If you've never seen "Inside the Actor's Studio" with Chapelle you should Google it and watch it... If you have an hour. He talks about why he walked away from the money. If I remember correctly it had a lot to do with the pressure of continuing on the level that his comedy was on. He pretty much broke down from it.

It was fantastic. He had a cigarette the whole time. He's a great interview. There's another when he interviewed James Lipton

I think I've watched pretty much every Chappelle youtube video that is out there, lol.  He's not only my favorite comedian of all-time, but he's also one of my favorite entertainers of all-time.  I relate to him a lot, and he's really, really smart...  wise beyond his years.  If you haven't already, look up the story about when he told his dad that he was going to become a comedian...  It's one of those things that make you re-evaluate your perspective on things (if you hadn't already).

 

I hope he does find a way back onto TV.  I've watched gigs he's done since he left the show and he's never missed a beat, nor would I expect him to.  Perhaps everything is falling in line for something to happen...  For those of you that don't know, his longtime best friend and writing buddy Neal Brennan (who was the other guy behind Chappelle Show) just had a standup special on Comedy Central within the last few months.  It was really hilarious...  Anyway, when Dave left the show, they apparently weren't talking and had a sort of falling out afterwards.  But in recent interviews, Neal said they have actually started to patch things up and talk regularly again now.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
