Joe Dante's Small Soldiers (1998) is criminally overlooked. It’s Toy Story’s unhinged sibling: the toys don’t play, they declare war. Brilliant Stan Winston effects, great cast, Tommy Lee Jones and Frank Langella voice work, biting satire and an edgy kids’ thriller. Magical stuff
Stacking 𝓦's..
Nats are 6-2 in their last 8 games, and have taken Series' vs. CIN, BAL, ATL, CLE, SD, alongside a split with the NY Mets, since May 12. #Natitude@TalkNats
I’ve been running camps all over Texas since Saturday. Texas NEEDS a D1 program. There is a ton of talent in this state and it’s sad to see no team push for it. It’s super sad to see what Tarelton went through, but man does it need to happen for these kids.
James Wood is having a hot start for the Nationals, he is the only player this season with 15 HR and 10 stolen bases 🤯
Wood is the second player in Nationals history to hit those marks before June, joining Alfonso Soriano in 2006 🔥
This is literally what happened to me. I had zero breathing issues until the morning I was admitted to the hospital. Only symptoms days before was back pain. I went to the hospital the day before I was admitted and all vitals tested normal, besides back pain I felt fine and even had a good workout.
The John Elway PR is a perfect storm:
• Highly-touted NCAA QB people expected and wanted to be great
• Highlight-reel QB but inconsistent on accuracy/decisions
• Bad play was overlooked because GWDs make better highlight packages
• Lack of statistical analysis for QBs in his era hid flaws
• The Broncos fabricated his clutch success relative to other top QBs to create a false narrative as the NFL's comeback king
• Took advantage of a weak AFC in the 80s, especially Martyball teams in crunch time
• Crushed in the SB 3x, so people figured it was his team instead of him throwing the game away
• Won at the end with much better stats on a truly stacked team, which helps people say he always had it in him
• Even in his first SB win, he played like crap, but one helicopter twirl highlight gets immortalized while Terrell Davis and the defense that stopped the 3x MVP were the real heroes
• Hollywood ending to win SB MVP in your last game
He's the #1 case in NFL history of a QB where people willingly ignore the huge volume of bad plays/games/seasons and focus squarely on the best moments of his career.
Things would be a lot different if we gave other QBs the same grace.
This afternoon, @FlyersAlumni members surprised Bob "The Hound" Kelly with the Joe Scott Unsung Hero Award for his work with @TheFlyersCup!
The award is given annually to someone who helps to promote and grow scholastic hockey. 👏
Roman Wilson is a genius. Changes his number to 14 to trick Rodgers into thinking he is still dumping it off to Gainwell. We could see a historic season from Wilson this year.

The Nationals are expected to recall Dylan Crews from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. @MarkZuckerman first on it. He'd been raking with Rochester as of late.
