25 Reasons 'The Good Wife' Had the Best Guest Cast Ever

Mandi Bierly - Deputy Editor, Yahoo TV Yahoo TV Staff May 4, 2016

When The Good Wife ends its seven-season run on May 8, the CBS drama will be remembered for many things: the empowering evolution of Alicia (Julianna Margulies), the continuous delight that was watching Christine Baranski in a role that has earned her an Emmy nomination for every season to date, and some of TV’s best writing. Of course it’s that last one that is truly responsible for the show being revered for its great guest stars. But here are 25 more reasons why that roster is the best ever.

The Good Wife series finale airs May 8 at 9 p.m. on CBS.

1. The writers knew that when you have a great character, you keep him (or her) in your world.

Dylan Baker has earned three Emmy nominations for playing Colin Sweeney, an accused wife killer who first appeared in Season 1′s thirteenth episode, “Bad,” and returned often enough to be dubbed Alicia’s creepiest client (“I like you, Mrs. Florrick,” he once told her. “You feed my Mary Poppins obsession”). When the audience knows a recurring character well enough to find a cutaway shot to him scowling in a courtroom funny, you’ve done your job. (Credit: John Paul Filo/CBS)

2. They created a role worthy of Michael J. Fox.

How do you make opposing lawyers quickly feel like three-dimensional characters? You have them exploit whatever they can about themselves in the courtroom. For Fox’s Louis Canning, that’s his illness (cue the eyeroll from Alicia). Over the years, as Fox has earned four Emmy nominations for the role he first played in Season 2, we’ve seen many sides of Canning (and even his alleged deathbed). But like all great recurring characters, he continues to bring out the best — and worst — in Alicia, including that awesome fake cry Julianna Margulies performed in the series’ penultimate episode when Alicia imagined what Canning expected to see when he told her Peter was accused of having a longtime affair.

3. They acknowledged that judges have personalities and personal views — and how they remain fair (unless they’re being bribed or just want to move their day along, of course).

On most shows that take us inside the courtroom, you don’t even know the judge’s name, let alone that she prefers you always use the phrase “in my opinion” (Ana Gasteyer’s Judge Patrice Lessner) or his position on gun control (Denis O’Hare’s Charles Abernathy). Because they’re truly characters, we can find them punishing the lawyers either amusing (David Paymer’s Judge Richard Cuesta keeping score in Peter’s current trial) or infuriating (pretty much every interaction Christopher McDonald’s Judge Don Schakowsky has ever had with Alicia). (Credit: Craig Blankenhorn/CBS)

4. They recognized another truth: Just because you have young kids doesn’t mean you’re soft.

It turns out you can still be fierce (Martha Plimpton’s Emmy-winning role, attorney Patti Nyholm) and extremely competent (Tim Guinee’s Mr. Mom investigator, Wiley) even when you have to bring your baby to an emergency hearing or take a call from the State’s Attorney through a talking lion toy. (Credit: John Paul Filo/CBS)

5. They weren’t afraid to go quirky. Like really, really quirky.

You can also be as eccentric as attorney Elsbeth Tascioni (Emmy winner Carrie Preston) and extremely respected. She carries ridiculously large bags and has made some ridiculous entrances, but her brilliance is never questioned (even after she’s busted singing along to “Call My Maybe” while falling for Kyle MacLachlan’s Josh Perotti). (Credit: Jeff Neumann/CBS)

6. They wouldn’t let you judge a book by its cover.

Nancy Crozier (Mamie Gummer) was one of Alicia’s greatest adversaries. Young, bright, and deceptively naive, she was actually a cobra whose bite made even the audience sit up a little higher in their chairs.

7. They knew a face you would want to slap — but wouldn’t want to stop watching.

State’s Attorney Glenn Childs (Titus Welliver) was the original foe we loved to hate. His legacy has lived on, though, in that office, in the high-ranking members of the Democratic party who’ve screwed Alicia and Diane, and most recently, in AUSA Connor Fox (Matthew Morrison), who’s taking the last crack at Peter.

8. They knew opposites attract.

Christine Baranski’s Diane didn’t need a man in her life to be a great character, but we’re sure glad she found Kurt McVeigh, Gary Cole’s ballistics expert. Their flirtatious cross-aisle verbal sparring grew into a still passionate relationship befitting a man who’s willing to sacrifice his most valuable commodity — his word — for the love of his life, and a woman who means it when she vows to make him happy every day of his life if he’ll forgive her. If we were told only one romance could survive the finale — Diane’s or Alicia’s — we’d pick this one.

9. They knew people with opposing views could be civil.

It was fascinating to see R.D. (Oliver Platt), an approachable and politically conservative businessman who loved a civilized argument with a worthy opponent, in scenes with Diane. He respected her, and used her as the devil’s advocate — eventually making her question whether his retainer was worth the sale of her soul.

10. They knew how to keep us guessing.

Were we supposed to like David Hyde Pierce’s Frank Prady, a political commentator-turned-State’s Attorney candidate who insisted to opponent Alicia that he wanted to run a campaign? We wanted to trust him (he’s played by David Hyde Pierce after all), but in the world of ‘Good Wife’ politics, you could never be sure.

11. They knew how to make feminists think.

Caitlin (Anna Camp) was a promising young lawyer who wanted to leave her burgeoning career to focus on her fiancée and their planned family. For some viewers, that’s as divisive a decision as Alicia standing by Peter at the start of the series. Alicia tried to talk Caitlin out of it — you can have it all — but Caitlin said she wasn’t sacrificing anything; she was choosing what she wanted. Her generation has nothing to prove, Caitlin said. Of course, years later we learned that Caitlin is now a single mom, back at work, and wondering if she ever should have left. Is the moral that nothing can guarantee a happily ever after, or that she’ll be fine, just like Alicia was?

12. They introduced us to Mike Colter.

Though he came to the show with credits, it’s his portrayal of the stoic, imposing Lemond Bishop that was Colter’s big break. “Mike Colter is such an amazing actor, and everybody’s catching on now and stealing him from us, which we take as a personal affront,” ‘Good Wife’ co-creator Robert King joked to Yahoo TV last year. (Colter’s ‘Jessica Jones’ character, Luke Cage, get his own Marvel series debuting Sept. 30 on Netflix.) “While this guy can play the very grim drug kingpin, it’s always fun to see how there’s a real human side underneath that because he’s a dad. Being a dad myself, I shovel some of my issues into [Bishop]. It’s just like you got a guy who’s split right down the middle. And obviously, Kalinda’s got front row seats for that.”

13. They made us wish Matthew Perry could have stuck around.

The actor’s slap-me dry delivery was way more palatable as Mike Kresteva, Peter’s political rival, than it is as Oscar on The Odd Couple. Damn you, Go On!

14. They took advantage of filming in NYC.

New York is not just the home of Law & Order franchise guest stars, it’s the home of Broadway stars, and many have had memorable turns on The Good Wife, including Renée Elise Goldsberry (ASA Geneva Pine), who just received a Tony nomination for her role in Hamilton, and Laura Benanti (Sweeney’s latest wife, Renata), who just earned her fifth career Tony nomination for She Loves Me.

15. They wrote sexy, accomplished women over 40.

On a show with Alicia and Diane, you’d expect nothing less, but let’s appreciate the juicy roles for women such as Rita Wilson (Diane’s old attorney friend Viola Walsh) and Vanessa Williams (the businesswoman/donor who broke Eli’s heart).

16. They built a believable family.

We all know where Alicia gets her love of wine — from her mother, Veronica (Stockard Channing) — and why she turned out okay (she had her brother, Owen, played by Dallas Roberts, to commiserate with). It was nice to see them return recently when, for at least a moment, there was a lightness to Alicia that matched theirs.

17. They gave us a millennial we didn’t hate!

Another welcome return: Eli’s daughter, Marissa, who is the only person we like to see outwit Eli and is second only to Gary on ‘Veep’ when it comes to our favorite body man (or woman). We still wish she was working for Alicia.

18. They always found new and different foils for Eli (Alan Cumming).

Eli was always at his best when he was maneuvering against someone. It didn’t matter whether it was a savvy teen mean girl (Dreama Walker’s wicked Becca), Peter’s manipulative mother (Mary Beth Peil’s delicious Jackie Florrick), or a more accomplished peer (Margo Martindale’s imposing Ruth Eastman).

19. They made us fall in love again.

After the shocking death of Will Gardner (Josh Charles), much of the audience, like Alicia, felt hollow. But Matthew Goode’s Finn Polmar, the ASA who’d been opposite Will when he was shot dead in court, filled us up again with a simmering promise of sexual tension. Even though Goode was ultimately billed as a series regular, you sensed he was just passing through (on his way to Downton Abbey). He left because he knew he couldn’t work closely with Alicia and not have things get “sloppy” between them. He left us wanting more (i.e. Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Jason).

20. They weren’t ageist, really.

Could it be the series’ happiest ending is reserved for Jackie and nap-loving firm relic Howard Lyman (Jerry Adler)?

21. They went with the unexpected.

Who wasn’t surprised to see Linda Lavin as Joy Grubick, Cary’s pretrial services officer? She was by the book, but even when she wouldn’t cut him a break for going half a mile over the state line, there was something calming in her slow-talking voice that made it difficult to get angry with her.

22. They warmed our hearts.

Clarke Hayden (played by Nathan Lane, who was nominated for an Emmy for his guest turn) was a court-appointed trustee whose job was to trim the fat at Lockhart/Gardner. He eventually grew close to Cary (Matt Czuchry) — who, in the backstory Lane created for the character in his own mind, reminded Clarke of his son who’d died of an overdose — and got to put David Lee (Zach Grenier) in his place. With the rat race tearing so many characters down, it’s nice to see the firm build someone up.

23. They created their own version of Snowden.

Some people loved the NSA story arc, some people thought it dragged on a bit too long, but everyone can agree how fun it was to see Silicon Valley’s Zach Woods recur as Jeff Dellinger. And let’s not forget about his former cubemates, led by Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie.

24. They even knew how to cast the right dog.

Just when you thought you’d seen every quirk on ‘The Good Wife,’ we were introduced to Elsbeth’s ex-husband, Mike Tascioni (Will Patton), who shares custody of their absurdly chill Chihuahua mix (played by a one-and-a-half-year-old rescue dog named Louie). “We’ve been interested in the idea of emotional support dogs, and it made sense to us, as we built the Mike character, that he might benefit from one,” ‘Good Wife’ executive producer Craig Turk told Yahoo TV. “Then it felt like high-strung Elsbeth might benefit, too. And if you begin to imagine what the dog in that situation would feel like… you get Tom. I named him Tom because, when writing the Mike character for the first time, I described him as hero-worshipping Atticus Finch — so, the ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ connection.”

25. And finally, on the rare occasion they made a misstep, the role (read: Kalinda’s ex) was cast with someone who’d make it easy to forget.

Sorry, Marc Warren.

Every NFL team's biggest do-over: Russell Wilson's Super Bowl pick, Jackie Smith's drop headline all-time list

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/nfl/every-nfl-teams-biggest-do-over-russell-wilsons-super-bowl-pick-jackie-smiths-drop-headline-all-time-list/

Every NFL team's biggest do-over: Russell Wilson's Super Bowl pick, Jackie Smith's drop headline all-time list

For every thrilling pick six, last-second touchdown pass, and breathtaking run, there’s a gut-wrenching drop, a jaw-dropping turnover or a head-scratching coaching decision that has left a permanent mark on an NFL team and their fan base. Some of these moments have been forgiven over time, while others continue to haunt the franchise and the fans who witnessed the moment.

With the 2021 season just around the corner, we decided to take a look at each NFL team’s most desired do-over. As criteria for our list, we decided to identify plays where the team made the mistake as opposed to the opponent making a great play. For example, Joe Montana’s game-winning touchdown pass to Dwight Clark against the Cowboys in the 1981 NFC Championship Game was more of a great play by Montana and Clark and not a breakdown by the Cowboys defense.

Without further ado, let’s get started.

Arizona Cardinals: Kurt Warner’s pick six (Super Bowl XLIII)

After falling behind early, the Cardinals threatened to take the lead over the favored Steelers just before halftime. Instead of blitzing Warner, Steelers linebacker James Harrison moved back into coverage, where he stepped in front of Warner’s pass for Anquan Boldin at the goal line. Harrison then completed the longest pick six in Super Bowl history, a play that helped the Steelers defeat the Cardinals, 27-23. While there were several other plays the Cardinals likely wished they had back, Warner surely wishes he would have focused more on where Harrison — the league’s Defensive Player of the Year that season — was before firing his ill-advised pass.

Atlanta Falcons: Don’ta Hightower’s sack/forced fumble (Super Bowl LI)

If given the opportunity to do it again, then-Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan would have called a running play with the Falcons ahead 28-12 and facing a third-and-1 on the Patriots’ 36-yard line with 8:31 remaining in Super Bowl LI. Instead of giving the ball to one of his backs, Shanahan called for a pass play which resulted in Don’ta Hightower forcing a sack/forced fumble of Matt Ryan that was scooped up by Alan Branch. The Patriots made it a one-possession game two minutes later, and would go on to pull off the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history.

Buffalo Bills: Bruce Smith’s safety (Super Bowl XXV)

While it did not give them their desired result, the Bills had no chance but to bring out Scott Norwood to attempt a 47-yard kick (he had never made a kick of that distance on grass) with eight seconds left their 20-19 Super Bowl XXV loss. One quarter earlier, the Bills’ inability to stop Mark Ingram on a pivotal third-and-13 was more of a great play by Ingram and not a lapse in defense by the Bills. A play that sticks out just as much — if not more — than those plays was Bruce Smith’s sack of Jeff Hostetler with 8:52 remaining in the second quarter. While the sack resulted in a safety, Smith was unable to jar the football loose from Hostetler, who held on to the ball despite Bruce grabbing his right wrist. Had Bruce been able to force a fumble and either he or a teammate recovered it in the end zone, Buffalo would have led 17-3. Given how methodical the Giants offense moved in order to score points, a touchdown there may have made the difference in what was the smallest margin of victory in Super Bowl history.

Baltimore Ravens: Third and just short (2011 AFC Championship Game)

Trailing 23-20, Baltimore still had one timeout as it faced a second-and-1 on the Patriots’ 14-yard line with 27 seconds left in the AFC Championship Game. After Lee Evans dropped what would have been a sure touchdown, the Ravens attempted another pass at the same defender (Sterling Moore) that fell incomplete. Baltimore then eschewed going for the win and likely regretted its decision after Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard attempt. With the benefit of hindsight, the Ravens probably would have tried a run on third down before using their third and final timeout.

Carolina Panthers: John Kasay’s misstep (Super Bowl XXXVIII)

One of the best kickers of his era, Kasay committed a costly error when he kicked the ball out of bounds just after the Panthers had tied Super Bowl XXXVIII. With a short field to work with, Tom Brady quickly moved the Patriots into field goal range, where Adam Vinatieri booted the game-winning kick in a 32-29 win. If given the chance at a do-over, Kasay said he would have kicked the ball “right down the hash” instead of trying to pin the kickoff near the right sideline.

Cincinnati Bengals: Lewis Billups’ dropped pick (Super Bowl XXIII)

Points were at a premium in Super Bowl XXIII. The game’s first touchdown wasn’t scored until Stanford Jennings’ 93-yard kickoff return gave the Bengals a 10-3 lead at the end of the third quarter. Less than two minutes later, Bengals cornerback Lewis Billups dropped what would have been an interception in the Bengals’ end zone. Joe Montana — who never threw an interception in 122 Super Bowl pass attempts — hit Jerry Rice for the game-tying score. Cincinnati regained the lead (at 16-13) before Montana led the 49ers on an epic game-winning drive for a 20-16 victory.

Cleveland Browns: Right Right 88 (1980 AFC divisional playoff)

While a field goal would have given them the lead, the Browns attempted a pass on second down from the Raiders’ 13-yard line with under a minute to play in their 14-12 loss in the divisional round of the 1980 playoffs. Brian Sipe, after being instructed by coach Sam Rutigliano to “throw it into Lake Erie” if his receiver wasn’t open, threw a pass to tight end Ozzie Newsome that was intercepted by Oakland defensive back Mike Davis. Despite torrid weather conditions that contributed to the Browns being unsuccessful on four previous kicks, it’s safe to say that the Browns would have tried something other than Red Right 88, the play that ended their memorable season.

Chicago Bears: Rex’s gross pick six (Super Bowl XLI)

The Bears were still very much in Super Bowl XLI with 12 minutes to play. That changed, however, when quarterback Rex Grossman threw an ill-advised pass for Muhsin Muhammad that was intercepted by Kelvin Hayden and returned for a 56-yard touchdown, the final score in the Colts’ 29-17 win. Instead of throwing to Muhammad (who caught a 22-yard pass on the previous play) in a torrential downpour, the Bears would have been better-served giving the ball in that situation to running back Thomas Jones, who rushed for 112 yards on only 15 carries.

Dallas Cowboys: Jackie Smith’s drop (Super Bowl XIII)

Dallas was on the verge of tying Super Bowl XIII near the end of the third quarter. Facing a third down at its own 10-yard line, Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach found a wide open Jackie Smith in the Steelers’ end zone. Smith’s drop was the first of three massive Cowboys miscues that allowed the Steelers to take a 35-17 lead en route to a 35-31 win. Staubach, if given the chance to try his fateful pass again, said he wouldn’t have lobbed his pass to Smith, who missed his one opportunity to win a Super Bowl in what was a 16-year Hall of Fame career.

Denver Broncos: ‘Giant’ mistake (Super Bowl XXI)

Despite having Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway at his disposal, offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan called consecutive running plays from the 2-yard line midway through the second quarter of Super Bowl XXI. After Giants linebacker Harry Carson nailed Gerald Willhite for no gain on second down, New York linebacker Carl Banks stuffed Sammy Winder for a 4-yard loss on third down. Ahead 10-7, the Broncos failed to extend their lead after Rich Karlis missed a 23-yard field goal, the shortest attempted miss in Super Bowl history. Karlis ended the half with another miss (this one 34 yards), as Denver was outscored 32-10 following the Giants’ goal-line stand en route to a 39-20 loss.

Detroit Lions: Questionable fourth-down decision (2014 wild card playoff)

Anthony Hitchens’ coverage of Brandon Pettigrew late in the Lions’ 2014 wild card playoff game against the Cowboys is one of the worst non-calls in NFL playoff history. That being said, the Lions’ decision to punt on the ensuing play — they faced a fourth-and-1 on the Cowboys’ 46-yard line with 8:25 left — was one they immediately regretted after Sam Martin shanked the punt. With a short field, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo turned a 20-17 deficit into a 24-20 victory. Along with the fourth-down decision, the Lions twice settled for field goals earlier in the game when a touchdown may have put the game away.

Green Bay Packers: Mike Holmgren’s hiccup (Super Bowl XXXII)

The Packers had no answer for Terrell Davis in Super Bowl XXXII. Despite missing just about the entire second quarter with a migraine headache, Davis had rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns on his first 29 carries. His 30th carry resulted in his third touchdown that gave Denver a 31-24 lead with 1:47 left. While the Packers had not come up with a way to stop him, coach Mike Holmgren instructed his defense to let Davis score in order to give Brett Favre and the Packers more time at the end of the game. Favre ultimately drove the Packers to Denver’s 31-yard line before firing three straight incomplete passes. While Davis likely would have scored regardless, Holmgren’s decision to make it a certainty was not viewed well by Packers fans.

Houston Texans: A missed opportunity (2019 AFC divisional playoff)

Leading 21-0 in the divisional round of their 2019 playoff game against the Chiefs, the Texans probably felt OK settling for a field goal with 10:58 remaining in the second quarter to stretch their lead to 24-0. Houston likely regretted its decision not to go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Chiefs’ 13-yard line after Patrick Mahomes got the Chiefs on the scoreboard less than a minute later. Kansas City scored again shortly after Houston failed to convert on a fourth-and-4 run. Things only got worse from there, as the Chiefs scored 51 of the game’s final 58 points en route to a 51-31 win. Would a 31-0 lead have been enough to break the Chiefs’ spirit? Texans fans will never know.

Indianapolis Colts: Manning’s miscue (Super Bowl XLIV)

Three years after winning his first Super Bowl, Peyton Manning and the Colts had a chance to tie Super Bowl XLIV against the Saints after falling behind 24-17. Facing a third-and-5 at the Saints’ 31-yard line, Manning uncharacteristically locked into his receiver, Reggie Wayne, allowing Tracy Porter to step in front of Wayne en route to a 74-yard pick six that capped a 31-17 New Orleans win. It’s safe to say that Manning would like to have that pass back.

Kansas City Chiefs: Dee Ford’s penalty (2018 AFC Championship Game)

This one was easy. Had Ford stayed onside, Charvarius Ward’s interception of Tom Brady would have stood, giving the Chiefs the ball and a four-point lead with 54 seconds left in the 2018 AFC Championship Game. Instead, the Patriots went on to defeat the Chiefs in overtime. The Chiefs won the following Super Bowl, but they missed out possibly winning another Super Bowl during Patrick Mahomes’ first season under center.

Los Angeles Chargers: What about L.T.? (2006 AFC divisional playoff)

With the scored tied late in their 2006 divisional round playoff game against the Patriots, the Chargers inexplicably forgot about LaDainian Tomlinson, the league’s MVP during the regular season. After a 5-yard run by Tomlinson on first down, quarterback Philip Rivers then threw an incomplete pass on second down, stopping the clock. Adding insult to injury was that the Chargers wasted a timeout after the incomplete pass, which they badly needed after falling behind with 1:14 left. Instead of having the timeout, Nate Kaeding was forced to try a 54-yard field goal with eight seconds left, a kick that hooked wide to the right in a 24-21 loss.

Los Angeles Rams: Vince Ferragamo’s one mistake (Super Bowl XIV)

Vince Ferragamo, a backup who led the Rams to the Super Bowl following Pat Haden’s late-season injury, outplayed eventual game MVP Terry Bradshaw for most of Super Bowl XIV. But with the Rams trailing the Steelers 24-19 late in the game, Ferragamo made his only mistake when he forced a pass through the middle of the Steelers defense that was intercepted by Jack Lambert deep in Pittsburgh territory. Making matters worse was that Ferragamo missed a wide-open Billy Waddy, who was left uncovered on a post pattern. The Steelers put the game away on their ensuing possession and went on to win 31-19.

Jacksonville Jaguars: More pressure on Brady (2017 AFC Championship Game)

Despite not parlaying Myles Jack’s forced turnover into points, the Jaguars still held a 20-10 lead over the Patriots with less than nine minutes remaining in the 2017 AFC Championship Game. The Jaguars, however, missed a golden opportunity to increase their odds at victory after allowing Tom Brady to complete a 21-yard pass to Danny Amendola on third-and-18 from the Patriots’ 25-yard line. The Patriots ended up scoring a touchdown on the drive and would ultimately defeat the Jaguars, 24-20. If given the chance at a do-over, it’s safe to say that the Jaguars would have rushed more than four players on that crucial third-down play.

Miami Dolphins: Kim Bokamper’s missed pick six (Super Bowl XVII)

The Dolphins’ Killer B’s held Washington to just 13 points through the first three quarters of Super Bowl XVII. With a 17-13 lead, Miami nearly took control of the game after defensive end Kim Bokamper nearly caught his own deflection of Joe Theismann’s pass inside Washington’s 5-yard line. Had Bokamper hung on to the pass, he would have waltzed into the end zone while giving the Dolphins a double-digit lead. Instead, Washington scored the go-ahead touchdown on John Riggins’ iconic 42-yard run on its next possession. The Dolphins ended up losing the game 27-17.

Minnesota Vikings: Brett Favre’s faux pas (2009 NFC Championship Game)

The Vikings were on the verge of punching their Super Bowl ticket near the end of the 2009 NFC Championship Game in New Orleans. With the scored tied 28-28, the Vikings had the ball at the Saints’ 33-yard line with 19 seconds left. But after a penalty pushed them back 5 yards, quarterback Brett Favre — instead of running for several yards, calling a timeout and setting up a game-winning field goal attempt — forced an errant pass that was picked off by Tracy Porter. Minnesota never got the ball back and ultimately lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Saints in overtime 31-28.

New England Patriots: David Tyree’s helmet catch (Super Bowl XLII)

Former Giants receiver David Tyree’s catch in Super Bowl XLII was incredible, but it’s safe to say that, had this play been attempted 1,000 times, Tyree’s improbable helmet catch wouldn’t have been duplicated. Similar to Brady’s third-down completion in the 2017 AFC title game, Bill Belichick likely would have put more heat on Eli Manning (New England rushed four players) if he had the chance of a do-over. Unfortunately for him, Belichick can’t reverse history, as the 2007 Patriots go down in the books as the greatest team not to win the Super Bowl.

New Orleans Saints: Alvin! (2019 NFC Championship Game)

Alvin and the Chipmunk’s Dave never forgot about his Alvin, and Sean Payton should have given Alvin Kamara another touch late in the Saints’ 2019 NFC Championship Game matchup against the Rams. While they were victim of one of the worst missed calls in NFL history, the Saints nevertheless should have given either Kamara or Mark Ingram the ball on third-and-10 from the Rams’ 13-yard line with 1:49 left. Had the Saints run the ball, they would have forced the Rams to either call their third timeout or let 40 seconds drip off of the clock. Instead, the Saints — after temporarily taking the lead on Will Lutz’s field goal — gave the Rams just enough time to tie things up to force overtime. The Saints lost 26-23 in overtime in what was their best shot at returning to a Super Bowl with Drew Brees as their quarterback.

New York Giants: Manning’s misstep (2008 NFC divisional playoff)

Keith Hamilton’s phantom holding call (negating Jessie Armstead’s game-tying pick six) in the second quarter of Super Bowl XXXV against the Ravens was considered, but there’s nothing the Giants can/could do about a bad call. They could, however, have called a better play for Eli Manning with their season on the line in the divisional round of the 2008 playoffs. Down 20-11 and facing a fourth-and-1 on their own 44 at the start of the fourth quarter, the Giants passed on giving the ball to either Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward (who combined to rush for 138 yards on 31 carries that day) and instead had Manning lunge into the teeth of the Eagles defense. Manning was unable to convert, and the Giants’ title defense ended with a 23-11 loss to the visiting Eagles.

New York Jets: Killer B’s get the best of Rex (2010 AFC Championship Game)

The Jets rallied from 24 points down to pull to within five points of the Steelers with 3:09 left in the 2010 AFC Championship Game. After using all three of their timeouts, the Jets forced the Steelers into a third-and-6 from New York’s 40-yard line with 2:38 left. Rex Ryan’s defense was unable to stop Ben Roethlisberger, however, as Roethlisberger rolled to his right before hitting Antonio Brown, who was in single coverage against a linebacker, to ice a 24-19 victory. Ryan, whose team lost in the AFC title game for a second consecutive year, would undoubtedly try something else against Big Ben if given the opportunity.

Las Vegas/Oakland Raiders: Franco’s Immaculate Reception

The Tuck Rule play was also considered here, but similar to Keith Hamilton’s holding call, you can’t do much about a questionable call. Conversely, the odds of Jack Tatum deflecting Terry Bradshaw’s pass right to the feet of Franco Harris happening the way it did a second time is about as likely as Aaron Rodgers showing up in Green Bay anytime soon (too soon, Packers fans?). There’s also the chance that Jimmy Warren could have tackled Harris before he reached the end zone if given a do-over. Alas, John Madden’s team can’t reverse history, as the Immaculate Reception remains one of the NFL’s indelible plays.

Philadelphia Eagles: Barber closes down The Vet (2002 NFC Championship Game)

Down 20-10, the Eagles were on the verge of making it a three-point game with 3:27 left in the 2002 NFC Championship Game against the Buccaneers. After two consecutive completions to Antonio Freeman, Donovan McNabb looked his way one too many times. On first-and-goal from the Buccaneers’ 10-yard line, McNabb’s pass intended for Freeman was picked off by Rhonde Barber, who stepped in front of Freeman before racing across the field for the game-clinching score. In hindsight, McNabb probably would have thrown the ball to Duce Staley, who was open on the other side of the hash marks. The loss was the Eagles’ final game at Veterans Stadium, the franchise’s home for more than 30 years.

San Francisco 49ers: Garoppolo’s overthrow (Super Bowl LIV)

Despite two quick touchdowns by the Chiefs, the 49ers still had a chance to win Super Bowl LIV with 2:44 to go. Facing a third-and-10 on the Chiefs’ 49-yard line, Jimmy Garoppolo overthrew Emmanuel Sanders — who had managed to get behind the secondary — by several yards. Had Garoppolo not overthrown Sanders, the 49ers likely would have scored the go-ahead touchdown. Instead, Garoppolo was sacked by Frank Clark on the ensuing play. Damien Williams’ 38-yard touchdown two plays later sealed the Chiefs’ 31-20 victory.

Seattle Seahawks: The interception (Super Bowl XLIX)

This one was easy. Down 28-24 late in Super Bowl XLIX, a 33-yard-completion from Russell Wilson to Jermaine Kearse put the Seahawks in position to win their second consecutive Super Bowl. After a 4-yard run by Marshawn Lynch got Seattle to New England’s 1-yard line with 26 seconds left, the Seahawks elected not to give the ball to Beast Mode and instead called for Wilson to throw a slant pass to Ricardo Lockette. While Lockette was initially open, rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler jumped in front of him to record arguably the greatest defensive play in Super Bowl history.

Pittsburgh Steelers: The play before ‘the pick’ (Super Bowl XXX)

Neil O’Donnell’s second interception to Cowboys cornerback Larry Brown in Super Bowl XXX is largely to blame for the Steelers’ first Super Bowl loss. But had Andre Hastings not dropped O’Donnell’s pass on the previous play (he was wide open and likely would have given the Steelers a first down near midfield with about four minutes remaining), O’Donnell likely wouldn’t have made his costly mistake that turned a three-point game into a 27-17 loss. Adding insult to injury was the fact that Hastings was otherwise brilliant that day; he caught a Steelers Super Bowl record 10 passes for 98 yards while being one of the main reasons why the Steelers nearly upset the favored Cowboys.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Warner’s perfect pass (1999 NFC Championship Game)

Shaun King’s ruled incomplete pass to Bert Emanuel (it would have counted in today’s NFL) sealed the Buccaneers’ fate in their 11-6 loss to the Rams in the 1999 NFC Championship Game. But that play wouldn’t have mattered had Kurt Warner not hit Ricky Proehl for the go-ahead score with 4:50 remaining. Despite playing a near-perfect game against the “Greatest Show on Turf,” the Buccaneers’ pass rush just missed getting to Warner, whose pass just evaded the reach of cornerback Brian Kelly. Arriving just after Proehl pulled in Warner’s pass was Hall of Fame safety John Lynch, who said he replayed the play in his head countless times in the days following the game.

Tennessee Titans: 1 yard away (Super Bowl XXXIV)

Spearheaded by Steve McNair’s Houdini-like effort, the Titans clawed to the Rams’ 10-yard line with five seconds remaining in Super Bowl XXXIV. Trailing 23-16, McNair hit Kevin Dyson on a slant pass 5 yards from the end zone. While Dyson appeared to have a clear path to the goal line, Rams linebacker Mike Jones, who had been covering tight end Frank Wycheck on the near sideline, turned his head at the last second before tackling Dyson 1 yard shy of the goal line. Had Wycheck done a better acting job, there’s a chance that he could have kept Jones’ attention while helping the Titans force overtime.

Washington Football Team: An unexpected defender (Super Bowl VII)

Down 14-0, Washington was threatening to make Super Bowl VII a one-score game late in the fourth quarter. On second-and-6 from the Dolphins’ 10-yard line, Billy Kilmer found tight end Jerry Smith wide open in the back of the end zone. The problem was that Kilmer’s pass never got there as it hit the cross bar. Eventual game MVP Jake Scott picked off Kilmer on the ensuing play. And while Mike Bass did make it a 14-7 game moments later on his 49-yard fumble return, Washington was never able to close the gap on Miami, the NFL’s first and last undefeated team.

21 Awesome Parenting Moments From Pink

http://fashion-trendin.com/21-awesome-parenting-moments-from-pink/

21 Awesome Parenting Moments From Pink

Pink might be one of the most beloved celebrity moms on social media.

The singer and her husband, Carey Hart, have a 7-year-old daughter named Willow and 1-year-old son named Jameson. Over the years, she has offered fans many glimpses into her life as a parent, from breastfeeding snaps to mom fail stories to moments of pure hilarity.

Her candor when it comes to the realities of motherhood on social media and in interviews has resonated with moms and dads around the world. In honor of her birthday on Saturday, here are 21 awesome parenting moments from Pink.

1. When she posted a funny pumping selfie:

“And now this #pumpupthejams #mombreak,” Pink captioned a hilarious mirror selfie that showed her pumping breast milk while in the U.K. for a few performances in August 2017.

2. When she told a hilarious story about her toddler dropping the F-bomb:

While appearing on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” in October 2014, Pink shared a story about a time when then 3-year-old Willow ran up to her before a performance and declared, “I’m fucking here!”

“I was like, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t. My ears don’t understand what you’re saying,’” the singer recalled, adding that it was still quite funny. “It’s so cute! I mean, I’m not encouraging it, but, come on, it’s like a little 3-year-old body and then …”

3. When she trolled her daughter:

In July 2016, the singer played a trick on her daughter involving a green face mask. “I told Willow I was turning into Shrek. She actually believed me and got super worried and told me to stop it before it was too late. Parenting is fun,” she wrote on Instagram.

4. When she and her family rocked matching suits at the VMAs:

Pink matched her husband and daughter in a suit and tie at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, and the family totally stole the show. Later that night, while accepting the Video Vanguard Award, she gave an empowering speech about teaching her daughter to love herself.

5. When she recounted an emotional mom encounter at the grocery store:

A really sweet Mama came up 2me tonight at the grocery store and told me some nice words about how she gets strength from my parenting cause I’m not afraid to fuck up in public. We cried together. It’s so hard. Y’all. I wish us mamas could give ourselves and each other a break.

— P!nk (@Pink) December 28, 2017

In December 2017, Pink tweeted about a heartwarming parenting experience she had while shopping at the grocery store. Her reflection on the pressures of motherhood prompted a chorus of amens from her fellow moms.

6. When she opened up about her miscarriage:

Pink announced that was pregnant with Willow in 2010 on an episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” The singer said she delayed making the announcement because of her experience with pregnancy loss. “I didn’t want to talk about it because I was just really nervous, and I have had a miscarriage before.”

Her 2012 song “Beam Me Up,” which is reportedly about a close friend’s experience with infant loss, has resonated with women who have experienced miscarriage and other forms of loss as well.

7. When she shared her Elf on the Shelf fail:

Like many parents before her, Pink has succumbed to the pressure of Elf on the Shelf. In December 2017, the singer posted a photo of a note her daughter wrote to Santa Claus after her mom forgot to move the family Elf, Chippy.

“Santa, I am worried about Chippy, he has been in the same spot for 3 days. I don’t know why,” the note read, according to the mom’s kid-to-grown-up English translation. “Translation: MOM FAIL,” Pink captioned the photo, along with the hashtag #elfonthesamedamnshelf.

8. When she captured a hilarious “family meeting” photo:

In August, Hart shared a funny photo that resonated with many parents. The picture, which Pink captured, shows the dad just trying to use the bathroom in peace as his kids interrupt for a family meeting.

“Dude, can I just take a shit?? Family meetings always have to happen when I’m pissing off IG,” he wrote in the Instagram caption.

9. When she shut down breastfeeding shamers:

While appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in September 2016, Pink calmly explained why it’s weird to shame women for nursing in public.

“[People have] strong opinions about things that don’t affect their life at all. I’m feeding my kid. Would you rather him scream? Because he’s very capable of that, too,” she said.

10. When she shared some too-real parenting texts:

In September 2017, Pink posted a screenshot of some hilarious texts that sum up how parents really feel about babies.

“Why do babies cry so much. I feel like he’s fucking with me at this point,” Pink wrote … to which her friend bluntly replied, “Babies are cunts.” The singer wrote back, “Hahaha. My next single.”

11. When she slayed the family Halloween costume game:

On Halloween in 2017, Pink posted some throwback photos showing her family costumes over the years. The best was her “all time favorite” costume when she, Willow and Hart went as “E.T.” characters.

12. When she got real about the most humbling part of parenting

When she appeared on the cover of People’s Beautiful issue in 2018, Pink opened up about raising kids.

“The thing about parenting is you never know if anything you’re doing is working,” she said. “That’s been the most humbling thing for me. In my head, I sound amazing and then I turn around and [Willow’s] eyes are completely glazed over. I have no idea. We’ll see.”

13. When she gave her daughter a cake with Matt Damon:

While appearing on “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” in April 2016, Pink revealed that her daughter loves the movie “The Martian.”

“She asked me if Matt Damon can come to [her birthday party]. I think she has a crush,” said the singer. Although Damon didn’t make it to her birthday party in June, he was there in spirit, as Pink fittingly gave her daughter a “Martian”-themed birthday cake.

14. When she normalized breastfeeding:

Over the years, Pink has shared many breastfeeding photos, including a sweet throwback picture she posted during World Breastfeeding Week in 2016.

“I proudly post this photo of a very HEALTHY, NATURAL act between mother and child. Taken in Helsinki by a very supportive and proud Papa,” she wrote in the caption.

15. When she got real about her post-baby body:

Six weeks after giving birth to Jameson, Pink posted a selfie with her trainer at the gym. “Week 6 post baby and I haven’t lost ANY WEIGHT YET!!!!” she wrote in the caption. “Yaye me!!!!! I’m normal!”

16. When she accidentally got her kid’s age wrong:

I made a thing with @AppleMusic! It’s a documentary about #BeautifulTrauma – Check out this trailer pic.twitter.com/NfQeRwG7Sa

— P!nk (@Pink) October 5, 2017

In her 2017 documentary, “Beautiful Trauma,” Pink had a slip of the tongue when she accidentally referred to her infant son as an 8-year-old. The funniest part was the exhausted mom’s reaction to her blunder: “Ah, shit!”

17. When she shamed mom shamers:

Uh oh. Now I’m a mommy shamer shamer.

— P!nk (@Pink) December 7, 2016

After posting a photo of herself sitting in front of the microwave after heating her coffee in December 2016, Pink received criticism for her choice of beverage and proximity to the microwave while pregnant.

Amused by the criticism, the singer tweeted a lighthearted Scary Mommy article about the shaming. “This was a really good laugh,” she wrote. “Enjoy over a cup of coffee.” She followed up with another tweet: “Uh oh. Now I’m a mommy shamer shamer.”

18. When she marched for equality with her family:

The singer participated in the Women’s March in Santa Barbara, California, on Jan. 21, 2017 ― along with her husband, daughter and baby son.

19. When she and Willow rocked the CMA Awards red carpet:

Pink brought Willow to the 51st Country Music Association Awards, where the mother-daughter duo wore ruffled gowns on the red carpet.

20. When she posted the perfect pumping selfie for wine-loving moms:

In October 2017, Pink shared a pumping selfie featuring a hard-earned bottle of wine. “When you’re almost done pumping and you know what’s next,” she wrote in the caption on Instagram.

21. When she summed up parenthood in one Instagram post:

In March 2017, Pink posted a photo of herself sleeping with baby Jameson on her chest. She captioned the Instagram picture, “Oh my god I’m so tired my soul has a headache but I’m so okay with it so whatever I’m just gonna take this little catnap real quick wake me up in ten seconds.”

Who gained and misplaced the NBA offseason? Are these Lakers locks to make the playoffs?

With practically all the most important strikes within the books, our NBA specialists reply the massive free-agency, commerce and draft questions.

1. Which was the very best transfer of the NBA offseason?

Chris Herring, FiveThirtyEight: I really feel obligated to say LeBron James, provided that he is the very best participant on the planet. However in the event you’re the Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder, it’s a must to really feel prefer it was locking in Paul George after making the large gamble to commerce for him with out figuring out whether or not he’d keep within the small market. On prime of that, the Thunder bought out from beneath the final yr of Carmelo Anthony’s deal (and all the luxurious tax funds it might have triggered) and managed to get a helpful participant out of it. They will not win a title due to these two issues, however they got here out of all of it fairly nicely, all issues thought-about.

Kevin Arnovitz, ESPN.com: The Los Angeles Lakers signed the very best participant within the recreation. The acquisition immediately rescues a workforce that has spent the previous a number of seasons within the NBA wilderness and restores its model to among the many most related in skilled sports activities. The Lakers nonetheless must assemble some extra items, be it one other marquee free agent or the maturation of a few their younger prospects into bona fide top-shelf abilities, however the golden hue across the Lakers has formally returned.

Jackie MacMullan, ESPN.com: The most effective transfer was essentially the most anticlimactic, essentially the most predictable and the obvious. By no means thoughts that there was a run on graffiti paint since LeBron took his abilities to Redondo Seaside. The Lakers bought their man, the juice of a “massive identify” that pumps new life into the Lakers’ hype machine and an opportunity to place themselves for a game-changing summer time in 2019. Within the meantime, LeBron will settle into his L.A. digs and type by means of the — ahem — colourful solid of characters who’ve joined him. Anytime you signal the very best participant within the recreation, you win. Easy as that.

Brian Windhorst, ESPN.com: Signing the very best participant within the recreation was fairly good for the Lakers, though the Thunder maintaining Paul George was such a monumental second for the franchise that I type of really feel prefer it needs to be put in a particular class. It completely set them up for the following three seasons.

Kevin Pelton, ESPN Insider: I am selecting to interpret this as a transfer with the very best diploma of problem — or, in different phrases, not the Lakers signing LeBron James. In that case, I am going with the Toronto Raptors dealing for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Inexperienced. Though including Leonard is a high-risk transfer due to his harm and impending free company, the Raptors gave up so little along with DeMar DeRozan (middle Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round choose) that even when Leonard leaves after this season, the commerce can nonetheless be a constructive transfer for them.

2. Which offseason transfer is least prone to work out?

Arnovitz: We’ll grade the Washington Wizards on a curve as a result of it is unlikely that they imagine the acquisitions of Dwight Howard, Jeff Inexperienced and Austin Rivers vault them towards the highest of the Japanese Convention. However sooner or later, the Wizards would possibly must take a chilly, sober have a look at the roster and measure whether or not they imagine their core, as at the moment constituted, has a robust likelihood of taking part in for an Japanese Convention title. It would very nicely be that the core in query is their finest shot, however the full vary of choices — nevertheless radical — needs to be explored.

Plenty of All-Stars have modified groups recently. Is one thing fallacious, or is the NBA simply getting sensible?

Kevin Pelton offers team-by-team evaluation of free agent strikes as July involves an finish.

1 Associated

Herring: I actually do not see an excellent match for Jabari Parker in Chicago. I totally perceive the gamble — and the truth that the contract is principally assured for under a single season — however pairing him with Zach LaVine on the wing defensively is basically an invite for opposing gamers to go to the basket at any time when they need. The hope is that his scoring will make up for this. However for all of the scoring items Parker possesses, he is out of place on protection at small ahead. Sadly, that is the place the Bulls plan to play him. I do not see it working.

MacMullan: Does inertia rely as an precise transfer? You need to marvel how each Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute walked away from a workforce that was one strained hamstring away from advancing to the NBA Finals. Nobody can persuade me that the Houston Rockets are higher now than they had been one brief month in the past.

Ariza’s determination to decide on the money ($15 million is a wholesome haul at this level of his profession, although not the humorous cash JJ Redick coaxed out of Philly final summer time) was a bit stunning, and Houston die-hards will fortunately level out that the workforce was 15-1 in video games Ariza did not play final season. Truthful sufficient. However the Rockets oozed nice chemistry and can be examined to protect that with out two team-first guys. Including Carmelo Anthony can be a low-risk, high-reward state of affairs, and he fares higher on a workforce that values spacing, however has he lastly realized that you could nonetheless make candy music as a second (or third or fourth) fiddle?

Pelton: Many of the Lakers’ signings after LeBron might qualify, however I am going with giving Lance Stephenson a one-year, $four.45 million deal. That is barely greater than the $four.Three million workforce choice the Indiana Pacers declined days earlier, which implies they clearly did not assume he was definitely worth the cash. And bear in mind, Indiana is the one place Stephenson has discovered success in his NBA profession. As a poor outdoors shooter (29 % from Three-point vary final season) who’s finest with the ball in his fingers, Stephenson is ill-suited to slot in L.A.

Windhorst: Dwight Howard has arrived with fanfare for the previous three summers working. It appears the Wizards are banking on him being an influence participant, however that may be a departure from how the again finish of his profession has gone. We’ll see if he can buck the development. There’s cause to be doubtful.

Are the Lakers locks to make the playoffs? David Richard/USA TODAY Sports activities

Three. Which was essentially the most underrated transfer (or set of strikes)?

MacMullan: I am a fan of what the Denver Nuggets did, beginning with drafting Michael Porter Jr., who stays arguably essentially the most proficient participant within the draft. They re-signed Nikola Jokic (10 triple-doubles in 2017-18, trailing solely that of Russell Westbrook, LeBron and Ben Simmons) and sneaky good Will Barton. Additionally they paid a pittance to guess on Isaiah Thomas, who can rating in bunches and power the problem in transition in the proper setting. That chip on IT’s shoulder has been upgraded to a full-fledged boulder, and he is at his finest when individuals are counting him out. The primary goal right here is to verify he does not muck up the continued improvement of 21-year-old Jamal Murray, a younger, emotional participant who has an opportunity to change into a cornerstone.

This is the most recent on one other thrilling summer time within the NBA:

• Free-agency information, buzz and rumors • NBA Commerce Machine: Make your personal offers • Lowe: Winners and losers | Ranking the offers • Particulars on every new free-agent contract • Workforce-by-team free brokers for ’18 and ’19 • Commerce tracker: Grades and particulars • World of Woj: Newest information | Transactions

Windhorst: I believed the Grizzlies had a pleasant summer time, including two high quality function gamers in Garrett Temple and Kyle Anderson and drafting a man in Jaren Jackson Jr. who I believe may also help straight away. Mike Conley says he’s pain-free. The Grizz are poised for a turnaround.

Arnovitz: There wasn’t any ingenious front-office witchcraft this offseason outdoors of the collective restraint throughout the league, however maybe the New Orleans Pelicans. They resisted the temptation to pay massive cash to DeMarcus Cousins, then crammed out their roster with a few reasonably priced gamers — one fairly good (Julius Randle), the opposite serviceable with, no less than theoretically, some remaining upside (Elfrid Payton).

Honorable point out: The Memphis Grizzlies for getting Kyle Anderson and Garrett Temple, together with the Jaren Jackson Jr. choose.

Pelton: Brooklyn creating $16 million in extra cap area for the summer time of 2019 by swapping Timofey Mozgov for Dwight Howard, who was getting into the ultimate yr of his deal. Remarkably, after a buyout for Howard, the Nets gave up lower than $Three million in 2018 cap area to make that transfer, together with a pair of second-round picks and money. Good luck making an attempt to maneuver $16 million in wage for the same worth subsequent summer time.

Herring: I truly actually appreciated the Pacers’ summer time. In excellent Indiana style, the membership did not do something all that flashy. Tyreke Evans was possible a needed man across the league, and I am positive a handful of groups might have discovered good suits for Doug McDermott and Kyle O’Quinn. However all of them crammed wants for this membership, which was fairly rattling good final season and did not lose something of worth this summer time. If a handful of issues break proper, the Pacers might make some actual noise within the Japanese Convention playoffs subsequent yr.

four. How assured are you that the Lakers will make the playoffs?

Windhorst: I am 50/50. Even LeBron is brazenly saying he thinks the Lakers can have robust “months.” The idea that these guys “all know easy methods to play basketball” or “all like to play” falls a bit hole on these ears. That is fairly the protection of the strikes. That stated, I acknowledge that what they’re in the present day might not be what they’re in February.

Herring: I am just about all-in on the Lakers making the playoffs, as long as LeBron stays wholesome as he all the time has. I actually don’t love the remainder of the strikes the workforce has made this summer time, as they appear to run counter to the route the league has moved as a complete. However between the expansion the younger, core gamers ought to present and LeBron’s greatness, I might anticipate the Lakers to succeed in the postseason.

MacMullan: Let’s do the mathematics. Eight groups come out of the Western Convention, so let’s rely off the Warriors, Rockets, Thunder, Spurs, Blazers and Jazz. That leaves two spots among the many Pelicans, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Clippers and Lakers. I am bullish on Denver (see above), and the Pelicans flourished at breakneck velocity as soon as Boogie Cousins went down and Nikola Mirotic joined the band. The Timberwolves needs to be a playoff workforce … proper? It could appear that the Lakers are the odd workforce out — besides I’ve seen this film earlier than. So many occasions. LeBron will drag these younger ‘uns into the postseason kicking and screaming.

Pelton: Not all that assured, however I am going to go into that extra within the close to future.

Arnovitz: Very assured. The cavalry of eccentric veterans on one-year offers is not the best supply of consolation, however a LeBron James-led workforce will qualify for the postseason, even in his 16th season and even within the rugged Western Convention.

5. What’s your daring prediction for subsequent season?

Pelton: The San Antonio Spurs will win fewer video games than they did final season.

Herring: The Portland Path Blazers will miss the playoffs, one season faraway from being the No. Three seed out West. Except for the truth that the Blazers seemingly stood pat (re-upping with Jusuf Nurkic and getting Seth Curry after dropping Shabazz Napier and Ed Davis), they watched different groups within the West — ones that had way more harm issues — get higher. The thought of a Boogie signing would have doubtlessly given them an unlimited shot within the arm, however Cousins and Nurkic having the identical agent killed any probability of that occuring. That is too dangerous as a result of it feels just like the Blazers wanted the type of shake-up the Raptors simply underwent.

Windhorst: I do not make predictions, daring or in any other case, however I’ll say that I anticipate three of the league’s 5 finest groups to be within the East. It is the weaker convention, however its prime is deeper.

MacMullan: Jakob Poeltl will emerge as greater than only a throw-in for the Spurs of their blockbuster cope with the Toronto Raptors. We have spent a lot time ruminating over Leonard’s weird determination to extricate himself from San Antonio by any means potential and DeRozan’s pained exit from the Raptors that we’ve not targeted very a lot on the extra items that accomplished the commerce. Poeltl is a strong defender and shot-blocker with good defensive instincts who wants some polish on the offensive finish. He shot a league-high 65.9 % from the ground, however most of these buckets had been from three ft in.

Give him a summer time with shot physician Chip Engelland, and possibly, simply possibly, he can present some midrange prowess. Within the meantime, he is a younger, in a position backup to Pau Gasol who will allow LaMarcus Aldridge to log extra time at his desired energy ahead spot.

Arnovitz: If he stays wholesome and may drag the Pelicans to 50 wins and/or a top-four seed, Anthony Davis will win his first most beneficial participant award.

Major League Baseball roundup: Yanks rally in 9th, beat Astros in 10th

After the Yankees stranded two in the ninth against Chris Devenski, rookie Miguel Andujar ripped a double down the left field line to start the winning rally.

Six pitches later, Torres won it by lining Brad Peacock’s 2-2 pitch in front of right fielder George Springer. Springer’s throw was up the line, and Andujar easily scored.

Alcides Escobar cracked a game-winning homer in the bottom of the 14th inning as Kansas City outlasted visiting Minnesota.

JT Riddle hit an inside-the-park homer for the Marlins in the ninth. Miami’s Justin Bour and Brian Anderson both collected two hits.

Diamondbacks 5, Reds 2

Daniel Descalso hit a two-run home run and Zack Godley broke a three-game losing streak as Arizona beat Cincinnati in Phoenix.

Braves 7, Mets 6

Johan Camargo hit the first pitch he saw for a solo home run with one out in the ninth to give host Atlanta a walk-off win over New York.

New York starter Steven Matz opened the game with three scoreless innings. He gave up one hit and two walks before leaving due to discomfort in the middle finger of his pitching hand. X-rays were negative, the Mets announced.

Red Sox 8, Blue Jays 3

Justin Smoak hit a solo shot, his eighth, and Curtis Granderson drove in a run for Toronto, which lost for the 12th time in 16 games.

Angels 9, Tigers 2

Luis Valbuena homered twice, and Ian Kinsler and Martin Maldonado also went deep as Los Angeles rolled to a win at Detroit.

The Angels’ Mike Scioscia collected his 1,600th career managerial victory. He passed former Los Angeles Dodgers manager and mentor Tommy Lasorda for 20th on the all-time managerial wins list.

Valbuena and Kinsler each had three hits, three runs and three RBIs. Maldonado had two hits and drove in three runs. Los Angeles starter Nick Tropeano (3-3) gave up two runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking none in 5 1/3 innings.

Cardinals 6, Brewers 1

Michael Wacha allowed two hits over 6 2/3 innings to help St. Louis record a victory at Milwaukee. Wacha (6-1) was charged with one run while winning his sixth consecutive decision.

Harrison Bader and Francisco Pena each went 3-for-4 with a homer while Matt Carpenter also went deep for the Cardinals. Jedd Gyorko went 2-for-5 with a two-run single as St. Louis won for the third time in its past four contests.

Milwaukee had just three hits as it saw its four-game winning streak come to a halt. The setback was just the Brewers’ third in the past 13 games.

Nationals 3, Orioles 2

Bryce Harper and Mark Reynolds both homered early, and Washington stretched its winning streak to five with a victory at Baltimore.

Harper homered in the first and Reynolds did the same in the fourth against Orioles starter Dylan Bundy (3-7).

Washington starter Jeremy Hellickson (2-0), who pitched part of 2017 with the Orioles, returned after blister issues in his previous start and made it through five innings. He allowed two runs on six hits.

Indians 7, White Sox 3

Jose Ramirez and Michael Brantley homered and drove in two runs apiece, and Cleveland cruised to a win over visiting Chicago.

Jason Kipnis had a solo home run for the Indians, who won their fourth game in a row, the team’s longest winning streak since early April. Cleveland’s Mike Clevinger (4-2) limited the White Sox to one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out seven.

Daniel Palka finished 2-for-4 with a double and a home run to lead the White Sox. Chicago has lost three straight and five of six.

New Post has been published on https://usviraltrends.com/heres-how-people-reacted-to-michelle-wolfs-white-house-correspondents-roast-2/

Here's how people reacted to Michelle Wolf's White House correspondent's roast

Embarrassing. Cringe-worthy. Epic. Hilarious. Wildly inappropriate. Very funny.

The debate is raging about Michelle Wolf’s stand-up act at the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual dinner.

Margaret Talev, The White House Correspondents Association president, discussed her decision to select Wolf as host on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” Sunday.

Talev said her “only regret is that, to some extent, those 15 minutes are now defining four hours of what was a really wonderful, unifying night.”

“Comedy is meant to be provocative,” she added, but “my interest overwhelmingly was in unifying the country, and I understand that we may have fallen a little bit short on that goal.”

The “winners,” so to speak, might be Wolf and President Trump. Wolf’s name is trending all over social media just a few weeks before the launch of her new Netflix show. And Trump is embracing Wolf as a foil — a symbol of liberal Hollywood elitism.

Trump said on Twitter Sunday morning that she “bombed.”

That might be true in Washington — where some prominent journalists joined Trump administration aides in criticizing Wolf’s raunchy jokes.

While Washington, Michigan, was a big success, Washington, D.C., just didn’t work. Everyone is talking about the fact that the White House Correspondents Dinner was a very big, boring bust…the so-called comedian really “bombed.” @greggutfeld should host next year! @PeteHegseth

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 29, 2018

But other writers, activists and comedians defended Wolf for roasting both the administration and the media.

Wolf seemed happy about the outcome. When former press secretary Sean Spicer tweeted that the dinner “was a disgrace,” Wolf replied, “Thank you!”

The stand-up act is now an object of partisan warfare. Charges of hypocrisy are flying fast, with commenters on the right blasting liberal intolerance and those on the left mocking conservative victimization.

Fox News correspondent Ed Henry, a past president of the association, says he wants the association to apologize to Sanders.

Here’s a look at the varying reactions to her roast:

Conservative outrage

Conservative activists said Wolf, who was selected to perform by the correspondents’ association, showed the media’s true colors with X-rated satire and personal swipes at press secretary Sarah Sanders, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway, and others in attendance.

The association “just confirmed everything we’ve said about liberal MSM from day one,” political advisor Healy Baumgardner tweeted afterward.

Former White House communications director Antony Scaramucci called Wolf’s performance an “atrocity.”

“I think the hostilities need to be de-escalated on both sides. It’s not just the White House,” Scaramucci said on “Reliable” Sunday. He added, “It doesn’t help what you’re trying to achieve and what, I think, all of us are trying to achieve.”

Many Washington journalists joined the activists in criticizing Wolf’s comments about Sanders, particularly the jabs at her physical appearance.

Wolf responded overnight on Twitter by saying “all these jokes were about her despicable behavior,” not looks.

Other attendees suggested some of Wolf’s material was needlessly cruel. There were also strong objections to her material about abortion.

White House aide Mercedes Schlapp and her husband Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, said they walked out early.

“Enough of elites mocking all of us,” Matt Schlapp tweeted.

Taking the other side of the argument were a variety of writers, liberal activists and comedians.

“Good lord people, it was a stand-up act. Get over yourselves. Or stop inviting comics and then acting shocked that they said something edgy,” MSNBC analyst Matthew Miller tweeted.

Matthew Dowd, a former George W. Bush campaign strategist, also said he had little sympathy for the complaints.

“If you are a Trump supporter or member of his administration and aren’t willing to condemn his vulgar and mean spirited behavior every day, then i don’t want to hear what you have to say about a comedian,” he wrote.

Wolf, a stand-up performer who previously contributed to “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” is trending just ahead of the launch of he half-hour talk show premiering on Netflix next month.

Both Wolf’s fans and detractors seemed to agree that it was a shocking performance, destined to go down in correspondents’ dinner history.

CNN analyst Joan Walsh compared it to Stephen Colbert’s 2006 stand-up act at the dinner, when Colbert challenged then-president Bush and members of the media.

“The crowd is scandalized (even some liberals), but a lot of people see it as the right reaction to the scandal that is @realDonaldTrump,” Walsh tweeted.

The controversy even renewed debate about the purpose of the black-tie affair, where members of the press corps celebrate journalism and mingle with sources.

Industry optics

Peter Baker of The New York Times, which pointedly does not participate in the dinner, tweeted afterward, “Unfortunately, I don’t think we advanced the cause of journalism tonight.”

CNN’s Jeff Zeleny replied and agreed with Baker: “So much important and amazing journalism this year — that should be the focus, when truth matters and is needed more than ever. It was an embarrassment in the room and surely to the audience at home.”

Meg Kinnard, a reporter with The Associated Press, expressed a similar concern.

If the dinner “did anything tonight, it made the chasm between journalists and those who don’t trust us, even wider. And those of us based in the red states who work hard every day to prove our objectivity will have to deal with it,” she tweeted.

Kyle Cheney of Politico said Wolf’s set “undermined an otherwise meaningful night.”

But there was a fierce response on social media from people who said, in essence, the correspondents association hired an edgy comedian. What were you expecting?

Wolf herself quipped about three minutes into the set, “Yeah, shoulda done more research before you got me to do this.”

The crowd laughed, not knowing what was to come.

Speaking on “Reliable” Sunday, Talev, the White House Correspondents’ Association president, pointed out that, per tradition, Wolf’s jokes were not pre-screened by the organization. And she defended Wolf for saying “what she thought was important to say.”

“Her goal might not have been press unity and everyone rallying around the room to support journalism. But, look, I invited her. And I invited her because I thought that she was a talented comedian with a message to deliver,” Talev said.

2018 Fantasy Baseball Draft Prep: 12-team Head-to-Head factors public sale outcomes

Our current 12-team Head-to-Head factors public sale ended up being far more than that.

It grew to become a research of diametrically opposed approaches and a 3rd that tried to search out center floor. And since the three house owners on the middle are those you could know from the Fantasy Baseball Immediately podcast, that makes it all of the extra enjoyable.

During the last couple years, focusing on beginning pitching early has turn out to be much less of a no-no in Fantasy Baseball, and that is very true on this format, the place there are fewer hitter spots to fill and no must stability quite a lot of classes, some scarcer than others. General manufacturing is all that issues, which significantly reduces the margin for error when choosing a hitter.

And in a power-laden surroundings the place everyone who’s anyone hits 20-plus dwelling runs, that margin for error is even smaller. How small? You might argue it is nearly nil, and I’ve theorized such. This public sale put it to the take a look at, although.

Straight away, it grew to become clear Heath Cummings and I entered with the identical technique: go laborious after the 4 tremendous aces (which, for the uninitiated, are Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber and Chris Sale). When the bidding reached $40, the 2 of us went forwards and backwards, and I blinked first in every occasion, not desirous to blow out my prescribed funds. Heath wound up with three of the 4 (all however Sale). I wound up with none.

Undeterred, I made a decision to seize as most of the second-tier beginning pitchers — all aces in their very own proper — as I might, understanding I might nonetheless avoid the shortage at that place whereas additionally leaving myself with extra money to fill out the remainder of my beginning lineup. Collectively, Heath and I bought eight of the consensus high 17 beginning pitchers, giving us a giant benefit on the place the place there’s arguably the largest benefit available. It is simply that Heath’s 4 (Kershaw, Scherzer, Kluber and Justin Verlander) ate up $180 of his $260 funds whereas my 4 (Madison Bumgarner, Zack Greinke, Noah Syndergaard and Dallas Keuchel) consumed solely $124.

On the opposite facet of the coin was Chris Towers, who forsook pitching for high-end hitting, investing 75 % of his funds in Jose Altuve, Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, Gary Sanchez and Aaron Choose. He needed to go the thrifty route at beginning pitcher, and it exhibits, along with his two costliest each presenting main danger and the remainder of his employees providing little to no chance of high-end manufacturing. That is to not say Tanner Roark and Dinelson Lamet aren’t helpful or intriguing, but when they’re among the many greatest he has, his drawback is just about locked in.

I spent considerably much less on hitting than Chris, however what? I feel mine is fairly good. I nonetheless acquired top-two gamers at two of the scarcest positions, catcher and second base, and 6 hitters in all who would go off the board within the first eight rounds of any draft. My outfield is weak, nevertheless it’s aggressive sufficient.

After which there’s Heath, who left himself subsequent to nothing to spend on hitting, and as you may count on, the hitter portion of his lineup is … wait, what?

H-how did he do this?

Do not get me incorrect: It is the worst assortment of hitters among the many three groups, however extra due to draw back than upside. Each one in every of his beginning 9 belongs in a beginning 9 on this league, and solely two value him double-digit . Not a one value him as a lot as $15.

Positive, there are potential pitfalls, particularly given the age of among the hitters. However the 2018 season will not go incorrect for all of them, and the place it does go incorrect, he has loads of different locations to show. Shoot, I acquired Ryan Zimmerman and Mike Moustakas on my bench for a buck every simply because it appeared loopy no one needed them after the numbers they only put up. Nevertheless it’s not like I’ve a spot to play them. Might Heath make me a gorgeous supply if it got here to that? Yeah, he in all probability might. And I am in all probability not the one one with that type of hitter extra, a few of which (by the way in which) is bound to wind up on the waiver wire.

Backside line is it will take considerably much less for his lineup to measure as much as mine than my pitching to measure as much as his — and I say that even understanding my pitching is clearly the second greatest. And whereas Heath might have taken it a bit too far with the $15 he spent on Jon Lester, I got here away pondering I personally ought to have gone farther.

There’s simply an excessive amount of interchangeability amongst all however the highest-end hitters to shrug off the large benefits that may be gained from high-end beginning pitchers.

So who all had a front-row seat to this insanity?
