Glad you remember (or did your homework on) the USFL (NoLa and Jax) and WFL (Memphis and Birmingham), Truthteller. :) They look mass produced (the Stepford Cheerleaders?). My HS and college's cheerleaders didn't have skirts that short (I'm talking 1975-1984). (Just alerting you folks 12...

You took the words right out of my mouth about Shell, wir. OTOH Wonder how many in the press knew about Fritz Pollard in the 1920's. Yes, I always thought Fontes was part black. John

Reading The Wall Street Journal's remembrance of William Clay Ford and its mention of Wayne Fontes (one of 17 DET head coaches under WCF's reign, and one of the more successful) jogged my memory - and prompted to me to ask: Is Fontes part black? All those sideline closeups got me thinking. I...

This white boy from a (then) lily white, gangless Philadelphia suburb remembers playing with and being fascinated by clackers around 1970/71 (I turned 10 in '71). Guess I was the wrong race to play with them... :icon_rolleyes: John

Your family was that poor? Seriously? John

The report below is a year old, but it answers my curiosity as to obesity under the maple leaf... http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/obesity-rates-at-historic-levels-in-canada-1.1321955 I assume nothing's changed west of Niagara Falls or east of Calais... John

Which picture? The dreadlocked freestyle skier's or the mugshot of the short haired mulatta? John

Is that an order? I got as far as the date of the dissertation, er, article. March 2, 2012. Is this article relevant to conditions in January 2014? Edit: I read it (not verbatim) and if I think about it will reread it in the future. Very interesting, especially when Indy fans went into...

Pam, did the coach actually use the word upside? What you described happened before I discovered CF and its posters quoting that term and its cousins (I hardly pay attention to sportscasters' rhetoric bion). John

Left her tongue tied. Reminded me of Tom Brookshier asking Duane Thomas "Are you really that fast?" after SB6 and Thomas saying, "Evidently." John

Slightly OT: a small signal radio station (WSNJ 1240, licensed to Bridgeton, NJ with transmitter halfway between Bridgeton and Vineland) carried Angels games last season. Mike Trout is from Millville, where WSNJ's studio is. Millville, Vineland, and Bridgeton (county seat) are in Cumberland...

Back to playing coaches/managers. IIRC Dan Reeves was Landry's running backs coach the last couple of seasons of his playing career. John

So did Lou Boudreau. All the players, even those playing that day, wear those warmup shirts during ST games as well, it looks like. Lester Patrick (NYR coach) did the same thing when his (lone) goalie got hurt in a playoff game in 1928(?). John

Regarding Messrs. McGillicuddy and McGraw and dressing up for the dugout, I seem to recall Burt Shotton (Bkn. Dodgers mgr.) wearing a suit in the dugout too. In the Barclays Premier League in English soccer, quite a few coaches dress up for games. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal), Chris Hughton...

Not Tom Hanks? Tom Berenger? Tom Mix? John

Old Scratch, who. IS. Dat? John

As will every black PK who will come down the pike in the future whenever they fail in the clutch. Trust me, the Jews will see to the infiltration of that position. But that's another thread. John

I remember "What You Won't Do For Love" but not its artist. I'm familiar with all of those, and it never occurred to me that any of the above were black, for some reason (other than that I knew that the Doobies had one black member). McDonald indeed had that soulful voice - I mean, he...

Too bad the King didn't stick around long enough to incorporate Don Henley's "Sunset Grill" into his stage act. SG's fadeout would've been a perfect showcase for his karate kicks. "The Greatest Love of All" would've been good for Presley too. Lyrically, it's much like "If I Can Dream" from...

I always wonder what their faces become when the floor director says "that's a wrap" and the screen fades to black (or the logo of the closed captioning sponsor). Do any of these people have a let's-eat-out relationship? John

Not directly a caste issue but since we're so anti-Steelers on CF... http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/kansas-city-gotten-kick-win-san-diego-game-044219245--nfl.html John

Per http://www.hurricanesports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=205820405&DB_OEM_ID=28700 , Johnson did immediately follow Schnellenberger. John

I don't know how much moola Vdare's raised... but I managed to bring the article up just now. :dance: John

I keep getting AVG's "Oops! Page Not Found" page when I click the link, even when I Google the article. In fact, when I type Vdare's main page I get that message. John
