    Here is the movie's dialogue shown in this YouTube clip above:

    Prince Akeem: Sir, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night?

    Cleo McDowell: No, I didn’t.

    Prince Akeem: Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big “H”. It was a most ripping victory.

    Cleo McDowell: Son.

    Prince Akeem: Yes?

    Cleo McDowell: If you want to keep working here, stay off the drugs.

This cycle has repeated itself quite a bit in the post-Reggie White era. Many moments of brilliance, followed by a thud as he is shot down in a blaze of glory at the end of ...

Foul Balls — I was going to write a Basketball Diaries this morning, but there was only one basketball game scheduled yesterday. It seems the NBA is smart enough to know when it can't compete.
