    5 things I know, fast pitch version:~HEART OF THE BEAST is my favorite movie since PIG. I’ve seen it twice and will again before the movies leaves theaters. The movie hits like Tyson, celebrates the relationship between a dog and human better than any movie before, and features Oscar worthy work from Brad Pitt (no bullshit) and a wonderful German Shepherd. If dogs got awards, Uber’s portrayal of Odin would have it locked up tonight. ~If you don’t see the 2026 season by the St. Louis Cardinals as

    Who says you can’t do two things at once? With the rebuild through year one with a 77-85 record that saw many bright spots before a second half crash, a chance for some pure excitement comes in the form of the unexpected. Let me be clear before this goes any further: Chaim Bloom probably won’t do this. It goes against the idea of a stripped down rebuild, and would take the spot from another young starter.

Now that I’ve asked you a question to begin this article, how about you return the favor and ask me something. Ground rules are there aren’t many. Sports and entertainment topics. Random inquiries. Personal stuff. Ask me whatever and I’ll do my best to answer or give you one more reason to be a longtime reader and never again caller. Answering question is a fun way to turn the mind off from

    Dane Cook’s advice to the viewer in the very first scene is important: “Sign your own checks!”What if the person who you believed was a father figure and someone you pulled out of a dangerous profession was the same person who ultimately betrayed you in the worst way possible? What if the person who believed in you enough to talk you back into pursuing comedy was the exact person who tried to drown you by taking everything? Funny Money, brought to you by the dream team of director Brett Harvey a

    Going to pick up sauceless pizza for my son is hard enough. He’s been around 15 years, and the red sauce doesn’t interest him at all. I ran out of red flags years ago, and stopped calling penalties when I realized I’m the dude who eats uncooked ramen noodles. Everybody has their thing.Subscribe nowThankfully for the pocket book, he has gotten into the cheap pizza graces as of late. $8 for a pizza these days is a steal, and all I have to do is go inside and enter a code into a portal that
