...tensions about blocking that were present within the group erupted into a rage in Annenberg. Whereupon Tyler hurled a tray at James and Jim yelled out, ‘Fuck you!’ This shouting match persisted all the way back to Weld where James, a big scary jock, picked up the spindly Tyler, with his little feet dangling, and threatened to punch him. But Tyler only responded with ‘I’ll sue you, I’ll sue you!’ We knew then that we had to get rid of this...
...time Survivor ends, you know its players better than you know Law & Order's Detective Briscoe after 11 years. Likewise, the WB's High School Reunion, which brings together classmates after 10 years, is really asking whether you're doomed to live out your high school role--"the jock," "the nerd" or whatnot--for life.

Even with the pressures of college life, I’ll keep getting my MTV fix. Whether the channel—with or without me—can get other people to join in this obsession- remains to be seen...
...stitched up, and seized the chance to plaster an Under Armour logo front and center. When the movie premiered in December 1999, Plank gambled his working capital to buy his first ad, a half page in ESPN magazine. That and the buzz about Foxx's eye-popping jock brought $500,000 in sales almost overnight and boosted the year's revenues to $1.35 million. Plank, who had been getting by on only occasional $250 paychecks, was so excited that he started paying himself a regular salary...
