Final Monday of the final full week of July? NFL teams reporting today, tomorrow, and Wednesday? Ridiculous training camp highlights of quarterbacks throwing 60-yard bombs in slow-mo to wide-open receivers in shorts about to flood our timelines?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hell yes. Sign me all the way up. I’m so tired of WNBA talk<\/a>. Of Epstein talk<\/a>. Of arresting Obama talk (although that one is funny). We need football back so badly right now. And it’s here. Sort of. Let’s ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n Welcome to a Monday Nightcaps <\/a>\u2013 the one where we report for duty with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders<\/a>, and go from there.\u00a0<\/p>\n What else? I’ve got the best of the rest from a loaded weekend of #content, Gia Duddy reacts to the Will Levis news<\/a> from a boat in the Bahamas, and Robin Williams should’ve turned 74 today.\u00a0<\/p>\n We never miss Robin’s birthday around here, and I certainly ain’t starting now. Sad.\u00a0<\/p>\n Grab you whatever your heart desires, pour it out for Robin, and then grab you the same exact thing, and THEN settle in for a second-to-final-Monday-of-July ‘Cap!<\/p>\n Nobody did it like Robin Williams\u00a0<\/p>\n Oddly enough, this is the second straight class Robin has attended! He made a cameo Friday with Craig Ferguson, <\/a>and now he’s back to help us celebrate his 74th birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n I feel like I do this every year (I do), but we’re going to do it again here. My Mount Rushmore of Robin Williams movies.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, this is obviously subjective as hell. I’m not sure it’s possible to create an objective, definitive Mount Rushmore when it comes to Robin Williams movies. It depends on when you grew up.\u00a0<\/p>\n I’m a mid-’90s\/early 2000s kid. That was my wheelhouse when it came to movies. I can still smell the inside of a Blockbuster Video today, and I haven’t been in one since the Bush Administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n Anyway, here you have it:<\/p>\n 1. Mrs. Doubtfire (this one probably deserves to be on everyone’s list)<\/p>\n 2. Jumanji (you don’t realize how bad the current ones are until you watch the original)<\/p>\n 3. Hook (this one is certainly a personal choice)<\/p>\n 4. Flubber! (Shut up, haters, it’s staying)<\/p>\n Honorable mention: Bicentennial Man, Jack, and RV (that one’s a joke).\u00a0<\/p>\n No, I don’t have any of the classics here. No Good Will Hunting. No Good Morning Vietnam. No Dead Poets Society.\u00a0<\/p>\n And I’ve seen \u2018em all. Love \u2019em all. But I wasn’t watching those movies during my peak run as a kid. It’s also hard to argue that GWH is a Robin Williams movie. Clearly, it’s not.\u00a0<\/p>\n I grew up with a taped copy of Hook on VHS from when it aired one night on ABC Family (now Freeform). Or, with the ultimate Robin Williams vs. Shooter McGavin showdown in Flubber. With a young Kirsten Dunst in Jumanji.\u00a0<\/p>\n I don’t make the rules. I just enforce them. That’s just how it works.\u00a0<\/p>\n Anyway, as is tradition, here’s the best five minutes of stand-up you’ll ever watch. Take notes, Colbert<\/a>:<\/p>\n What a weekend of #content!<\/p>\n Gets me every time. Like I said, they don’t make ’em like that anymore. Imagine where these insufferable late-night hosts would be if they even showed an ounce of talent \u2013 or pride (the non-June kind) \u2013 like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cheers to Robin on what would’ve been his 74th birthday. God, he would’ve loved this class.\u00a0<\/p>\n OK, let’s get to the best #content from a weekend full of WNBA whining<\/a>!<\/p>\n Cowgirls are here, Stephen A. vs. Trump & Gia’s heater continues<\/p>\n What a weekend! Last one until mid-February without \u2026 football practices \u2026 happening! Sure, it’s not much to get excited about, but Lord knows it’s better than the WNBA.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking of \u2026 a couple thoughts:<\/p>\n 1. I don’t know the economics of the WNBA. I don’t. I ain’t gonna sit here and pretend that I do. I can’t balance my own checkbook. I’m not gonna try and balance someone else’s.\u00a0<\/p>\n BUT, the optics of the whole thing are so funny to me. The WNBA existed for DECADES without anyone giving a shit. Now, barely 12 months into people kinda-sorta caring, they’re wearing shirts and demanding more money<\/a>? And also taking shots at Caitlin Clark<\/a> along the way? Come on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
