I love these movies about beautiful Russians who are turned into assassians. There have been several over the past few years. I read that they are continuing the John Wick series with A Russian ballerina taking over for John Wick. (Remember the ballet school with the dancers with the strange...

Hey EB -News recently reported that YoutubeTV is cutting YES (which carries Yankee and Nets games) and FoxSports networks. Usually when cable threatens to cut sports networks they work out a deal before the start of the season. But Sling TV cut YES last year and it is still gone. Has your mind...

The Guardian posted a list of their favorite stand-up comedy specials (Netflix and others): https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2020/feb/22/streaming-with-laughter-the-50-best-standup-comedy-shows?utm_source=pocket-newtab I never heard of Canadian Katherine Ryan. Will check her out.

Tom Verducci of SI went back and rewatched Game 5 of 2017 World Series (in Houston) where Kershaw gave up 6 runs in less than 5 innings. He said he saw 31 sliders from Kershaw, but not one swing and miss by the Houston hitters. LA lost the game in extra innings. In Game 1 at LA, Kershaw was...

I once had an encounter where the SP used some of the hotel supplied shampoo and soap, and left behind a toonie. I was surprised to see it after she left, because of course there was no need to leave behind any payment at all for what she used. But I was actually touched by such a thoughtful...

sexslave - Thank you for this post. I have been wanting to start a post like this for a long time. Why can't people show kindness to other posters even if you disagree with them? Yesterday I saw this article - 150 Years Ago, a Philosopher Showed Why It’s Pointless to Start Arguments on the...

A nice tribute from the United States Army Band. Neil had fans everywhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAPSK_cV5n0&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1xaHP6EQz3isbgC58YxcSd0ND5MiNtVS1GkJocVF8QlmwoM07wrEAHh5c

C. B. - To continue the clown show scenario and the phony solemnity of the moment, dour Chuck Schumer and happy Kamala Harris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCFhr-nlxKI Is it over? Of course not. Chuck Schumer has a big speech planned to rally the downtrodden Democratic Congress...

I played the APBA board game. Very similar to the strat-0-matic game with individual card sets of all major league players.. Oddly enough, one of my childhood friends still plays the game on-line now. It's like fantasy baseball where you draft players, construct teams, and play against other...

Lol. Jack McDowell claims the White Sox stole signs in the 80's. "Gatorade sign out in right-center had a light, there was a toggle switch in the manager's office and a camera zoomed in on the catcher," McDowell said. "I'm going to whistleblow this now because I'm getting tired of this crap."...

The fallout continues - Beltran out as manager (a "mutual parting of the ways"). Like Belichick - 1 day coaching the NY Jets and Billy Donovan - 1 week coaching the Orlando Magic. No games actually managed/coached. Now MLB can move on to investigating the 2019 ALCS where according to Beltran's...

I don't think Dave Dombrowski was going to work anywhere in MLB in 2020 anyways. He put the Red Sox into cap hell. I believe he was also the Expos GM at one point also. Waiting to see if the Red Sox are getting any penalties as a team like the Astros or will they skate. I still can't...

EB: Those are really good points which none of the talking heads on T.V. or radio sports shows have pointed out. I would have liked to see the Astros stripped of their title, but they really can't because of all the points you made. It's now a paper title only and is tainted. I wonder if the...

The 2017 title will always be tainted. The team will be jeered in every stadium next year as cheaters. But sadly, crime does pay. They made millions of dollars off their World Series title and if you asked the fans, they would probably say that it was worth it if necessay to win the title.

Double wow! Just saw the Cora comment from Manfred: Commissioner Rob Manfred said he was not commenting on Cora’s punishment as the Red Sox are still being investigated for using electronics to steal signs in 2018. “Cora participated in both schemes, and through his active participation...

Wow! Manager and GM for Astros suspended for 1 year and then fired by the Owner for sign stealing. "Houston also forfeits its first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 MLB Drafts as part of the penalties. In addition, the Astros were fined $5 million, which is the highest allowable fine...

Ah, problem solved. An enterprising businesswoman has created a new line of ‘sex-proof’ makeup for sex workers . “A lot of makeups claim they’re long-wearing, and you might be able to get through a cocktail with them, but not a b - - w job or a hot shower,” the 29-year-old creator Lydia Dupra...

"Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere of the movie ["Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"], by the end his date was too old for him. Even Prince Andrew was like 'come on man, you're nearly 50,'" Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCNdTLHZAeo

LOL. Indeed - one man's Heaven may be another man's Hell. This made me think of the novel American Gods (also TV show) where the old gods of mythology (like Odin, Loki, etc.) are slowly being replaced by the new gods of today's society - technology, media, celebrity, drugs and money. So in...
