Nice. #Federer slowly rounding into #GOAT form makes it into #Halle final four (& #Wimbledon #Big4 reunion :-). Up next: #Khachanov (6'6"!).

India Flame Out Against Pakistan in Champions Trophy Finals

Its not #Sharjah86 but for heavily-favoured #IND to lose against their biggest rival in a final 😔 Good tournament overall tho #INDvPAK #CT17

Melancholy looks at 2 would-be #GOAT's #LeBron by @vcunningham & #Federer by @brianphillips http://ow.ly/4Fza30cz1h6  http://ow.ly/DDJp30cz1Sz

Russell Westbrook is Coming For You, NBA...

The 2017-18 #NBA season is gonna be a corker. How do I know? Because, somewhere in the #OKC summer, #Russ #Westbrook's watching...& waiting.

Cavaliers Need to Figure Their Coaching Out

Hope springs eternal that #TyLue'll move beyond #LeBron standing in the corner while (over)dribblin' #Kyrie (& #JR/#Tristan) bail 'em out.

Warriors (True) Unsung Heroes

I know that #StephCurry & #Durant are the headliners, but #Warriors are nothing without #SteveKerr, #Iguodala & esp #KlayThompson #NBAFinals

Kevin Durant MVP / Steph Curry Obnoxious

Incredible how #KevinDurant got his swagger back (w/ 5-All Star +73-win team). #Steph has gone from skirting to crossing over obnoxious line

Kevin Durant Outduels LeBron James to Win Title

It breaks my bl**dy heart to say this #LeBron, but it's #KD's world now...You & me, we just live in it. #Cavaliers #Warriors #NBAFinals

PS. Congrats to #Bopanna, #MattekSands, & #RyanHarrison(!) on their doubles titles. #Stanimal not-so animalistic today, huh? #FrenchOpen

Nadal Wins His 10th(!!) French Open

So, Easiest Slam, Ever!? #Rafa #Nadal's dominance on clay has to be one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports. #FrenchOpen

India Beats South Africa Easily

Wait, #IND won thanks to their fielding (6 run-outs?!) & bowling (191?!). Now I've seen everything! #Shikhar's comeback has been 👌. #INDvSA

RIP Adam West

RIP #AdamWest. Our first & favourite #Batman. Wish he had more chances to showcase his underrated acting ability as evidenced by #TheNewAge.

The Hero

#TheHero: Ah, Elliott, getting the late-career award-bait showcase he so *richly* deserves! Offerman, DP Givens & Dewitt music - well done.

Ostapenko is the Feel-Good Tennis Story of the Year

Respect to #Federer (#GOAT?) but a 20-year-old winning her first title at a major is the feel-good tennis story of the year. #Ostapenko!

Ostapenko Shocking French Open Win

Un-bl**dy-believable! *20* year-old #Ostapenko *blasts* her way to her first tournament win - a Slam! #Halep was shellshocked. #FrenchOpen

LeBron (Finally) Exacts Payback From the Warriors

#LeBron in raging-against-the-dying-light form is great. Good to see #Kyrie/#KLove not get blamed for once. #Cavs live to fight 1 more day 👏

Great Indie Movies Opening This Weekend

Yo NY/LA great indie movies to check out in case #TheMummy is sold out: #BeatrizAtDinner, #MyCousinRachel, #ItComesAtNight & #TheHero! Enjoy

RIP Glenne Headly

RIP #GlenneHeadly. Discovered her thanks to that amazing 1-2 punch of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels & Dick Tracy. One of my favourite actors.

Beatriz at Dinner

#BeatrizAtDinner: White & Arteta reunited, and it feels so good. One of the best movies of 2017! Cast, esp Hayek & Lithgow, is sensational.

French Open 2017 Women's Finals Set

Great win for 20yo(!) #Ostapenko (young ∴ fearless) #Pliskova succumbs to #Halep's counterpunching (grunts harder than she hits) #FrenchOpen

India (Somehow) Loses to Sri Lanka

I guess you should never underestimate #SL. Chased down imposing #IND target with resilience. Free-flowing #Shikhar is awesome #INDvSL #CT17

Unsung Heroes Tilted Game 3

Was that the tipping point in #LeBron-vs-#KD debate? #Steph got rebounds(?!). #Kyrie was spectacular/bad. #KLove tried. #Klay won the game.

Cavaliers Lose a Heartbreaking Game 3

Thats my heart breaking into a million little pieces! #LeBron, I love ya man, but you cant just stand there & watch #Kyrie play 1-on-5 #Cavs

Kershaw Tough Win Against Strasburg

Look, I'm not saying #Dodgers are a one-man team, but of course it's #Clayton #Kershaw who helps break a losing streak. #Strasburg ≠ Orchid?

Djokovic Baffling Fall From Grace / Great Upcoming Semis

Can't wait for #AndyMurray-#Wawrinka/#Pliskova-#Halep! PS Poor #Djoker, baffling fall from one of the most dominant phases in sports history

Rafael Nadal Has Pretty Much Already Won the French Open

Can we just end the farce that is #RolandGarros & hand the trophy to #Rafa #Nadal already?! He's essentially walking-over to the title! #ATP

Great stuff from @SteveTignor: #SteffiGraf's vicious rivalry with #Navratilova. One of the most underrated in sports http://ow.ly/zqio30cnjBk

Celeb Sighting: Josh Brener (Big Head!)

(3rd)-Greatest Celebrity Sighting, Ever!: #JoshBrener...running down Sunset (chasing an IPO?). I resisted the urge to yell #BigHead at him.

RIP Peter Sallis

RIP #PeterSallis. Provided so many years of lovely entertainment with Last of the Summer Wine & of course #WallaceAndGromit. He'll be missed

LeBron Made Things Interesting...Then Warriors Warrior-ed in Game 2

For a sec #LeBron had a shot...then #Steph/#Warriors cut out #Cavaliers beating heart. #KD sure found his swagger w/ 73-win+5 All-Star team

Tough outs for #Venus & #Isner (vs future #Khachanov). Nervy win for #Djokovic (#DjAgassi?) #FrenchOpen is #Nadal's world we just live in it

Great thumping win for #IND over biggest rival. Fantastic bounce-backs from #Shikhar & esp #Yuvraj (still going strong!). #INDvPAK #CT17

Cavaliers Get Hammered by Warriors in Game 1

Um, it'd be easy to give up hope after a 22-pt rout, but #LeBron brought #Cavaliers all the way back last year, so...PS. #Durant, yikes!👀

Cavaliers Are Hanging On...in the First Half of Game 1

Little too much hotdogging by #LeBron, few too many crisp passes by #Warrriors. But being down "only" 8 means #Cavaliers are hangin' tuff! 😳

Archduke

#Archduke (@CTGLA): Somehow Joseph turns WWI inciting incident into black comedy-farce. Funny & disturbing. Jaw-dropping sets by Mackabee!

Frank Deford Legacy Should be Recognised by ESPN

PS. Too bad #FrankDeford wasn't part of the @espn-industrial complex. He'd be feted all day today & the kids would be exposed to his writing

RIP Frank Deford

RIP #FrankDeford. Discovered him thru his tennis writing before I realized what a giant he was in the sports-media complex. Brilliant man.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

#PiratesOfTheCaribbean5: Thank G*d for Geoffrey Rush, once again the secret weapon in this franchise. New kids add some fresh-faced energy.

Congrats to #Petra #Kvitova for coming back from that awful knife attack. Winning #RolandGarros R1 match was a nice bonus. 👏PS. Poor #Kerber

PS. #Durant used to be a media darling. Now he's a f-bomb-dropping, devil-may-care bad boy (after joining a 73-win team with 5 all-stars)!🤔

LeBron Crushes Celtics to Set Up Destined Battle with Warriors

This is what the #LeBron naysayers hath wrought: 35/8/8 & 33-pt beatdown of (diminished) #Celtics. Worry about #Warriors later. #Cavaliers

You Know You're Too Old When: #StarWars Turns 40(!) Years Old. Look, I'm not saying #GeorgeLucas invented cinema, but, y'know...#ANewHope

Foregone conclusion turns into a nervewracking slugfest?! Because #Celtics refuse to go away! Thank G*d for #Kyrie (& #KLove), huh #LeBron?

RIP Roger Moore

RIP #RogerMoore. To me he was the best #Bond/Saint/Wild Goose…the best. Lived his life like a proper international movie star Loved the guy!

Dangal Huge China Box Office

Woah! #Dangal becomes highest-grossing foreign film in China! Now that's a game-changer. Too bad not every Indian movie can star #AamirKhan.

Cavaliers Shocked by Celtics

A funny thing happened on the way to a preordained sweep: #Cavs lost?! Plucky #Celtics (is there any other kind) give #LeBron a wake-up call

Real Madrid Win La Liga On Final Day

Congrats to #RealMadrid on winning #LaLiga in dramatic fashion. That, my friends, is the power of #Zinedine #Zidane! PS #Ronaldo helps too 😂

Welcome to the big time kid! *Young* #Zverev beats #Djokovic to win 1st Masters #Nadal's destined #RolandGarros win could become interesting

Liverpool Makes It Into Champions League

#Klopp's amazing run at #Liverpool continues! Getting to #CL is great, even against poor #MID. Now they need to hold on to #Coutinho! #LFC

Alien: Covenant

#AlienCovenant: Ridley Scott makes movies that'd make directors half his age buckle under. Fassbender's great despite his "American" accent!

Cavaliers Crush the Celtics in Game 2

When I checked the score I thought it's a misprint! Before #LeBron (/#Cavs) get too full of themselves, #Warriors are crushing too! #Celtics

Kolkata Knight Riders Thrashed in IPL 2017 Semifinals

Bad luck for #KKR, esp after such a promising regular season. When was the last time someone defended 107 in a #T20 match?! Oh well...#IPL

The Commune

#TheCommune: Forget about slice of life it's like a whole lifetime compressed into one film. Warm-hearted Euro cousin to 20th Century Women.

RIP Reema Lagoo

RIP #ReemaLagoo. The warm, comforting cinematic presence through all of our childhoods. Can't believe that #QSQT was almost 30 years ago.

RIP Chris Cornell

RIP #ChrisCornell. Integral part of my early education in America with #Soundgarden. Really liked his stint with #Audioslave. What a voice.

Kevin Love Helps Cavaliers Win Game 1 Against Celtics

Just finished @WindhorstESPN's great #ReturnOfTheKing which made #KLove's value clear. Guess #Celtics found that out tonight. #LeBron #Cavs

Logan Noir

#LoganNoir: Even better second time out...in black and white! This is gonna be up there with all the other modern mainstream classics!

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

#GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2: Sometimes, *too* much of a good thing...who am I kidding?...it's awesome! Drax & Yondu you scene-stealin' rascals!

Celtics Beat the Wizards in Game 7

#Olynyk: Next #Celtics Cult Hero. Hardworking blue collar underdog who never quits &...what's the *other* thing that endears him to Boston?😌

West Indies Lose in Dramatic Fashion

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

#KingArthur: Every once in a while a little bit of the ol' Lock Stock pokes thru. Hunnam & Law are fun. Kinda liked the music by Pemberton.

Bellinger Amazing Rookie Start / Andrew Toles Out

Genie Bouchard Beats Sharapova

Not saying it's a career-altering win for #Genie #Bouchard over #Sharapova, but it's a huge walk-the-walk win. Hope she can keep it going.

Cavaliers Complete Preordained Sweep of Raptors

Thank G*d for #Kyrie, huh? Tougher-than-it-needed-to-be sweep-game for #LeBron (#Cavs). PS #Warriors in superhero form & #Spurs not dead yet
