Kate McKinnon on channeling her inner goat for 'Ferdinand'

Yahoo TV 

Saturday Night Live is famously one of the most demanding jobs in show business — particularly if you’re Kate McKinnon, the two-time Emmy winner of the current cast who appears in nearly every sketch. “I just immediately connected with the idea of a goat with big dreams,” McKinnon said during a phone call with Yahoo Entertainment. The goat in question is Lupe, whom McKinnon voices in the animated comedy Ferdinand  (based on the classic children’s book The Story of Ferdinand, about a Spanish bull... Читать дальше...

Tyler Chatwood signs with Cubs for 3 years, $38 million

SB Nation: Toronto Raptors 

The Cubs found one needed addition to their rotation.

The Cubs have announced that they’ve signed Tyler Chatwood to a three-year deal, worth $38 million, according to The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma.

The deal will keep Chatwood at Wrigley Field until the next decade, which is a good move for Chicago since they’re certainly losing Jake Arrieta to free agency and needed to replace him with someone of the same caliber.

The money might be a little pricey for what they’ll get from Chatwood... Читать дальше...

Stanford women’s volleyball: New coach had a tough act to follow

SFgate.com (sports) 

When he was handed the keys to the Stanford women’s volleyball program, Kevin Hambly knew that getting to the Final Four was practically written into the job description.

That’s what happens when you succeed a coach like John Dunning, who guided the team to three national titles and eight Final Fours in 16 years. He had two national titles in his previous 16 years at Pacific. Читать дальше...

He isn't happy with his wood provided by the camp so much to the confusion of the kids he throws it all into the lake and then puts it back onto the fire to prove to the camp management they need to give him money to go to Tesco and buy some more wood that he chooses. Читать дальше...
