Jake Lamotta Sued Over Raging Bull Sequel

According to the studio, it was they who retained movie rights to LaMotta’s book, and that they had the right of first refusal on any filmed version. Instead, they say, LaMotta signed off on the sequel without any contact with MGM, and an extremely low-budged film was made behind the studio’s back. The lawsuit goes on to say that the movie’s quality isn’t exactly up to par with the 1980 classic: It refers to the movie as a “low-budget B movie” the quality of which is so low that it places the “integrity and value” of the original Raging Bull in jeopardy....

Jerami Grant Turned Down A 113 Million Contract In January And That Was A Very Smart Move

The Blazers offered Grant a five-year, $160 million contract. It’s certainly an overpay — Grant has never made an All-Star team, is nearly 30 years old, and likely won’t get much better than he currently is. He’s a good, solid player, to be sure, but unless something drastically changes, stardom isn’t on the horizon. But Grant isn’t worried about that. He bet on himself this year, and it paid off handsomely....
