Can someone tell me why EVERY FIFA executive and EVERY ex-player shown on TV wore the same exact suit. Thinking they might be kicking back to Men's Warehouse. Just one of many examples.

Alleged to have been spoken by Bette Davis I was raised to never say anything bad about the dead, only Good. So- Joan Crawford is dead?.... Good.

Just wish EVERY Dem would refer to him as "President Vagina Neck". It would destroy him. You know, if the tables were turned, that's what MAGA would do.

RE: Stallone For a very brief time, 30+ years ago, Ron Reagan Jr. had a weekly show where one segment was "Heroes and Zeroes of the Week". Once, Stallone was the Zero. Forget what he did but I remember this because that week, I was the Hero Tainted my 7 1/2 minutes of fame. Fuck Sylvester Stallone

RE Kiss. One of the saddest things I've ever seen on TV. The great Henry Rollins had a show, half talk, half music. Like most punk rockers, Henry was enamored with Kiss and had Gene Simmons on to chat. All Henry's idol wanted to talk about was $$. Henry was crestfallen Fuck Gene Simmons

What else do Trump, Musk, Sarah Palin and Sydney Sweeney have in common? They have all hosted SNL. Canadians should consider Lorne Michaels their enemy of the state.

One more thread to follow in the Epstein saga. Guess who was in charge of the "prestigious" Dalton School when Epstein, without a college degree, was hired to teach there. It was Bill Barr's father.

An NBA observation. What do Curry, LeBron, KD, AD, Embid, Jrue , Tatum and Haliburton have in common? All played on the 2024 Olympic team and either missed considerable time or had their season end due to injuries. TOO MUCH HOOPS? Can't be coincidence.

I know injuries occur in all sports, BUT....will someone please make the connection between NBA stars playing in the Olympics and then being injured the following season. ONE HALF of our men's team lost playing time this year. Steph and Tatum being the latest.

As one of the first 10 or so employees of Ticketmaster (way before they turned into the Evil Empire), it's hard to express how much this saddens and sickens me. www.ticketnews.com/2025/04/live...

I wish all who celebrate a happy holiday. As a non-Christian, do I have this right? Jesus was crucified on Good Friday. He rose from his grave on Easter Sunday, Saw his shadow so it's 6 weeks til the NBA finals.

Screw the Wolf Blitzers of the world and screw the CNN/NY Times both siders. The only 2 "mass media" journalists who are telling us the truth are @steveliesman.bsky.social and @carlquintanilla.bsky.social- both, go figure, are at CNBC. Props to them

A shout-out for Junior Bridgeman. Going from being included in the trade that brought Kareem to LA to having, possibly, the greatest post-playing career of any pro athlete ever. RIP Mr. Bridgeman.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show: They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.” Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag… Made in Nicaragua. They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee. Legendary.

A tip of the hat to Carl Quintanilla. @carlquintanilla.bsky.social I'm blown away that he is still employed at CNBC. He's the only one in the Comcast world who seems to be telling the truth without fear of reprisals. Unlike say Rachel Maddow who told us Joy Reid left on her own accord.

An amazing episode of "Paradise" last night. I couldn't stop imagining how it would play out with the current guy in the White House. Think he would spend Earth's final day selling seats on Air Force 1 for 100 million $ a pop

All workers, be they writers, musicians or cab drivers, should be paid for their work. BUT (there's always a "BUT") when links to a story on social media are behind a paywall, my first thought is "fishing for subscribers". Which is why I have no problem recommending archive.ph

How long until Stan Van Gundy gets sacked by the Warner bros? After what he said last night, don't think we will see him next season and that sucks. “I’ve gotta tell you, Brian. I’m a big Kamala Harris fan but I wish she wasn’t here tonight.” SVG last night

With the exception of football, I love all sports. And, I can't tell you how happy I am that all the sports headlines during the week leading up to Super Bowl Sunday is about.......the NBA. Just wish the trade deadline was Saturday and not tomorrow.

With the signing of Roki Sasaki the Los Angeles Dodgers should change their name to the Oligarchs and be known as the "O's" (sorry Baltimore). They are doing to baseball what the other "O's" are doing to the free world.
