My latest for @baseballprospectus.com is on those rumors that the Pirates and Marlins are planning on spending money this winter, and the most-likely reason why that would be true: because revenue-sharing dollars are at stake, but in a different way than the CBA demands.

Please help Sky out, even though he didn’t specify *which* river.
Anyone have restaurant suggestions in Pittsburgh? Ideally north of the river. Any meal, any "fanciness", but limit of $75 per person, say.

Flip 'Airplane!' and 'The Naked Gun' and you might have something here, but the fact that 'School of Rock' is included at all, let alone in the top 35, is a heinous decision. And I don't hate that movie!
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!
