Afterthought Quote by Bill Burr
“It's a great time to be a comedian because you've got so much more control. You can say what you want to. I think in the old days with the studio system the performer was a bit of an afterthought. You can be a wildcard on the internet. But if you put something on the internet once it's out there it's out there for life.”

![“He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.” quote by Andy Roddick](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5fb/andy-roddick-6537_baseball_he-vince-spadea-was-about-as-down-and-ou_3076018.jpg)
