Remembering Sam Neill and the two times he changed Hollywood
The legendary actor changed Hollywood first by NOT being in a movie, then again by being in a movie.
Face, Happy, Head

We lost a legend yesterday. On July 13th, I was standing on the plains of Africa on safari when I got a Google alert (yes, my service worked all the way out among the Big Five). One of my favorites from my childhood passed away. Dr. Alan Grant, the man who introduced me to dinosaurs when I was a child, had passed away suddenly. Today, it was reported that he died from pneumonia due to having a compromised immune system after years of fighting a type of blood cancer. I don't know why it hit me so hard. Maybe because it was a piece of my childhood stripped from me. Maybe we're all still trying to recapture the wonders of our world that he so expertly presented as thrilling entertainment. Whatever the reason, I have been thinking about it ever since. I even watched Jurassic Park on the flight back (thank you, Delta Airlines for having it available since every streaming service out there has pulled it now in favor of rent service). That is when I started thinking about his career. From Jurassic Park and Merlin to Peaky Blinders and Event Horizon, here are two times Sam Neill changed Hollywood. Once with his presence and once with his absence.

He was almost 007

What to expect at the Scottish Open — without looking too far ahead with The Open around the corner
The Scottish Open returns to The Renaissance Club, just outside of Edinburgh.
Field, Nature, Outdoors

The Genesis Scottish Open is here. It feels like a major tournament. Keyword, feels. The actual major tournament, The Open, golf's oldest tournament, is scheduled next week. But the field in Scotland is not treating the Scottish Open like a tune-up to The Open. If nothing else, the field at the Renaissance Club is excited about the mix of players scheduled to hit the links.

While, yes, PGA Tour players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are expected this weekend, fans should also expect to see, yes, LIV Tour players. That's because the Scottish Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA and European Tours. So, while the PGA Tour banned players who defected to play with LIV some four years ago, the European Tour has allowed them to play at its events.

Cape Verde’s miraculous run is what FIFA World Cup is all about
It's easy to see why almost everyone was rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup.
Cape Verde World Cup team

I'm here in Mexico City for the summer, and watching World Cup games with such a rabid fan base has been nothing short of spectacular. Every game is hyped. Every bar and restaurant has rows of TVs with the volume turned all the way up, and everyone's having a blast drinking chelas (beer for the non-Spanish-speaking folks) while watching the intensity of it all. For group play, I've been watching from the comfort of my sofa. But after watching Mexico dominate in group play, I was determined to watch as many knockout games as possible at a packed bar to breathe the atmosphere.

And I'm so glad that I did.
