First of all, he's addressing a crowd of Beverly Hills, silver spoon-fed, trust fund babies who have no idea what he's talking about nor could they care any less.

 

Second, it's the Teen Choice Awards... enough said.

 

Third, he couldn't hold Charlie Sheen's used condom wrapper on "Two and a Half Men."

 

He made valid points, just not to the right audience.

I actually attended two years ago with my niece who has done a few movies and the majority of the crowd are tourists and people from surrounding LA community which is made of many not so wealthy neighborhoods. Also it is being broadcast to millions of teens around the US and other countries and his points speak directly to that age group. Not sure what the issue is which it being teen choice awards, it's one of the few awards strictly chosen according to public, not a bunch of stuffy critics, so I has broad appeal.

It's held at the Gibson in Universal City, which I'm very familiar with. The "surrounding communities" include Hollywood, North Hollywood, Studio City, Sherman Oaks... among the most expensive LA communities, in other words.

 

Again, they're teenagers (not the 16-19 year olds, either; more like the 13-15 age group). "One of the few awards strictly chosen according to public..." translated means that same 13-15 age group did the voting. And the Academy Awards are voted on by the SAG, which are fellow actors, by the way.

 

Let's not forget, it's network television, which grows increasingly irrelevant with each passing season.

It was the perfect place for just such a speech. He could have been all about himself but instead took a moment to use a platform to say something positive. I prefer what he said over a celeb preaching at me about the plight of others when they are the 1%er's themselves.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
