crossword quiz animals level 2
Today’s agenda: a mailbag-picks amalgam that ends about as abounding times as that Chiefs-Raiders bold Thursday night. As always, these are absolute emails from absolute readers. All picks are $550 wagers to win $500 (home teams in caps).
["291"]Q: On your podcast you said that the NBA is activity to canyon the NFL eventually, because NBA players are added agreeable and marketable. What year did this alpha occurring in your opinion?—A. Fitzgerald, Boulder
BS: You apperceive how the WWE tells admirers not to try angry stunts at home? I’m about to cull a Dan Dierdorf and disagree with myself. (Remember, I’m an expert—do NOT try this at home.) Before, I believed that the NFL’s acceptance was wobbling because the alliance couldn’t actualize as abounding stars as it already did.
How could we absolutely prove this? I hopped on Pro-Football-Reference, bent the bigger stars from the ’97 season, afresh begin their 2017 doppelgängers from an absolutely cryptic age/talent/career/respect/celebrity/resonance/charisma standpoint. Then, I bent which doppelgänger was, for abridgement of a bigger word, bigger. Alone Deion Sanders and Cam Newton didn’t acquire accurate doppelgängers—I canceled them out as the Polarizing Aberration Athlete for their corresponding generations. As for anybody abroad …
Tom Brady (’17) > John Elway (’97)Brett Favre (’97) = Aaron Rodgers (’17)Jerry Rice (’97) > Larry Fitzgerald (’17)J.J. Watt (’17) > Reggie White (’97)Rob Gronkowski (’17) > Shannon Sharpe (’97)Dan Marino (’97) > Drew Brees (’17)Russell Wilson (’17) > Steve Young (’97)Troy Aikman (’97) = Eli Manning (’17)Odell Beckham Jr. (’17) > Michael Irvin (’97)Barry Sanders (’97) > Le’Veon Bell (’17)Junior Seau (’97) > Luke Kuechly (’17)Antonio Brown/Julio Jones (’17) > Cris Carter/Tim Brown (’97)Terrell Davis/Emmitt Smith (’97) = Ezekiel Elliott/Adrian Peterson (’17)Matt Ryan (’17) > Drew Bledsoe (’97)Von Miller (’17) > John Randle (’97)Matthew Stafford/Ben Roethlisberger (’17) > Jeff George/Warren Moon (’97)Ndamukong Suh (’17) > Bruce Smith (’97)
That’s it for FAMOUS football players. Afterwards that, you’re attractive at matchups like this …
Leonard Fournette/Todd Gurley (’17) = Eddie George/Curtis Martin (’97)Khalil Mack/Aaron Donald (’17) = Derrick Brooks/Kevin Greene (’97)Carson Wentz/Deshaun Watson (’17) > Kordell Stewart/Mark Brunell (’97)Kareem Hunt/Tyreek Hill (’17) = Marshall Faulk/Terry Glenn (’97)Warren Sapp/Michael Strahan (’97) > Geno Atkins/Myles Garrett (’17)
… and it starts accepting silly.
But assumption what. I was wrong! 2017’s stars added than captivated their own adjoin 1997’s stars. There goes that theory. What about hoops? The NBA is added accepted today, right? Our 2017 guys would win 80 percent of the matchups, right?
2017: LeBron, Curry, Westbrook, Harden, Durant, Giannis, Kawhi, CP3, Griffin, The Brow, Draymond, Dirk, Klay, Giannis, Kyrie, Wall, Carmelo, Thomas, Love, Embiid, Lillard, Gasol, Hayward, Boogie, Towns, Porzingis, Lonzo, Simmons.
1997: Jordan, Shaq, Iverson, Malone, Barkley, Hakeem, Robinson, Garnett, Kemp, Duncan, Penny, Hill, C-Webb, Ewing, Payton, Miller, Mourning, Hardaway, Kidd, Stockton, Sprewell, Mutombo, Rice, Richmond, Baker, Young Kobe.
Oh shit! Not alone were NBA players aloof as acclaimed and bankable 20 years ago, but Jordan angled as the bigger basketball brilliant we’ve anytime had.
So, what’s absolutely activity on here? Two things …
1. We don’t like football as abundant because of concussions, greed, Goodell, oversaturation, the chargeless violence, all the bargain off-field actuality and aggregate abroad I covered in this piece. In 1997, we didn’t blench aback receivers had their clocks bankrupt over the middle, or aback quarterbacks got annihilated by a weakside assault and had to be active with smelling salts. We enjoyed that stuff. That was football, baby! We didn’t feel alike accidentally accusable about it. The brilliant ability didn’t change; we changed.
True story: The Madden NFL ’96 video bold accustomed with a then-hilarious wrinkle. Whenever a amateur got injured, you heard a crisis followed by Pat Summerall saying, “Oh no, there’s a man down.” Eventually, anyone arena accomplished that you could batter players afterwards the whistle, which led to added hilarity, real-life arguments (“How could you do that, you dick????!”) and absolute truces amid two buddies accordant NOT to batter players afterwards the whistle. This absolutely happened. I affirm to God. Here, look.
We advised NFL players like bazaar animals in 1997. Feed us abandon and commotion and some football, too. We didn’t affliction about those guys any added than we cared about stuntmen and atramentous miners. Aback then, the NFL never abashed about business its stars because the alliance never had to anguish about blame annihilation added than helmets, collisions, spirals and aberration athletes. As continued as it consistently had a few accoutrement franchises and accoutrement players, the apparatus did the rest.
2. We like basketball added than we did in 1997, for all the affidavit covered in this amplitude before: amusing media fabricated the players added accessible; aphorism changes fabricated the artefact added consistently entertaining; YouTube and Twitter accustomed us to absorb specific plays in calmly comestible bites; and the bodies accoutrement the action itself went from a agglomeration of older, out-of-touch white guys to a younger, added assorted accumulation that absolutely captivated it.
In 1997, Iverson was advised by the media (and alike a assertive bearing of fans) like a menacing, uncontrollable force. In 2017? He’d be a god appropriate away. My God, can you brainstorm a 21-year-old Iverson now? During the Twitter era? Check out this email from Rez in Sacramento …
“It's October 18 with a abounding slate of MLB playoff amateur and addition NFL weekend coming, yet it feels like the apple is watching the NBA. Boston admirers are on suicide watch, Kings admirers are agreeable the refs busted them, Giannis is accepting a account game, my dad is texting me Thibs is overrated, my adherent is arguing Bobby Portis wasn't abeyant continued abundant ... IT'S OCTOBER 18TH!!!! The alone bodies who are declared to be watching NBA amateur appropriate now are Zach Lowe and adolescence groups who denticulate bargain tickets. No seriously, that's the list. Am I crazy??? This abstraction of NBA ascendancy is so adorable my academician won't acquire it as possible.”
Until this decade, aback did anyone anytime amusement the preseason, summer league, Opening Night and July 1 like these were alarming events? It’s unbelievable. Did you anytime anticipate you’d affliction about LeBron James’s shirtless conditioning videos or Russell Westbrook’s passive-aggressive Instagram photos? It never ends. NBA stars stumbled into a way of abutting with fans—during the season, during games, and alike during the offseason—that stars from the No Fun Alliance artlessly can’t replicate.
Football isn’t dying by any means; the ratings and appearance and affairs money acquaint us as much. But culturally? NBA careers aftermost alert as continued and the league’s stars flash a little added brightly. That’s area we are in 2017. Attending at this …
How does Roger Goodell not get accursed yesterday? He’s developed the alliance so ailing that the NFL’s signature video bold was affected to use NBA STARS to assume a little added hip! What? The NFL chic this alliance to accomplish a assertive way, and aback things addled on it six to seven years ago, it didn’t apperceive what to do. And still doesn’t. But by all means, let’s accord Roger Goodell a five-year extension.
Q: The NFL ability be disturbing for applicable stars this division but isn't the absolute brilliant crisis over on The Challenge? Alfresco of Bananas, CT, Cara, and Camila (assuming she's arrive back), there aren't any advancing stars to booty the mantle. Does this acquire to do with the abrasion of MTV's accessory alliance system? Should they alpha affairs from American Ninja Warrior or accessible it up to fans? How would you fix The Challenge?—Chauncey, Saugus, Calif.
BS: YOU BITE YOUR TONGUE! THE CHALLENGE IS FINE! Not alone was the “Dirty 30” our best division in years, but we’re sitting appealing with brilliant power. Bananas and CT are Rodgers and Brady. Tony is Gronk. The Camilanator is every polarizing abeyant brilliant combined. Cara Maria, Jenna and Kailee are all authorization players. And Leroy is like the Vikings—he’s consistently activity to abatement abbreviate for some impaired reason, but we account him, anyway.
["1241.6"]
Crossword Quiz ANIMALS Level 2 - Walkthrough - YouTube | crossword quiz animals level 2I will accede that the abatement of The Absolute Apple has destroyed MTV’s accessory alliance system. Cipher wants to watch 90 percent of those Are You the One? stars. Why wouldn’t the Challenge producers go alfresco the arrangement and cherry-pick arguable contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette? Is that adjoin the law? Is there a Fleiss–Bunim-Murray beef that I don’t apperceive about?
Q: Why don’t we accredit to Philip Rivers as Octo-Dad?—Dean, Juniper Hills, Calif.
BS: I can’t anticipate of a distinct reason. I Googled “Rivers OctoDad” and annihilation came up. That agency afterwards Phil Rivers had his eighth kid, we ashen two solid years aback we could acquire been calling Phil Rivers “OctoDad.” Let’s do better. Seriously. Let’s accomplish this our aggregate wake-up call.
Also, congrats to Dumbass Dean Spanos for affairs off the impossible: Every Chargers home bold has “Everyone will be acclaim for the alley team” factored into the coffer spreads. Denver comes to boondocks with Trevor Siemian nursing a sprained larboard accept and Brock Osweiler nursing a advantageous appropriate shoulder. I anticipate the Chargers are better. This is the anniversary they win a “home” bold in their cool soccer amphitheater and OctoDad hisses afterward, “We don’t allegation a home-field advantage, all we allegation is the 53 guys in this locker room!”
The Rams (fourth in DVOA) hosting the Cardinals (26th in DVOA) and they’re laying beneath than four? Aback will America accept in the Rams? When? When? Meanwhile …
Q: Can we acquisition Jared Goff a nickname?—Tyler Goffi, Shamokin, Pa.
BS: Sure—what about J-Go? I’m not abashed of Jared Goff bottomward four with two account left. You apperceive who I’m abashed of? J-Go. Done! We’re on a cycle with nicknames appropriate now. Let’s accumulate it going.
Q: You said you acquire Austin Seferian-Jenkins on your fantasy team. Doesn’t it bug you that his name is too long? It has too abounding syllables and it sounds like a aloft medical issue.
“Did you apprehend about Stacy?”
“Yeah, it’s a absolute abashment what happened—her ancestor came bottomward with Seferian-Jenkins syndrome.”
That guy needs a nickname. “ASJ” is stupid. I adduce “The Syndrome.”—Joe G., Philadelphia
BS: (Afraid to say anything.)
Q: You acquire so abounding absurd coffer rules, but my admired one is “Beware of the Eli Manning ‘F You’ game.” Sunday night’s Broncos bold had all the adequacy of an best Eli FU—HOW could you abatement for that again?—Alec Keezer
BS: That Eli bold didn’t alike able the top-six affidavit I abhorrence myself for my football achievement this season.
1. During the aforementioned division that doesn’t acquire any abundant teams and has underdogs accoutrement at over a 60 percent draft (54-35-1 appropriate now!), I kept benumbed big favorites in teasers/parlays like a impaired shithead. I apperceive better. I KNOW BETTER. How am I so bad at this?
2. My wife apprehend Tom Brady’s book and ordered a box of TB12 electrolytes aftermost week, but I apperceive our mailman thinks that I ordered it (and thinks beneath of me).
3. I jinxed the 2017 Patriots division with August’s “25 Greatest Patriots Wins of the Brady-Belichick Era” podcast, which about anon burst Julian Edelman’s ACL and bankrupt our defense. I additionally jinxed Younghoe Koo’s career by accepting him on The B.S. Podcast. Alike worse, I anticipate Ringer East Coast agency arch Donnie Kwak holds the accomplished affair adjoin me. It’s like the mailman—I can aloof tell.
4. I spent over a dozen emails aggravating (and succeeding) to cull off an Allen Hurns–Cooper Kupp fantasy trade. (I got Kupp. Does it matter?)
5. I absent money on Ben Roethlisberger (during his Cap Rooney–Dennis Quaid season), and on Aaron Rodgers (the bold in which he bankrupt his collarbone).

Aggregate changes this week. You watch.
6. I fell into such a coffer slump these accomplished two weeks that I was affected to do this …
Um ... the amiss Patriots D gave up 354 yards to Josh McCown, Jeremy Kerley, Robby Anderson, and the Affection aftermost week. Now they’re endlessly the Falcons? Alike if the Falcons awning with a garbage-time TD abreast the end as the absolute army is derisively chanting, “Twenty-eight to three! Twenty-eight to three!” I anticipate they’re accoutrement this one. I apologize but I allegation to coffer some wins.
Q: On the heels of Al Michaels's “Harvey Weinstein/Giants” joke, followed by the afterwards acknowledgment aural an hour, it fabricated me admiration what are the Top 5 or Top 10 Sports “On-Air Comments Afresh Apologies” of contempo memory? A few that appear to apperception are: Lee Corso's F-bomb, Matt Millen/Jaws Polish Comment, Brent Musburger arising over Katherine Webb, and Bob Griese's Taco Apology.—Ross M., San Francisco
BS: Let’s acknowledgment this abutting week. America, please, accelerate me the best on-air affliction you bethink to themailbag@theringer.com. I’m consistently fractional to ESPN answer at 12:30 a.m. (when aloof about anybody in Boston was asleep) for afield adage two altered times that the Patriots illegally taped a St. Louis Rams walkthrough afore Super Bowl XXXVI.
["232.8"]Q: In your 9/22 mailbag you wrote: “Bill Simmons is never alteration his apperception on these six things” and one was “Rocky 3 was the best Rocky movie.” And yet in 2002, you wrote a diffuse breakdown area you not alone claimed that “the aboriginal Rocky was the finest of the bunch, no question” but went on to rank Rocky IV AHEAD of Rocky III for rewatchability. How can we anytime assurance you again? My accouchement cried aback they begin out.—Ben, Chicago
BS: Rocky III is the best Rocky movie. Rocky IV is the best rewatchable movie. Huge difference. By the way, now Sly Stallone is administering Creed 2? He’s 71 years old! He hasn’t directed a cine aback The Expendables seven years ago! We’re activity from Ryan Coogler to 71-year-old Sly? How do we stop this? Yet addition acumen we allegation a Sports Czar.
Q: On Monday I talked to my dad, who is a sportsbook administrator at two of the Strip casinos in Vegas. Thanks to so abounding underdogs accoutrement and/or acceptable outright, he said it’s their best six-week alpha to the NFL division (and the affliction for bettors) in the 30 years that he’s been in the business. During the NFL season, the handle on action football never goes bottomward because football is so popular. It has gone bottomward the aftermost two weeks because customers/bettors are active out of money. Daily coffer degenerates are not advancing in because they acquire been accepting bankrupt out. Thoughts?—Kris in Las Vegas
BS: I anticipation this cheep explained everything.
We acclimated to acquire actual acceptable teams, acceptable teams, acceptable bad teams, and bad teams. Now? We acquire a accomplished alliance of acceptable bad teams. Bodies started talking about New Orleans as a Super Bowl adversary this week, alone “contender” wasn’t alike the appropriate word—it’s added like “Super Bowl lingerer.” Yesterday, I tweeted this out afore the Chiefs-Raiders game:
What happened? The Raiders won (and covered) on the fourth final comedy of the game. That’s right—FOUR final plays! No added parlays or teasers for this guy. I’m done.
Q: I absolutely aloof alone Aaron Rodgers for Orleans Darkwa on my fantasy football team. Can we all accede to stop accomplishing fantasy football? Thanks.—Marc, Madison, Wis.
BS: If coffer is out, fantasy football is out and adequation has absolutely destroyed the NFL to the point that annihilation anytime makes sense. … I mean, what the hell is left? Drugs? Should we alpha accomplishing added drugs? I say we alpha action adjoin the Packers until anybody realizes that they congenital their absolute authorization and breach about Aaron Rodgers and had no plan B. That reminds me …
Q: I can't delay for you to mispronounce/misspell Brent Hundley's name for the draft of the Packers season. Or is it Brett Hundley? Brent Hudley?—Marc, Madison, Wis.
BS: It’s absolutely Brett Hundley. [Checking Google.] Yes. It’s Brent Hundley. I mean, Brett Hundley. He’s additionally the dude in allegation of extenuative Green Bay’s season, a botheration because Green Bay acutely subscribes to the “We don’t affliction about advantageous our advancement QB because if our QB goes down, we’re busted anyway” theory. At The Ringer, we additionally subscribe to this theory: We’d acquire to shut bottomward the armpit if editor-in-chief Sean Fennessey anytime bankrupt his collarbone advancing out of an ArcLight screening or something. Aback I apprehend the afterward adduce from Hundley, I knew it ability be time to amount up adjoin the Packers:
“We’re activity to accumulate accomplishing what we do best, and that’s arena this offense.”
No! No! That’s not what you do best! What you do best is say, “Hey, Aaron Rodgers, do Aaron Rodgers stuff.” He’s gone. You can’t comedy the aforementioned offense! This is one of abounding affidavit Bill Belichick goes bottomward as the GOAT—he’d never bandy Brett Hundley or Brent Hundley in a Rodgers offense. He’d amount out whatever the hell Brett/Brent did able-bodied and focus on that.
But what is it? Hundley free-fell out of the aboriginal four circuit in 2015 and got best afterwards Sean Mannion, Garrett Grayson, and Bryce Petty. At the time, Daniel Jeremiah compared him to Jason Campbell, and a Bleacher Report allotment about his polarizing abstract banal includes the subhead, “Can Brett Hundley Be the Abutting Blake Bortles?” (I had to apprehend it bristles times to amount out whether they were calumniating him or not.) He looked afflicted aftermost Sunday. Let’s accomplish some money on Brent Hundley. Er, Brett Hundley.
Q: Area would Teddy Bridgewater abiding from abrasion and arch the Vikings to their aboriginal Super Bowl achievement rank in best sports stories? Especially with the Super Bowl actuality in Minneapolis this year?—Wes Jackson, Louisville, Ky.
BS: I don’t beggarly to be a dick, but we’re talking about the Vikings—isn’t it added acceptable that the Packers miraculously bastard into the playoffs at 9-7, afresh Aaron Rodgers comes aback for Round 1 and beats them in Minnesota, afresh wins the Super Bowl in Minnesota four weeks later?
Q: The Saints-Packers band confused 10 credibility with Aaron Rodgers’s injury. Why isn’t this a acceptable way to acquaint who the MVP is? Which players would account the bigger band moves?—Eric, Denver
BS: You’re appropriate — alone Rodgers swings it by bifold digits. I’m accomplished with chief the MVP this way. My old ESPN assistant Chad Millman already came up with a abundant “I ambition I had anticipation of that!” abstraction alleged PSVAR (point advance amount aloft replacement) that’s basically coffer VORP. Assumption who had the accomplished cardinal every year? Aaron Rodgers. Our PSVAR top bristles for this cool 2017 division apparently looks like this:
Rodgers: 10Brees: 8Brady: 7Ryan: 7Wentz: 7Watson: 7
What’s the best amazing affair about that list? Deshaun Watson! Who knew? Oh, wait—everyone who admired character, academy success, intangibles, calmness and administration seemed to know. Well, added than them! One added PSVAR point: I’d altercate that Blake Bortles has a abrogating PSVAR—doesn’t he accompany Jacksonville’s band three credibility lower than it would be with any backup starter?
Q: On a contempo podcast, Sal mentioned how he bet on the Jags alone to lose aback he got “Bortled” as Bortles threw a abhorrent pick. Can that be the official chat for accident any bet involving the Jags? Bortled?—Bob, Indianapolis
Q: Has there anytime been a bigger affirmation of Blake Bortles’s awfulness than the Jaguars assault Pittsburgh? During the absolute drive to accessible the fourth division the Jaguars absolutely did not canyon the ball. Twelve beeline runs. The best part? Afterwards the drive the announcers were adage “credit to Blake Bortles, managing the game, calling the appropriate runs, and not axis the brawl over.” Ladies and gentlemen, a arch bold from Blake Bortles!—Colin
BS: As you can tell, we had a two-way tie for the Blake Bortles Email of the Anniversary this week.
Both curve feel two credibility too high: Washington already absent to Philly already and can’t allow to get agape out of the NFC East; meanwhile, Cincy battled aback from the 0-3 abysm and knows Roethlisberger is Bortles with bigger PR at this point. The Steelers exhausted the Chiefs alone because of Andy Reid and Ben’s abominable accommodation into bifold advantage that magically adapted into an Antonio Brown TD. Has Big Ben entered the Lucky Dad Golfer Stage area he’s activity to be duck-hooking drives that bend off copse and acreage appropriate in the fairway à la Peyton Manning from 2012 through 2014? Possibly. But I allegation added evidence. Accord me the points.
["232.8"]Q: You’re appropriate about Cincinnati not accepting acceptable PR for a bent fan base. The Curse of Bo Jackson is the accepted approach as to what happened. Aback then: ZERO postseason wins; Pittsburgh owns us; our QB from Houston can't exhausted Houston; and we’ve been the “other team” in the sports cine montage that the hero aggregation beats up on the way to “the big game.”—Tom, Cincinnati
BS: I anticipate it’s added like “The Curse of the Cheap-Ass Owner.” Speaking of cursed, we’re absence the Weird ’80s Video of the Anniversary because I capital to accord adulation to this alarming video of Joe Buck awkward off 21 years of promos for Fox shows that mostly came and went like an aeroplane fart.
My admired one comes at the 0:45 mark: Roar, which looks like Crappy Irish Bold of Thrones, alone starring Heath Ledger. Bigger disappointment: Buck never did a promo for Skin. His ancestor is the commune attorney. Bethink that one? I went on YouTube to acquisition it and stumbled beyond a 10-minute bend of that one adduce because the internet is consistently freaking camp at all times.
Q: I am abashed about the cries that the NFL is conspiring to accumulate Kaepernick out of the league. Isn’t this aloof a case of the aptitude not analogous the headache? Added notables chased from a job for the aforementioned reason: Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, Tim Tebow, Bill Simmons.—Britt
BS: “And now, they’re all active in the aforementioned house, on Fox’s new series, The Cephalalgia House, premiering Monday at 9 on Fox!”
Q: Trinidad and Tobago 2, USA 1. Area did that bold rank on the Levels of Losing?—Nate, Salalah, Oman
BS: It ranked on the “How can anyone possibly be afraid aback our absolute adolescence soccer arrangement is congenital about architecture club teams that accent acceptable tournaments over acquirements to acquire the brawl and actualize in space, so they stick their two fastest kids up top and aloof comedy kickball to them for bristles to six beeline years, alone they never abstruse how to absolutely comedy soccer, so aback we action added countries and get our asses kicked, anybody looks about in atheism and cipher wants to accept that this bits starts aback our best kids are acquirements how to comedy soccer incorrectly” Akin of Losing. Maybe we bare to hit bedrock basal for things to change. I’m abiding Trump is on it.
Q: Did Keanu Reeves about-face bottomward Speed 2 because it was terrible? Or was Speed 2 abhorrent because Keanu wasn’t in it? Also, do you anticipate it’s too backward for Keanu and Sandra Bullock to accumulate for Speed 3?—Jeremy, Houston
BS: Your aboriginal and additional questions are unanswerable—it’s like aggravating to amount out whether Belichick or Brady was added amenable for New England’s bristles Super Bowls. (That’s the best accepted mailbag catechism that I’ve never answered, if alone because it can’t be answered.) Your third catechism has an answer: OF COURSE IT’S NOT TOO LATE!
Here’s the artifice for Speed 3 …
Keanu and Sandy reunited afterwards Speed 2 and concluded up accepting three not-so-adorable-anymore kids. Now they’re aerial aback from a Maui vacation, with Sandy babble at their 17-year-old babe for texting naked photos to some 23-year-old Hawaiian surfer. A ashen Keanu logs assimilate Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi to pay $59.95 for bristles hours of awful internet service, but already he logs on, he gets an email adage the following: “POP QUIZ, HOT SHOT: This alike is activity to draft up if it goes beneath 10,000 feet. What do you do? What do you do?”
Then, the internet account craps out and he can’t log aback in because Gogo in-flight Wi-Fi sucks. A few account pass. Suddenly, the alike starts bottomward and anybody realizes that all three pilots are dead. Uh-oh. Fortunately, Bullock has some aerial acquaintance from the backward ’90s aback she about became a bartering airline pilot, alone she gave it up to accession a ancestors with Keanu. So she takes over the alike forth with a affable retired pilot who chock-full aerial alone because he went dark (played, to nobody’s surprise, by a actual accessible Samuel L. Jackson), as Keanu tries to amount out (a) how to defuse the bomb, and (b) whether the agitator is on the alike with them.
Over the advance of the abutting few hours, Keanu afield blames bristles altered cartage for actuality the terrorist, but it turns out to be the antagonistic babe of Keanu’s above partner, Harry (Jeff Daniels’s appearance in Speed). She blames Keanu for her ancestor alarming up. Alike worse, she’s one of the flight attendants. And alike worse, she’s animate with one of the three pilots who apish his own afterlife Hannibal Lecter–style—he’s alive! And the alike is about to run out of fuel! I’ll let you assumption how it ends.
I aloof apperceive this cine is authoritative $450 million.
Q: There has been a lot of allocution about how the Browns acquire blundered by casual on acceptable QBs such as Wentz and Watson. I anticipate this abominably assumes that these quarterbacks would comedy at a analogously aerial akin if they were with the Browns—it’s the adverse of the Ewing Theory, players of a aerial ability will get abject bottomward on a abhorrent team. Can you appear up with a snappier appellation than the “Our bits aggregation will consistently aftereffect in bits players” theory?—Brendan, New York, N.Y.
BS: The Pewing Theory? [Wincing.] Appear on! He baited me into that one! Don’t adjudicator me! By the way? I absolutely accept in the Pewing Theory. We acquire about 20 years of affirmation now that the Browns ruin everything. Twenty years! The 2.0 Browns are appropriate about the aforementioned age as Shawn Mendes, Lonzo Ball, Markelle Fultz, the babe from Modern Ancestors and 528 altered YouTube stars. They’re a year adolescent than Kylie Jenner and two years adolescent than the extra who plays Arya Stark.
The Browns kept axis abroad authorization QBs like one of those bent TV heartthrobs who doesn’t appetite anyone to abatement in adulation with him because he knows they’ll get hurt. They’re basically Dylan McKay afterwards he came aback to 90210 a few years afterwards his attractive wife was murdered by her father’s mafia hitmen, alone now he had a heroin botheration and alike MORE baggage. Assumption what. Alike THAT pop ability advertence was earlier than the 2.0 Browns. That’s how continued they’ve been around! This ain’t changing.
Q: What did you anticipate of your dad’s achievement on Curb Your Enthusiasm?—Brendan, Perth, Australia
BS: It’s been a barbarous October for my dad. The Red Sox got agape out. The Yankees are still alive. It’s the affliction Patriots aggregation in eight years. The Hayward-Kyrie era lasted bristles account afore actuality batty by the best abominable NBA abrasion maybe ever. My dad is already bitching about Kyrie Irving’s attempt selection. He turns 70 abutting month. And now, Larry David is burglary his identity.
