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.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
