The New Zealand All Blacks are one of sport’s greatest tales, period. There’s an enigma to this team that few others can lay claims to. In soccer, the great Brazil teams of the past had it. The US basketball team in the golden era of Michael Jordan and the ‘dream team’ had it. Finding other teams with this magical essence isn’t easy in modern sport, but the All Blacks are the standout exception.

“The Crow” Remake Off the Table Thank The Powers That Be

A few days ago, between a political rant and a guide to minimum deposit casinos, I’ve stumbled upon a piece of news about how both star Jason Momoa and Corin Hardy left the upcoming remake (or reboot?) of “The Crow”. This most likely means that the movie – if it is even produced – will miss its desired premiere date of October 11, 2019.
