Retired after 43 years as AP sports writer. Great memories fading with old age. Studiously avoiding politics for my mental health.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

Sigh. The world needed more Todd Sniders, not fewer. Check out his catalogue. No musician this side of John Prine made me smile (or laugh out loud) more.

I finally got the Fubo free trial, not because of missing all that football, but so my wife could watch 9-1-1. And I got my $20 YouTube TV credit. So I’m on top of this.
