John Ratcliffe (R-TX) said after reviewing the new text messages he believes there may have been a “secret society” of folks within the DOJ and […]

There are bound to be plenty of “Moonlight” jokes during this year’s Oscar telecast, after the film was momentarily, and incorrectly, snubbed as Best Picture due to an envelope mishap last year. We just didn’t think the debacle would rear its ugly head as early as Tuesday, when the nominations were announced. Or that it would be at the hands of CNN. Soon after the list of contenders for the 90th Academy Awards was revealed, “Entertainment Tonight” host Nischelle Turner appeared on the network to discuss 2018’s snubs and surprises.

When Yahoo Entertainment asked Ken Ehrlich, who has produced the Grammys ceremony for the past 38 years, for his favorite Grammy moments, he quickly replied, “I don’t have one!” It turned out, there were eight performances that came to mind when we put him on the spot. Here they are, in chronological order and in Ehrlich’s own words. “One of the things we’re doing at this year’s Grammys is a Broadway tribute, and Patti is going to do ‘Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina,’ which obviously she originated on Broadway.

What could be more exciting than an entire Fantasy Baseball Podcast dedicated to the catching position? Who doesn't want to own more catchers? Okay, okay, so I'm laying it on thick, but thick is the new thin, not sure if you heard.

We fawn over Gary Sanchez, discuss JT Realmuto vs. Willson Contreras, breakdown Buster Posey's value... Читать дальше...

James Pazos is an awesome pitcher and we should appreciate him more.

Whenever I try to write down the Mariners’ projected bullpen for 2018, I always seem to forget one guy: James Pazos.

I’m not sure why. He was solid last year as a lefty reliever in his first season in Seattle. Pazos threw 53.2 innings to the tune of a 3.86 ERA. On paper, that seems all right. His numbers certainly weren’t spectacular -- he walks a lot of guys, which we’ll get to in a bit -- and he doesn’t have the... Читать дальше...

MONTREAT, N.C. – In Saturday's win against Truett McConnell, the Montreat Cavaliers' offense got back on track and put up 77 points. While not matching that total on Monday night, the Cavs didn't need as many thanks to an outstanding defensive effort against the Bluefield Rams. The Cavs scored 67 but yielded only 52 in capturing their second straight win at McAlister Gym. The win was the team's first over Bluefield since February 8, 2012.

Oscars are supposed to reward quality. But the Academy of Arts and Sciences — which gives out the awards — gets it wrong all the time.

Remember when "Crash" won best picture in 2005? Or when "Suicide Squad" won an Oscar (for best makeup and hairstyling) just last year? Oscar history is filled with poor choices and outrageous omissions.

This year is no different, with a handful of baffling nominations. You can root against them at this year's Oscar ceremony... Читать дальше...
