there are plenty of voters on both sides who have disabled or physically limited kids/relatives.

Hillary did have a couple ads that highlighted Trump making fun of the reporter, but it was in the…

None of the parents were hurt—minus one kick, nobody appeared to land any blows

Didn’t this same group just have a Southern, cargo-panted, shirt optional fight at a charity cornhole tournament?

Just remember, Michigan only got the U.P. b/c we had to give up Toledo and Maumee after the “Toledo War” of 1835-1836.

And yes, Michigan had a 23-year old governor at the time, who got removed from his post because Andrew Jackson (!) found him too hotheaded.

It’s mind-boggling. I had to re-read this twice, b/c I’m like “Wait...the JR Smith game happened well AFTER the Sterling Brown arrest tape was released. Right? What the hell is wrong with this cop?”

Is it just stupidity? Is it being a sociopath? Having some sort of other condition?

Or most likely, just that cops like…

I just read a book on the making of Caddyshack (fun book — easy read; learned some interesting stuff about the history of the Harvard/National Lampoon and how damaged Doug Kenney was) and there was great quote from Chevy Chase (who grew up rich, in Manhattan) in it:

“I’ve never gone for golf; I was more of a tennis…

What a bummer!

- Going from 4 times a week to 1 time a week isn’t great for their style, which often responds to the previous day’s events. I really liked their PTI meets the Soup meets Bronx urban/black/Lation street corner setup. They are also good interviewers, particularly Desus.

- Showtime obviously costs…

Hey, a (small, tiny) win for the good guys and hopefully a wakeup call for MBCock & co who think the AP should just be a stenographer for a President (or any politician) who lies like he breathes.

White culture is nothing if not extra, extra safe.

This helps explain why, when I was in Houston last month, I was in a “walkable” area (the Galleria), yet the good folks doing road construction not only tore up the road, they also tore up the sidewalk (I assume to fix curbs and/or utilities)....and didn’t take one second to give walker an alternate route. It was…

Yes, aside from the excessively (to me) dark blue/brown patina the first 20 or so minutes had (I was literally worried if the whole movie was going to be like that, I wouldn’t be able to really see what was going on) the movie looked fantastic.

I didn’t really think of it at the time, but it clearly all the practical…

Why should I feel bad for this school? They are recruiting from out of state (indeed, out of the country) for players and both coaches. Fine.

If you want to BE a nationwide school, go PLAY a nationwide schedule, starting with schools like IMG.

There’s no rule—legal or ethical—that schools in your ZIP code that don’t…

This is one of the (rare?) cases where the movie is better than the book — and I like Elmore Leonard.

The movie works on *every* level: stars (Clooney and Lopez are both magnetic, for the audience and towards each other); the supporting cast is ridiculously deep (beyond those mentioned in the comments, I’d add Ving…
