I love CinemaSins, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was the closest thing to capture the tone of the comics and really, behind the 1989 Batman film, was the 2nd "dark, gritty" comic movie I ever watched. There were comedic moments, but nowhere near the amount

You consider The Donnas to be indie?

Can you think of a better way to increase your marketing potential than by forcing the best players (who would otherwise be turning pro) to play in your league? If so, you should probably be making nine figures somewhere.

Leo Messi had a professional soccer contract at the age of 11. He makes around $70,000,000.00 per year, or just short of $195k a day...nor does he have a degree.

How's your (and sadly my) college degree working out???

It's an old American tradition to want fairness for oneself while shitting on someone else.

Yes?

Because basketball players, like all professional athletes, are entertainers. It'd be like requiring Metallica get a degree in music theory before they're allowed to sell records.

"Want bigotry? Just water it!"

Because the reality is that these programs don't offer degrees in playing basketball. NBA teams were more than willing to draft players out of high school, so why pretend that a bullshit African American Studies degree from North Carolina is in anyway connected to playing basketball?

But why would we? There's no reason to force a college education on a basketball player.

In football, I agree with the age requirement whole-heartedly given how physical it is. In basketball, though, it is just absurd. I don't like one and dones either...but let's get real. How many players each year are true one-and-done's—as in guys who actually would have been drafted straight out of high school?

You don't think the NCAA would be helped by having two years of Parker and Wiggins play for free instead of one? You don't think it would have helped them to have Lebron play at Ohio for a year or two instead of jumping pro?

I hope more players do this. The NBA's age-restriction rule (which they're trying to up to two years / age 20) is absurd. It has nothing to do with wanting players to be "ready" and everything to do with the NBA wanting to get two years of free marketing as the guys build up their names in the NCAA.

This is absofuckinglutely perfect. Plus, a guy got butthurt about a football game that happened months ago.

"Whoa, that's Marshawn Lynch"

Trade offers for Cliff Lee? He'll pass.

After a smell like that, it's no surprise to hear that he might be dealt.

Reporter: Jesus, you fucking stink dude!

Well, he's certainly drawn their interest with his flatulence, but the Rockies won't trade for Lee until they know he can completely shit the bed.

I don't know why the scouts are so down on him right now, obviously he can still throw gas.
