((Mark Lane)) is the character who (along with KGB disinformation) created the JFK Conspiracy Industry.

So you believe ((Mark Lane)). That's interesting.

Oswald himself asked for a sweater before going down to the basement for the ride to a more secure jail. Had he gone at the original time, Ruby would not have encountered him.

JFK was shot by a Castro-worshiping Communist.

A year or so ago I noted that Forum members had hoped Trump "would get tough with Israel." I observed that Donald Trump had more business, family, and personal ties with Jews than any previous President.

Be sure and give us a review of the Jerry West biography. I used to see him play on TV very often.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame 2020 Class for the Modern Era has been announced: Steve Hutchinson Troy Polamalu Isaac Bruce Edgerrin James Steve Atwater They will be inducted this year along with the previously named Centennial Class.

I saw The Last Full Measure over the weekend. It did good box office, which (hopefully) means similar films to come. Offhand I believe it is the first movie about a Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipient aside from a 1987 TV movie about James Stockdale's POW experience.

Mickey Mantle was the biggest sports star of his time. And a bigger star in his time than anyone since. Mantle was of the early TV era, DiMaggio retired after the 1951 season, before every house had a TV.

The Brooks Robinson photo (looks like a trading card picture) was taken in Yankee Stadium circa 1963. The Frank Howard photo (in a LA Dodger uniform) is from the same period, taken at the Polo Ground where the Mets were playing. The Polo Grounds were torn down after the 1963 season when the Mets...

I remember when this broke a few weeks ago. It turns out the property where she was found in a shallow grave belonged to a relative of the suspect.

Yes, the bar gets lower and lower. Cowher won only one Super Bowl and didn't build a team as such. He got in from getting media face time (as did Johnson) and the Steelers' "glory team" status, which got Shell in. Carmichael just a poor choice. Drew Pearson and Cliff Branch lost out to...

From CBS Sports: "The PFHOF just announced the 10 senior inductees and three conributors that will make up the 20-member class, the largest in the Hall of Fame's history. The five modern-era nominees will be announced on the eve of Super Bowl LIV." Two Coaches: Bill Cowher Jimmy Johnson The...

John Riggins didn't make the top 24. Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris were picked ahead of him, neither made the top 12. Bettis' "compiling" was ahead of Riggins and Harris was on more winners. The PFRA Forum of pro football historians considered four selections questionable: Doug Atkins...

Also, skill position players wear gloves, form-fitting gloves designed to catch the football. This makes passing easier as well. Some years ago, someone commented that with so many blacks playing, wearing gloves became the norm.

TCM is showing The Bridge (Die Bruecke 1959) early Monday morning January 13 at 4 am ET. This is the first time TCM has shown it.

Most likely this is the case.

There supposedly isn't any money to build a Wall or protect the U.S. border. But money is always found to send unlimited military force and weaponry to the Middle East.

The Panthers finished with an eight game losing streak ending 5-11, which killed McCaffrey's rushing numbers, especially. His rushing stats fell off a cliff the last 7 games. Mid-season it looked like CMac could get 1700 yards rushing.

The Blue Ribbon Committee made an effort to pick someone from each era. These kind of lists are always subjective, but they did a reasonably good job.

The NFL 100 All-Time Wide Receivers. Jerry Rice Randy Moss Larry Fitzgerald Raymond Berry Lance Alworth Paul Warfield Marvin Harrison Don Hutson Elroy Hirsch Steve Largent

The NFL 100 All-Time Quarterbacks have been announced. Sammy Baugh Tom Brady John Elway Brett Favre Otto Graham Peyton Manning Dan Marino Joe Montana Roger Staubach John Unitas

There is no case for Ken Willard to be in the HOF. Craig has been considered (and rejected) several times, far more significant player than Willard.

I can't tell you how much gloating I've seen about "There will never be another white heavyweight champion," or "A white thousand yard gainer in the NFL, never again." This was especially strong in the 80's and 90's.

Out of curiosity, has anyone on this Forum deigned to see the Richard Jewell movie?
