I saw the film in the theater last night. If you’re looking for deep insight from Noel, Liam and the rest of the band on how they came together, you might leave disappointed. But it’s well worth seeing in the theater if you’re a fan for the concert footage, which sounds amazing.

One of the wildest NFL sagas you’ve never heard about. A brash real estate developer on the cusp of running the Seahawks. A brutal murder with a crossbow. And, decades later, a bizarre twist that remained secret until now. w/@nathanfenno & @zkeefer nytimes.com/athletic/7489309…

Remarkable: A man, over two decades, got all 792 cards in Topps’ 1987 set signed — including every player on every checklist. Favorite auto? Tim Pyznarski, a Future Star who played in only 15 games. He sold the set last night on eBay.

Update: The team is now playing “I Hope, I Think, I Know” from “Be Here Now.” Someone with the @FerryHawks is clearly an Oasis fan.
