The Same Page Team Says Goodbye

After five years, and over 700 posts, the Same Page Team calls it a day. Thanks for reading.

By: Daniel Reynolds You can tell when interest or inclination are on their down slope in the life cycle of a blog. Wait, excuse me, website. We won’t use the word blog here — somehow, it cheapens the work. In any case, one has only to check the archives by month to see the volume of posts. Go ahead and look here on this venerable website’s main page, you’ll see. The heady days of 15-20 posts in a…

MVP Watch: What Are We Arguing About?

MVP Watch: What Are We Arguing About?

By: Dan Grant The NBA never stops, does it? With the Warriors barely crowned champions, already the focus has shifted to trades, draft picks and soon, free agency. Phil Jackson has grabbed the public consciousness by the short hairs, though as of this writing, Kristaps Porzingis remains a New York Knick. It’s wild to live in a world so tumultuous that a former MVP candidate (Dwight Howard) and…

The Old Adventures of the New “Wonder Woman”: A Review

The Old Adventures of the New “Wonder Woman”: A Review

By: Daniel Reynolds For all the scorn heaped on DC Comics’ recent films, the pair of Batman v. Superman and Suicide Squad still made a ton of money. (Combined they pulled in just shy of $1.3 billion worldwide.) While there’s no doubt DC remains a step behind in quality and cinematic universe building to rival Marvel Comics, the returns on these two films still put the venerable company in the…

Broken Promises: An “Alien: Covenant” Review

Broken Promises: An “Alien: Covenant” Review.

By: Daniel Reynolds It was a bizarre decision to have Guy Pearce appear in Prometheus exclusively in old-aged makeup. Five years later however, this pays off in the followup, Alien: Covenant. Here, Pearce’s industrialist Peter Weyland is a younger man. He’s going grey, sure, but not shrivelled up on his way to death. In an airless prologue, we see him joust with his newest creation, the synthetic…

ESPN Layoffs a Harbinger of Major Changes

ESPN Layoffs a Harbinger of Major Changes

By: Daniel Matthew So the ESPN layoffs made their way around the Internet late last week.  A lot of names and faces recognized by sports fans were let go today;  about 100 in total. Before we all start tweeting about how it’s a travesty and give our best “in memorium”, recall that Great-West Life laid off 1,500 Canadian employees two days before, and nobody gave a shit.  Honestly I’m not trying…

By: Susan Howse Welcome to the Same Page Team’s hunt for the best supporting supporting actor!  THE RULES The candidates can’t have ever even been nominated for a major award.

You turn on a recommended movie, or the hit TV show du jours and you see an…

NBA MVP Watch: Kawhi vs. the King. Who really is the best?

By: Dan Grant Over the next several weeks, we’ll be laying out the various candidates for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2016-17 season. It’s one of the most interesting races in years, hearkening back to the 1990 race in which Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan went head-to-head all season long. This year, there are four viable candidates, with others lurking. We’ll…
