There are too many characters…

Allen Iverson Was NOT Drunk During His 2002 “Practice” Rant

“Drunk” is a dangerous word. The term is defined as being affected by alcohol to the extent of losing control of one’s faculties or behavior. It is a dangerous word, because it is not quantifiable. What qualifies as “drunk”? 1 drink, 2 drinks, 1 shot, 2 shots? Without being quantifiable, labeling someone as drunk is really just a matter of opinion. Sometimes that opinion is obvious and correct…

Lateral Drop’s 2015 NBA First Round Mock Draft

I hate mock drafts. I think they are silly and pointless. Most experts and analysts only ever end up getting a few selections right. If one player is selected out of positon on someone’s mock draft, the entire write up is ruined. Mock drafts are also tough, because free agency, trades, and re-signings have to be taken into account. The truth is that every NBA team has multiple players on their…

Does Hollywood Have A Marketing Problem?

This is a rant, so keep in mind that I am going to be a bit facetious, hyperbolic, and melodramatic.

This past weekend, Pitch Perfect 2 made an estimated $70 million in its opening weekend at the box office. Mad Max: Fury Road, which also debuted this weekend, only made an estimated $44 million at the box office. How does that happen? (I know how it happened, but remember this is a rant) Pitch…
