“Kingmeister, you don’t know how showbiz works!”

He is a ridiculous Hollyweird agent.

Sid just doesn’t understand that this is a buyer’s market. There will always be some assistant coach who will want a “chance” to prove himself. (Good luck with that at Walden. God Himself would experience difficulty producing a winner there.)

Since when did Sid represent BD??

I thought he was Boopsie’s agent—you know, the one whose career is in the toiler??

Many colleges are sports franchises that pretend to be concerned with education. Coaches make the big money.

Don’t be ridiculous! But actually…

“School is an institution built on the axiom that learning is the result of teaching. And institutional wisdom continues to accept this axiom, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary,”—Ivan Illich. We cannot expect people who live in an imaginary world (academia) for a moment to understand the real one. They have traded their freedom for a bowl of soup.

Maybe at Ohio State or Alabama or some other school where the football coach makes upwards of $10 million, hardly at Walden. BTW, does anyone know the symbol/mascot for their college teams?

Ready! Misaim!! Misdirect!!

Sid’s last name is so appropriate for him.

So … “Where does BD live now?” Never came up in conversation? He guy called him, and didn’t bother to wonder “Where is this area code?”

Failed actors become agents. They find the role more believable. :)

“Hey! I take exception to that word! I rep plenty of people outside Hollywood!”

Not that I have much concern for the Dean, but he better get his “people” on the line or he’s going to lose his shirt.

Sid is doing this without telling BD.Then he heists all the overhead.I don’t miss this character.I RECOGNIZE him,but I sure don’t miss him.

An old one at that!

Uh… Actually, he is a ridiculous Hollywood agent.

Not sure I’ve ever seen President King smile before.
