Thanks, and you made a good point that I didn’t totally consider before either. So good to get a nice back and forth in a usualyl contentious arena of net-commenting!

I barely even like to watch NBA on ESPN anymore for fear that I’ll fall asleep in front of my TV and wake up to a sports-shouting show as my alarm clock.
Which brings me to my other (re: only) point: why the hell doesn’t NBA TV show games every night of the week?

That’s because uttering his real name opens the dimension from whence the Great Old Ones will return screaming into our world, rending the pure of heart into confetti and sucking at the marrow of all of our dreams.

Just shut it down, everybody. Kinja is done for the day. We all lost.

Or Aaron Williams

There was one series in the game where they ran a very disjointed half-court set, the clock began winding down. Valanciunas was stuck at the top of the key with Carroll and someone else behind the line, and Lowry made a move that got him an open look from 3 with about 8 seconds left. He inexplicably passed back to…

The flipside of your comment about the Warriors is that if Curry missed the rest of the playoffs and the Warriors lost, whichever team won the Finals would have the dreaded imaginary asterisk because they didn’t beat the Warriors at full strength.

Agreed, and a good work does help in promoting stars. So the point is valid that good work deserves to be recognized and paid more comparably. Heck, maybe even the best professionals who sell their losses and contribute to rising fame and exposure for the company should be paid equally or better than a star who can’t…

Come on man, don’t be so critical. Maybe he was eating carrot sticks.

“And while I’m at it, blackface was just good clean fun—well maybe not for the performers themselves, what wit hthe makeup smudging. When I remember Al Jolson singing out ‘Mammmmmmmy,” it was no different than the songs sung with such soul—spirit, even—by the black housekeepers and gardeners who were contractually and…

What I see is:

It’s just dripping with the sentiment of “You know what I’m talking about (wink, nudge). A simpler time when Ty Cobb could still be a hero and certain people knew their place in society.”

Jonathan Papelbon now 9/11 in save chances.

Neither are fictional movies or television shows. Shocked me too, but then I got to 1st grade. I still went on to a healthy life of enjoying things.

So are movies. Chew on that for a while.

I’m pretty sure roid monkey is what wrote the terrible logic in his complete misunderstanding of entertainment capitalism.

I think their counter-argument would be “you aren’t popular, so you don’t draw as much as the people who ostensibly ARE better than you.” Not necessarily that he is easily replaceable as a mid-level, but that the people above him are less replaceable.

Right or wrong, that’s just the breaks sometimes.

And likewise, an A-list actor cannot complete filming a scene without delivering lines to a few co-stars and some extras. So they all deserve the same salary since the outcome of the movie is predetermined and talent level and fan appeal have nothing to do with the success of the overall product.
