Isolation Thought

Jim Rome congratulated Eddie Money on his starring role in the ESPN movie, "Hustle". That made me laugh. Did anyone watch this atrocity? If I said I wouldn't, I changed my mind and, trust me, it was not very good. The screenplay, which was based on The Dowd Report, read much like you thought a court transcript would. The actresses couldn't really act, but at least they looked good. I don't know if Pete Rose is like that in real life, but he tended to high-five a lot, which immediately made me think of Puddy. "Don't leave me hangin'."
