Lot of stupid names out there in Young Adult fantasy (Wicked is Old Young Adult Musical Theater fantasy?) but Wicked really gives Hunger Games a run for its money. Plutarch Heavensbee is thought to beat though.

@samskinyc.bsky.social love your weekly column- having a D/ST crisis of conscience! Choosing between Browns and Raiders (Bears also just became available on waivers). Browns ranked higher everywhere but… doesn’t the Sanders factor, Browns as road dogs tip to Raiders?

I always have time for Linklater. Helps to do your cinephile homework for this one (400 Blows and Breathless, at least).
A ★★★½ review of Nouvelle Vague (2025)
Linklater is locked into something with his two concurrent releases, Nouvelle Vague and Blue Moon.  Artist on the rise, artist in decline and the scenes they thrive or used to thrive in.  Blue Moon is...

Edinson Volquez is the rare MLBer with ten years of service not to make the MLB Hall of Fame ballot and no one is mad online about it…

… would have been cool to have Josh Hamilton in CF for those contending early ‘10s teams.

Joe Flacco has the highest TD% in bengals history for passes with over 9 attempts. His 12th TD toes Sam Wyche for 14th on the all time list

Bengals 41-71 against Steelers all-time, including two playoff losses where I blacked out. 19-36 in Pittsburgh.

They went 0 for the 70s in Pitt, losing their first 10 road games in the series.

So 19-26 since 1980 not so bad.

Denis’s smallest film, at least since his Prisoners breakout. Content as mildly intriguing doppelgänger creeper with hints of unexplored depth. A climax that’s supposed to make you theorize, I guess, but I don’t really feel like it.

Just up looking at George Blanda’s 1962 game long on pro-football reference. He threw 42 interceptions for an 11-3 Oilers AFL squad.

They won a game when he threw 1 TD and 6 INTs.

Fun.

You know, it’s fine but such a weird tangent in modern franchise building.

It’s the soft reboot approach they already did with the Jaden Smith 2010 version. Borrow the name, formula, get back to the roots…

What MCU phase will they introduce Frankenstien’s creature into the Avengers? Does Ruffalo need a break?

Sorry, this is a much more brooding cinematic entry than Marvel would allow but still hard not to think of Hulk, Wolverine, Captain America as our new friend struts his stuff.

Splitting the childhood and return to Derry into two separate chapters surely helped the focus of the first chapter but really kills the sequel.

Thanks to @immaculategrid.com wanderings I found out Davey Johnson, who I really only knew as a manager, hit 43 home runs for Atlanta in 1973, age 30. He had 66 across 8 years and 995 games to that point with season high of 18. He had 27 more left for his career.

That’s some Brady Anderson shit.

Hey the Bengals are just one game behind the eventual AFC North champs and still play them twice 🤷🏻‍♀️

Simply put- Fuck yes Scorigami

FINAL

✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1094th unique final score in NFL history.

SPORTS PREDICTION- Bengals will have winning AFC North record for first time since 2021 (regular season) and losing NFL record for first time since 2020.

The parody genre was left for dead a long time ago. Neeson’s turn is more funny that not, and Paul Walter Houser always delivers.

The alternate reality Bengals season where Flacco saved a playoff run sure would be spicy.

There aren’t two Reds Hall of Famers on their modern ballot, in my opinion.

Brandon Phillips gets slam dunk status and will be fun to celebrate even if he wasn’t my favorite with local media…

Guessing Rolen gets the next spot as an MLB Hall of Famer and biggest name.
