Yeah, you might describe it as "phony", sure, especially if the film (I'm not going to watch it, because of the scientifically proven formula: Disney + Sports = Fucking Worthless Waste of Time, and also because I don't need to pay to be reminded that my favorite team since childhood ignored scouting in places like…

Fuck. Here I was, taking heart in a man being brave enough to be a true trailblazer, to forge his own path (which, on some level, has to be somewhat terrifying), and now he's been co-op'ed by someone who is nothing more than a fluffer to the stars. All of that still stands, but he stands to gain nothing by this…

"This man speaks for all of us, for he is.....(dramatic pause).....THE DEFENDER OF THE BRAND!"—Humorless sensitive penisbots

"People just don't understand. I'm not a ace pitcher, I'm a infielder who pitches every now and then. Not a prospect ruining there career"

"My bad if I was not clear.LBJ never said anything about boycotting. It actually was 'wainscotting', which is something completely different. As we all know. The bottom line is that our commissioner, team, owners, fans, players, and the world all agree that there is no place for panelling in our league."

"Let's not be so quick to judge this 'kafala' system. Seems to me to work just fine."—Jefferson Davis

Good thing Nana's white, or else Nawrocki would REALLY have a problem with her. As it is, he just wrote "Good hustle, always trying. Size and effort make up for issues catching treats."

eh, it's not that big of a deal. Rumor is that this is what he says to everyone on New Years Eve every single year. People are used to it.

"Look! I was THERE, man!"—him

Oh, wait...here it is; the detail left off the tweet: "Turner is hereby allowed access to the unlimited snacks allowed all players under NCAA guidelines. Housing is still denied."

"Don't cry for me; I'm already dead"

Greg Hardy; makin' it rain...bullets.

Very cool!! Looking forward to seeing Carrell in a serious role, Jones in a role where he is not "Samuel Gerard", and Pearce in a quality role in a non-blockbuster.

I've read it, thought about it, picked at it, and still have trouble finding the thread of narrative. In that case, I'm picking up a bit of social networking outrage, or a case of a person who considers himself a 'professional' writer/blogger getting pissy about all these (air quotes) 'people' having access to…

"Oh my.....oh my GAWD! He's.....he's sitting RIGHT NEXT TO MEEEEEEE! Should I say something? Introduce myself? He has that really cool handshake he does....but I can never remember how it goes! He'd probably hate me! C'mon, c'mon....DO something!! It's getting weird now...."

I was going to let this one pass by, but then I saw where the Coen's EP'ed it, so I gave it a shot. Glad I did. Freeman's excellent, as is BBT.

I can imagine, yeah. Does everybody he meets for the first time automatically assume that he plays basketball? I mean, even if he does, tall people are the only ones that have to put up with an assumed role like that.

Frankly, I'm amazed that the kid hasn't ripped somebody's face off yet, with all the crap he must have to put up with....

Pierce was using gamesmanship not seen since the French army, circa 1940.

So the whole thing was basically "I know you are but what am I?"? Sounds incredibly insightful, and by 'incredibly', I mean 'not at all'.
