Actually, they are probably more intelligent because they grew up with less lead in their environments.

They deal with lots of unions now. They also deal with, well not athletes, but plenty of primadonna employees whether with agents, lawyers, and associated weasels.

I just don’t see this adding much to either the quantity or complexity of what your average DIV1 school already is. These schools are alreay among the most…

Do people really not get why Colleges don’t want to pay athletes? They have no interest in running professional sports leagues, or dealing with all the employment related bullshit that comes with it. And they shouldn’t.

And let’s be clear. The BEST anyone can say in Schiano’s shoes is that they worked side-by-side with a pedophile for (what 7?) years and didn’t notice anything amiss.

“Pay me millions to be a leader” 

Honest question, but how rare is this really? We hear about the various high profile screwings, and they are outrageous, but how often do student athletes quietly transfer and we never hear about it because they are nobodies or on no-name schools or playing less than headline sports?

That’s Idris Elba and Dominic West who just can’t hold a Baltimore accent for more than 5 lines. They came back for the game.

It’s all about respecting their AUTHORTAH!

The oldest contradiction in school punishment. “What? You don’t want to be at school. Why we’ll suspend you from school! Not being able to come to school will certainly teach you to skip school.”

I answer the phone with a chirpy, “Shello.” Just like they did on Sigmund and the Sea Monster.

He watched Moonraker last night. You can bet on it.

I’d like some of the art work for my walls, but I already have Yes album covers.

The only question in my mind is which peppy 70's or 80's pop tuned will be covered by some misery wallowing emo chick crooning slowly in the background. Boogie Wonderland? Mr. Blue Sky? Blister in the Sun? Oh, I know, Should I Stay or Should I Go, in order to highlight the essence of being lost in a hostile universe…

But what is the actual percentage of NCAA athletes who get multi-year scholarships. And I mean ALL athletes, not just mens basketball and football? Because a woman’s volleyball player who gets cut to make room for a new coach’s pet project is just as screwed.

Citation please. The Junior Colleges around the DIV1 school at which I teach is loaded with players who were cast aside to make room for younger, more promising players, they didn’t fit a new coach’s style, or for no expressed reason at all. And since they didn’t get an education while here, they have to settle for a…

Thanks for the lecture. I guess you got your money’s worth on those 6 credit of film studies.

Pick my nits any day!

They already started on a Singing in the Rain Broadway show. (it’s currently not happening, but if it ever is, they’ll eventually film that.)

I wonder if anyone thought about standing up and shouting, “I’ve had it with all the mother fucking vomit, on this mother fucking plane.”

A trope, perhaps. But not nearly as trite and worn out as the “Cast a white man unless the story specifically calls for someone else” trope that existed in American cinema for a 100 years.

Are there any “untouchable masterpieces?”
