Well, baseball and football have very different histories. Baseball still tries to portray itself as the sport of Joe Dimaggio; powerful men who lead through their every action and manner. That's why there are all these "unwritten rules" because a real man is supposed to know without being told. It's very John Ford.

In "Major League" Rachael Phelps wants the team to do so badly that the lack of attendance will void the lease with the city, so she can move the team to Miami.

because players and old school fans have a hard on for playing the game "the right way."

I love how they hedged their bets in the remake:

I love how "The Replacements" and "Blue Chips" both take the status quo as their moral compass. Violating NCAA rules is immoral and destroying our country; players need to stop whining about money and play the damn game.

Yeah, but they won in "Rookie of the Year." So screw 'em.

I love the ending to Bad News Bears. Trophies can be important. Cherish the ones that you worked for, disregard those that you don't.

But the jokes that comedians tell each other today frequently end up being the stuff the public laughs at tomorrow.

Do you have a little Rage in you? Would you like some?

Tell me why

Leave your pickle alone for a few days!

Xeroxing a Cannibal? How much does that caust?

Season 3 and 4 deliver in a big, big way. Season 3 especially feels like Korra is in legit danger, and not just the trumped up kind. The ensemble cast also develops their personalities so well. Except Mako. Mako is still boring at the end.

Cornbread showed up and started casting side eyes at the dying girl.

Well, you oughta know.

I have a mostly laissez faire attitude towards comedy. If that's the joke you came up with, tell the joke. I mean, if you're on stage and that's the armor you came to battle with, use it.

or the marryville brothers sketch, or the Mask, or his dog with rabies impression

There were farts like that all over the series. Wrong voice for which turtle was talking, non-sequitur moments galore, And if anyone got wet, the water would always stay in the same drip pattern as they wiped it off themselves.

Although the first few GI Joe story arcs hold up fairly well. It's decent formulaic storytelling.

I actually haven't seen it, but my girlfriend loved it.
