I always thought SBTB could’ve benefited from a storyline where Zack’s dad was blown up and his GF was gunned down in the street by hired thugs. They could’ve gunned down Tori. Nobody would’ve missed her.

He will have to adjust to playing with a salary cap though – I think that’s why a lot of recent OSU grads have underperformed in the NFL. They’re broke.

Was thinking the same thing GZ, but they’ve got a witness saying he flat out refused. If I was part of the winning group I would propose each of them giving him 300,000 (each of their cut is 16 mil according to the article). That would give him well over a million as a good gesture but once you set that much money in front of people they usually become different people.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:13 AM
that’s true. just names written on an envelope with dollar bills inside may or may not be good enough to determine who participated, especially if they play the same numbers week to week (not sure if they did in this case)

I don’t remember a story about the NBA investigating Bobcats owner Michael Jordan interacted with members of the Duke and UNC teams during the ACC tourney. How is that different from Jay-Z and Kentucky? Locker room versus parking lot? Does MJ get a pass because he is a UNC alum – that would not excuse the Duke interaction.

There was also a story a couple of years ago where UNC violated the rules by having a bunch of UNC players in the NBA play a pick-up game with a bunch of recruits. Nothing ever happened. Roy Williams will never be punished by the NCAA. He served up Dale Brown’s head on a platter for them.

Completely forgot about that angle. I guess that would be a possibility given that in the tape you can hear Jordan promising the UNC players anything they want – assumed from Nike – if they made the Final 4.

March 31st, 2011 at 9:54 AM
As long as they keep Don, Peter, Sterling, and Tits McGee, the show would survive. It wouldn’t be nearly as good, but it would survive.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:54 AM
They could lose three ancillary characters fairly easily, and the show might actually be the better for it. Breaking Bad is the top show (critically, at least) on the network and The Walking Dead’s ratings exceed those of Mad Men. Weiner has far less of a negotiating stronghold now than he had, say, two years ago. AMC is growing and growing and, by some chance, The Killing turns out to be a hit, their position gains more strength.
I think the show could lose three regulars and cut two minutes and still be fine. It’s the product placement I’d be a bit leery of.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:54 AM
With all the drinking and smoking everyone does on that show it seems realistic to have some characters bite the dust.

The only actor I’d be fine with AMC getting rid of is January Jones. She can’t act her way out of a paper bag.

I’m nervous, since I recommended it. I tried to get through a chapter last night but was too exhausted and my head started bobbin.

Oh man, when I used to do interviews with him it was all I could do not to stare at his teeth. He’s also a surprisingly tiny man for a head football coach.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:56 AM
Listen, idiots. Just because I READ SOMETHING negative about a girl you think is hot and bring it up here doesn’t mean I’m being catty! And don’t act like you’re all a bunch of fucking free love hippies and have no problems with hairy legs and arm pits!
March 31st, 2011 at 9:56 AM
bit outrageous they would want to do that. honestly, it reminds me how the planet of the apes franchise was run into the ground by the studio, lowering production costs with each film to maximize profits with a successivly lower production value and quality each film.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:56 AM
My wife watches Desperate Housewives and I look in every now and then, and I never realized that half the cast of Mad Men has had a recurring role on that show.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:56 AM
Bobby Draper could go the route of the Family Matters daughter who just disappeared after a while…doubt anyone would notice, that kid’s been dead weight since the show’s inception
March 31st, 2011 at 9:57 AM
Didn’t you say you loved it and couldn’t put it down? It won awards so I’m giving it a shot.

“AMC reportedly wants to cut six ‘Mad Men’ characters over the next three seasons.”
Most of the actors on the show can’t be commanding outrageous salaries.. they were all (and still are) pretty much no-names. Have you seen the previews for that turd-sandwich of a movie Jon Hamm is going to be in next?
March 31st, 2011 at 9:58 AM
agree wholeheartedly. Wasn’t she nominated for an emmy of golden globe? not sure what the voters were smoking for that one.
March 31st, 2011 at 9:59 AM
I WILL TAKE ANY REASON TO LINK FELINE BASED CREATURES WHEN I AM MOCKING YOU!!!!!
March 31st, 2011 at 10:00 AM
Guys, “regulars” is just a title, after all. They could always reduce the arcs of some characters and bring them back sparingly – and cheaper – as “guest stars” like Southland did once it moved to TNT and had to cut costs. And most of those peripheral characters aren’t big enough names that they wouldn’t agree to do it. Except maybe January Jones, but that’s no big loss, and her story’s more or less been told.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:00 AM

Rosari Dawon is hot, check out that scene in Oliver Stone’s “Alexander the Great”. Wow!
That chick on the roof in USC face looks rough and thick on the bottom which explains why she’s probably up for sex on a roof.

I’ll always remember John Slattery for wanting SJP to piss on him on SATC.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:01 AM
that’s the brilliance of tv shows, and a reason why you don’t see many of the actors doing anything other than the show they are on. they’re actors with limited range who happened to have the look and shallow acting talents that fit what the creators envisioned.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Bridesmaids? Oh, I can’t wait for that. Advance buzz is through the roof and it’s from the creative force behind Freaks & Geeks. I’m IN.

No no no… that fantasy world movie that looks like a legends of Zelda rip-off. He was being interviewed for press about it and even he looked like he had no idea what was going on with the plot/story.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:03 AM
I think we would all be taken aback by first but like Dave Chappelle says here. We are all going to shrug our shoulders and proceed.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:03 AM
HA. My sister has a pink hat. She was the girly girl growing up, I was the tomboy.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:03 AM
Bert Cooper, Ken Cosgrove, the guy who’s in charge of TV, Lane Pryce. If they showed up like twice a season, people really wouldn’t miss them.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I can’t stand smelly hippy chicks with body hair. I’m not attracted to Real Rosario Dawson, I’m attracted to Movie/Photoshopped Rosario Dawson.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I disagree with this vehemently. The quality of acting on TV right now, especially on cable and pay cable, is far above what’s in probably 70 percent of features.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I’ll read it but I still am failing to see why MORE money for the show is a problem. It’s not like they’ll be running commercials for products in the middle of the show. They’ve already got Canadian Club and Lucky Strike all over the set.
The show is set in a goddamn advertising firm. If product placement affects your ability to enjoy a show, you should stop watching TV.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:04 AM
Well it could have been Gyllenhaal.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:05 AM
Yes we did. We made sure they didn’t come close to making the amount of money they expected.

March 31st, 2011 at 10:06 AM
Well it could have been Gyllenhaal.
Wasn’t he cast as Lawrence of Arabia last year? Has Hollywood become a parody of itself?
March 31st, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Haha! I have the exact same thought!
March 31st, 2011 at 10:07 AM
I think the fact that Mad Men is going to be off television for a year and a half will hurt it more than anything. March 2012?!
March 31st, 2011 at 10:07 AM
no one saw that piece of shit flick, which to me was kind of a silent protest against it.
Hoke probably smells like a combination of cheap beer and fried foods.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:07 AM
That, and when a TV character is on a show for too long, they become that character in the eyes of the fans, and it becomes uncomfortable when they see them as other people.
Will Smith and Jennifer Aniston are rare exceptions to the rule. But why do you think the Seinfeld cast hasn’t done jack crap since the show ended? Jason Alexander can’t have new roles because people think he IS George–for example.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:08 AM
I know when I was still watching One Tree Hill to get my unintentional LOL’s, their Sunkist in your face campaign made it 10x more enjoyable. Guest stars performing in concert…sponsored by Sunkist! Sophia Bush sitting outside the school…drinking a Sunkist! Mouth going over his broadcast tapes…wearing a Sunkist t-shirt!
March 31st, 2011 at 10:09 AM
I would miss Lane Pryce. I like his character.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:09 AM

“I strenuously object?” Is that how it works? Hm? “Objection.” “Overruled.” “Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object.” “Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider.”
March 31st, 2011 at 10:09 AM
Has Dennis Quaid been on any of your local radio sports stations lately?
He was on WSCR in Chicago yesterday talking about the one arm surfer chick movie he’s in.
Sounded like a good guy.

only thing good about it was the Daswon scene, (make them titties swing!!) and the battle in India with elephants.
The rest was a lopsided piece of shit.

“That’s correct-”
“You said danger, I said grave danger, you said “is there any other kind?”

“I know what I said! I don’t need to have it read back to me like I’m some kind of…”
“Then why the two orders? Colonel!?”

It’ll be interesting to see him in the Total Recall remake.

This is outdated thinking, the Sopranos was the first to succeed in spite of the layoffs and I’m chomping at the bit for the new Breaking Bad season despite them being off for 14 months…would rather they work to get it right than rush something out
March 31st, 2011 at 10:14 AM
I’m unsure why this piece keeps comparing cable television viewership and advertising rates to that of network television.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:14 AM
This is the only scene I remember from that movie.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:15 AM
I am more interested to see who is cast as the three boob lady.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:15 AM
i agree that shows are getting smarter with their primary leads, they are taking “hollywood” stars and putting them into the roles on TV. take a look at the upcoming game of thrones series. isn’t there one with robert de niro or al pacino coming to TV? Kevin Spacey on an upcoming TV Show… Steve Buschemi…
March 31st, 2011 at 10:15 AM
I’m just really excited for The Killing on Sunday.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:17 AM
AMC is good at this… re-running the entire first 3 seasons since January of Breaking Bad has given me the chance to get into the show, when I otherwise would not have done so.

Agreed. I have no idea when Curb will come back but I know that I will be renewing HBO when it does.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:19 AM
Me too. HBO had a similar show a few years ago (it might’ve been a BBC co-production, I’m fairly certain all the principles were British) that had the same basic concept. Didn’t make many ripples, but I’m optimistic.
March 31st, 2011 at 10:20 AM

Pretty sure they were filming in NYC last summer.. so hopefully soon. I miss me some Larry David.

Bryan Cranston was cast in the Ronny Cox villain role yesterday. On the one hand, I’m interested to see a less outlandish, Arnold-infused take on the PKD story. On the other, the original is so enjoyable for it’s outlandish, Arnold-infused qualities.
