“My parents are going to flip out!” one exclaimed as she walked off the set. And while the night centered around the students learning what’s required to break into the sports industry, meeting the former players was a treat in and of itself. Although the job may seem mundane, Ponsiglione stressed the importance of it, because of the trouble that can arise if a host is unable to read their script.įrom there it was to the set to meet host Chris McGee, Bresnahan, and analysts Robert Horry and James Worthy. ![]() Whether filming off an iPhone, handheld or standard camera equipment, the goal is to create “upper-echelon sports television,” DeCloux explained.Ī visit to the control room provided students with a glimpse into where their careers may take them and experience how the production crew coordinates with on-air talent and truck that is on location for that evening’s Lakers game.Įmbodying Ponsiglione’s message from earlier in the evening, a Spectrum Networks intern was working the teleprompter. When DeCloux and Aron took center stage, they focused on the intricacies of bringing “Backstage: Lakers” to life. Tonight a few students got a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of our studios for Spectrum SportsNet’s TV & Film Career Night. We can call our truck and say, ‘Send us all the angles of that play.’ So they’ll send us all that on a backpath and we can utilize it any way we want.”Īfter Ponsiglione fielded questions from the inquiring minds, he implored the group to pursue an array of internships and directed them to where such opportunities can be found. “For example, if someone has a great dunk, it’s our play of the day. “Because it’s our own production, we can actually get more from the truck. Spectrum SportsNet SpectrumSN The television home of the Lakers and LASparks. “They’re sending us content and we’re turning that around immediately,” Ponsiglione explained of the relationship between the studio and on-location crews. It’s one area Spectrum SportsNet has an upper hand because they hold exclusive television rights for the majority of games. In an industry where game highlights can capture the audience, creating such a package can be key to a postgame broadcast. He immediately was peppered with questions ranging from cameras and editing software the studio utilizes to how one can secure an internship with Spectrum. So it was with Ponsiglione that the students quenched their thirst for knowledge. He’s involved in various business aspects of the networks and otherwise has his focus on delivering quality content. makes 23-foot three point jumper (Patrick Beverley assists)LeBron James makes 16-foot two point shotLeBron James misses 26-foot three point pullup jump shotDennis Schroder misses two point shotThomas Bryant makes layup (Dennis Schroder assists)Dennis Schroder makes 7-foot driving floating jump shotLeBron James misses 26-foot three point shotLeBron James misses layupDennis Schroder misses 25-foot three point jumperMason Plumlee blocks Thomas Bryant's layupThomas Bryant makes dunk (LeBron James assists)Thomas Bryant makes two point shot (Austin Reaves assists)Russell Westbrook misses 18-foot pullup jump shotRussell Westbrook misses 12-foot pullup jump shotRussell Westbrook misses running pullup jump shotTroy Brown Jr.Ponsiglione can be best be described as the engine that drives Dodgers and Lakers programming.

![]() This isn't necessarily a complaint, it's nice to be able to follow a sport without having to be up on deer antler spray or whatever the heck Jose Canseco is saying this week, but it's still rather odd that there's so little steroid talk in basketball. For whatever reason, it's never a story in basketball even though many NBA players have just as much reason to bulk up or recover quicker from injuries as players in the MLB or NFL. Hedo Turkoglu was busted for PED useĭespite the fact that the use of performance enhancing drugs is one of the biggest stories in sports today, alongside other notable topics such as imaginary girlfriends and ill-timed power failures, the NBA world seems strangely immune to the controversy. One thing is for certain: If this doesn't motivate this particular Lakers team, then nothing will. The Lakers have to know that the best way to honor the memory of their longtime owner would be to turn this farce of a season around and make a strong playoff push. Most notably, there's talk that he's feuding with sister Jeanie Buss over his decision to hire Mike D'Antoni to replace head coach Mike Brown and not Phil Jackson, Jeanie's fiancee.Īt the moment, the Lakers community mourns along with the rest of the basketball world, but soon their attention will be back to the games. Not only has the team been dysfunctional on the court, the struggles of newly acquired All-Star center Dwight Howard have been well documented, there have also been plenty of problems inside the organization as well. With reports out saying it's highly unlikely that the family will give up control of the team, Jim Buss will have a long way to prove doubters that he's capable of running the team. Jerry Buss, much like the post-George Steinbrenner before him, has handed down the franchise he transformed to the next generation. If there's one thing this current Lakers squad, mostly assembled by Jerry Buss's son Jim while his father was ailing, has proven, it's that simply acquiring the best available players isn't enough to create a winning team, let alone a championship-caliber one.įor better or worse, the Lakers are now officially in Jim Buss's hands. Still, the Lakers' financial advantages alone don't account for the Lakers winning 10 championships, and making 16 NBA Finals appearances, in the span of 30 plus years. There's some truth to this, just as there's some truth to the counter-argument that Buss was spending money on his team in an era where many other owners were simply lining their own wallets. Critics would argue that the Lakers had enough revenue that they could afford to buy championship-caliber rosters, especially since it was easier to sell potential free agents on the idea of spending their winters in California as opposed to Cleveland or Toronto. Under Buss's watch, even the head coaches, most notably Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, were de facto celebrities. There could be an entirely new basketball Hall of Fame dedicated solely to the stars that the Lakers had on their roster during Buss's reign: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Robert Horry, Pau Gasol and many others. Obviously, the success of Buss's Lakers can be traced to the sheer amount of talent that has flourished in purple and gold over the years. Of course, none of these added attractions would have mattered if the team didn't win, but under Buss's direction, the Lakers were one of the most successful franchises not just in the NBA, but in all of professional sports. Jerry Buss always courted the best players, the big names who could shine in big games, no matter how much money it took to sign them, he transformed cheerleaders into " Lakers Girls" and made the courtisde seats the go-to place for all of the beautiful people to be seen. A rollicking playboy type himself, Buss was instrumental in turning the Lakers into Los Angeles's team, complete with an aura of glitz and glamor. Although Buss was a lot more likable than some of the larger-than-life owners that passed before him, most notably George Steinbrenner of the New York Yankees and Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders, he was in many ways a similar type: a dedicated hands-on owner who molded his team in his own image and was dedicated to winning at all costs.īuss, who bought the Lakers in 1979, essentially created the modern day Lakers. Buss's passing marks the end of an era in L.A., and in the sporting world in general. ![]() Jerry Buss passed away from complications from cancer at the age of 80. In a Lakers season full of big losses, the toughest loss of them all happened Monday morning when team owner Dr. ![]() This is controversial however, as on the Official Paradox Forums using the term has been banned for the forum admins view it as a racist terminology.įrance in similar vein is sometimes called Baguette Paper/Bird/Sword Mana Many players like to call the Ottomans "Kebab" as a result of that meme and it has come to be another name for them. Ottomans are KebabĪ derivative of the Serbia Strong/Remove Kebab meme. It is often a joke to state that Ulm is a powerful nation, despite its status as a minor prince in the HRE. After a well known comic style After Action Report by Paradox Forum user Svip for EUIII, the small nation gained notoriety in the Paradox gaming community. Ulm is a One province minor (OPM) in the middle of the Holy Roman Empire. It is regarded as one of the most difficult nations to play as given its location, hence the "The Three Mountains" achievement for owning/ subjecting every province in the game as this nation. This nation gained notoriety after DDRJake, now a QA tester for Paradox, did a world conquest with this nation in both EU4 and its prequel EUIII using various exploits. The nation of Ryuku is a small minor nation south of Japan in EU4. It is one of the hardest achievements in the game due to the time constraints. This meme has been recognized by the developers themselves, having added the achievement "Big Blue Blob" to the game for owning 100 core provinces in Europe before 1500. Korea is some times referred to as the "Other Big Blue Blob" due to its tendency to do the same thing with hordes in Central Asia. This has caused the fan base to commonly refer to France as the "Big Blue Blob" due to its color in the games political map mode and tendency to blob in the hands of both the player and AI. In the Europa Universalis series, the position and development level of France puts it in a position to "blob" or continuously expand in various directions. This is to represent what a specific in game action or phenomena can feel like when experienced by the player. The meme can also take form of a music video with game footage in the background. This meme consists of YouTube videos that take a scene from a movie or TV show and put flags of the games various nations on the characters, and contain various sound effects and icons from the game. EU4 – When you X/Every X game Ever/X in a nutshell The format is as follows: X has gained a Y CB on Z. It has gained notoriety in the community, there even being a mod that replaces the CB gained sound effect with a line from the song. The above song is one produced by the game devs themselves in reference to the game mechanic. ![]() In the EU4 and Paradox community it is common to state that someone or some group gets a "CB" on another when they do something offensive or disproving. In all Paradox Games you traditionally must have a reason to got to war (which is the literal translation of the term). The game has gained a sizable player base and references to the game can be found in comments on forum threads, websites and Reddit posts dealing with politics, international relations and history. Spread:Įuropa Universalis is considered one of the staple games of the Strategy and Grand Strategy genres. EU4 was developed in 2013 as a sequel to Paradox's long running Europa Universalis series. ![]() Again these are my recommendations and other people might recommend other things. Everyone might be a little biased on how each aircraft turned out for them. Just do your own research, watch some YouTube videos about which aircraft you want. Downloads by Carlos Palacio HD Parts for the X-Rotors AW139 for X-Plane by Carlos Palacio This kit, released with permission or X-Rotors, allows you to further customize their AW139 by adding new parts to the helicopter. Anything ToLiss or FlightFactor should be good. FlightFactor has a 767 which I’ve been wanting to get but just can’t right now. The Jardesign A320 works and has custom MCDU and I would consider it higher than a default aircraft but most likely couldn’t compete with ToLiss or FlightFactor. Many people criticize this aircraft too much, but compared to other a320’s at double the price, Jardesign is below them. The Jardesign a320 is not a bad aircraft. I could have gotten the ToLiss a321 which would have been much better. I messed up on that deal because I ended up wanted to get the audio improvement for it by BlueSkyStar. I haven’t tried those but those look good.įor Airliners, there isn’t much good for cheap. But if you wouldn’t mind waiting a bit, you could wait for the new E-Jets X-Crafts is developing.

The villains oftentimes form teams such as the Sinister Six to oppose the web-slinger. There are, however, numerous villains that don't fit into any specific category, such as Kraven the Hunter and Mephisto, the latter of whom originated as a Silver Surfer villain. They can be classified into multiple categories, such as animal-themed villains ( Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Black Cat, Lizard, Rhino, Scorpion, Jackal, Beetle, Kangaroo, Tarantula, and Puma), those with powers over the elements ( Sandman, Electro, Molten Man, and Hydro-Man), horror-themed villains (the Green Goblin, the Hobgoblin, Morbius, Morlun, and the Symbiotes), crime lords (the Kingpin, Tombstone, Hammerhead, Silvermane, and Mister Negative), inventors (the Shocker, the Tinkerer, Spencer Smythe, and Alistair Smythe), and masters of trickery and illusion (the Chameleon and Mysterio). Spider-Man then became popular enough for more Spider-Man comic spinoffs ( The Spectacular Spider-Man, Marvel Team-Up, Web of Spider-Man, Peter Parker: Spider-Man etc.) which introduced more recurring enemies of the web-slinger, across their various incarnations.Īs with Spider-Man, most of his villains' powers originate from scientific accidents or the misuse of scientific technology.
