I was surprised to learn of the death of NFL writer Don Banks yesterday morning when I read Peter King’s column. I read of a Banks’ stuff when he was at SI, he was only 56-years-old. Later yesterday morning, I found out one of my coworkers lost his son, who I think was about ten years of age but suffering from a long illness.
Peter King has an interesting nugget in his column. Oakland quarterback Derek Carr is building a home in Las Vegas next to the home of his head coach, Jon Gruden. I doubt any NFL coach and quarterback ever lived next door to each other, which Gruden and Carr will do when the Raiders move to Nevada in 2020. Talk about living under a microscope.
I attended too many Baptist weddings in my lifetime, no drinking or dancing. While listening to The TICKET, Donovan was explaining how at some weddings, to raise a little extra cash for the couple, attendees are “charged” to dance with the bride. That sounds like a cute idea.
Keanu Reeves as Forest Gump Deepfake – Other than his face on Jenny, I’m impressed and scared to death when people start using this on politicians and world leaders.
Good Sir, I think we have a nugget of an idea that could revolutionize television. Let’s take the Vegas NFL neighbors thing and extrapolate it. Have HBO (cursing & nudity) create a new show like the old MTV show, The Real World. Seven to ten NFL folks sharing a house for a season. Residents could include Jerry, Dak, Zeke, Pacman, Switzer, and five or six “bad” cheerleaders. It would be a hit right out of the box. Have your agent get back to my agent.
FYI. Redirect issue and French translation now all clear. I knew you would work tirelessly til resolved.

I think Vince McMahon has a new way to help promote the XFL.
