They say that backup quarterbacks are the most popular guys on the football team. With New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady serving a suspension (appeal pending), backup Jimmy Garoppolo could surely get a lot of attention this week when the Pats host the Pittsburgh Steelers to open the 2015 NFL season, Thursday, Sept. 10, on NBC. With the outcome of any appeal unknown, Garoppolo was working in the pre-season with the starters under coach Bill Belichick’s guidance. Let’s not forget that when Brady went down with a knee injury in 2008 that Belichick coached then backup Matt Cassel to a 10-5 record as a starter. At the most, Garoppolo would be under center for four games, which beyond the Steelers include Buffalo and Jacksonville before heading to Dallas to face Tony Romo and the Cowboys in Week 5. That game follows a bye week for New England. Garoppolo, a rookie last season, was considered one of the better quarterbacks in the 2014 NFL Draft. He came out of Eastern Illinois University – also Romo’s alma mater – where he had been the starter since halfway through his freshman year in 2010. He put up respectable numbers, including breaking Romo’s school record for pass completions. In 2014, Garoppolo completed 19 of 27 passes with a touchdown and no interceptions in the six games that he played in for the Pats. A reversal of fortunes for Brady could demote Garoppolo back to clipboard duties, but if it doesn’t happen, he’ll be the most popular guy in New England’s locker room.

FULL NAME: James Garoppolo BORN: November 2, 1991 BIRTHPLACE: Franklin Park, IL HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6 foot 2 inches/225 pounds COLLEGE: Eastern Illinois University POSITION: Quarterback DRAFTED: Second round by New England Patriots NO.: 10 HONOR & ACHIEVEMENTS: Super Bowl Champion, 2014; FCS ADA National Offensive Player of the Year, 2013; Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Year, 2013; Walter Payton Award, 2013.

CHARLOT TESVILLE — Tyus Jones scored 17 points and hit a clinching 3-pointer with about 10 seconds remaining Saturday night as No. 4 Duke ended No. 2 Virginia’s 21-game home winning streak, 69-63. Jones’ 3-pointer was the fourth in the last four minutes for the Blue Devils (18-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had missed 11 of 13 before hitting the critical long-range shots they needed. Virginia (19-1, 7-1) started the second half with a 16-4 burst and led by 11 with just under 11 minutes to play before some ill-advised shots, turnovers and Duke’s blistering shooting turned the tables.

Here comes Colbert: Stephen takes over CBS’ ‘Late Show’ After more than a year of buildup, Stephen Colbert is ready to just get going. The former “Colbert Report” anchor assumes the seat David Letterman had for almost 22 years when CBS debuts “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” Tuesday, Sept. 8. With the program’s new host dropping what he labels the “character” he played on Comedy Central, he’ll welcome Stay Human’s Jon Batiste as his bandleader and George Clooney and Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush among his inaugural guests in New York’s freshly renovated Ed Sullivan Theater. “CBS has asked nothing of me other than (that) I fill an hour every night Monday through Friday,” a still-droll yet sincere Colbert says, “so the format hasn’t changed. There are certain things that happen perforce. There are six commercial breaks. There are seven acts. “I love the grind of a daily show. I love a live audience. I like meeting the guests, and I like telling jokes … but that’s it. They haven’t asked me to change or do anything. They like the show I used to do, and they said, ‘Would you mind adding another 120 hours a year?’ " For the bountiful comedy he did on “The Colbert Report,” Colbert believes the exchanges with guests will help make his "Late Show” transition easy and pleasurable: “I’m a comedian, but I have to say very quickly that my favorite thing on the (former) show became doing the interviews because I got into comedy through improvisation. And when we’re doing the jokes, which I love writing, and I love producing, I can only get those wrong. “But when you’re interviewing people, you don’t know what’s going to happen. That’s much closer to how I learned my craft. And you can have big stars or important politicians or impressive thinkers, but it’s sometimes the people you don’t expect to impress you who can be your best guests.” Indeed, Colbert notes that “all I really want from a guest is somebody who has something to say so I can play with them.

We have some common topic to be talking about. My character was actively ignorant about them.” That “character” Colbert exuded on “The Colbert Report” had reached the end of the line, he believes, when the “Late Show” offer came. “I felt I had done everything I could with him or everything I could do with that show … other than have my honest interest in my guest, which is almost constant. And so now, I feel actually more freed up. That was in some ways the most energetic, the most exciting part of the show to me. And now, I don’t have to hold back at all.” For advice on taking over “The Late Show,” Colbert went to the most logical source … Letterman. “I asked him questions (for) about a half an hour, and at one point I said, ‘Do you mind me asking you these questions?’ And he said, ‘I don’t mind at all. No one’s ever asked me these questions.’ And I said, ‘Really? No one’s ever asked you these questions?’ And he goes, ‘Who would know to ask, and who would care what the answer was?’ And that felt great. That was a very gracious way for him to say, you know, ‘Only the person sitting behind that chair cares about the conversation we’re having right now.’ ” Actually, a couple of others might, both named Jimmy: Fallon on NBC and Kimmel on ABC. Colbert’s arrival only can stoke the competition among late night shows, but he maintains he’s staying focused on his own task. “I have my own hopes for the kind of show that I want to do, but I won’t know until I’m on my wave,” he says. “All I can feel right now is the swell behind me, and I’m paddling as fast as I can, but I do know that the idea of war between hosts makes no sense to me. It’s not like my success takes away from anybody else, and fighting amongst each other doesn’t sound funny. There’s no joke there, so I’m not interested.”

Art

imitates life, they say, and that extends to the culinary arts as well for Gabrielle Hamilton, the New York restaurateur featured in the first eight episodes of this season’s “Mind of a Chef.” Currently airing Saturdays on PBS (check local listings), each episode of this revelatory series takes viewers inside the world of a gifted chef. Hamilton, who opened her East Village restaurant Prune in 1999, takes an autobiographical approach to her menu choices. “The food that I cook largely comes directly from deep experience with whatever the item and rarely if ever from a magazine or cookbook or another restaurant,” she explains. “Usually the dishes have some profound or just pleasurable connection to a time and place in my life when I would eat these things: this lamb chop from a family party when I was a

• Your book “Blood, Bones & Butter” is revered in the food world. What other chefs’ memoirs do you admire? “(Anthony Bourdain’s) ‘Kitchen Confidential’ is the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance of line cooks the world over. I also love ‘The Apprentice ‘by Jacques Pepin, so fine and elegantly written. And Madeleine Kamman’s ‘When French Women Cook’ is a perfect combination of food, story, sensuality and practicality all in one book.” • What’s your favorite ingredient to kick up a dish? “I put a lot of raw garlic in a lot of dishes that don’t usually get that, and that’s what usually lights things up for me.” • What is your favorite comfort food? “I never eat for any other reason than I am very hungry. The real answer, of course, is gin and tonic is what I’m going to have if I need to cheer up!” • What kind of music plays in your kitchen at work? “It’s so eclectic. When a new cook pops in their iPod, it can give you a sense of whether that person will work out. If it’s all pop girl crap, that’s going to be tough, or if it’s all heavy, heavy metal, that’s not going to work, either.”

kid or this Greek salad from the time I was a backpacker in Greece and ate a salad like that every day.” She prides herself on being practical and pragmatic, buying ingredients at her neighborhood grocery store. “You just have to know how to pick, how to select, then decide what you’re going to do with it,” Hamilton says. “I really stand by the pragmatism and realistic-ness of making do with what is in front of you, what you can afford and what you have the time for. It’s very possible to eat very well without the pursuit of the finest grain of wheat or the most perfect tomato.” And if you want to make her nuts, just throw away stuff that could still be used. “It’s a work ethic issue for me,” she says. “If you work a little harder, you can find a way to use the whole creature or the whole vegetable.”

BY JAY BOBBIN “THE AGE OF ADALINE” Some have referred to former “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively as a timeless beauty, and that’s never been more true than in her title performance in this fantasy-drama, which draws fresh pathos from a familiar premise. She plays a woman whose aging is halted by an accident, leaving her to appear eternally young ... a dilemma for her as those around her grow older. The situation becomes especially dicey when she finds her true love (Michiel Huisman, “Game of Thrones”) and becomes acquainted with his parents (Harrison Ford, particularly good here, and Kathy Baker). Ellen Burstyn also stars, and Lively holds her own impressively against such high-caliber colleagues. DVD extras: three “making-of” documentaries; audio commentary by director Lee Toland Krieger; deleted scenes. ››› (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)

“GOTHAM: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON” The roots of several legends are traced by this visually striking Fox series that’s based around young police detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie), who will go on to become the police commissioner of Gotham City. Before he gets there, he and his ethically flexible partner Bullock (Donal Logue) run across early versions of such nemeses as the Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor), the Riddler (Cory Michael Smith) and Catwoman (Camren Bicondova) – as well as the childhood Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz), who will grow into a certain Caped Crusader. Jada Pinkett Smith is impressive as the power-hungry Fish Mooney. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V) (Also on Blu-ray) “HOMELAND: THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON” One of television’s most acclaimed, complex and challenging dramas resumes, opening with Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes)

“BROOKLYN NINE-NINE: SEASON TWO”

Personal and professional challenges continue – and often conflict – for New York’s law-and-order Reagan family in this most recent round of the CBS drama. Police commissioner Frank (Tom Selleck) has his detective son Danny’s (Donnie Wahlberg) former boss (Robert Clohessy) as a new adviser, and Danny himself ends up with an on-the-job crisis that cuts very close to the home front ... and tests him to keep his emotions in check. Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes and Len Cariou also still star. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V)

The Fox police comedy continues with a particularly notable recurring guest star – Kyra Sedgwick, who largely gets to send up her Emmy-winning role in “The Closer” as a longtime professional nemesis of Captain Holt (Andre Braugher). As she works with the precinct, others there have cause to wonder if she’s “playing” them just to stoke her standing rivalry with Holt.

Ten teams, 10 positions, one very tired comedian. That’s the scenario Will Ferrell lived this past March 12, when for charity he took the field in five Arizona preseason games to play all nine on-field positions plus designated hitter for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Cincinnati Reds, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners, Oakland A’s and San Diego Padres. His head-spinning journey is chronicled in the documentary “Ferrell Takes the Field,” airing Saturday, Sept. 12, on HBO. Produced by a partnership between Major League Baseball and the humor website Funny or Die, the presentation is dedicated to helping Cancer for College, which provides scholarships for young people who have had the disease. In each of the five games, the then-47-year-old former “Saturday Night Live” star suited up with men half his age, played for half an inning, then went across the field to the other clubhouse, changed uniforms and played another half-inning. When done, he hopped into a waiting helicopter that took him to the next ballpark, where he repeated the routine. Along the way, he changed in bathrooms, ate lunch in a trainer’s room and did everything on the fly. On the field, he was vintage Ferrell – irreverent, goofy and clueless. But when he showed up in first thing in the morning in the A’s clubhouse, not everyone knew what to think. “Some of (the players) found out that morning,” explains Joe Farrell, an executive producer of the film. “I think some players were thrilled. Some players had costumes dressed as Will in his movies and some dressed up as Burt Reynolds from his ‘SNL’ ‘Jeopardy!’ days to sort of be with Will. So some players were really into it, and we were super respectful because other players, they’re trying to make a team. You know, we made some jokes about how two weeks from now, a lot of you guys might not be on the team. But that was true, and so we were super respectful to guys taking at-bats.” When the day, which lasted from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., was done, Farrell and the crew marveled at how Ferrell was able to rise to the occasion – and how everything seemed to fall into place. “I said to one of the cameramen who’d been a cameraman out of New York for I think 27 years, ‘How does this rank?’ ” Farrell says. “He’s like, ‘That was the most intense day of my life.’ Especially for the camera guys. They never stopped, so it was like, on the field, running, then in the van and then in a helicopter. And you have this pressure of like, ‘I can’t miss it,’ because there’s no going back; there’s no ‘Let’s take that again.’ You just have to capture it.”

feature story By George Dickie © Zap2it Even after A&E Network canceled “Longmire,” title star Robert Taylor didn’t believe his three-season-old series was history. “I thought it was a joke,” the 52-year-old Australian actor says. “... It took me a week or so and I reconciled myself to not doing it again, but I always believed we weren’t finished. I just felt it in my bones that we weren’t done.” And his feelings were proven correct when nearly three months after its Aug. 2014 termination, Netflix picked up the hourlong drama for a fourth season, which drops with 10 episodes on Thursday, Sept. 10. The story picks up where the third-season finale left off, with Absaroka (Wyo.) County Sheriff Walt Longmire (Taylor), having found out who was behind his wife’s murder, succumbs to his darker impulses and takes off with revenge in mind. What happens next and whether he follows through are questions that are answered in the new season. “I think he feels things very deeply, especially since the death of his wife,” says Taylor, who is joined in Season 4 by fellow cast returnees Lou Diamond Phillips, Katee Sackhoff, Cassidy Freeman and Bailey Chase. “I think that kind of destroyed his universe and nothing seems to make sense anymore. And as much as a guy his age and with his background can be searching for something, he would never admit it in polite company — or impolite company, for that matter. ... I mean, he does resolve to do something about it but

ultimately that may not be the right decision.” When it comes to details on Season 4, Taylor is understandably tight-lipped lest he give away spoilers but a trailer says it will be about second chances. And for Walt, that means how he moves forward now that he thinks he’s found his wife’s killer.

“Obviously, it’s all about the writing,” Taylor says of how he connects to Walt’s moods. “... You bring your soul, or a version of your soul, with your spirit and you have to render that and deliver that, and nobody gives you any notes on that. That comes entirely from the actor.”
