Mayo Needs Maye To Work (Sports)

            It wasn’t long ago that Jerod Mayo, the first new coach in New England in over 20 years, was bathing in the shower of Gatorade after his first shock win over the Bengals in week one. Flashforward a few weeks and there is a report or two that Mayo may already be facing a mutiny in that same locker room. The NFL is not just a what have you done for me lately business with the fans it’s also the case for the players and especially the owners. And well Mayo has lost 4 straight, including an embarrassment on primetime against the rival Jets. The Patriots haven’t exactly been getting blown out in fact a few plays here and a few plays there they might even have a chance to be near the top of their division. This is great in a fantasy land but that is not where we live, we live in the real world and in the real world the Pats are dead last. So what’s wrong, the defense seems to be serviceable and even good sometimes and the special teams are unquestionably better than last year. De

Ranking the Roy Kids by Who Should Have Been the Succesor (Tv)

    Succession is one of the most nuanced and quite frankly fun shows to come out in the last 20 years. Now that it has been in the rearview mirror for over a year let’s rank the 4 Roy kids based on which should have been the successor by series end. Yes, Connor gets to be on this list too. So let’s rank the back stabbing, wisecracking, power hungry kids we have all grown to hate to love over the years. Without further ado the Quad Culture Succession hierarchy we hope Logan Roy would have loved but probably wouldn’t have. 4: Connor Roy Despite his potential 1% had he stayed in the presidential race Connor is the least cut throat and has the least knowledge of the business. In a lot of the ways he is the least like his father or pop as he calls him and while in most cases this is a good thing in the case of the business Connor is thoroughly behind his three half siblings. Also the arranged marriage with a prostitute just is not a good look for the CEO of a major media company, right? 

A Sam Darnold Renaissance (Sports)

                    Sam Darnold is one of those Quarterbacks. The ones who seemed primed with the endless talent to resurrect a franchise only to fail and be relegated to the island of misfit quarterbacks. Lately however thanks to sustained success from guys like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield this island does not have to be the final destination. Yet still even the biggest of Darnold’s supporters likely would have told you he was destined for a career as a journeyman backup more so that leading man for another franchise. The NFL rarely gives second chances and this would be Darnolds third. Yet Darnold and his Vikings sit alone 3-0 atop the NFC North, Darnold’s great play is a big reason for that. This may be early season luck or a renaissance, either way it brings about an interesting conversation about Darnold and young quarterbacks in general.  USC has been something of a quarterback factory over the past couple decades whether it’s Palmer, Lienhart, or Sanchez. Darnold is simply the

Movie Theaters Haven't Lost There Way, We Have (Movies)

           If you keep up to date with modern big business speak you may have just heard the term survive till 2025. This is an indication of a business in a bit of a panic with the slim hope of an optimistic future. The business is the movies, more specifically the business is movie theaters. Yes they still exist all around you and they are at war. The war isn’t being fought in the streets, it's being fought on picket lines and against your very home entertainment system. The one you say sounds just as good as the movie theater. Before you worry this is not an article of financial numbers, this is an article undeniably of feeling. Because that’s what movie houses are a place of feelings, numbers would just get in the way. To understand why movies find themselves in such turmoil it might be more important first to understand why the consumer has turned away from the stalwart of entertainment. Firstly there is simply an easier option, whether it’s netflix or paramount plus the opp
