The film stars Robert De Niro in the dual roles of Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, two rival New York mobsters. The film follows their lives from their friendship at New York's Alto Knights social club through an attempted assassination of Costello and the Apalachin meeting of 1957. Barry Levinson directed from a script by Nicholas Pileggi, the writer of Goodfellas and Casino and the books upon which those films were based. Debra Messing plays Costello's wife, Bobbie. In an interview with UPI, Messing said Bobbie was trying to get Costello to retire. The couple moved to Long Island at her urging. Pileggi and producer Irwin Winkler also spoke with UPI about how Costello and Genovese represented "the end of the mob." The film also stars Cosmo Jarvis, Kathrine Narducci, Michael Rispoli and Wallace Langham.

What's ESPN replacing Around the Horn with? Here's a (temporary) answer.
What's ESPN replacing Around the Horn with? Here's a (temporary) answer. ESPN has a hole to fill now that Around the Horn has ended its 23-year run -- last week, host Tony Reali explained the scoring system and gave us one last Goodfellas opener -- in the 5 p.m. ET timeslot before Pardon the Interruption. But what will the Worldwide Leader do in that spot now that ATH is no more? The answer we have is short-term, not long-term, so we'll see what kind of programming ESPN comes up with for that late-day placement. For now, per the Hollywood Reporter, "Beginning on Tuesday, May 27, a 30-minute SportsCenter, anchored (from Bristol, of course) by Matt Barrie and Christine Williamson, will temporarily air in its place." That's it for now, and with the additional changes at the network -- no more SportsCenter LA -- viewers will have some things to get used to.

The final Around The Horn opened with one last 'Goodfellas' tribute
The final Around The Horn opened with one last 'Goodfellas' tribute Friday was an emotional day for fans of ESPN's iconic talk show Around the Horn, which broadcast its final episode after more than 23 years on the air. For longtime viewers, however, the show began with a perfect callback. Tony Reali, who has hosted the show since 2004, is a major fan of the movie "Goodfellas" and has previously acted out parodies from the film. To begin the final episode, Reali reenacted a prior bit in which he performed a studio tour in the vein of the iconic club scene from "Goodfellas." AROUND THE HORN: Tony Reali's show evolved beyond 'Sports Shouting' and into ESPN's pantheon To begin the final episode, Reali referenced the iconic Henry Hill line in the opening scene, "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." In Reali's version, he said, "As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a sportscaster." For reference, here's the scene from "Goodfellas." (Warning: The following clip contains NSFW language and content) As mentioned above, it was not only an homage to the movie but also to one of the most iconic moments in the history of "Around the Horn," in which Reali performed a studio tour themed to the movie during the early days of the show's run. While the more than two-decade run of "Around the Horn" is coming to an end, there was plenty of fan service to be found in the show's final episode.
