#Rams#Oilers
Perhaps the greatest Football highlight ever.
Earl Campbell gets the ball runs through Isiah Robertson, and then has his jersey ripped off.
“...left L.A. defenders strewn in his wake”- Harry Kalas
J.R. Smith says he regrets wasting $60,000 in strip clubs when he could've helped his community
“I got Paul George sitting right here. I got DeMar DeRozan right here. I got Russell Westbrook sitting right here. I'm literally sitting next to all of these dudes who are LA guys”
“I'm like, ‘Bro, I'm not counting your chips, but everybody else is. You make $200 million, you make $200 million, you make $175 million, you make $150 million, you make $180 million. Why don't y'all have your own gym? Why we got to go to UCLA to work out in LA every time?”
“Y'all come from the exact same community. You want to inspire kids that look like you. All it takes is five of us. What bank gonna turn us down. We 'bout to build this whole thing out for our community. We're gonna build gyms, rec centers, start leagues and all that. Who's gonna stop us. We got the money. We don't have the mindset”
“Our mindset, we'd rather go throw $60,000 in the club, in the strip club, than go feed 2,500 people in the hood. Think about it. I've done it. I can't sit here and be like, ‘Oh man, I'm a hypocrite.’ I've done this myself. I've thrown money in the club, literally blindly, aimlessly, drunk. And now I sit back, ‘I'm a stupid ass.’ I could have fed my whole community 10 times over with the money I was just late on the bus”
“Because I'm so wrapped into me. I got that Eurocentric mindset. I need this designer jacket. I need these jeans. I need this book bag. I need to be looking like this because the vets got this thing, I'm pushing this car, I'm doing... Why? Who am I impressing. I'm not even fulfilled with me”
@mattvanswol Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Period. Some of the states changed thier election rules and expanded voter access, but that’s just a failure to adapt by Trump to the rules of the game.
Shaq caught wind of this 7-foot-3 kid in Kemah, Texas who powered through the police academy only to fall one point short on the state exam. His whole dream of becoming an officer looked like it was slipping away right there.
Then Shaq jumped in and covered the guy’s living expenses for the next five months so he wouldn’t have to juggle a second job and could zero in on passing that test. Because of that extra push, Jordan Wilmore got back in, nailed it, and just got sworn in as a Kemah police officer.
