‘Is this heaven?’’ ‘‘No, it’s Iowa.’’ — Exchange between ‘‘Shoeless Joe’’ Jackson and Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella in ‘‘Field of Dreams.’’ Ray Kinsella is the George Bailey of baseball, and ‘‘Field of Dreams’’ is the ‘‘It’s a Wonderful Life’’ of its time. Both movies function a traditional 20th-century American household man mired in a monetary disaster. (And a relative is concerned in every case.) Ray and George even have precocious charming little women of about the identical age who expertise medical points."Field of Dreams" stars Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan and Gaby Hoffman with Dwier Brown. Both males begin listening to and/or seeing issues, which ignites a magical, fantastical journey. And in ‘‘Field of Dreams,’’ in addition to

Twitter Has Field Day With Kyrie Irving-To-LeBron James All-Star Game Alley-Oop
Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game produced a sequence that basketball fans have seen quite a few times before. In the fourth quarter of the star-studded event at Spectrum Center in Charlotte N.C., Kyrie Irving floated a slick alley-oop to LeBron James as Team LeBron padded its lead over Team Giannis. Irving and James teamed up for countless highlight-reel plays over the course of their three seasons together with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But putting nostalgia aside, several folks on Twitter believe (or hope) the Irving-to-James alley-oop was a sign of things to come as Irving’s future with the Boston Celtics remains uncertain. Irving reu... NESN.com

Tony Romo Narrates Refs Discussing Penalty, Adds To Broadcasting-Funnies Reel
Tony Romo doesn’t narrate only cat-streaking videos. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS NFL analyst hilariously performed play-by-play duties Thursday night as referees discussed a potential penalty during the Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets Week 9 game. Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes appeared to bump one of the referees as he walked off the field, prompting this announcing gem from Romo. The play-by-play of the referees’ discussion is Romo’s latest addition to his personal reel of broadcasting hilarity. Romo last week broke down a clip of a cat running on the field during the Baltimore Ravens’ win over the Miami Doplphi... NESN.com
Titans, Seahawks Stay In Locker Room During National Anthem In Unprecedented Moment
There was an unprecedented scene before the Seattle Seahawks-Tennessee Titans game at LP Field on Sunday. In response to President Donald Trump’s call to “fire” any player who protests during the national anthem, both the Seahawks and Titans released separate statements saying they would not be coming onto the field for the anthem. And as a result, LP Field looked eerily empty before kickoff. But the team’s weren’t the only ones in Nashville, Tenn., to take a stand, as singer Meghan Linsey and her guitarist took a knee at the end of the song. The Pittsburgh Steelers also did not take the field for the anthem prior to their loss to... NESN.com

I was like, ‘Oh shoot, he thought t... NESN.com
Another NASCAR Owner Joins Roush In Calling For Spending Cap, Luxury Tax
NASCAR is in need of some fresh ideas, and one person up to the task. The 2017 season has been of uncharacteristic parody for the sport. Heading into Sunday’s race at Watkins Glenn International, 11 different drivers and nine different teams have entered victory lane. But this surely won’t last, and NASCAR must to something to level the playing field. The answer, according to one owner, could be a spending cap. “Every single league has a cap now these days, it creates a level playing field,” Richard Petty Motorsports co-owner Andrew Murstein recently told NBC Sports. “It’s salaries … it’s wind-tunnel time, its the whole kit and ca...
