Comeback “Player” Of The Year?
I’m particularly gratified these days when people are genuinely surprised when they find out my actual age. I take particular pride in how I’ve been able to physically retool myself enough that the photograph on my driver’s license, now nearly a decade old, looks absolutely nothing like how I do now and people–even the most
The Master Mensch Of Child’s Play
I’m at a life stage where unfortunately when I get private outreaches from friends/fans it often isn’t good news. It’s not that we necessarily obsess about death per se; it’s just the reality that many of the folks who helped shaped our career paths and in many cases were directly responsible for the quality of
Shouldn’t Making Original Television Be As Easy As ABC?
It hasn’t exactly been a bellweather season so far for ABC, even by the minimalist standards one needs to apply to broadcast television in this day and age. A quick glance at a season-to-date ranker dropped last month by TV LINE’s Matt Webb Mitovich reveals that the Alphabet network (there’s your token reference worthy of
The Best Man For The Worst Job?
My heart truly goes out to the rank and file of what remains of Paramount Global during this holiday season, and it sure appears that a lot less of it will exist once we enter the New Year. THE WRAP’s chief deep diver Lucas Manfredi dropped this dour update yesterday on the progress of the
What Is Cost-Efficient?
It’s not easy to fathom that there’s been sort of an austerity movement at an outlet like Prime Video, especially at a time of year when those Amazon Prime members are getting their money’s worth from those annual subscriptions. But since outside of NFL games we haven’t seen a peep of bravado lately for anything
One More Alternative For Giving Tuesday
It’s Giving Tuesday, not that you didn’t already know that. If your inbox and alerts are configured like mine, you’ve probably received well over a dozen emails and texts pointing you to noble causes and reminding you that while you’ve recently been in the midst of spending for you and your immediate loved ones over
Family Matters
How apropos–or perhaps ironic–that over a holiday weekend where I’m told people were spending time with family members (not in my case, mind you) that the breaking news alerts that popped up most frequently involved politicians and their respective family members. Perhaps the noisiest was the one that happened yesterday that CNN’s duo of Marshall
She Got The Right To Lose
In slightly more normal times a Group of Five conference tournament for a secondary women’s sport would be wholly unworthy of any sort of spotlight. The Mountain West Conference women’s volleyball tournament final that was held yesterday wasn’t even worthy of a tile on ESPN+, and the report from a local beat writer, Kevin Lytle
We Love Them. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
The joke I used to try to tell in order to determine how generationally disparate people were was to ask them to describe Paul McCartney. No matter how they’d respond, I’d always quip “We would have been in trouble if I would have had to remind you that he was in band before WINGS. We
