At least he has a good post-football career lined up as one of Brad Wesley's henchmen.

Finals week my senior year, I researched and wrote two 12 page papers that were each the total grade in a class in 24 hours. My roommates were already done with exams, partying and throwing their empty beer cans at my bedroom door while I worked. I got an A on both.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Interesting. Gleyber basically had the kind of season the Royals thought they'd get from India. I know a lot of Royals want/expect them to nontender India, but right now my guess is they do tender him.

It was a flimsy premise, but thankfully they were more interested in the backstories of what they'd been doing in the intervening years and their banter.

Prosky was an all-time great theater actor who was doing character roles in movies at that time, a good hire on paper. I'd have bet on the writers to do something interesting there. But Woody the actor & character was such a home run.

Harrelson won an Emmy with 5 noms within those limitations (and great writing). He was too adventurous and too good an actor to stay in that box for another 2 years, much less 11. He also had offscreen interests in being an activist & an oddball. But Grammer certainly had his own offscreen issues.

Haunted Laundry @thelaundry.bsky.social · 7d

I found some scuttlebutt that NBC/Paramount may have pitched Harrelson on staying as the post-Danson lead of Cheers and were obviously rebuffed. I also forgot about the original pitch for a Grammer post-Cheers sitcom.

Grammer did not originally want to continue playing Frasier Crane, and Angell, Casey and Lee did not want the new show to be compared to Cheers, which they had worked on before Wings. The three proposed that the actor play a wealthy, Malcolm Forbes-like paraplegic publisher who operated his business from his apartment. The main show featured a "street-smart" Hispanic live-in nurse who would clash with the main character.[25] While Grammer liked the concept, Paramount Television disliked it, and suggested that the best route would be to spin off the Frasier Crane character.[25] Grammer ultimately agreed to star in a Cheers spin-off, but the producers set the new show as far from Boston as possible to prevent NBC from demanding that other characters from the old show make guest appearances on the new show during its first season.

Woody & Joey are similar characters. "Woody" w/Frasier's writers is probably much better than "Joey", but Woody was also a legit movie star in '93 & didn't need TV. LeBlanc in '04...was not.

Joey had Will & Grace behind it that fall, but The Apprentice after that. Not ideal for C- spinoff idea.

I remember liking Always Save frosted flakes. In the 80s, it came in a yellow box, black print, no pictures. And IIRC they weren't really like the Kellogg's name brand. They were huge, thick flakes that would get flabby in milk, but that just made it like eating a bowl of little pancakes.

He was my favorite for quite a while. I could shrug off general shithead/thin-skinned artist behavior, but seeing reports of abuse/grooming had me go cold turkey.
