McCabe has discovered that bad movies can be good business. In the heady days of the early 1980s, mom-and-pop video outlets could rack up profits within months of opening shop. But today the chains have muscled away 75 percent of the rental market, forcing some independents to get weird to survive. Vidiots of Santa Monica offers such fare as “Relax,” a 1937 secretarial-training film. Video Vault’s 8,000 titles cover the full range of video exotica, from biker movies to “blaxploitation” pictures to sword-and-sandal epics like “Spartacus....

The deal will keep Mirotic with Barcelona through 2020 with the option of a fourth season. Mirotic was expected to be one of the top NBA free agents on the market when it opened earlier this week. He likely would have received offers in the $45 million to $50 million range if he stayed in the NBA, The Athletic notes.

I mean, I think if we had been up five or six runs, then maybe. But it was a close game all the way through.” So maybe it wasn’t a squandered golden opportunity, but the Giants did have a chance to take complete control of the 2014 NLCS on Sunday night at Busch Stadium, and for the first time this postseason, they didn’t take advantage of the situation at hand....

“The entire industry is going to get turned upside down in a short time,” Fred Carr once predicted. Not quite. Last week it was Carr’s insurance empire that was turned upside down as California officials took control of Executive Life Insurance Co.

Bayern Munich kicked off their Bundesliga campaign in fine fashion Friday, easily dismissing Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 at the Allianz Arena. Casual observers will see nothing amiss about that scoreline — after all, Bayern’s dominance over the Bundesliga is well known. The current holders are pushing for a sixth straight title, with no one managing to keep them from the crown since Jurgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund in 2011-12. But it is worth remembering that a few weeks ago, this type of performance was considered anything but a given....
