‘Fatman’ assessment: Mel Gibson, with complete hobby, performs Santa

“You think I got this job because I’m fat and jolly?!?” — Santa Claus roaring at an adversary in “Fatman.” You BETTER be careful, you BETTER now not cry, you BETTER now not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is having none of that. Santa Claus is in a temper. Santa Claus is a hard-drinking, world-weary, financially strapped and deeply cynical S.O.B. who laments to his spouse, “We should have charged royalties for my image” and describes his worldview thusly: “All I have is a loathing for a world that’s forgotten.” ‘Fatman’: 2.five out of four

Big performs by Bears’ protection not sufficient

LOS ANGELES — It was the identical previous story for Roquan Smith and the Bears’ protection. They made performs. They took the ball away. They performed properly sufficient to win. And it wasn’t ok. The Bears had takeaways on their first two collection — security Ha Ha Clinton-Dix with a fumble restoration and Smith with an interception. They held the Rams to 283 whole yards, 5.four yards per play and three.2 yards per rush. They held Jared Goff to 173 passing yards and a 69.9 score. And all of it went for naught in a 17-7 loss Sunday night time at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. “I felt good throughout the game, but it’s not

Michigan Band Plays ‘Jurrasic Park’ Theme Song With T-Rex Backup Dancers

Michigan Band Plays ‘Jurrasic Park’ Theme Song With T-Rex Backup Dancers

Things got a little prehistoric at Michigan Stadium on Saturday. During Michigan’s game against Cincinnati on Saturday, the Wolverine marching band played a rendition of one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed.

These things were great, but where was the love for the Velociraptor? It was a pretty good day for Michigan fans at the Big House, as the Wolverines dino-stomped the Bearcats by a score of 36-14. The school’s marching band wi... NESN.com

Say what you want about “First Take,” but it’s pretty impressive that Smith and Kellerman are able to carry on a “debate” without mentioning either a specific team or the name of The Comeback Kid, the protagonist of the game’s career mode. It looks l... NESN.com
