I'm sorry, is Ice Cube in Beauty Shop? Because that's the only way that analogy would hold any water. Stallone
made Rocky popular so if he made a new one, then it might sell. You're right about that part. But Queen Latifah did not
make the Barber Shop movies (She wasn't even really a main character.) So the analogy is flawed.
The fact that it's a spinoff of a popular movie doesn't mean anything. Daredevil opened to $40 million it's first weekend. It's spinoff, Elektra, opened to $12. (Despite the fact that comic book movies were and are wildly popular at the moment kinda like Diary of a Mad Black Woman is right now. Hmm...)
Anyways, we shall see what happens. And when I'm right, I will be back to gloat. ;)
P.S. There is no doubt that Randy Moss is one of the best receivers in the NFL, but he also brings a LOT of negative baggage to a team (And a hefty price tag.) Whether it's walking off the field with time on the clock, walking off the line of scrimmage when the play isn't coming to him, mooning the Green Bay fans (That was awesome!) or pushing a parking cop around Minneapolis with the front of his car, he is a problem. The Vikings are going to be better off without him.
As far as the Packers... Favre's pill-popping ass has another year (two) at best. Ahman Green may have been better than any running backs on the Vikes at the high point of his career, but he is injury prone and aging now. The Vikes have good
young backs that would be on the verge of becoming superstars if we could just get rid of
our injury prone guy, Michael Bennett. Mewelde Moore is awesome and he's only in his second year. Watching him carry is like watching a young Barry Sanders. And Onterrio Smith is like greased lightning when he gets a hole. The problem is that we have a total dumbass for a coach and he fails to see that he should have got rid of Bennett too while he was cleaning house.
Our defense has already improved by about 100% in the off-season. I'm just looking for us to pick up 1 more receiver this season. (We've got Oakland's #1 draft pick now so maybe we'll draft one.)
P.S. When I say it's "our year", don't take it too seriously. I am a die-hard fan and I say that every year no matter how we are looking.
P.S.S. Hating the Packers is in my blood, don't take offense.
