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.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
