Do you think Z can challenge the Jumpman?Just FYI, CAA is doing all the real leg work in terms of Roc Nation's sports agency. Jay-Z is just the face. While he may technically be an agent, he's not THE agent. So this is nothing like Master P's situation, as he tried to do it himself. Jay-Z is simply using his name/influence to lure the big names, much like Michael Jordan did with Brand Jordan (Derek Jeter, Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, etc.)
They're not competingDo you think Z can challenge the Jumpman?
I understand that. I never make myself clear my fault. Do you think Jay Z can achieve more notoriety than Jordan. I remember at one point Jordan was second only to Mickey Mouse when it came to world wide fame.They're not competing
Zero chance.Do you think Jay Z can achieve more notoriety than Jordan.
That is I what I thought but it seems like Jay Z can touch anything and turn it gold.Zero chance.
You might have a long wait. :tongue:I'm waiting for Mrs. Catfish twerking Video.
I doubt very seriously that any athlete or entertainer ever reaches Jordan's level on pop culture. The only one that had any chance at doing it was Tiger Woods. But social media & a 24 hour news cycle have ruined that for him. All Tiger's guilty of is being a flawed man. And Michael, by comparison, would make Tiger look like the 40 year old virgin. Likewise for Arnold Palmer. But during their time, all they had to worry about was performing in their respective arenas and the sports journalists would make them immortal. These days, instead of looking for what's good about the athlete, when an athlete is on the verge of becoming an all-time great, journalists and fans alike first want to know what he/she has done wrong (Bonds, A-Rod, Shawn Merriman, Lance Armstrong, Tiger, and most recently Ryan Braun). Heck, you've heard rumblings from other fan bases making ridiculous accusations that our guys are using steroids. So that's where we are now.I understand that. I never make myself clear my fault.

Yeah, they are going to change the game big time. Clowney'***** was perfect. That's how you teach to hit. . I hope they don't mess up this season. The rule is for the obvious hit.In other Clowney news...the man in charge of ACC officiating said today that Clowney wold be ejected for the hit on the Michigan RB if it happened this year.
Sigh,.. we're in for a long and controversial season in regard to this new hit rule.
Yah, but he's not a pop-musician or an all-everything athlete. No doubt he's incredibly smart, talented, and savvy, but there's almost nothing he can do to be someone the average 60-year-old knows, for example.That is I what I thought but it seems like Jay Z can touch anything and turn it gold.
I'm a HUGE proponent of player safety, but that's ridiculous.In other Clowney news...the man in charge of ACC officiating said today that Clowney wold be ejected for the hit on the Michigan RB if it happened this year.
If anything, Lance was coddled by the media for well over a decade. There were several witnesses, fellow riders and a few journalists who always said the same thing - Lance was doping. Many more in the media certainly knew it was true, yet didn't dare report it because Lance sold a lot of ad space and helped their careers. Lance publicly defamed several riders, employees and former friends who spoke against him or wouldn't lie for him. He filed suit in order to commit perjury, defaming anyone who opposed him. I wish the media had done their job with respect to Lance. It might have saved the careers of many innocent people, as well as millions of dollars in judgments/legal fees spent defending his false and perjurious chargers.I doubt very seriously that any athlete or entertainer ever reaches Jordan's level on pop culture.

Every great rider in that era was doping. All of them. Lance just did it better. His mistake was in the attitude that he took with those running the sport. If he had sucked up to them as they wished, he would still be viewed as the greatest cyclist in history. His attitude made him a target, not his doping.If anything, Lance was coddled by the media for well over a decade.

Jay-Z's first signee Robinson Cano got the ball rolling and word is he is after LeBron now.Just FYI, CAA is doing all the real leg work in terms of Roc Nation's sports agency. Jay-Z is just the face.

I'd agree every one of the top riders the years Lance won was doping. In order to be at the top you had to there is no question. However, what Lance did is a great deal more than having an attitude. He literally destroyed the careers of anyone who crossed him. He earned around $100 million by doing so - also by using his cancer foundation as a marketing tool, eliciting sympathy and showing false outrage at anyone questioning him. I don't think anyone would dispute he was the best rider of his era and possibly of all time, but my point is that had the media wanted to follow up and write the stories that were out there, maybe several of his innocent victims (who did nothing other than tell the truth) would not have suffered to the extent they did.Every great rider in that era was doping.

The official is giving a warning signal...."Don't hit our ACC players too hard when you play North Carolina and Clemson." At SEC Media days when Clowney said he could see fear in the eyes of some opposing quarterbacks...well, apparently there is fear in the entire ACC.In other Clowney news...the man in charge of ACC officiating said today that Clowney wold be ejected for the hit on the Michigan RB if it happened this year.

With all of these athletes except for Tiger it's pretty much been proven they took PEDs. That's a pretty big issue to ignore if you want to talk about how "great" they are. It's kind of like talking about how "great" a day trader is but ignoring the fact he was inside trading.These days, instead of looking for what's good about the athlete, when an athlete is on the verge of becoming an all-time great, journalists and fans alike first want to know what he/she has done wrong (Bonds, A-Rod, Shawn Merriman, Lance Armstrong, Tiger, and most recently Ryan Braun).
