Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Disney and Sony come to an agreement that will finally bring the Tom Holland Spiderman movies (and other properties) to Disney+ (and other Disney owned channels).

-  The Network State - How to Start a New Country. This is a very possible scenario. I wonder if you could have dual citizenship and passports?

- Great moment in Boston Bruins history

- Justin Fields tells NFL teams he's managing epilepsy. Let the rumors of him slipping to the Patriots at 15 begin. Personally I'd be more comfortable with a QB with epilepsy than one who's a vegan.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Washington DC Sports (in a nutshell)

- Ringo Starr and Dave Grohl interview each other. Interesting stuff.

- Battleships with frickin' LASERS

- Sony shutting down their PlayStation Vue streaming service. Competition in the streaming video arena getting pretty fierce.

- OK things have gone too far!

- Bob Weir septuagenarian workout nut. Pretty inspirational workout incentive from an unexpected source.

- An Anthony Bourdain documentary is in the works. Can't wait to watch that.

- Awesome (but no way its real)

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Paul Pabst from the Dan Patrick show and others have made this point but in other years the NCAAF Championship game would most likely have been Florida State vs Alabama. Both of the losing teams in this years playoff format... Sony most likely an inside job... I've said this before but if Peyton Manning changed his audible from "Omaha! Omaha!" to "Obama! Obama!" - would he lose half his endorsements?... Was the Shire from Lord of the Rings based on Kentucky?... Meat Slurry would be a good name for a band. Or for an entree companion to Golden Corral's Chocolate Waterfall... Who knew? After the attack on Pearl Harbor - Canada declared war on Japan before the US did... Coffee naps! I'm so in!...

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- I agree 100% with Brian Kenny on Curt Schilling

- File this under "you have to be F'n kidding me!" FDA may ban ice cream sprinkles.

- Tom Brady's restructured contract is a Win-Win for him and the Patriots.

- Soldier's wedding had to be moved so Obama could play golf.

- Put me in the camp that doesn't think North Korea was behind the Sony hack

The Sony Hack

Here are three very good links to get you up to speed on the Sony hack and the movie The Interview.

This first link is a timeline of all the events that have unfolded.

The second link is an excellent point about risk and how Sony pulling The Interview from movie theaters may become a clarion call for tort reform (innocent third parties should not be liable to be sued because of something evil a nutcase does).

The third link is just fun. The Sony Hack gets the Taiwan animation treatment.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Why can't Sony release the movie The Interview in Canada? Even the North Koreans can't hate the Canadians... Heh heh - John Wayne chased them down an alley... Think about it - even if you won $1 million in the lottery every month for the rest of your life - you would never become a billionaire... Heh heh... Who knew? Barry Manilow's hit "I Write the Songs" was not written by Barry Manilow... Interesting interview of Joss Whedon regarding the new Avengers: Age of Ultron movie... Idea for a new TV channel; ESP-N (the Extra Sensory Perception Network). Psychics would make sports predictions and pick games... Who knew? The Russian economy as measured by GDP is smaller than that of the State of Texas...
