This seems pretty unnecessary to me. Why Hollywood constantly feels the need to remake things that don’t require remaking is beyond me. The original series was a ’70s classic – ought to be good enough in this day and age. But it’s all about the $.
Others may not think so, but I’m betting Tiger comes out for The Masters in April.
…after all, he wouldn’t want to miss what defending champion Miguel Cabrera has planned for the traditional pre-tournament Champions Dinner:
On a conference call Tuesday, Cabrera was asked if he had given any thought to his menu at the Masters.
“There’s not a lot to think about,†he replied through a translator. “A good Argentine ‘asado.’ Some good beef.â€
Epps said asado is a popular Argentine barbecue, and the menu will feature a five-meat course, including filets, short ribs and sausages, including one known as “morcilla.â€
“There won’t be a lot of carbohydrates at this dinner,†said Epps, who grew up in Argentina.
There will be salad and bread to dip in a sauce that Cabrera will make himself, along with plenty of Argentine wine and music.
Wish I could be there for that!
I won’t hold my breath waiting for the mainstream dino-media to launch an investigation into how often this kind of thing occurs.
Tomorrow night, baseball’s back in New England. Sure it’s only a game involving a college team, but after the kind of winter those folks have had, I think they deserve it.
I say let them try. I mean, for gawdsakes, why it has taken the Dems this long to pass Obamacare bewilders me. They can complain all they want about the Republicans not wanting to play ball, but dudes, not sure you know this, but you have the White House, and you’re the majority party in both the House and Senate. So stop making excuses and just go for it already, will ya? The end of your elected terms in Washington await. (Hat tip: Drudge)
Hmmm…it’s alreday March 3, I’ve seen robin red breasts all over the place here in Tupelo, Mississippi, and not a peep from the powers-that-be about this year’s 20th Goodboys Invitational weekend. I guess it’s not that big a deal after all….but it is only a little over four months away. Time’s wasting, fellas…
Hey, Doug! Just read where Don Kent, long-time weather man for WBZ just passed away at 93. What an institution!
Joe Fitzgerald of the Herald has a great column about Don at this link:
http://bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view/20100303beloved_weatherman_truly_mastered_the_elements/
But the best line in it was one was always knew: “Doug Kent still laughs at the line that became part of our local vernacular.
“Someone would spot my father,†he recalled, “and shout, ‘Hey, Don, I just shoveled 6 inches of your partly cloudy!’ â€
Great stuff.

I’m predisposed to take a dim view of a remake of The Rockford Files. What’s the matter with these people that they can’t give a modern take on an older concept and come up with its own brand?

You’re right, Dave, why not leave “The Rockford Files” resting comfortably in its legacy and come up with something else. I could think of a few good story lines about Tampa and St. Petersburg where a lone-wolf private detective story would play, even in Peoria. Trailer Park Gumshoe. 🙂

Sorry for the delay in getting your comment posted, bro, you should be good to go, going forward.
Wow, Don Kent. Mr. New England Weatherman. A legend on WBZ TV and radio. I still remember him using the chalk board before all the new-fangled technology came out. R.I.P. Don, you inspired thousands of kids to love the weather and want to know more about it!
