It's a stupid, nonsensical phrase of the moment.

John Riggins, as we noted a long time ago, was among those White athletes of the early 70s who didn't always play with full intensity. Mike Alstott had the mental attitude Riggins didn't have for much of his career. But Alstott wasn't "allowed" to be a team's Number One ball carrier. Riggins...

I looked up Mike Hass. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2022. Hass works for Pacific GeoSource.

TCM just featured a day of Anne Bancroft films in their Summer Under the Stars. The Miracle Worker was one. Patty Duke's son, Sean Astin, played the title role in the iconic film Rudy.

Funny thing, #39 was worn by RBs with contrasting styles, Larry Csonka and Hugh McElhenny.

David Sime also had a great rivalry with Bobby Morrow. In the 1956 pre-Olympic trials, Sime had a serious injury and missed the 1956 Olympics. Some think Sime would have beaten Morrow had he been there as he had been doing better than Morrow before being injured. Dr. Sime had bad luck. Along...

You forgot David Sime. He happened to be Christian McCaffrey's maternal grandfather.

These trends were apart from the merger. Had the AFL and NFL stayed separate leagues it would have made no difference.

T The Communist Lee Oswald did it alone.

Don't be surprised if Trump wins he appoints a female to head the Secret Service.

Yes, he registered as a Republican in order to vote against Trump in the Pennsylvania primary. There was quite a bit of this in the 2024 cycle.

Exactly. The Left has been hoping for Trump to be assassinated since 2015. No surprise there would be a comment about it being "staged."

The only White people shown positively have to be rich or a celebrity along with the proper attitudes.

It's the same regarding Trump. If Trump wins it's due to Biden being so bad. Trump thinks he is the greatest, most stupendous, marvelous, wonderful, etc., etc., being ever created. What happened was Republican voters had "leaders" (Bush, McCain, Romney, Ryan) who refused to address their...

It would be sensible for him to pick Vance but Trump is unpredictable.

I remember back in 2008 and 2012 the posters were for Ron Paul. The hope was Ron Paul was (finally) someone who would "get tough with the Jews." Every election cycle that forlorn wish circulates. When Trump ran and won, hope still sprang eternal. They were, at first, oblivious to the fact that...

I saw Willie Mays play on the TV Game of the Week for many years, and in the prime of his career. Mays outlived his playing contemporaries and a good many of his fans. He was considered the best all around baseball player of his time. Away from baseball Willie Mays was about as secretive as...

This is what legalizing gambling leads to. And more will be forthcoming in other sports as well.

I regularly watched Jerry West during the 1960s on ABC's Game of the Week om Sunday afternoons. The Lakers were on it often, along with the Celtics and Wilt Chamberlain's Philadelphia 76ers. A Jerry West jump shot was a symbol of the NBA along with Wilt Chamberlain's dunk shot. The top players...

I'm a bit surprised it took them this long to foist this one. When black players came into the majors they didn't hit ".466" and ".472."

An example of what?

Very refreshing indeed. Backing down wouldn't have done him any good, only made it 100 times worse.

Eastwood's character says: "GET OFF MY LAWN! In Korea we stacked f**** like you five feet high, used them for sandbags."

There is at least one thing I've learned in my lifetime about American businessmen and politicians. They will make any decision (or not make a decision) according to how much money they will make, even a relatively small amount. Thus the perennial threats to move a franchise unless there is a...
