  3. I quite enjoyed the book, but I think it has adaptation problems in that there's no clear narrative throughline, much less a clear single protagonist or antagonist.  If the network were still under the control of the same people who founded it, maybe you have a story there.

    Anne Hathaway as Stuart Scott.  NPH as Charlie Steiner.

    Shouldn't Craig Kilborn be Craig Kilborn? He strikes me as...available.

  6. The only thing that's a bigger loser than that joke is the Seattle Mariners.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was turned into a feature-length episode of Sports Night.  Can't say I'd be really disappointed, either.

  8. He really showed a lot of range in Old School in portraying a preening, smug asshole.

    I don't know what you're talking about.  The Mariners are currently up 9-2 in the bottom of the 9th and are on the cusp of increasing their current winning streak to 1.

  10. To be fair, as good as the MLB-leading Phillies are right now, they'd still have to go 51-9 the rest of the way to catch the 2001 Mariners.

    I showed up seven hours too late to make this joke.

    Apparently Dan Patrick is going to be on Countdown tonight to cast the movie with Keith.
