THE ISLANDERS vs. HART FOUNDATION (with Jimmy Hart)
-This drove me crazy when I was reviewing two years’ worth of Championship Wrestling…we are now in September 1986 and the chyron still says “Brett Hart.” The extra T is for Tears in His Eyes as He Told Me What a Great Worker I Am. On the other side of the ring, they’re still workshopping the Islanders, with Lord Alfred Hayes, the commentators, and the chyron all identifying them as “Hako and Toma.”
We are proud to present an excerpt from Michael Koresky’s moving new book,
Films of Endearment, now available. Get a copy today by clicking here; read our interview with Koresky here.
Synopsis:
A poignant memoir of family, grief and resilience about a young man, his dynamic mother and the 80s movies they shared together.
Michael Koresky s most formative memories were simple ones. A movie rental. A mug of tea. And a few shared hours with his mother. Years later and now a successful film critic, Koresky set out on a journey with his mother to discover more about their shared cinematic past. They rewatched ten films that she first introduced to him as a child, one from every year of the 80s, each featuring women leads.

Burns, who was beaten in the Snake Pit on Saturday when a bogey sent him down into a tie for the lead, redeemed himself with a shot for birdie on No. 16 that increased the distance between himself and Bradley to four strokes with two holes to play.

SPEEDWAY, Ind. The Indy 500 is just around the corner as Speedway gears up to welcome race fans back to Main Street.
“Main Street is probably the coolest place in Indianapolis, especially during the month of May,” said Robert Mills.
Last year, downtown Speedway took a hit after fans couldn’t attend and the race was pushed back to August.
“Downtown was pretty dead last year, so it is good to see people back out on the streets, walking around and enjoying the community again,” Mills said.

This season was supposed to be a rebuilding season for the
other team from Missouri. Despite sticking to that script, the Royals have found themselves the unlikely holder of the second-best record in baseball, sitting atop the AL Central.
There is little denying that the Phillies’ Jose Alvarado went out of his way to start a dust-up with the team from Queens. That said, Dominic Smith calling him out and challenging Alvarado to come fin d him in the tunnels is just not good form.
