“I don’t know how you’re gonna feel about this, but I want to ask you...”
– Michael Jackson on The Game and 50 Cent’s feud in 2004. As told to MTV’s John Rodriguez by The Game.
Of all the Michael Jackson stories and tributes, this one is my favorite. Rodriguez should win the Pulitzer for this one.

– Eric Neel on Mariano Rivera
The article is two years old, but the quote is timeless.
WatchTim Kurkjian’s video essay on Mariano Rivera.
Kurkjian is one of the better reporters on the Worldwide Leader. All of his video essays are terrific, he doesn’t go with the popular consensus (he maintains he’s still going to vote for Sammy Sosa when he’s eligible for the Hall of Fame), and he’s clearly does his homework and knows what he’s talking about. Plus...
The Great Mariano
A menacing beat from Metallica plays over the loud speaker. The crowd rises to its feet and begins applauding. Players on the home team are hanging over the railing, eager looks on their faces. The song is drowned out by cheers. Lights are flashing from all corners of The Stadium. The bullpen door swings open. A skinny Panamanian jogs onto the outfield grass. The Great Closer, the Hammer of...

There are many superstars who are described as “iconic”, but don’t live up to the...

More than meets the eye
Jaws are dropping all over Hollywood: “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” opened sharply above even robust expectations on Wednesday with $60.6 million in ticket sales at North American theaters, according to Paramount Pictures.
That one-day total is more than Will Ferrell’s “Land of the Lost” and Eddie Murphy’s “Imagine That” have made in North American theaters - combined - since they opened....

– Francis Ford Copolla on The Godfather Part II
I like how startled the interviewer is when Coppola says he didn’t think there should’ve been a second Godfather. I wish he said to Francis, “you pronounced third wrong.”
Fun fact: I actually think Godfather III is a good...
