Alliteration notwithstanding, will the nameless Golden Gophers prevail? You definitely have to count off for such a lame mascot. Almost as importantly, they've had a bunch of close games recently, they're sorry on the road, and they're coming off a 66-65 loss to Wisconsin...
...Jason Theodosakis on PrimeTime Live last week, you saw him working out and scrambling over rocks like a dedicated exercise buff. In fact, Theodosakis, 34, a Tucson, Arizona, physician specializing in preventive and sports medicine, regards himself as a medical miracle. Only a few years ago, he was so lame from arthritis that he had to use crutches and occasionally even a wheelchair...
...ages so quickly as yesterday's vision of the future, or of the technologically advanced past that Lucas imagined. Today we can wallow in the film's sleek retro-kitsch; even the opening logo has acquired the classic blockiness of a '56 DeSoto. One can find endearment in the lame badinage of C-3PO, in Carrie Fisher's bagel-like hairdo, in the whining and bickering of the lead characters, in the varying pronunciations of Obi-Wan Kenobi and the planet Alderaan. The invocation to "trust your feelings" seems a woozy echo of the '67 Summer of Love...

This cop thriller bears a surface similarity to the early Eddie hits 48 HRS. and Beverly Hills Cop, but it's lame and lazy, inefficient even as the sort of action machine Hollywood can tool up in its sleep.

Next get hired by Disney and do such lame work that the Mouseketeers terminate your contract 14 months later. Then you'll rake in almost $40 million in severance pay and 3 million stock options. If you hang on to those until 2002, there's a good chance they'll be worth about $100 million. Otherwise, be good at your job, like Michael Eisner, and Disney will give you a 10-year...
