News: Dak finally makes it to TMZ for partying

[Trouty]

Yeah he's a Steelers and USC fan.

And his son played for UCLA

He has been very smart about he built TMZ, people don't realize it but Mike, the news director that always wear a black shirt, and the COO type with dreads are the only ones getting paid anything. The rest are intern types chasing the dream and Harvey keeps the money.

When they were still on Sunset a lot of those guys went to my gym, the news director Mike is a great guy. The funny thing is that he is totally conservative politically and Harvey is one of those guys that will "disagree with every word you say but fight to the death for your right to say it". Harvey would totally back his right to express his opinions, which isn't very common in the Entertainment Industry.

Thanks for the anecdotes, Kaiser. Interesting. Yeah, I knew the dreaded guy was a small partner.

(Still hate them in sports lol)

#1 - Snoop Dogg is a Cowboys fan and has been in the public eye for decades, its not like Dak and Zeke joined the Manson Family or something.

Also I totally disagree with the comparison of TMZ to Gawker. Gawker was complete slime that would harm people for sport and for clicks. They outed Peter Thiel for a few extra clicks and that's why he funded the lawsuit against them. BTW - Peter Thiel didn't destroy Gawker, a Judge and Jury did when they found them guilty of crimes. In the trial the head of Gawker said that he would publish child porn for money unless the victim was "under 4". He said this in Open Court, so imagine what he does in his office.

TMZ is only publishing what is out there in public, they don't break any laws and most of what they publish is found on other websites as well. They also have broken news at times when other parts of the media wouldn't do so because of political bias, like parts of the (first) Anthony Weiner scandal.

Another point is that while some Paparazzi are scum, at least half of the published paparazzi photos were staged by an agent telling them where to be and when.

TMZ isn't the villain, Harvey was just smart enough to get ahead of the Social Media/User Generated Content train. He is also printing money because he runs the business is a very smart way, but that's another post.

Yes, he is a Steelers fan overall but has been seen in Oakland for the hometown crowd and with Ray Lewis at a Ravens practice but he is a Steelers fan overall.

He is friends with Dez Bryant probably via the Roc connection or like you said perhaps from Snoop visiting Oxnard at some point.

 

[Nightman]

OK, but he is a fan of Dak and Zeke so he still gets credit!

You gotta play to your crowd......"Hello Cleveland"

One last anecdote, the guy with dreads is cool too but he has a kind of a barfighter vibe. He is totally cool and is a smart guy, but when you see him on camera you would think is a very laid back guy. Instead you have this feeling like you shouldn't mess with him, its kind of funny.

 

[Little Jr]

It was in Dallas

Damn, got right off the plane and went out lol.

 

[Carson]

And his son played for UCLA

Correct. But he's a die hard USC guy! Watched his show and he was hurt when his son went there

 

[drawandstrike]

OMG OUR NEW COWBOY ROOKIES ARE HITTIN' THA CLUBS AND DANCING AND STUFF INSTEAD OF SITTING AT HOME STUDYING THEIR PLAYBOOKS ALL NIGHT WHY WHY WHY GOD WHY?!

Dak is a very good looking man. That's all my contribution to this thread and I'm aware that takes me to cougar level.

P.s
All our QBs happen to be goodlooking.

You had me at "cougar level", post of the day!

 

[plasticman]

Dak and Zeke were partying? Are they allowed to do that? I mean, I just assumed there was some "curfew" clause in their contract. Don't they go straight back to team facilities for damage inspection and lockup?

They are allowed to wander around the city doing whatever they please? What is this country coming to?

 

[Cmac]

Has Adam Scheffter reported "unnamed sources" yet?

 

[flosho]

surely you did not expect them to go right back to VR and study film

Peyton Manning would be.
