Bob Odenkirk didn’t mince words while picketing the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Although some actors have called on SAG-AFTRA to grant promotional waivers for its members who have projects to promote, Odenkirk stands firmly on the side of the strike.

While on the picket line, Odenkirk told TheWrap his advice for those seeking waivers: “Don’t, It’s a strike. Strike. You lose. We lose. Everybody loses. That’s tough s–t.”

As it currently stands, SAG-AFTRA members are not allowed to promote any work associated with the AMPTP. As part of the strike against some of Hollywood’s biggest motion picture producers, union members are specifically barred from any form of paid promotion — meaning that marketing tours for major films like Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Mission Impossible had to stop abruptly.

In fact, Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise even reportedly lobbied for such promotional exemptions before the SAG-AFTRA strike even began — a move which has drawn the ire of his fellow SAG union members. Activists point out that any form of capitulation towards the AMPTP could potentially weaken the standing of the unions overall.

For his part, Odenkirk also explained that he expects the strike will take some time. “I actually am gonna go on a little trip,” he said. “I won’t be able to strike for a little while. So I wanted to get out as much as possible before going. And when they come back, I’ll be back on the line and see you as this is gonna go on.”

He’s not alone in that opinion. As the AMPTP battles against the WGA and SAG’s demands, including the implementation of streaming residuals, it’s clear that the studios aren’t willing to budge an inch. Although public opinion has largely been on the strikers’ side, the AMPTP has continued to engage in some very underhanded behavior.

The sentiment around working with the AMPTP again once all’s said and done has been fairly lukewarm. At the moment, working through the logistics of a press tour would practically be an impossibility. With no talk shows currently running, that also poses the difficulty of curating a space that would even house a tour. And if the A-list actors and actresses in Hollywood were to be granted waivers, that would risk the integrity of the movement and would likely divide it further.

NFL MVP Odds: Tua Tagovailoa Is Now The Outright Leader Over Patrick Mahomes

NFL MVP Odds: Tua Tagovailoa Is Now The Outright Leader Over Patrick Mahomes – originally posted on Sportslens.com

For the second time in three weeks, the Miami Dolphins put on a historic offensive showing on Sunday. They scored the 3rd most points in NFL history against the Broncos, even forfeiting a chance at breaking the record of 73. It was a well-rounded effort that thrived in both the rushing and passing attacks, and it has quarterback Tua Tagovailoa all by himself when it comes to the favorite to win the NFL’s MVP award.

Tua Tagovailoa Is Now The Overall Favorite For NFL MVP

The award was Patrick Mahomes’ to lose. The Chiefs quarterback is the reigning MVP of the NFL, and he entered the season with the shortest odds to repeat (+600). He was the outright favorite, but trailing close behind were guys like Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. Mahomes and the Chiefs got out to a rough start in Week 1, as did the other MVP candidates.

But not Tagovailoa. His 466 yard, 3 touchdown performance vaulted him to the top of the leader board, where he took a share of the lead with Mahomes at +650 going into Week 2. Tua’s performance against the Patriots in the second game was solid enough to keep him near the top, but the top of the leaderboard was cluttered heading into Week 3.

The clutter is gone. Tagovailoa led the Dolphins to their historic 70 point day, completing 89% of his passes en route to 309 yards and 4 touchdown passes. He achieved those numbers in just three quarters of play, and the oddsmakers at the sports books have taken notice.

Big Test For Tagovailoa And Miami In Week 4

As of Monday morning, Tagovailoa was listed as the heavy favorite to win the NFL MVP award, coming in at +400, the shortest of any MVP odds so far this season. Mahomes was listed at +700 at the time of writing, though that number is subject to heavy change. The public will believe that Mahomes will eventually win the MVP award until it is firmly taken out of his grasp, and the more that they bet on him with longer odds, the more his number will come down.

Will it last? Tagovailoa and the Dolphins will face their biggest test of the young season this coming Sunday, as they travel to Buffalo to face the division rival Bills. They have had one of the top-2 defenses in the league through the first three games, and are familiar with Tua and the Dolphins, having played against them three times last year.

The Bills are currently 2.5 point favorites for Sunday’s game.
