Bumblebee (2018) Review
Bumblebee (2018) is a once in a Gen-1 event: a good Transformers movie. #Review
It may seem something of an oxymoron, but “Bumblebee” is a genuinely good “Transformers” film. Now, I’m happy to admit I’m heavily biased, having grown up loving and watching and reading the Gen 1 toys, cartoon and Marvel comic series but my tinted glasses just make the rosy nostalgia of “Bumblebee” even rosier.
With the war on Cybertron all but lost, Optimus Prime dispatches B-127 to Earth to…

Look at all the 2020 NFL Draft prospects with famous football relatives
Tumblr media
Randy Moss’ son, Thaddeus, and Trevon Diggs, brother of Stefon, will be joining the NFL.
Randy Moss and Antoine Winfield each has a son in this year’s draft, while Stefon Diggs’ brother is another top prospect.
There will be some familiar names announced all throughout the 2020 NFL Draft, even for fans who didn’t watch these players on Saturdays during the college football season. That’s because this year’s class is filled with prospects who’ve had a close relative play in the NFL.
Some of those relatives became Hall of Famers, while others were journeymen. A few are still in the NFL.
Let’s introduce you to the guys who will be following in a family member’s footsteps. This isn’t a complete list — other, lesser-known prospects this year have had a cousin, brother, uncle, father, or grandfather who had a cup of coffee in the NFL.
Instead, we’re highlighting some of the most recognizable players, both from this year’s group and from past draft classes.
The big names
These prospects could all be future NFL stars, and not just because of their bloodlines.
Joe Burrow, QB, LSU: Son of Jim Burrow
The expected No. 1 overall pick’s father played defensive back for Nebraska, getting drafted in the eighth round by the Green Bay Packers in 1976. Please look take a moment to look at this glorious stache:
Lots of players in this draft whose fathers played in the NFL but the one everyone forgets about is Jim Burrow, Joe's dad, who was drafted in the 8th round in 1976, was on Packers roster for one year before heading to the CFL. pic.twitter.com/3crJE5C65v
— Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) April 13, 2020
Jim played three games for the Packers that season, getting cut after a Week 3 loss to his son’s likely future team, the Bengals. After a five-year CFL career, Jim began coaching at both the college and high school levels.
Most recently, he was the associate head coach/defensive coordinator at Ohio University, where he worked from 2005-18 until he retired. That gave him time to attend every game of Joe’s senior year, which culminated in a Heisman Trophy and national championship.
Jeremy Chinn, CB, Southern Illinois: Nephew of Steve Atwater
Chinn, a cornerback out of FCS Southern Illinois, is the nephew of the eight-time Pro Bowl safety, who was just elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020. Atwater played in the NFL for 11 seasons, spending all but one of them with the Denver Broncos.

Steve Atwater during the Hall of Fame Press conference during the NFL Honors on February 1, 2020.
“Yeah, I’ve been able to talk to Steve really just about the process,” Chinn said of his uncle in February. “I talked to him most recently a couple of months before the Senior Bowl to talk to him about the process, not just the NFL Combine process. But just life in general, becoming an NFL player.”
Despite playing for a smaller school, Chinn got plenty of notice after his impressive performance at both the Senior Bowl and the combine. He shouldn’t have to wait too long to hear his name called.
Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama: Brother of Stefon Diggs
The former Alabama corner is the younger brother of Stefon, now with the Bills after a trade from the Vikings. Trevon started his career as a wide receiver, just like his brother, before transitioning to cornerback full-time. He’s excelled on the other side of the ball, finishing 2019 with 37 tackles, four interceptions, and 21 passes defended.
“He’s like my dad, honestly,” Trevon said of his older brother at the NFL Combine. “He was there for me when my father passed, so he has always taken care of me. I always ask him everything, no matter what. Two o’clock in the morning, I’m asking him questions.”
How cool would it be to see Trevon and his brother face off one-on-one next season?
Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas: Cousin of Kyler Murray
The former Longhorn receiver accounted for 2,468 yards and 16 touchdowns during his four-year career. Duvernay is the younger cousin of Murray, the No. 1 pick in 2019 who also took home the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
“Not really,” Duvernay said at the combine when asked if him and Murray were competitive growing up. “We’d get together on family holidays and stuff and throw and stuff, but nothing too major.”
Receiver isn’t a big need for the Cardinals after they acquired DeAndre Hopkins. Still, it’d be fun if Duvernay landed in Arizona with his cousin.
Thaddeus Moss, TE, LSU: Son of Randy Moss
Two years after being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Randy Moss will get to see his son enter the NFL. Thaddeus is slightly shorter but has 40 pounds on his father, so it’s not surprising he ended up as a tight end rather than wide receiver.
Thaddeus started his career at NC State before transferring to LSU. After having to sit out a season due to NCAA transfer rules and then redshirting the next year with a foot injury, he played just one season with the Tigers in 2019. He finished with 47 receptions for 570 yards, both of which are school records for a tight end. One of his TD catches against Alabama looked eerily similar to one his dad would’ve made:
Thaddeus Moss did Randy proud with this grab, WHAT A CATCH! pic.twitter.com/eVf42EypNA
— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) November 9, 2019
Thaddeus might not be the electric receiver his father was, but he certainly has the tools to be a breakout tight end in the NFL.
Michael Pittman Jr., WR, USC: Son of Michael Pittman
Michael Pittman Sr. was an NFL running back for 11 seasons, mostly with the Cardinals and Buccaneers. He was even the leading rusher during the Bucs’ Super Bowl XXXVII win over the Raiders, with 124 yards on 29 carries. Pittman Jr. said that he played running back like his father until he grew to his current 6’4’ frame.
“I grew up watching him and I always wanted to play back, but I just outgrew that and I switched [positions],” he said after the Senior Bowl.
Pittman Jr., who is also an excellent special teams player, is coming off a breakout senior season at USC. He had a team-high 101 catches for 1,275 yards and 11 touchdowns, all career bests.
Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU: Son of Montae Reagor
Reagor led TCU in receiving in 2018 and 2019, catching 148 receptions for 2,248 yards and 22 touchdowns over three seasons. His dad, Montae, played defensive tackle and was a second-round pick in the 1999 draft. He spent nine seasons in the NFL.
Montae won a Super Bowl with the Colts, and Jalen, who returned two punts for touchdowns in 2019, says his favorite returner to watch growing up was Devin Hester.
“Because I watched him do it in the Super Bowl against my dad,” Reagor said via the Star-Telegram.
Hester returned the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown against his dad’s team in that 2007 Super Bowl.
Jalen doesn’t have his father’s size and he’s faster too, but he should follow in his dad’s footsteps by being an early-round pick in the draft.
Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Minnesota: Son of Antoine Winfield
Winfield Sr. played in the NFL for 14 seasons. The three-time All-Pro cornerback was drafted No. 23 overall by the Bills in 1999, though he’s mostly known for his time with the Vikings from 2004-12.
Winfield Jr. played safety at Minnesota, but injuries caused him to miss 16 games as a sophomore and junior. Fully healthy in 2019, he was a unanimous All-American who finished with a career-high seven interceptions and 88 tackles.
That kind of playmaking runs in the family.

Been playing this game ever since I could walk! Huge throwback with pops
A post shared by Antoine Winfield Jr (@antoinewinfieldjr) on Mar 14, 2020 at 12:46pm PDT
At the NFL Combine, Winfield Jr. was asked about how his game is similar to his father’s.
“It comes when I’m tackling,” he said. “I’ll make a tackle and I’m like, ‘oh wow, I’ve seen my dad make the same tackle, watching his highlights.’ It’s just crazy just see the comparison between us, because we play pretty much the exact same.”

Notorious (2009)
Biography, Crime, Drama |
Notorious is a American biographical drama film directed by George Tillman Jr. about American rapper Christopher Wallace / The Notorious B.I.G., following his life and murder. The film stars Jamal Woolard as Wallace, alongside Angela Bassett, Derek Luke, and Anthony Mackie. Woolard reprised his role as Wallace in All Eyez on Me (2017).
The film opens at a party in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997. Just as The Notorious B.I.G. is about to be killed in a shooting, the film flashes back to Biggie’s childhood in Brooklyn, New York, where he lived during his childhood years as a hard-working school student before he begins dealing drugs. Christopher, now older, sells drugs at the height of the crack epidemic, hustling with his friends “D-Roc” and Lil’ Cease.
When his girlfriend, Jan Jackson, tells him that she is pregnant, he takes drug dealing more seriously so he can earn more money to support his growing family. Christopher eventually participates in a rap battle, where he wins, but his mother, Voletta Wallace, kicks him out of the house after finding drugs underneath his bed and also because of the fact letters were sent home about him not attending school.
Chris gets caught with guns and drugs, and he serves nine months in jail before being bailed out. Christopher meets Kim Jones, but Kim refuses to pursue a relationship with him due to her abusive past. After reconciling with his mother and visiting his newborn daughter, T’yanna, he records a demo under the name “Biggie Smalls”, which catches the attention of Puff, an ambitious record producer working for Uptown.
