So, after not passing last year, ya boy FINALLY PASSED THE BAR. GOD IS GREAT 🙌🏾😤⚖️

Oh brother, give it a REST. The lawsuit is about Not Like Us, period. Nice attempt to deflect though.

@WadePlem @migos_C0mf0rt72 @L9dino Drake got beat man, that’s just what it is. lol. And the idea that being #1 in the game equates with having the most streams isn’t what hip hop is about.

@migos_C0mf0rt72 @L9dino Literally everyone acted like Kendrick killed Drake just to end up still under Drake like he always was. Stay on that side lol

Hilarious watching everyone who called Drake a culture vulture, claimed he wasn't hip hop or "Not like us" hopping on the bandwagon before he completely smokes the entire field tonight lol

that nigga said niggas hating cause he’s Jewish 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Some good bars on here. Especially the blasphemy angle at Dot. But fam, I do not want to hear Drake saying anything related to Kendrick in the year of our Lord 2026. It’s been two years brother, that time has passed. And…YOU SUED.

@Geraldini93 Agreed on all of that. Plus we needed that “You are weak” line at least once in the movie lol

@JBlake_ Movie was great. But the little kid in me didn’t want to see him struggling or needing an amulet. Man shoulder charge these people, laugh at them for being weak and

Facts. Shao looked and sounded great but was weak, overutilized, and received unnecessary plot armor. That’s my main problem with the film.

#MortalKombat2 was a fun ride from start to finish. As a die-hard fan, this is exactly what I wanted to see. The writing, acting, and fight choreography leveled up significantly from the first film. There were a few plot points I wasn’t a fan of, but the future is bright. 👊🏾🙏🏾

@AMCTheatres Tell me why you cancelled the IMAX showings for #MortalKomatII at Dallas NorthPark and didn’t send one email to notify people who paid for the showing. Ridiculous.

@heitner Got it, thanks again. I worked on House for a few years but these tips on negotiating rev-share are needed for everyone in the space. Would love to connect further 👍🏾

@JBlake_ Yes. I'll give another example. I don't want an accusation of crime to suffice. Best case, the bar is conviction. Even better, felonies and not misdemeanors.

When I negotiate revenue-sharing agreements with schools, I insist that full payment is due to players if they remain on the roster through the conclusion of the season and any postseason participation, even if they enter the transfer portal or otherwise depart from the program thereafter. That includes declaring for the draft. This should be non-negotiable. I generally oppose liquidated damage clauses, as they tend to look like unenforceable penalties rather than a reasonable estimate of anticipated harm. I'm watching Cincinnati v. Sorsby closely to see how the federal court rules on this specific issue. I will almost always redline "sole discretion" language and, at a minimum, convert it into "reasonable discretion." For morals clauses, I like to add that the harm must be substantial and material. I'm sharing this because I want to not only empower my clients, but all athletes and their representatives. Redlining is only part of the process. Being a proficient negotiator and leveraging established, trusted relationships is also very important in the process.

@Todd_Garner If we’ve learned anything from Michael, it’s that critics are losing influence and fans don’t care about their opinions. It’s all about what the fans want and care about. And I’ve seen nothing but fan excitement. Seeing it tomorrow night and can’t wait 🙏🏾🙌🏾

@Todd_Garner Love the sound of that. Did any of the OG 1995 cast come to any of the premieres so far?

I think we may have a couple that will give it a run for its money…

@Dan_Furman The hearing on May 27th doesn’t have anything to do with the $20.5M cap. It is only about the CSC’s evaluation of third-party deals.

First — the salary cap may be legally dead. ⚖️ The attorneys who BUILT the House settlement just went back to a federal judge and asked him to strip the College Sports Commission of its power to enforce the $20.5M cap on NIL deals. A hearing is set for May 27. The people who created the rules are now trying to blow them up. Let that sink in. 💥

College sports had the most important week in its history this week. Most fans completely missed it. Here's everything that actually happened and what it means for the future 🧵👇

@WinterSportsLaw Agreed. Another tough spot for the NCAA but I think there’s a good chance they can defend the rule if challenged.

@JBlake_ That’s always the first approach. But doesn’t always play out that way.

Are we going to see some more NCAA rules challenged?

Big development. As someone who worked with Jeffrey for 5 years, he’s the best, period. But I don’t see a path back to eligibility for Sorsby. Let’s see.

@ryanpmulvaney Fair point. Schools have to be smarter in drafting LD clauses. Nonetheless, contracts are entered into for a reason and can’t be flouted just because the portal exists. Interesting to see what happens next.

A monetary penalty indeed, and effectively a noncompete since UC would waive the liquidated damages but only if Brendan entered (and stayed in the) NFL draft. College athletes should absolutely redline LD provisions in draft rev share agreements. There are other ways to handle the concerns of schools. College athletes should not be penalized for availing themselves of their express rights afforded to them by the NCAA.

all credit goes to God for everything.

Nebraska's CSC arbitration is scheduled for today. Per settlement terms, the arbitrator must rule within five days. A thread on the issue:

This made my day.
