Untitled Batman Reboot (2015) →
This news was apparently announced early last year, but I just heard this for the first time. They’re going to start recycling comic characters on a yearly basis. Can’t wait for the reboots of Harry Potter and Twilight, either.

If Entourage was about what a bunch of duders would do with a ton of money, I feel like Colbert’s life is what a really intelligent, political junkie would do with unlimited resources.

Paying College Athletes
I’m probably preaching to the choir, but here are two reads worthy of your attention on paying college athletes (Get the title? See how I worked it in there? Yep. (Get how this is a reference to the other day at Bua? Shut up, Ben, you weren’t there.))
I strongly, strongly, strongly recommend this first one from The Atlantic.

Miami Marlins
I was asked to write an article for the Huffington Post’s sports business/marketing section (random), but for some reason (maybe the article sucks?) it will most likely never be posted. Because _amb is as prestigious and widely read, i’m posting it below. maybe you’ll learn something about the marlins’ rebrand:
Despite winning two World Series championships in its...

Giant LEGO Man Appears On Florida Beach →
Apparently a man was out walking on the beach near lovely Siesta Key in Florida, when he came across “something” laying in the surf a ways away. He went to investigate, and what do you know — it was a giant LEGO man. On its torso was a message, reading “No Real Than You Are.” Yeah, we don’t get it either.
