I will once again go back to this wonderful episode of @TheLionsEdge I did with Christian, where I think he really plainly and eloquently explains more about how his job works.

Iman Shumpert says LeBron James still hoops like a curious 17 year old cuz he got paid before the league could "break" the creativity out of him
"They say you act exactly how you act when they handed you money. You could tell LeBron got paid at 17"
"It's the reason that he that cold cuz he think like a child"
"Before you get to college and they break you, where it's like that creative mindset the coach explain it to you and then you stop even questioning the coach"
"Bron went at 17 while he was still curious and got to navigate through that now. He ain't get to keep one coach. That's how he got there"
🚨BREAKING: ABDUL CARTER AGAIN WENT OFF ON JAXSON DART FOR INTRODUCING DONALD TRUMP.
“Some things are bigger than football. This is one of those things”
“If he chooses to align with Trump, it’s my responsibility to show the world that I stand against it”
Michael B. Jordan’s advice for anyone feeling stuck in life
“When you’re feeling the most trapped and down and nothing can go right, those are the moments that define you. People quit right before they get what they’ve always wanted”
“Having the name Michael Jordan, knowing there was another Michael Jordan who was the best ever got me teased and picked on. For a moment, it made me not want to play sports but then I was like nah, I’m going to compete. It gave me a healthy chip”
“For the people who are listening who feel like they can’t change their circumstances, just hold on. Just endure. Look at things differently. Challenge yourself to see the glass half full”
“Find something that resonates with you, find your intuition within that thing and be obsessed about it”
That time a THE PRICE IS RIGHT contestant (Alene Glover) blacked out after winning the Showcase, so the show just ran the credits while they tried to revive her lol (1976)
Disney paid a 13-year-old $15,000 an episode while selling $100 million in merchandise with her face on it. She never saw a dollar of the merch money.
Hilary Duff made $975,000 total for 65 episodes of Lizzie McGuire. The show's dolls, sleeping bags, notebooks, and Kohl's apparel line generated over $100 million in revenue for Disney. Her cut of that: reportedly zero. The movie grossed $55.5 million worldwide. She got $1 million.
Then Disney tried to lock her in. They offered a primetime ABC spinoff at $35,000 per episode and a sequel for $4 million plus 4% of gross. When her mother pushed for better terms, Disney gave them 24 hours to accept and then pulled the entire deal.
Her mom's quote: "Disney thought they'd be able to bully us into accepting whatever offer they wanted to make, and they couldn't. We walked away from a sequel. They walked away from a franchise."
She was 16. Most child stars who walk away from their franchise at 16 don't come back. The list of early-2000s Disney kids who maintained stable careers, stable finances, and stable public lives is brutally short.
Duff did seven seasons of Younger. Wrote novels. Raised three kids. Stayed out of tabloids for a decade. Then in late 2025, she dropped a comeback single. Her "Small Rooms, Big Nerves" warm-up shows sold out instantly, marking her first headline concerts in over a decade.
The Lucky Me Tour starts June 2026. Seven countries. 47 North American cities. Madison Square Garden. Red Rocks. The O2 in London. She added second nights in LA, New York, Toronto, and London because the first dates sold out too fast. Her husband produced the album.
The math that sticks: Disney made $100 million off a teenager and paid her less than $2 million total. Twenty-five years later she's headlining MSG and they're still selling Lizzie McGuire reruns.
That hallway walk on JHud's set is 25 years of receipts arriving at once.
THE TENNESSEE #TITANS SCHEDULE RELEASE VIDEO IS GOLD.
THEY WALKED AROUND NASHVILLE FINDING PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE THEIR OPPONENTS PLAYERS AND COACHES TO ANNOUNCE THEIR SCHEDULE.
THIS IS EXTREMELY FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣
Mike Epps tells a story about the feds kicking down his Puerto Rican dealer’s door while he was buying coke, saying they had him running through tunnels trying to escape 🤣😂
"This way papi!"
"You run through a door thinking it’s the back door and you’re still in the building."
Jalen Hurts and new #Eagles OC Sean Mannion have “hit it off” and Hurts is as “open as he’s ever been” to playing more under center and more play-action, per @JFowlerESPN.
