Re: Game of Thrones....
Listening to The BS Report from the 7th with Andy Greenwald when he drops 2 notes I didn't even realize: -Jorah's (the blonde dude who has been beside Khaleesi's side since day 1) dad was the Head of the Night's Watch. You think the last name "Mormont" would have made me realize that. -Ar...

Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread
Ray Harryhausen, master of stop-motion special effects. Master of what's rapidly becoming a lost art. People who've grown up entirely within the CGI age will probably never grasp how difficult it was to do what he did with the technology available at the time. Here's a clip from what's probably his...

Re: Jason Collins
Also, Brittany Griner said she was gay two weeks ago and no one gave a shit. I know it's the WNBA, but I'd wager that more people know Brittany Griner than they do Jason Collins. I actually think that the Griner story was underrated. Sure, it's well known that many female athletes are gay, but most...

Jason Collins (not dead)
Gay. I'll separate this from the NBA thread since it's likely to turn into a longer discussion. So this is apparently the Jackie Robinson moment everyone's been waiting for. My reaction: good for him, but still, he's a marginal player nearing the end of his career and there's a strong possibility h...

No link yet, but NBC news running an alert saying he has died.
This sucks. He wrote an article just a few days ago saying he was scaling back his involvement, so was concerned things may have taken a turn for the worse, but didn't expect so soon.
