Tomorrow marks the opening day of the NFL 2010-2011. And what better then to have an awesome rematch of last years most exhilarating NFC championship game. I am not going to be bold here. The Saints will take this one. Drew Brees is still the man while Brett Favre is another year older. Favre still [...]

Motley Movies: Farewell (L’affaire)
September 6, 2010 – 11:12 am
Okay Motley readers, it’s time to take a trip to the cinema. “Farewell (L’affaire),” a French film playing in only selective independent theatres, is a movie that isn’t exactly non-commercial, but a feature certainly void of any audience back-scratching. No sir, this is not a first-date sort of movie. Director Christian Carion’s espionage thriller focuses [...]
Motley Athletics: Andy Roddick
September 3, 2010 – 2:46 pm
I took great enjoyment in watching today, a certain event that provided me a moment of most excellent mirth; Andy Roddick was defeated by the unranked Janko Tipsarevic in the US Open’s second round. Andy Roddick, the only player with no class on the ATP tour, has a history of barking at the umpires and [...]
Motley Athletics : The US Open — ATP
August 25, 2010 – 8:32 pm
Lets stop overdosing on pre-season football and baseball wildcard races, and talk some tennis. Roger Federer is number two in the world. Not many people know that. A couple weeks ago he was number three. My friends, it saddens me to say that Roger Federer’s era of utter domination, opponent humiliating, overdramatic victory back flops [...]
Motley Athletics : Brett Favre
August 18, 2010 – 8:14 pm
He’s back, ladies and gentlemen. What seems like now the tenth year in a row, Brett Favre has once again opted out of retirement. And hey, I’ll be the first one to admit it, despite all the criticism, I’m happy he’s coming back. As a football fan, I have never followed an NFL year without [...]
Motley Movie Archives: “The Friends of Eddie Coyle”
August 15, 2010 – 5:33 pm
Directed by Peter Yates, “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” is another movie to add to the list of gems found in 1970’s American cinema. While infrequently uttered in conjunction with “The Godfather,” “Taxi Driver,” or a movie like Hal Ashby’s “The Last Detail,” Peter Yates’ film incorporates some prevalent themes of 70′s cinema; in particular [...]

Motley Movies : The Other Guys
August 10, 2010 – 5:38 pm
“The Other Guys,” directed by Adam McKay (“Anchorman”, “Talladega Nights”), is a buddy-cop movie with hilarious performances from Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg who provide sheer absurdity that will leave some wincing and others laughing. Most, including myself, were laughing and consistently at that, as the characters are relentless in their farcical behavior. The story [...]
Motley Athletics: The AL East
August 5, 2010 – 1:00 pm
The best rivalry in sports. This weekend the Boston Red Sox head to New York to meet the Yankees in a four game series. The Sox have been playing better as of late, getting some of their injured starters back, and the Yankees seem to have hit a speed bump, letting the Rays come within [...]
Motley Movie Archives: Laura
August 1, 2010 – 5:42 pm
A movie like Otto Preminger’s “Laura” comes around about once a century. This 1940′s gem is infused with drama and comedy, romance and noir. An exhibition in subtle direction and masterful interior cinematography. Leading stars who are not there for notoriety, but to capture the intricacies and the minutia of their character’s tendencies. My friends, [...]
