5 Movies and TV Shows Not to Miss Over the Fourth of July Weekend
Tour de France: Unchained (Netflix)
The third (and, sadly, final) season of this always-gripping deep dive into the world of men's professional cycling is out now on Netflix, and while even eight 40-minute episodes can't quite do justice to the staggering feat that was the Tour de France 2024, it's fun to revisit Tadej Pogačar's victory and take in the majestic views of French hillsides.
How to watch: Stream on Netflix.

Letters to Sports: Split decision on Bill Plaschke's 'greatest' Dodgers column
Bill Plaschke has decided that Clayton Kershaw is the greatest pitcher in Dodgers history. Given the distinct eras in which they both pitched, and the completely different roles starting pitchers have today, it is really impossible to definitively conclude who is the absolute greatest. I think the best we can say is that, without much doubt, Sandy Koufax had the greatest five-year stretch of any pitcher in baseball history, and at his peak, was the most dominant pitcher in the history of the game. Kershaw, on the other hand, has had the greatest career and consistency of performance by any Dodger pitcher ever. And perhaps, Bill, it is best if we just leave it at that. Drew Pomerance Tarzana With all due respect to Bill Plaschke, why does Clayton Kershaw have to be "greater" than Sandy Koufax, or Don Drysdale for that matter? Can't we just enjoy all their greatness as part of Dodgers history without anointing one greater than another? Don't forget, Drysdale pitched six consecutive shutouts and 58 scoreless innings. What's greater than that? Advertisement Rhys Thomas Valley Glen In what should have been the easiest article to write in Mr. Plaschke's illustrious career, Bill completely whiffs when comparing Kershaw to Koufax. Baseball's dramatic evolution over the last 60 years makes it impossible to compare the greatness of both men. Sandy and Clayton represent the best in Dodgers baseball and there is no need to celebrate the greatest Dodgers pitcher of the 21st century at the expense of the greatest Dodgers pitcher of the 20th century. Rob Demonteverde Brea Special 'K ' night In the game when Clayton Kershaw got his 3,000th strikeout, the Dodgers had a Hollywood ending when Freddie Freeman drove Shohei Ohtani in for a walk-off victory. It was fitting that strikeout number 3,000 came at the expense of Vinny Capra — Vinny as in Vin Scully, and Capra as in legendary filmmaker Frank Capra. Advertisement Ken Feldman Tarzana Discriminating concern The Dodgers are going to lose on their defense of their DEI programs for the simple paraphrasing in the reason set forth by Chief Justice Roberts that the way to end discrimination is not more discrimination … which is what the Dodgers engage in. They have touted it over and over again publicly. The irony is that DEI is the absolute last thing the organization would think about in assembling and paying those on its 40-man roster. Strangely, the Dodgers' supposedly brilliant owners and management fail to realize that absent DEI, just hiring the best applicants would produce plenty of diversity in their baseball organization. Advertisement Kip Dellinger Santa Monica All credit to the Dodgers for their DEI programs. I hope that they don't back down. I have not been a fan of billionaire hedge fund CEOs. However, if Stephen Miller's stooges are going after Mark Walter, I can only have new respect for him. Good for you, Mr. Walter. Noel Park Rancho Palos Verdes The king's return LeBron James maxed out his pay, taking $52 million for next season, leaving the Lakers with $6 million to spend on free agents and trades, which won't get much in today's NBA. Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan and Tom Brady are examples of superstars who took pay cuts to help their teams build a championship roster. Advertisement Such is the difference between a team player and, well, whatever LeBron is. I guess he must be more worried about making his next mortgage payment than winning championships. Jack Nelson Los Angeles Breaking news: LeBron James has decided he will allow his employer, the Los Angeles Lakers, to pay him a reported $52.6 million next season. In other news, the sun once again rose this morning and Earth continues to rotate properly on its axis. Richard Turnage Burbank Let me get this straight. Two weeks ago LeBron James decried the "ring culture" in the NBA. Fast-forward to James opting into his $52-million player option and his proxy, Rich Paul, releases a cryptic statement indicating James expects the Lakers to make the necessary improvements to make them a championship team. Thought rings didn't matter, LeBron? Advertisement Mark S. Roth Playa Vista Purple and sold Bill Plaschke got it right in the case of the Lakers' new ownership. A new broom does not have to sweep clean! Even with their flaws and mistakes, Rob Pelinka and rookie coach JJ Redick earned at least a stay of execution. They have accomplished 'enough' to earn the eventual trust of the new boss in town. With this massive shift in ownership, having some semblance of continuity is not a bad idea. Rick Solomon Lake Balboa Mixed emotions For over 20 years, there has not been a single NHL player I detested more than Corey Perry, especially when he played for that other local team. I have called him (words unsuitable to print here) more than any player in any sport. Hopefully his stay is no more than one season … unless he helps the Kings win the Stanley Cup. In that case — love ya, Corey. Always have and always will. Advertisement Erik Schuman Fountain Valley As a die-hard Kings fan, I have mixed feelings on their signing Corey Perry. But, I suppose, in the team's desperation to make it out of the first round, they signed a player that guarantees that they will be next year's Stanley Cup Final runner-up!

Mom Picks Up 12-Hour Shift on Father's Day, Leaving Dad with Kids After He Went Golfing on Mother's Day (Exclusive)
Michelle Rossi picked up a shift on Father's Day and documented her husband spending time with the kids on TikTok Rossi shares that her husband went golfing on Mother's Day, so she had to do something in return for Father's Day The video went viral, amassing 7.7 million viewsA mom got back at her husband on Father's Day after he left her alone with their kids on Mother's Day. A few years ago, Michelle Rossi's husband mistakenly made a tee time to golf with his friends on a sunny day in May, not knowing it was Mother's Day. In retaliation, she picked up a 12-hour nursing shift when Father's Day came around that June. Rossi documented her husband's reaction to spending the day with their kids on TikTok, sharing a FaceTime call of her at work while her family sat at home. "My husband said it's all about spending time with the kids on Mother's Day. So I picked up a 12-hour shift on Father's Day so he can spend time with them alone," she captioned the clip. Rossi, 34, exclusively tells PEOPLE that she "remembers the kids were crazy that day - they were only 2, 1, and 6 months old at the time. He was with them for 12 hours solo on Father's Day." When Rossi first posted the video, which garnered 7.7 million views, she says her husband laughed. "It's been a joke between us now," she shares. "I didn't think I'd get this big of a reaction." "The responses I received online were incredible. There were so many angry dads, but so many women praising me," she adds. "It was genuinely amusing to read the comments. I love the empowerment in the comment section." However, she hopes people "realize it wasn't necessarily meant to degrade [her] husband, even though it does seem like it.""Social media is not what it's all made out to be," she adds. "I love to post for fun and love to be relatable." Rossi emphasizes that it's an old video that she posts every year. Since the incident, things have improved, and "there has been no bad Mother's Days." "Usually, I wake up to my kids and him bringing me coffee and cards. Then we usually go out to breakfast," she shares. "This year, I got a massage. Most of the years were spent with our kids and families. Working in healthcare is hard because I'm not always off on holidays." This past Father's Day, they spent time at a water park with the kids and went out to breakfast.

While Rossi and her husband have since figured out the best way to spend the holidays, the video serves as a reminder that relationships and parenting are a two-way street. "It makes us moms realize we can give them the same treatment they treat us [with] on Mother's Day since it's after," Rossi adds. Read the original article on People

Man Tells Fiancée Her Friend Can't Bring 'Deadbeat' Boyfriend to the Wedding
A groom is refusing to invite the boyfriend of one of the bride's friends to the wedding The boyfriend is "a complete misogynist and all-around deadbeat," has a collection of inappropriate photos of his girlfriend's friends as well as multiple restraining orders against him "The last thing I would want is for my fiancée to feel uneasy at her own wedding but I don't feel comfortable having Rick around," the groom wroteA groom-to-be is putting his foot down when it comes to the wedding's guest list. In a post to Reddit's AITA forum, the groom wrote about a hitch in the guest list: one of the bride's friends has an "insanely rude" boyfriend whom the groom personally and strongly dislikes. But now the groom's refusal to invite the boyfriend to the wedding is causing drama in his fiancée's friend group. The groom, 26, was sorting out wedding invitations with the bride, 28, when they "came across an issue," the post read. The bride's friend, Emily, is dating a man named Rick, and for as long as the groom has known Emily, she's complained to the couple about everything Rick — "a complete misogynist and all-around deadbeat" — does. "He would stalk her at every bar, and do a bunch of weird s---, and almost like an African wild dog (they hunt by wearing down their prey), eventually I guess he wore her out until they started dating?" the groom wrote. Thus the groom developed a "well-known hatred of Rick," he wrote. He argued that "everyone hates Rick," including all of Emily's friends. The man had apparently collected inappropriate photos of Emily's friends, the groom wrote, and has multiple restraining orders against him. He "humiliates Emily publicly for amusement" and overall makes most women around him uncomfortable, he added. Furthermore, the groom's family is mostly made up of women, and he doesn't want to subject them to Rick's behavior at the wedding, he said. Before Rick and Emily started dating, the groom was vocal about his animosity towards him, so after they got together, "Emily excludes me from all events involving my fiancée's friend group," he wrote. As the bride and groom were sending out wedding invitations, the groom noticed Rick's name on the list and put his foot down: he didn't want Rick at their wedding. But the bride grew upset, noting that the ultimatum would harm her friend group's dynamic. "She told me that if this were to go through it would cause Emily to not come at all which would potentially cause even more drama with her friend group which would lead to potentially to a situation that would ruin the wedding," the groom wrote. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. He added, "The last thing I would want is for my fiancée to feel uneasy at her own wedding but I don't feel comfortable having Rick around." Those in the comments agreed with the groom — and pointed out that the bride seemed to have a habit of putting her friend group's interests above her fiancé's boundaries. The pattern didn't just start with the wedding invitations, one argued — it began when she allowed the friend group to ice out her partner instead of Emily's. "Your fiancé is fine with you being excluded by Emily and Rick but is throwing a tantrum at Rick receiving the same treatment because Emily will throw her own tantrum!" another wrote. "Emily's feelings and 'drama' is more important to your fiancee than you!" Read the original article on People
