...From The Sopranos and Joey to this - I'm seeing an accent theme. The one through line is the big accent and the in-your-face attitude. I'm definitely stereotyped, and I'm very O.K. with that. I get super bored playing bland, normal girls. (See TIME's photos of ER's long goodbye...
...spin on the culture of athletic obsession, glimpsing into the life of a pathetic fan on the cusp of middle age. Paul (Patton Oswalt) lives for the New York Giants, calling into radio shows with pre-scripted diatribes about how his team will make it to the Super Bowl this year. When he’s not working as a parking attendant, he sits outside the football stadium, watching games on a small TV rather than sitting in the bleachers.

...George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan formed The Travelling Wilburys, a popular but unremarkable super-group with no cultural legacy to speak of.

...were reporting that 95% of their club and reserve seats have been sold to season-ticket holders. That's all the more impressive when you remember that the Cowboys, who ruled the NFL in the early '90s, barely rule Texas these days. Between 1972 and 1996 they won five Super Bowls, three of them in the years after Jones bought the team in 1989 and started fiddling energetically with the coaching staff and the roster. But 1996 was the last time the 'Boys won a playoff game, and they finished last season with a lackluster 9-7 record...
