Miller’s Crossing is 35. Albert Finney had such a good time making Miller’s Crossing that he turned up on his day off to appear in drag when Gabriel Byrne bursts into the ladies room.

Speaker's fielding achievements are even more remarkable if you've ever walked around center field at League Park. There's a LOT of green out there, especially for someone who liked to play as a fifth infielder, like Speaker did.

BROWNIES!

My survivor pool rule: I never pick the #Browns game. I was sorely tempted to pick the #Packers this week, but stuck to my rule. (Picked the #Bills on Thursday.)

Yeah, normally it should be the other team scoring 13 points in the 4th quarter.

FINAL: WHAT THE F**K?!?

lmao incredible, god bless you, browns

Go me!

Man, the book on Bill’s UNC years will be bonkers.

Many years ago, I was watching a Bengals-Browns game with Chuck. We had pretty much just sat down when Andy Dalton threw a pick-six to Joe Haden. Chuck said, "Glad he got that out of the way early."

And for every story like this, there are HUNDREDS of journalists who were scrupulously honest and good at their jobs, but got forced out of the industry by lousy wages, sadistic bosses or staffing cuts to raise the stock price.

GOODFELLAS was released 35 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great Hollywood gangster movies and among the most popular films of director Martin Scorsese, the story of how it was made will have you carrying Henry Hill’s mother’s groceries all the way home… 1/56

My daughter's in algebra. She's solving for X. I might have said, "X gon' give it to ya!" She stared blankly. I expect that from a middle schooler. But my WIFE did too!

Hank Thompson was a talented and pioneering ballplayer, but where Jackie Robinson turned the other cheek, Thompson carried a gun. defector.com/hank-thompso...

what the hell is a block chain

All the President’s Men, Three Days of the Condor, The Candidate, Quiz Show, The Winter Soldier. You could do a course on American media and politics through Redford’s work

My favorite part of this is that the Browns absolutely SWINDLED the Colts for a first-round pick ... which they then used on Johnny Manziel.

I liked when the ugly late night drama was Jay Leno hiding in a closet.

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.

My favorite nugget about McCarthy's downfall is that he hired Edward Bennett Williams as his lawyer in his censure hearing. Shortly after that, Frank Costello was looking for a lawyer. EBW was recommended, but A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE MAFIA was unsure abt hiring someone associated with Joe McCarthy.

The story behind Pudge the cat is more than just about a viral locker-room mascot at Bowling Green: He was a gift from a mom with Stage 4 cancer for her son and helped her son rediscover joy after her death. Even Eddie George, allergic to cats, has been smitten. www.espn.com/college-foot...

As a reminder, if you'd like to review the book, just shoot me a DM or an email (my address is in my bio).

if you have infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters one of them will eventually produce the entire works of shakespeare. but you don't have that kind of start up capital. start with 10 monkeys writing steven king's Christine. soon you'll be turning a profit and can start scaling your monkeys

I'm old enough to remember when Bill Clinton was depicted as a waffle in "Doonesbury."

The next stop on the Vince Guerrieri Speaking Tour is next month at my alma mater. The late, great Joe Boyle (whom I met at BGSU) is being recognized for his book "Toledo's War," and I will talk about it -- because I will never tire of talking about Joe. events.bgsu.edu/event/tellin...

Eventually, all things merge into one and a river runs through it.The river was cut by the world’s great floods and runs over rocks from the basement of time.On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops.Under the rocks are the words.And some of the words are theirs.I am haunted by waters. -N.

My favorite moment around this movie was the Mad Magazine Movie Parody, where Demi Moore says, "Wow, that's a great white suit!" and he says, "Thanks, I wore it in 'The Great Gatsby,' but nobody saw that movie."

RIP, Robert Redford. Love your films, but Twilight Zone fans will always toast your sweet turn as Mr. Death. May you be welcomed just as warmly. "I don't prefer to look back at my earliest efforts, but I have to admit I'm proud of that one." — Redford on "Nothing in the Dark"

Someone asked me recently about all the things that go unreported -- and thus unarchived -- with the state of journalism being what it is right now. I described it, without hyperbole, I think, as armageddon for historians.

RIP Robert Redford, everyone should watch The Sting

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

"The Natural" is one of my favorite movies ever. It's a baseball movie. It's a love story. And no line has hit me at a formative age and guided me more than when Roy Hobbs' father told him "You have a gift. But it isn't enough. If you rely too much on it, you'll fail." variety.com/2025/film/ne...
