  1. Grandpa Quarterback Buzzes Back to NFL, Shocking Youngsters 🏈

    Philip Rivers, 44, makes a historic return after five seasons away. He nearly pulled off a victory for the aged.

    The NFL has witnessed aged QBs before, chucking it well past expiration—Tom Brady, George Blanda, Steve DeBerg, Warren Beatty with Leo Farnsworth’s L.A. Rams—but no retired signal caller has ever been reanimated after such a long layoff.

  2. #Movies

    As much as I like Keanu Reeves as an action hero (#Matrix & #JohnWick), I've never liked him in lighter fair.

    He stars in #GoodFortune, which was a movie that I was definitely NOT interested in seeing at the theater but I took a look at it on an #AltStreaming channel & my decision to skip it at the theater was confirmed.

    I could only watch 20 mins of it before reading the entire plot on #Wiki & skipping ahead to see how it ended.

    I viewed it as a lesser grade version of #HeavenCanWait (1943 &/or 1978) & #ItsAWonderfulLife (1946).

    I suggest you watch one of those instead, if you want to see movie about an angel saving souls which is what Good Fortune is supposedly about.

  3. #GetSmart "came along at a time when the relationship between the general population and the government was getting edgy. And we sort of had a voice in that.”

    #BuckHenry (1930–2020) — Emmy-winning co-creator of #GetSmart and Oscar-nominated writer of #TheGraduate (1967) and director of #HeavenCanWait (1978) — would have been 92 today.
