Anita Baker

Anita Denise Baker (born January 26, 1958) is a retired American singer-songwriter. Starting her career in the late 1970s with the funk band Chapter 8, Baker eventually released her first solo album, The Songstress, in 1983. In 1986, she rose to stardom following the release of her platinum-selling second album, Rapture, which included the Grammy-winning single "Sweet Love". To date, Baker has won eight Grammy Awards and has five platinum albums and one gold album to her credit. Baker's vocal range is contralto.

Early life

Anita Baker was born on January 26, 1958 in Toledo, Ohio. When she was two, her mother abandoned her and Baker was raised by a foster family in Detroit, Michigan. When Baker was 12, her foster parents died and her foster sister raised her afterwards. By the time Baker was 16, she began singing R&B at Detroit nightclubs. After one performance, she was discovered by bandleader David Washington, who gave her a card to audition for the funk band, Chapter 8.

Music career

Baker joined the group in 1975 and the group toured until securing a deal with Ariola Records in 1979. The group's first album, Chapter 8, was released that year and featured the singles "Ready for Your Love," a duet between Baker and bandmate Gerald Lyles, and the Baker-led "I Just Want to Be Your Girl." After Ariola was bought out by Arista Records in 1979, Chapter 8 was dropped by the label who were convinced that Baker, as the group's lead singer, didn't have "star potential."

Early success: 1983–84

Baker returned to Detroit and became a waitress and a receptionist for a law firm. Otis Smith, a former associate of Ariola, called Baker up in 1982 and convinced her to start a solo career under his Beverly Glen label. Baker eventually signed with the company, releasing her debut solo album, The Songstress, in 1983. The album produced four singles: "No More Tears" and its B-side, "Will You Be Mine", "Angel" and "You're the Best Thing Yet". "Angel" became Baker's first top ten single, reaching number five on the R&B charts in late 1983. "You're the Best Thing Yet" followed it in the R&B top 40 early the following year. Despite this early success, Baker later complained that she hadn't received any royalties from the work. In addition, the label delayed work on Baker's follow-up of The Songstress. By 1984, after two years, Baker sought to leave the label but was sued by Smith for breach of contract in 1985. After months in court debating the matter, it was concluded that Baker should be allowed to record for other labels, winning the case against Smith.

Baker eventually signed with the Warner Music Group-associated Elektra Records label in 1985 and began working on her next album. Her Elektra contract allowed the singer to have creative control and produce her own music, something she wasn't allowed to do at Beverly Glen. Baker eventually picked her old Chapter 8 band mate, songwriter and producer Michael J. Powell to work with her on her first Elektra album, though label execs were initially unhappy with her choice of Powell over more established producers.

Mainstream success: 1986–1995

In March 1986, Baker released her second album, Rapture. While sales were initially slow following the release of the album's debut single, "Watch Your Step", Elektra released the mid-tempo ballad, "Sweet Love", which became her first pop hit, reaching number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and also reaching the UK Top 20. The album eventually launched three further hit singles, including "Caught Up in the Rapture", "No One in the World" and "Same Ole Love (365 Days a Year)". Throughout 1986 and 1987, Baker promoted the album by touring, headlining her first tour, The Rapture Tour, a show from which was later released on home video as A Night of Rapture. By 1988, the album had sold over 8 million copies worldwide, 5 million of which were sold in the United States alone. The album resulted in Baker's winning two Grammy Awards at the 1987 ceremony. In 1987, Baker collaborated with The Winans on their song, "Ain't No Need to Worry", which gave Baker a third Grammy, this time in the Best Soul Gospel Performance by a Duo or Group, Choir or Chorus category.

Baker's follow-up, Giving You the Best That I Got, was released in October 1988 and immediately became a success, topping the Billboard 200 and selling 5 million copies worldwide, 3 million of which sold alone in the United States. The title track reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the R&B and adult contemporary charts, becoming her most successful charted single. The follow-up, "Just Because", reached the top 20 on the pop chart, while a third single, "Lead Me Into Love", became a top ten R&B hit. The album resulted in three more Grammy Awards for the singer. In 1990, Baker released Compositions, which had Baker more involved in the songwriting and production process and the first in which she began incorporating more jazz elements than in previous albums. The album launched the singles "Talk to Me", "Soul Inspiration" and "Fairy Tales", and eventually sold over a million copies. After the end of the album's touring and promotion schedule in 1991, Baker took a break from the business when she settled down with her husband at the time, later having two children together. Also in 1991, Elektra re-issued Baker's first album, The Songstress, after buying rights to the album. It has sold more than 300,000 copies since its release.

After appearing on Frank Sinatra's Duets album, Baker officially returned to the charts with Rhythm of Love in 1994. The album featured the hit "Body and Soul", which became her first top 40 pop hit since 1989; the second single, the mid-tempo "I Apologize", later won Baker an eighth Grammy. The album eventually sold over 2 million copies, resulting in her fourth consecutive platinum-selling album. Baker undertook the Rhythm of Love World Tour from December 14, 1994 to November 14, 1995. Baker was transferred to another label within the Warner Music Group, Atlantic Records, in 1996.

Hiatus years and return: 1996–present

Taking a hiatus after the end of the Rhythm of Love Tour to care for her two sons, Baker did not return to the studio until August 2000. However, the recordings she made during this period were ruined by random popping noises from the rented 24-track tape machine. In May 2001, Baker filed a lawsuit in federal court against Zomba Recording Corp. and its Dreamhire division. Due to a label restructuring, Baker was let go from Atlantic that November without releasing any material with the company. During this hiatus, Rhino Records released the compilation, The Best of Anita Baker (named Sweet Love: The Very Best of Anita Baker in the UK) in June 2002. The album eventually was certified platinum by the RIAA, denoting sales in excess of 1,000,000 units in the US.

That year, Baker returned to live performing which inspired her to seek a new recording deal, eventually signing with Blue Note Records in March 2004. That September, Baker released the album, My Everything. Despite her decade-long absence from the charts, the album peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and number-one on the R&B charts, eventually being certified gold. In 2005, Baker released the Christmas album, Christmas Fantasy, winning a Grammy nomination for the song, "Christmas Time Is Here". Starting in 2007, Baker embarked on a two-year concert tour titled An Evening with Anita Baker. In June 2010, she sang the national anthem at Game 4 of that year's NBA Finals at the TD Garden, though her performance was roundly criticized by viewers, who discussed the matter on Twitter. Baker has also sung the national anthem at season-opening baseball games at Comerica Park in Detroit and Progressive Field in Cleveland (the former due to being a Detroit-area resident, the latter due to being a native Ohioan), and twice sang the national anthem at World Series hosted by the Detroit Tigers (Game 2 in 2006, Game 3 in 2012). A recording of Baker's rendition of the National Anthem is still used at Comerica Park on occasion. In December 2011, Baker had been scheduled to sing "Sweet Love" during a tribute show for Detroit R&B music. Rumors of friction between Baker and fellow performer Jill Scott were initially seen as a possible cause of Baker leaving the show at the last minute. However, Baker attributed her exit to its producers refusing to allow her to properly rehearse her number with the other performers who would be singing with her, presumably Marsha Ambrosius and Ledisi, who sang "Sweet Love" on the show's broadcast.

In August 2012, Baker released her version of Tyrese's hit, "Lately". The song made headlines for Baker after the song was played on every single hour of the hour throughout the day on urban adult contemporary radio, making her the first artist to make this kind of debut. Baker has been working on the album featuring the single, "Only Forever", since 2010. Though Blue Note set release dates for the album in October and December 2012, Baker decided she still needed to work on the album, causing delays. Currently the album has no release date. In February 2013, Baker returned to the national spotlight, performing "Lately" and "Same Ole Love" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. That same month, she appeared at the Grammys where "Lately" was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Personal life

Baker married Walter Bridgeforth, Jr. on December 24, 1988. The couple separated in 2005 and finalized their divorce two years later. They have two sons, Walter Baker Bridgeforth (born January 1993) and Edward Carlton Bridgeforth (born May 1994). Baker currently lives in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Her son Walter is now attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, as a drum principal, majoring in Music Production & Engineering.

More than five years after her divorce, Baker filed for a legal name change from Bridgeforth to Baker in her private life. Since she had always used the name Anita Baker professionally, her name change meant nothing in terms of her career.

Legal issue

On March 19, 2014, a bench warrant was issued for her arrest pertaining to a lawsuit that alleges she failed to pay more than $15,000 for work done on her Grosse Pointe home; it was lifted days later.

Peacock: NBC Streaming Service Release Date, Shows, Price, and News

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The streaming service field is becoming more fractured, as more and more media companies break from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu in favor of creating their own streaming services. NBCUniversal—the Comcast Corp. division that owns NBC, MSNBC, USA, and the Universal Pictures movie studio—is next up with new streaming service Peacock.

Peacock will feature content from NBC, Bravo, USA Network, SYFY, Oxygen, E!, CNBC, MSNBC, NBCSN, Golf Channel, Universal Kids, A&E, ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, HISTORY, Nickelodeon, Showtime, Universal Pictures, DreamWorks, Focus Features, Illumination, ViacomCBS, Paramount, Lionsgate, Warner Bros., and Blumhouse.

Here’s what we know:

Peacock Release Date

Peacock was made available to Comcast’s Xfinity X1 platform subscribers on April 15, 2020. The service will officially roll out to the rest of the country on July 15, 2020. NBCUniversal has plans for an international release of the service but no timeframe has been announced yet.

Peacock Price

What is Peacock going to cost? Well…that’s complicated. NBC is deviating from WarnerMedia, Disney, and Apple by incorporating pricing tiers into its service at launch. Peacock has three potential pricing options: free, $4.99, and $9.99. Here is what you’ll get at each price point:

Peacock Free includes 13,000 hours of NBCUniversal content, including still-airing series a week after they premiere. It will also feature advertisements.

Peacock Premium (with ads) is the $4.99 option and will include everything that the streaming service has to offer (over 20,000 hours of content) including Peacock originals and next-day availability of current TV shows…but also dumb old commercials.

Peacock Premium (without ads) is $4.99 for Comcast subscribers and $9.99 for everyone else. It will include the full spectrum of Peacock content with no ads.

Peacock Platforms

Peacock is available to be streamed on the following platforms:

Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD.

Google platforms and devices including Android, Android TV devices, Chromecast and Chromecast built-in devices.

Microsoft’s Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One S and Xbox One X; and VIZIO SmartCast™ TVs and LG Smart TVs.

Comcast Xfinity X1 and Flex users, as well as eligible Cox Contour customers, can use Peacock Premium included with their service at no additional cost.

Starting the week of July 20, Peacock will be available Sony PlayStation 4 andPlayStation 4 Pro.

Notable absences on this list include two of the most popular streaming device providers in Roku and Amazon Fire. Just as WarnerMedia was unable to cut deals with either company for HBO Max, so too was NBCUniversal unable to do so with Peacock.

Peacock Originals

NBCUniversal has revealed the first batch of original programming coming to the service:

Patients entered his operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries and left permanently maimed or dead. As victims piled up, two fellow physicians, neurosurgeon Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Christian Slater), set out to stop him. Dr. Death explores the twisted mind of a sociopath and the gross negligence of the system designed to protect the most defenseless among us.”

Expecting

“Ellie, a fiercely independent but perpetually single music manager, has always wanted a family but never found a man worthy of the role of ‘father.’ That is, until her 39th birthday, when she decides to ask her gay best friend and co-worker, Jonathan, if he’ll be her sperm donor. When Jonathan surprises himself by saying ‘yes,’ it sets off a chain of events that turn Ellie and Jonathan’s personal and professional lives upside down as they try to turn their ‘chosen family’ into a biological family. Mindy Kaling will executive produce.” – Per THR.

The first installment of this anthology series will be based on Bilton’s acclaimed book Hatching Twitter, a tale of betrayed friendships and high-stakes power struggles that accompanied the meteoric rise of the infamous tech company. 140 characters and a few lines of code changed the world, disrupting the very fabric of the way people communicate. This series will explore the real masterminds behind it all, how it was done, and the colossal ramifications the technology will have on our future.” – Per THR.

MacGruber

After rotting in prison for over a decade, America’s ultimate hero and uber patriot MacGruber is finally released.

Saved by the Bell (reboot)

“When California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the highest performing schools in the state – including Bayside High.

“Straight Talk examines what happens when two opposing ideologies are forced into an odd coupling. The main characters will be challenged by one another, making the moral lines at which they once stood harder to define.”

Our Entirely Subjective Guide to the Most Important Good-Weather Automotive Events of the Year

From the March 2018 issue

Like hedgehogs and wood frogs, many beloved vehicles go into hibernation in the winter. This garaged slumber protects them from predators such as potholes and road salt and from sliding into ravines, and it allows for the completion of deferred maintenance—or its continued deferral. But in the spring, they are awakened from their respite, flushed with fresh fluids, and driven or shipped to events around the world, where they are venerated, ridiculed, and raced, and generally given the opportunity to break down or crash and remind their owners of the fragility of life, which is a lesson that can’t be learned too often.

Even if you don’t own a special car, you can still take part in this annual ritual. Just go to an automotive event. Don’t know which ones are best? Well, as in all things automotive, let us be your guide. Here are 20 of the most interesting gatherings of our vehicular tribe in 2018. You don’t have to go to all of them, but you should.

Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance

Founded in 1996 as an upstart southern competitor to California’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Amelia Island has grown significantly in size and stature over the past 22 years to the point where the vehicles on display here are as prestigious as those at the world’s top car shows. Because it’s a bit less traditional, Amelia is often more adventurous in its classes and curation, so you’ll see unique concept, coachbuilt, and celebrity cars. And because it takes place on a tiny barrier island off the coast of northeast Florida, it is more self-contained than other such gatherings. Everything occurs at the Ritz-Carlton—auctions, art exhibits, lectures and discussions, sales of ephemera, manufacturer rides and drives, black-tie galas, excessive drinking, and the concours itself. This means less time slogging through traffic and more time ogling beautiful cars. The crowds have grown considerably in recent years, but the location and scale allow the event to maintain a hospitable sense of intimacy and accessibility. - March 9–11 • Amelia Island, FL • ameliaconcours.org

Radwood at Hooptie-Con

Don’t miss an opportunity to watch millennials make humiliating errors in appropriating ’80s and ’90s fashion while fetishizing ’80s and ’90s vehicles. A Crapcannes car-film festival, a 24 Hours of LeMons race, and an engine-heat BBQ cookoff cap off the festivities. - March 24 • Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma, CA • radwood.org

Moab Easter Jeep Safari

This annual tour is hosted by Red Rock 4-Wheelers and shepherds phalanxes of off-roaders, including the Jeep faithful, along 40 incredible off-road trails. To reward this fanatical brand allegiance, Jeep usually unveils a host of inspired concept vehicles. - March 24–April 1 • Moab, UT • rr4w.com

Touge California

This 200-mile rally on the Pacific coast is sponsored by the superb Japanophile publication Japanese Nostalgic Car. Now in its fourth year, the rally celebrates the diversity of collectible Japanese vehicles and the obsessive culture surrounding them. - April TBA • Southern California • japanesenostalgiccar.com

Luftgekühlt V

Five years ago, two-time Le Mans–class winner Patrick Long and his friend Howie Idelson decided to put on a car show. As, like just about everyone else, they love air-cooled Porsches, they focused their event on them. They named it “Luftgekühlt” because that word has uniquely complex combinations of consonants and because it happens to mean “air cooled” in German. They then invited cars that represented an obsessive’s history of air-cooled Porsches to the parking lot of an L.A. cycle shop and told friends to stop by. Now in its fifth year, this pop-up show has become the event for Porschephiles but somehow retains its compelling combination of cool congeniality, insider exclusivity, and extremely good taste in Porsches. Celebrities such as Jerry Seinfeld and Patrick Dempsey mix with tuners, artists, brand ambassadors, fanboys, and the kind of hip concessioners usually absent from concourses. Sign up for updates online so you’ll be in the know when this year’s location is revealed. - April 22 • Los Angeles, CA • luftgekuhlt.com

Syncro Fest

This off-roading/camping event is the largest gathering of all-wheel-drive Volkswagen Vanagon Syncros (and other Type 2s) in America. Given its timing near May 5, it has also gone by the culturally appropriative and humorous name Syncro de Mayo. - May 3–8 • Hollister, CA • syncrofest.com

Southern Ohio Forest Rally

This stretch of forest was once the battleground for a famed rivalry in the ’70s and ’80s but then went out of use for 21 years. The event, now bumped up to 130 stage miles, returned to Rally America’s schedule last year with 76 starters—RA’s biggest run in ’17. - May 18–19 • Chillicothe, OH • southernohioforestrally.com

Isle of Man TT

The world’s most dangerous motorcycle race features hundreds of crazed racers careening at more than 200 mph around a 38-mile loop of public roads on this rugged Irish Sea island. Watch amateurs attempt the same thing on “Mad Sunday.” - May 26–June 8 • Isle of Man • iomtt.com

Toledo Speedway Night of Destruction

Do you like to see big things being ruined? Ever wish you could witness a field of liveried school buses racing around a figure eight, smashing and flipping until they’re nothing but shard salad? Yeah, us, too. This year, you have two opportunities to catch the carnage. - June 1 and August 17 • Toledo, OH • toledospeedway.com

24 Hours of Le Mans

A prestigious and historic endurance race, famous for advanced prototype race cars. But the site also has a concert venue, fairgrounds, and a carnival in the track’s center full of 250,000 drunk, sleep-deprived cavorters. A spectacular spectacle. - June 16–17 • Le Mans, France • lemans.org

The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

This crazed mountaintop race is the second-oldest continuously operating American motorsports event after the Indianapolis 500. With the notable exceptions of the years during which the world wars were being fought plus 1935, it has been held annually since 1916. The Hill Climb is aptly named as it entails racing up a 12.4-mile slog that features not only 156 turns but a gain of nearly one vertical mile of elevation. It ends at the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak, among the tallest in the continental United States. The air is thin at the summit, with 41 percent less oxygen than at sea level, so drivers and their vehicles have to work harder to maintain power, speed, and focus. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and quads all participate. In fact, unlike most sanctioned races, there are no limits on the type of vehicle that can enter; drivers have made the climb in overpowered semis and homemade EVs. Gravel sections used to add to the course’s harrowing nature, but since 2011, for better or worse, the entire route has been paved. - June 24 • Colorado Springs, CO • ppihc.org

EyesOn Design

A carefully curated, 200-plus-vehicle celebration of ideal automotive design held at the lakefront home of Edsel Ford, whose name is ironically and unfairly synonymous with ghastly automotive design. - June 17 • Grosse Pointe Shores, MI • eyesondesign.org

Goodwood Festival of Speed

The 26th edition of the world’s greatest automotive garden party. Held on the posh estate of the Duke of Richmond, the centerpiece is a balls-out hill-climb up the Duke’s driveway in everything from monster trucks to Formula 1 race cars. - July 12–15 • West Sussex, England • goodwood.com

Van Nationals

There is nothing shady about a van. Belief in this mantra, and little else, will unite some 600 vans and their drivers and occupants for “five days of hanging loose” in an area of Indiana that must be a minimum of 500 feet away from any school. - July 25–29 • Rensselaer, IN • van-nationals.com

Bonneville Speed Week

For more than a century, the salt flats around Bonneville, once measuring 96,000 acres but now only 30,000, have been the premier location in the human quest for maximum vehicular velocity. Bring sunscreen but leave your margarita rim jokes at home. - August 11–17 • Bonneville Salt Flats, UT • scta-bni.org

Monterey Car Week

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance has been wowing car lovers since 1950. In the intervening seven decades, the event has developed from a small sports-car show and race into a weeklong car-and-lifestyle bacchanal that blankets the Monterey Peninsula in plumes of blue smoke and champagne spume. The actual concours is a must-see, and the ancillary events are more than worthwhile. Concorso Italiano showcases vintage Italian cars, with rows of overheating De Tomasos and Lancias. Legends of the Autobahn does the same for the Germans, but with less wasted fluids. The Quail is an exercise in elite excess for the oligarchic and overrestored—cars and humans alike. The Concours d’LeMons revives beloved and maligned baroque vehicles, mostly from the ’70s and ’80s. Auctions from Bonhams, Gooding, and RM Sotheby’s feature record-setting, eight-figure classics. But our favorite show comes with admission to the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca: the chance to wander around the paddock and see, hear, smell, and feel vintage cars of every era starting up, revving, running, and racing. - August 17–26 • Monterey, CA • pebblebeachconcours.net

Woodward Dream Cruise

An amorphous automotive takeover of a 20-mile stretch of the first paved road in Detroit and America. If you enjoy the sound of Hemis, Clevelands, and small-blocks sitting in traffic, the Dream Cruise is for you. Prepare for full-on idle worship. - August 18 • Ferndale, MI, to Pontiac, MI • woodwarddreamcruise.com

NHRA U.S. Nationals

Drag racing is one of the seven wonders of the profligate world. This final race of the National Hot Rod Association’s regular season is where drivers make last-ditch efforts to qualify for the championship playoffs and to wow deafened, fume-dizzied crowds with displays of speed greater than 300 mph. Attendees are as much victims of assault as they are spectators. - August 29–September 3 • Indianapolis, IN • nhra.com

The Orphanage Challenge

Carlton Toledo:

Brett is my best friend! He’s a good guy, and I’m so glad I got to meet him even if the circumstances of our meeting are out of the ordinary. We had a really good talk earlier. I just wish we didn’t have to share our room with Kayden. Ugh! I’m so annoyed at him after earlier. I don’t get what happened, he was fine before. I’ve seen him be mean to other people though. I think it’s just the way he is. I talked it through with Brett and cooled down a bit, and I’m sure I’ll come to forgive Kayden.

4 reasons NFL fans should watch Alabama WR Calvin Ridley vs. Auburn

Calvin Ridley could join Julio Jones and Amari Cooper as another Alabama receiver to get drafted in the top 10.

Stakes will be high in Auburn on Saturday when Alabama travels across the state for the Iron Bowl.

That’s not unusual for the matchup, but the 2017 rivalry game carries a little more weight than the typical meeting of the two SEC powerhouses. With the Crimson Tide at No. 1 in the CFB Playoff Rankings and the Tigers not far behind at No. 6, there are serious playoff ramifications at stake.

But for the NFL fan, there’s plenty of talent and future draft prospects worth taking a close look at. Alabama junior wide receiver Calvin Ridley is among those at the very top of that list.

In the last decade, Julio Jones and Amari Cooper both ended productive careers as receivers at Alabama by landing in the top 10 of the NFL draft. Ridley may be a few months from doing the same.

Here are four reasons to keep an eye on Ridley this weekend:

1. Ridley may be the top receiver in the class

If Ridley enters the draft (he’s eligible as a true junior), he’ll likely be contending with Texas A&M’s Christian Kirk, Oklahoma State’s James Washington and SMU’s Courtland Sutton to be the first receiver selected.

In the latest mock draft from SB Nation’s Dan Kadar, Ridley was the only receiver in the top 10. Kadar slated him to the Chicago Bears:

The debate for the draft’s top receiver is completely up in the air. Ridley is a little bigger than players like Christian Kirk and James Washington and faster than someone like Courtland Sutton. For now, he gets the nod and would give the Bears a No. 1 receiver for Mitchell Trubisky.

Sutton was the only other receiver in the first round of Kadar’s mock draft, going three picks later to the Ravens.

2. Auburn CB Carlton Davis is a tough test

The junior cornerback was a Freshman All-American before struggling through injuries in his sophomore season. Now that he’s healthy again, Davis looks like his former self and has generated some draft hype of his own.

At 6’1, 203 pounds, Davis often looks to press at the line of scrimmage and win with his strength.

— J.R. (@JReidDraftScout) November 14, 2017

He’ll have a size advantage against the 6’1, 190-pound wide receiver, making it an interesting battle between physicality and speed.

3. Ridley has been on a roll

After topping 100 receiving yards in six of his first 20 games at Alabama, he didn’t reach 100 in his next 19 games. That streak ended two weeks ago when he exploded for 171 yards against Mississippi State.

He kept that momentum rolling last week with 103 yards vs. Mercer, including a 66-yard touchdown on a route so clean it made the defensive back fall on all fours.

Wow @CalvinRidley1 66-Yard Td Catch #SecNetwork http://pic.twitter.com/VaLLHiIi9A

— InsideBamaRecruiting (@RTRnews) November 18, 2017

At his best, this is what Ridley offers. The ability to make game-changing plays as an elite deep threat.

It’s exactly what he earned him a comparison to Stefon Diggs of the Minnesota Vikings from Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com:

We've seen flashes of Diggs' playmaking skills during his brief career and I believe Ridley has a similar skill set.

Through 11 games in 2017, Ridley has broke free for 60 or more yards four times — the second most in the FBS, behind only the five times Toledo’s Diontae Johnson has taken the top off a defense for more than 60 yards.

4. The Iron Bowl is always chock full of draft talent

Make no mistake: there are a lot of future NFL players playing in the Iron Bowl on Saturday. In the last four NFL drafts, there’s been a total of 31 Alabama players selected and another 16 from Auburn.

That trend isn’t about to stop. This year’s squad have players other than Ridley worth watching.

Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick was also in Kadar’s 2018 mock draft, as well as defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne and safety Ronnie Harrison. There’s also Auburn guard Braden Smith and running back K erryon Johnson, among others, who will draw NFL eyes.

Ridley may be the best of that bunch.

The Frequent Hurts and the Leave are now transferred to the office of Tod the One.

For the upcoming shoot, I am not singing in Harvelles. We will film at the bar at the Ritz Carlton. Tod will overlook. For future reference I will not be working with Toledo Diamond in the future. He is a talented, however unstable individual. I will instead work with Margeritte. I will do no more of this work until I can review my contracts and oversee all of this in person.

Please make arrangements to get the bar for the shoot. Make sure that there is proper lighting. I will need a smoke machine and we can try a bubble machine as well.

I do not film, record, interview or arrive in LA. LA is off limits for me. There are fines involved for so sending me. That is a very dangerous town.

Note: The Shoot is now to be at the Monarch, And Mageritte is to be the choreographer. Thank you. Please have someone look at the budget and make sure the funding is proper for this project. Also please hire an independent accounting firm to go over my contracts budgets expenses and revenues. I must have a list of all parties who shall participate in the income, revenues and profits as well as royalties and liscensing and determine if their contribution merits this disbursement. And please quit lying about me to everyone.

Peacock: NBC Streaming Service Release Date, Shows, Price, and News

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

The streaming service field is becoming more fractured, as more and more media companies break from Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu in favor of creating their own streaming services.

While Disney’s Disney+, HBO MAX, and Apple’s TV+ may be the most talked-about right now, NBCUniversal—the Comcast Corp. division that owns NBC, MSNBC, USA, and the Universal Pictures movie studio—is also planning to launch its own streaming service. Here’s what we know:

Peacock Release Date

Peacock Price

Peacock Free includes next-day access to current seasons of freshman broadcast series, a handful of unspecificed film and TV options. It will also feature advertisements.

Peacock Premium (with ads) is the $4.99 option and will include everything that the streaming service has to offer…but also dumb old commercials.

Peacock Premium (without ads) is $4.99 for Comcast subscribers and $9.99 for everyone else. It will include the full spectrum of Peacock content with no ads.

Notably, both versions of Peacock Premium will include live NBC sporting events. That is something that none of the major OTT streaming services other than CBS All Access offer.

Peacock Shows

NBCUniversal has revealed the first batch of original programming coming to the service:

The Adventure Zone

A.P. Bio (Season 3)

Angelyne (limited series)

“Limited series based on The Hollywood Reporter feature that explored the identity of L.A.’s mysterious billboard bombshell.”

Battlestar Galactica

“Battlestar Galactica returns to television with Sam Esmail producing.” Read more about this reboot here.

Brave New World

Clean Slate

Division One

Dr. Death

Expecting

Hatching Twitter

MacGruber

One of Us Is Lying (pilot)

Psych 2: Lassie Come Home

Punky Brewster (pilot)

Rutherford Falls

“Ed Helms portrays Nathan Rutherford, the eponymous denizen of a small New England town, who is having difficulty facing the inevitable changes to his way of life.”

Saved by the Bell (reboot)
