Paul Rudd

SHRIEEEEK! OH. MY. GOD. You guys, it’s… One Direction! No, Paul Rudd! Wait, no, Kristen Wiig! Fred Armisen?! Will Ferrell! David Koechner! Steve Carell! … Bill Brasky?!?!?!
Deep breaths, dear SNL-watching, squee-happy readers, because even though last night’s show paraded out surprise guests like Captain von Trapp did his children in The Sound of Music Live & Condensed, the strong sketches that opened the evening quickly led to lackluster ones with diminishing returns that didn’t effectively showcase host Paul Rudd nor had any particularly inspired ideas (there are exceptions, of course — more on those below).
None of this is Paul Rudd’s fault. The host, taking the reins for third time, lathered on his signature charm and gamely tackled every character the writers tossed at him: an unpaid Huffington Post contributor, the rabid Directioner dad Dan Charles, one half of the divorcing couple who just can’t help dancing to Fleetwood Mac, the humiliated male model for Michelangelo’s David, the star of White Christmas, the newly skinny Santa Claus, the unwelcome ghost of hook-up past from a pizza joint, and finally, one of the Bill Brasky Buddies.
The front-loaded evening did well with its special guest stars (I’d argue it had the best cold open of this season so far) and produced some memorable characters, but any One Direction super fan watching for their favorite boy band probably ended the night sorely disappointed from the minimal use of the boys. Still, it was Paul Rudd’s evening, and therefore Anchorman 2‘s evening, and the show was wise to end with the film’s cast together for its…

World Cup draw

Mesothelioma Law Firm, World Cup Draw

Truly, it couldn’t were more difficult. That People in the usa amenable that competition versus Ghana, which eradicated that Oughout.

World Cup final draw stage
In the long and winding history of the world’s greatest sporting event, soccer’s quadrennial World Cup, no tournament has been so highly anticipated as the 20th edition next summer in Brazil.
And Friday’s all-important group stage draw – in which the host country and the 31 teams that managed to slog their way through the two-year qualifying process – will set up a six-month sprint of preparation and angst in equal measure.
The draw, which divides the 32 nations into eight groups of four, ought to be the kickoff to festivities. But instead, there is dread. Dread for teams worried about landing in the so-called 'group of death'; dread for managers worried about playing in the steamy Amazon; and dread for Brazil itself, which seems spectacularly ill-prepared to host this tournament.
Brazil should be a dream location for a World Cup. No other country has lifted five World Cups, as they have, delivered so much scintillating soccer on the world stage or produced so many transcendently skilled players – Pelé, Zico, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and, lately, Neymar. Instead, it seems more akin to a nightmare. This is a World Cup plagued by problems.
Brazil has failed to deliver the structures to host the games on time. At least two of the facilities will miss the world governing body’s Dec. 31 deadline for delivery, instead getting done sometime in February. At another, in São Paulo, where the opening game will be held, a building crane collapsed last week, killing two workers. A new date for delivery there has yet to be mooted.
The corruption and misappropriation that run rampant in Brazilian politics have further inflated the already ballooning costs of this World Cup. At a price tag of some $15 billion, a lot of Brazilians understandably wonder aloud if that money wouldn’t be better spent on the country’s much-deprived infrastructure and school system. This widespread discontent burst to the surface during a series of anarchic and often violent demonstrations during last summer’s Confederations Cup, a dress rehearsal of sorts for the big tournament. With none of the people’s gripes addressed, more seem in the offing during the World Cup.
Unrelated to the civil unrest, potential visitors have also been confronted with news of stadium violence and other disturbing tales. In one, an amateur game ended with a referee stabbing a player to death before being gruesomely lynched by a mob. Another tells of a former professional player whose severed head was delivered to his wife’s doorstep by a drug gang. And while neither incident is directly linked to the World Cup, they project an image of Brazilian lawlessness.
For the participating teams, the realization has also hit home that Brazil is a vast country with disparate climates, meaning they face thousands of miles of travel and drastic changes in temperatures – hardly ideal conditions for players running on fumes following a demanding club season.
The field of entrants counts unusually few weak opponents, making a favorable outcome of Friday’s draw so very important. Seeded in Pot 3, along with the other Asian and Central and North American teams – arguably the weakest regions – the United States is entirely at the mercy of that draw. For instance, it could draw a group of Spain, Ghana and the Netherlands, spelling outright doom, or it might luck out and get Switzerland, Algeria and Croatia, leaving intact the stated ambition of reaching the knockout stages.
Less dependent on the outcome of the draw are the four favorites: Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Spain. None of those teams can draw one another, since they are all among the top seeds in Pot 1. But if the little ping pong balls that will be pulled blindly from the bowls in Friday’s schlocky ceremony pair them with, say, a strong African or South American team from Pot 2; Mexico or the U.S. from Pot 3; and one of the more fearsome European teams in Pot 4, theirs too will be a daunting task.
No team, then, is an obvious favorite at this stage. Brazil’s is a young team that will shoulder tremendous pressure – just as it did in 1950, when Brazil lost the final to Uruguay in the only other World Cup held on its home soil. Argentina has the world’s best corps of forwards but has underperformed at the World Cup every time since 1990. Spain and Germany are experienced and well-rounded sides that can dazzle when the mood so strikes them. But then no European team has ever won a World Cup staged in South America.
But these excuses will all be for naught come June. There is no higher truth than your performance at the World Cup and no justifying your failures there. Because, in soccer, the World Cup is the end game.

Jacoby Ellsbury

4 reasons the Yankees will regret the Jacoby Ellsbury deal

Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports

USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale is reporting Jacoby Ellsbury has signed a seven-year contract with the New York Yankees that is in excess of $150 million, ending his seven-year stint with the Boston Red Sox.
Reactions to the deal were mixed. Some Red Sox and Yankees fans felt the signing was the second coming of the Johnny Damon deal, with the Yankees grabbing away another likable Red Sox center fielder and, in doing so, hurting their biggest rival.
This is silly. The Red Sox were never going to pay what Ellsbury (and his agent Scott Boras) wanted. Ellsbury is 30 years old and has been injury-prone is his career so far. The Yankees just gave him a seven-year deal. Let’s count all the ways this is problematic.

1. The Yankees will be paying Jacoby Ellsbury $20 million a year until he’s 37

So the Yankees just went through a nasty ordeal in which they needed a league suspension to (hopefully) get out of paying a declining superstar (Alex Rodriguez) a massive amount of money every year. So, let’s say they are granted this incredibly lucky reprieve — before it’s even finalized they turn around and offer a another massive contract to a guy entering his 30s? Um, what?

2. Ellsbury is known for his speed, something that typically declines in human beings when they are in their late 30s

Yankees fans lamented Alex Rodriguez’s decline, and the massive amount of money he was owed, when his bat speed slowed down a bit. Know what deteriorates faster than bat speed in guys as they age? Speed speed. Ellsbury is a phenomenal hitter, but he relies as much on his legs as anything, both on offense and defense. We’ll see how fast he is when he’s 35, and how happy Yankees are that he still has two years left on his deal.

3. The Yankees already have Brett Gardner

Wait, the Yankees already have a speedy, 30-year-old center fielder who’s stolen 50 bases in a season before? Yes, yes they do. Now, Ellsbury is a better player than Gardner. No one is arguing that. But is he that much of an improvement to justify spending $150 million over seven years? To the people who respond: “But Gardner is injury prone!” um, have you met Jacoby Ellsbury?

4. The Yankees have not learned from the mistakes of others

Two years ago, the Angels spent huge bucks to sign Albert Pujols. Last year, they spent huge money signing Josh Hamilton. Both were in their early thirties, and had produced big numbers up until that point. Both immediately fell off from their peak production, and now the Angels are saddled with two massive contracts, when all they want to do is build around their young phenom Mike Trout.
Everyone thought those two deals made the lessons clear: Don’t pay guys for past performance. Don’t overpay for guys entering the tail end of their careers. Don’t get stuck with long-term deals with aging superstars that you’ll regret later.
The Yankees apparently learned nothing from these deals. They threw big money at Ellsbury, and they’ll probably throw big money to keep Robinson Cano, who is 31. If they can win a title in the next couple years with Ellsbury and Cano at the heart of their lineup, then they made a good call. If they miss that window, though, it might be a rough few years in the Bronx.

Tom Daley

Why I envy Tom Daley’s coming out

Tom Daley’s announcement that he is in a gay relationship was perfectly executed. It's not always so straightforward, says Theo Merz


Tom Daley reveals he is dating a man as Team Great Britain diver uses YouTube video to tell the world
Tom Daley will always know the moment he told the world he was in a relationship with a man: shortly after 11am on Monday, when he tweeted out a link to a YouTube video with ‘something he had to say’. The announcement was sensitively, eloquently done, and the diver has been widely praised as a role model for gay and bisexual people thinking about coming out.
It is a big step for anyone to open up about their first love – gay or otherwise – in such a public forum. As has been written elsewhere, Daley's announcement has a great significance in that it comes from a sportsman close to the pinnacle of his career.
But young people on the verge of telling friends and family that they are into members of the same sex should know that their own announcement will never be as straightforward as Daley’s.
The difference is that Daley will only have to do it once. Anyone who has the slightest interest in the diver’s sexuality (and many who don’t) now knows that he has a boyfriend but remains into girls.
Those of us without an Olympic medal and a couple of million Twitter followers have to declare our sexuality over and over again. Not – as some of the less enlightened below-the-line commentators on this site and elsewhere might argue – because we harbour an undue need to shove our private lives in people’s faces, but simply because it comes up.
After my first day in this job a little over a year ago, I went to dinner with five other new employees. The question was raised about who was in a relationship. A couple of the guys had girlfriends, one of the girls had a boyfriend, and two were single. I was the last to answer. I knew this was unlikely to be a hostile crowd; I had ‘come out’ to my family and friends back home several years ago and been open all the way through university. Yet, as I answered the question, I still felt an echo of the anxiety I felt when I told the first person I was seeing a guy.
Unless you have Daley’s level of fame and everyone knows already, the question of whether to bring up your sexuality is constantly raised. What about when a colleague refers to your male partner as a ‘she’? (Personally, I would correct them, but there are others who choose to reply in vaguer terms, talking about a non-gender-specific ‘they’ – which is as transparent as it is embarrassing to both parties.)
What about when an acquaintance tells you about their successes with online dating and suggests you set up a profile to find a girlfriend? What about when a colleague makes a close to the knuckle joke about homosexuality – do they think it’s acceptable because they know you’re gay, or should you say something?
Compared to dilemmas faced by gay people in Uganda, Russia and dozens of other countries, I admit that these questions of etiquette are very much First World problems. But they are faced by all gay people all the time, and in a way in which many heterosexuals do not think about.
When we talk about coming out as a single event, we are being dishonest about what this process – and it is a process – involves.
You may be ready to tell your friends at one stage, siblings another, parents another. Even if you’re confident enough when you have your first relationship to make the announcement to these groups all at once, you’ll meet new friends if you go to university, and new colleagues as you move jobs.
Daley’s video is wonderful to watch and will help young people and other athletes to make similar announcements. But it was a perfectly executed dive, with only the slightest hesitation as he said “and that person is … a guy” before plunging into the news bulletins and international press as a bisexual man. For those thinking of following his example in speaking openly about a relationship, please do; but don’t worry if your announcement involves a little more splashing around at the edge of the pool.

Analyst downgrades Urban Outfitters, citing 'merchandising miscues'

Urban Outfitters’ brand is coming under scrutiny from an analyst that follows the retailer.
Urban Outfitters' Center City store, which is at 1627 Walnut St., promoted its Black Friday sales last week.
In a report released Monday, Ike Boruchow of Sterne Agee said Urban Outfitters is having “brand problems,” illustrated in part by its aggressive discounting in advance of Black Friday, even extending promotional periods.
Urban Outfitters Inc. (NASDAQ: URBN), which is based in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, owns 225 Urban Outfitters stores, 185 Anthropologie locations and 86 Free People sites.
“While the Anthropologie and Free People concepts continue to outperform, we are losing confidence in the Urban brand’s ability to quickly adjust its merchandising miscues, which creates potential risk to 2014 numbers,” Boruchow said in his report.
On Monday, Boruchow downgraded Urban to a “neutral” rating (from “buy”), saying shares could top out at $42.
In mid-day trading, shares were down 3 percent, to $37.85.
