Bill Buckner on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' This Sunday

Cam Martin — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:51:10 +0000

Once upon a time, the mere mention of Bill Buckner‘s name would make Red Sox fans turn pale. But time heels all wounds (especially when your team wins two World Series), and Sox fans aren’t particularly bothered when Buckner’s name comes up nowadays. It’s even gotten to the point where Buckner can have a good laugh at the iconic moment when Mookie Wilson‘s ground ball rolled through his legs in the 1986 World Series. The former Red Sox first baseman is making a guest appearance on this Sunday’s episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (1o p.m. ET on HBO). The theme of this week’s episode is haunted pasts, and Buckner will reportedly help Larry David get past a scarring softball incident from his past.

Good for Buckner. Everyone knows that ground ball wasn’t his fault anyway; the guy could barely walk and he shouldn’t have been on the field in that situation! Former Red Sox manager John McNamara should have been the one vilified for not putting Dave Stapleton in as a defensive replacement!

(OK, some Red Sox fans aren’t completely over it.)

Durant Reportedly Close to Scoring Movie Deal

Cam Martin — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:16:31 +0000

Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant is reportedly close to signing a deal to star in a major Warner Bros. film. The project, which reportedly has a basketball subplot, is not named as yet and is scheduled to go into production in mid-September. Normally that would conflict with Durant’s preparation for the upcoming NBA season, but the ongoing lockout leaves open the possibility that his calendar is going to be relatively wide open. Filming for the movie will reportedly take place in either Oklahoma City and Baton Rouge, La.

MLB Network analyst John Smoltz is facing foreclosure on property he owns in Wyoming, according to the Jackson Hole Daily paper. The former Cy Young Award winner and longtime Braves pitcher reportedly owes Wells Fargo Bank about $1.6 million on a lot in the Snake River Sporting Club, a development that has changed hands several times since 2004 and been at the center of a major bankruptcy case. Smoltz’s lot is set to go up for auction on Aug. 23.
