Anderson Cooper's Interview With Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman Was Insane

data-mm-id=”_maiyr51g7″>The Mighty Ducks reboot is really happening. According Discussing Film, the show will begin production early next year and air on Disney+. The only problem with the report is that it makes it sound like the Mighty Ducks won't be the actual focus of the show, which would make them the bad guys? “The series focuses on a 13-year-old boy when he gets kicked off the junior division Mighty Ducks team, his mom decides to start their own team, finding players, a coach, and a place to play. “This just doesn't sound right. A few things that quickly came to mind after reading this description were anti-hero tales like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad and Kobra Kai, which focuses on the grown-up bad guy from the original Karate Kid movie. This would be a weird choice…

data-mm-id=”_qu2y52rgh”>People want their lives back. The financial and social impacts of locking down as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have already been harrowing, which is deeply frightening considering most experts believe we are still in the early stages of learning to live with the virus. Hope springs eternal, though. History and science suggest there is another side with slightly greener pastures that won't in any way resemble the sun-baked field we were enjoying before the dark clouds rolled in. Discussions about how and when to bring sports back into lives are not easy. No one has a crystal ball and the logistical nightmares further unravel if you tug even slightly at a thread. There have been a parade of positive and negative indicators for the future that have either…

data-mm-id=”_2r3xevqkw”>WEEI published a story today that by Andy Hart titled, "Tom Brady Was Right About Coronavirus Fear." The central theme of the column was that Brady was right when he quoted FDR and ignored CDC and league recommended protocols to stop the spread of COVID-19. Why is Boston sports media still carrying the water for Brady's snake oil act? Who knows, but this time it comes as a vessel for the essential truth-telling that coronabros don't want to hear. Hart states multiple times that fear is the worst symptom of coronavirus. This is, of course, dumb. Plenty of people would rather be afraid than have diarrhea or difficulty breathing or vomit or lose their sense of smell or taste for a couple months. Also, ending up in the hospital on a respirator or…

data-mm-id=”_rkjm4tqbk”>Second-year quarterback Gardner Minshew returns to the Jacksonville Jaguars starting lineup on Sunday after the team fully went into tank mode the last three weeks with Mike Glennon under center. But while some ardent supporters will hope for a return of Minshew Mania, the Jaguars' recent decisions have demonstrated they're focused on the crop of talented signal-callers expected to headline the 2021 NFL Draft. With Minshew likely done in Jacksonville after this season, the question becomes where he'll end up next. Thankfully, the answer is quite simple, and catchy. It's Yinzshew Mania time. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in desperate need of a new long-term or stopgap quarterback to join the franchise after this year. Ben Roethlisberger is still…

data-mm-id=”_02vg9m74e”>Bryson DeChambeau, who is undoubtably a big winner in the PGA Tour's feckless decision to abandon their principles, went on CNN Primetime last night to talk about one of the most historic days in the history of golf. At one point, host Kaitlan Collins brought up the elephant in the room that should remain an elephant in the room and not be washed away with a flood of money. She specifically asked about a scathing statement from 9/11 Families United, which alleges "the PGA and Monahan appear to have become just more paid Saudi shills, taking billions of dollars to cleanse the Saudi reputation so that Americans and the world will forget how the Kingdom spent their billions of dollars before 9/11 to fund terrorism, spread their vitriolic hatred of America…

data-mm-id=”_jkgn57zmq”>Pat McAfee's willingness to let Aaron Rodgers' mind wander wherever it wants on ESPN got everybody involved into scalding water on Tuesday. Rodgers, while hitting his favorite topic of conspiracy theories, suggested that Jimmy Kimmel was associated with Jeffrey Epstein on the eve of the release of the names involved in his court case on Wednesday. He, of course, had zero evidence to back that up and just… said it, apparently without thinking of or expecting consequences. Predictably, Kimmel was very displeased about this, called Rodgers "Aashole," and threatened to sue him. This is a problem for everybody because the New York Jets quarterback was on McAfee's show, which is aired by ESPN, which is owned by Disney, which also owns ABC, w…

Even an Olympic gold medal game?Carmelo Anthony certainly thinks so.On his "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast with The Kid Mero, the three-time Olympic gold medalist detailed his impact at the Paris Olympics, where he said he gave timely advice to American players in the United States' 98-87 victory over host France for a fifth-straight Summer Games title."This is really us against the world, and I have to do everything I have to do to give back to this game, to help you win this game," Anthony said.
