🚨WHOLESOME🚨
ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky’s son Madden who has autism broke into “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” while his dad watched on with tears in his eyes.
The moment was to honor Autism Awareness Day.
One of the best videos ever, @danorlovsky7🥹
@RealKingRegal I couldn’t agree more with this sir! There are far too many matches where there does not appear to be a kick at all, instead the person that we are meant to believe wants to win the match just gets up so the believed loser of the match can still continue.
"This is no ordinary job ... this is the Silver and Black."
Klint Kubiak understood the assignment.
The Raiders are 3-0 with the division rivals coming to town 🍿
LEGENDARY: The 1976 Oakland #Raiders were one of the most dominant and feared teams in #NFL history.
“The Raiders are dirty? Yeah, yeah —we’re dirty. What are you going to do about it?”
13-1 record. Won Super Bowl XI.
John Madden’s squad was RUTHLESS 🐐
Several days after the press conference @JoshDubowAP referenced, when things finally settled down, I told my husband I was going to smash that overhead projector with an axe so it could never be used again - he replied: oh no, that baby's going to Canton - so I hid it.
In the West, turning sixty is something people try to hide.
You buy anti-aging cream. You joke about retirement homes.
In Japan, when you turn sixty,
your family dresses you in bright scarlet red and throws a massive party.
It's called Kanreki.
The traditional Japanese zodiac operates on a 60-year cycle.
When you reach sixty, you have lived through all five elements
and all twelve animal signs.
The cycle completes.
You return to the beginning.
The red vest — the chanchanko — is the exact color worn by newborn babies.
You are not being called old.
You are being celebrated for being reborn:
with the pure heart of an infant,
and the accumulated wisdom of a lifetime.
Children hug their grandparents.
Sons pour sake for their fathers with both hands.
In Japan, age is not an apology.
Gray hair is not a flaw.
It is a medal you earn by walking this earth for sixty years,
surrounded by the people who exist because you did.
