I wasn't debating producer vs director though, I was just saying that shows can have directors who are able to put their personal stamp on it, and have their episodes stand out from the rest.

While the showrunner still has lots of control, Doctor Who is perfect for letting directors do their own thing. They let writers do it, why not let the director as well. It is a show that can switch from comedy to drama and to horror, episode to episode. While also dealing with alien worlds and time travel. Really,…

For some shows that is not true. Breaking Bad is great in that it lets its directors do their own thing for episodes. The best example would probably be Michelle MacLaren, who directed the most visually striking episode of the series in "4 Days Out", but also directed the most suspenseful(probably one of the most…

No. When the Mavs called to see about Rondo the only thing the Celtics wanted was Dirk. The Celtics while trying to clear cap space(Rondo wouldn't even be that much cap space as compared to other stars, since he signed to a very friendly extension for them a few years back)they do want to get something of quality when…

I don't think Bill Simmons is trying to be part of the story. Bill didn't come out and challenge Doc or anything. Doc Rivers was just asked a question by a person other than Bill Simmons, about what Simmons said(which was just strange in the first place). Then Bill Simmons just responded to Doc "not calling" him an…

Not recently, he only wanted the Celtics to fire Doc when he/the celtics sucked. Ever since they turned around things Bill has actually loved Doc.... till now.

To start off it has to be Pete Rozelle of course, and then................ that's it.

They would rather have Noel, big guy, injured, perfect fit for them.

I actually like Simmons when it comes to basketball, but his Lebron going back to Cleveland talk is about as stupid as that play in tourney for the 8 seed playoff format.

He only tweeted about this AFTER Hernandez(allegedly) murdered someone, if Hernandez didn't murder someone then Peter King wouldn't of brought it up. He is clearly implying that teams who passed on him and this murder are connected, because he might be some super bad apple. But I'm sure if this was a DUI and not a…

But to say that teams didn't draft him because he would end up doing something like THIS is stupid though. It is acting like as if NFL teams who didn't draft him somehow had special powers that were able to foresee Hernandez killing someone, that is what Peter King is getting at basically. Which is beyond stupid,…

No, I think it is relevant. Especially since most of the "character issues" NFL scouts talk up is just small shit like smoking weed! And this is Peter King we are talking about, not a rational NFL scout/analyst. If this was a DUI charge or a smaller crime, it would be groan worthy but not all that stupid, but the fact…

Uggh, you missed the point too. I only brought up the character issues because that is what caused Hernandez to fall, not because other teams thought he could end up killing someone. There is a huge difference between character issues and MURDER, if you murder someone you are a sociopath. You do get that I'm saying…

You do realize I'm not equating what Mike(who I don't actually hate like everyone else) and Hernandez did? It is just that Hernandez had "character issues" and now people are looking at shit in hindsight to prove some non existent point about him being drafted so low. I was just using the other high profile criminal…

Yet OJ Simpson and Michael Vick were number 1 overall, and Ray Lewis was 26th.

So you are saying that when someone uses a Racial slur in a negative connotation that isn't trying to discriminate against someone?

You really are an idiot. What I'm saying is that the white people I'm talking about are not discriminated enough against to truly get offended by it, it is like when people hear the word fuck accidentally during a live broadcast and get offended because of it. It is outrage basically over nothing. When a white…

You are a fucking idiot. You are trying to twist my words to make me sound racist, just because you don't agree with me saying that white people really shouldn't be offended by cracker or honkey. I'm not saying europeans don't get treated badly, I'm talking about european descended americans, most notably ones that…

I never said it was fine calling an Italian a guinea. It isn't, Italians unlike normal white European descended people actually do get discriminated against, and it isn't fair. I was just meaning regular white people slurs like Cracker and Honkey, not guinea, because that doesn't apply to me.

I know what it means, but still it is cracker, it also means a food item that isn't even intimidating. Come on, I can't be offended if I'm called that. If I was ever actually called honkey though, I think I would end up laughing.
