A vampire orders a cup of hot water at a cafe. The barista prepares it and says "I thought you guys only drink blood?". The vampire produces a used tampon and says "I'm making tea."
I won't pretend to know the industry well enough to offer my opinion on the studios' specific role in the process.
My biggest beef with Hollywood and the studios is just the incessant pre-packaging. Oh boy, Jim Carrey making silly faces! Kevin James is a goofball, yaaayyy! Now watch Liam Neeson kick peoples' asses.
And as much as I love most of the superhero movies, it's becoming rarer and rarer to see a hit movie that doesn't involve a secure pre-sold source material.
Votto will pick it up eventually. I got Kemp #2...a certain .190 hitter for the Angels went #1

To be fair, in terms of pre-season predictions Bleacher Report knows about as much as any "legit" source...aka nothing.
I'll wait to see how the first several weeks play out before prognosticating.
Completely unfair characterization of Marshawn. He did his share of foolish things on the field, but to suggest that he wasn't a team player is off base.
There was a great stand-up bit (I forget by whom) where he claims he can judge the intelligence of the US each year by how many people are killed by trains. "It's not like they can come and get ya!"
