Yeah, being sold to a viable oprerating company is great, as opposed to a soulless, bloodsucking private equity buyer. We had a company "Town Hall" this morning...it was weird watching our CEO talk about being out of a job next week. But my understanding is that he and the other Senior Le...

So what's the thinking on which game to watch today? Bayern-Arsenal or City-Real Madrid?

Rex - There is already talk of cleaving off football from all of the other conference-centric sports. It's absolutely ridiculous to have field hockey and soccer teams flying across the country to play USC-UCLA (and vice versa, coming out for a long weekend to play MD and Penn State, or whatever).

I had a couple buddies miss the Jeff Kent walk off the '04 NLCS when some random couple was with us started fighting and the guy shoved her. They immediately grabbed him and led him outside before delivering a few blows, then coming back inside to celebrate the HR they missed. When I was in college...

Flew out to Colorado yesterday to see my folks, and watched the Ridley Scott/Joaquin Phoenix "Napoleon" movie (or at least the first half...up to the Austerlitz battle scene). WooBoy, that movie is bad. It looks great, and the battle scenes are good, but the rest of it? Yikes. I've got no ...

Now is as good a time as any to say that Made in America is utterly fantastic. Yes it is... And I remember thinking that the last episode (the post-verdict one, with his weird "Punked" type show, and the story about how he got busted in Vegas for stealing back his own memorabilia) could h...

Such a stupid moment in history. Let's age ourselves, where were you when the verdict came down. I was in 2nd year university and students were huddled around a small tv in the food court.

Love my Hokas Robin sent us the "call sheet" for her first day of shooting. It looks like something from a movie production. Fully story boarded plans for the TV ad they are filming. So...in a few months...be on the look out for a TV ad with her running down a trail chasing a mountain goat.

And in case you are wondering how Arizona ended up with such a conservative Supreme Court: Ducey stacked the Supreme Court.
