I enjoyed The Big Sick. Especially Ray Romano and Holly Hunter. I've been a fan of hers since Raising Arizona. Not to sound like the film major that I once was, but some actors simply disappear into a role. That's what it was like with Holly Hunter in the Big Sick. Every time she was in a scene - e...

Re: Black Monday
Not Vance Joseph Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, the team started off looking great, then hit a wall and regressed badly. On the other hand, it's not Joseph's fault that John Elway didn't get him better quarterbacks or offensive linemen. Denver was 31st in the league in turnover margin...

Re: What?? Are you drinking?
I’m a big fan of Meiomi. Big and jammy for a Pinot Noir. My wife is not a fan for the same reason - because it is bigger and heavier and more alcoholic than most pinots. (She says, “if I wanted a Zinfandel, I’d drink a Zinfandel, not a Pinot Noir that tastes like a Zin.”)

Re: NFL Week 17 - The Querst To Tie The Worst
A lot of coaches fall flat in their first shot, like McDaniels did. I thought he was far worse at the GM-ing than the coaches, as the Broncos had a really good offense when he was there as far as I can remmeber. Patricia looks good due to the unknown, like a lot of coaches do over a guy like McD. H...
