Welcome back to my continuing series on the James Bond films, broken down by decade. Last time, was a long time ago. I had been able to start this series in March/April because the James Bond movies were playing on a channel called Pluto and there were quite

HRTN Special: The Boys of Summer (Part Three)
The scene: The clear skies over the Pacific Ocean, where a vintage DC-3 twin engine airplane flies a scant 500 feet or so above the blue waters. Stoner Pilot: It’s easy flying from here, man. Like, we’re gonna unload all that Hawaiian grass and be on E-Z street. Stoner Co-Pilot: Oh,
Your “It Must Be High School, Because Not Everyone Gets Picked” Wednesday Evening Open Thread
NFL Noise: Jadeveon Clowney has come to the realization that he has set his price too high. He has announced, via Houston radio interview, that he'd go back to the Seahawks, if they are willing to sign him. "I did like it up there. I love Russ (Russell Wilson). I
Your “Cool Dad vs. Actual Dad” Tuesday Evening Open Thread
NFL Nuggets: Tuesday at midnight marks the end of the compensatory pick portion of free agency. Meaning that, after tonight, teams losing players to free agency no longer get compensatory picks as a result of that loss, and teams signing players don't lose picks. Which then means that some players
Your “The Wrong Notre Dame Burned Down” Monday Evening Open Thread
NFL Nuggets: The day's not over yet, so Russell Wilson's deadline has not yet passed. There are trade rumours afoot in the absence of any real news: The Honey Badger speculates it's the Giants just because. Will Brinson at CBS Sports speculates the Giants by way of draft picks. He

Horatio’s “Why God, Why?” REVISED Big Stupid And No Doubt Wildly Inaccurate Mock Draft 2.0 *slash* Also Your Draft Night Thursday Open Thread
Hi There: You may recall that I did two of these last year, and, for some reason, another version this year that I posted on March 26th. That's a month before the actual draft. I swore I wouldn't do another, because these are actually a lot of work and I don't
Your “Quality Outdoor Drinking Time” MLB Preview (Also I Guess Your Opening Day Thursday Afternoon Thread)
Ah, spring. Birds chirping, not wearing eight different layers to take out the garbage, and the Italian ice stand down the block finally opening. Oh, and I guess it's baseball season too. It's Opening Day, and bunting makes everything better in my eyes. I need to get some when I
Horatio’s Extremely Questionable 2018 Mock Draft
(Never gonna get tired of that shot) You may recall my mock drafts from last year. I did two versions, with the second going up the night of the first round. I started off 4-for-4, (in terms of the right player going to the right team; I did not call the
