It was Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He threw a copy on the floor and stomped on it, calling the FBI report, "Filth." These still are not to be released until 2027, apparently. The ones out today refer to the assassination.

That has been one of the remarkable things about Trump from when he came down the escalator--The energy Trump has for a man his age. But it won't last forever. A friend of mine notes that Trump is looking his age.

I didn't want Trump to be the nominee in 2024. The Left DID want Trump, thinking he would be easy to beat, so they hit him with lawfare which riled the GOP base into supporting him. But the joke was on the Left as Trump won anyway. Trump is a 78-year old lame duck.

In his first term, Trump did put some emphasis on border security, but it was just more so than the typical Republican. Trump also was better on judicial appointments than Bush 41 and 43. Aside from that Trump, as president, was a garden variety Republican.

I mentioned above that MLB and ESPN had never run a documentary on Mike Schmidt beofre. I checked and Schmidt never was on an ESPN Sportcentury show. And there were well over a hundred shows. Schmidt led the National League in home runs eight times, had 3 NL MVP awards, 1980 Worlds Series MVP...

On Friday night, "Michael Jack Schmidt", a documentary on the Philadelphia Phillies' greatest player, Mike Schmidt premiered. The theme is Schmidt's great career and the way Philadelphia fans treated him, with constant booing. They cheered when he hit a home run but let him have it when he made...

A black WR on the Steelers, Dave Smith, did this in a 1971 Monday Night game. Smith was something of a locker room lawyer and the Steelers traded him to Houston at mid-season the next year. An internet piece ( a chapter in a book on former Steelers) told how Smith left football after the 1973...

Jim Brown said that when Pat Fischer was with the Cardinals he and Larry Wilson were very tough opponents, hitting him as hard s anybody.

First, I have a lifelong disdain for gambling, but I suppose if someone is foolish enough to gamble it's their business. Gambling means ignoring statistical probability. If the House didn't come out way ahead they wouldn't be in business. Baseball and corporate sports in general know gambling...

As I wrote previously this epithet is a left-wing trope that assumes so-called "Boomers" are a conservative group.

Well said. What I called "a stupid, nonsensical phrase of the moment" is a trope used by left-wing types.

You're welcome. Contrary to the implication, the so-called "Boomers" varied considerably in their beliefs. I've no doubt there are a huge number of "Boomer" race realists, some were liberal when young but that is common for all generations.

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."
