When you’re talking about the greatest self-taught drivers of the 70s, I'm going with Michael Myers every time. Straight out of the asylum and parallel parking like a fucking champion.

I credit my immune system’s strength to having survived drinking out of these motherfuckers every day after every nasty kid in my school put their germ-infested lips all over it. I’m unfuckwithable.

How an NFL preseason game looked on your black-&-white television set 55 years ago tonight

August 14, 1971

#Raiders 41, #Jets 20
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Don Criqui, George Ratterman, and Bill Mathis on the call for WOR-TV New York

Numerous young, future stars on the field — Kenny Stabler, John Riggins, Phil Villapiano, Jack Tatum, and Clarence Davis

"Grand Old Man" 43-year-old George Blanda also takes a few snaps under center, as well as his usual kicking duties.

Stabler throws a beautiful touchdown pass, Davis returns a kickoff 99 yards for a score, and — as time expires — George Atkinson returns a punt 63 yards for six.

This is the most cogent, educated, well said video I’ve seen in awhile.

Good job young man.

These two coins were minted nearly 1,900 years apart, yet both feature the same powerful symbol: the eagle.

The upper coin is a Roman silver denarius minted during the reign of Emperor Vespasian around 72 AD. Its reverse depicts an eagle standing on a base, a symbol closely associated with Roman military power, divine favor, and state authority. Below it is a U.S. quarter minted exactly 1,900 years later, in 1972, featuring an eagle with its wings spread above arrows and olive branches.

The resemblance reflects a much deeper historical connection. When the United States was founded, its leaders deliberately drew on the political traditions and symbolism of ancient Rome. The new republic established a Senate, built a Capitol, embraced classical architecture, and adopted the eagle as a national emblem.

For centuries, Rome had used the eagle, or aquila, as a symbol of its legions. Roman soldiers carried eagle standards into battle, and losing one was considered a profound disgrace. The American eagle eventually developed its own meaning, but the symbolism would have been instantly recognizable in the ancient world.

Nearly two millennia separate these coins, yet both use the eagle to represent strength, authority, and national identity. The United States formally adopted the bald eagle as part of the Great Seal in 1782, while the eagle design on the 1972 Washington quarter had been used on the coin since 1932 and was created by sculptor John Flanagan.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

- Teddy Roosevelt

The quote was written by Theodore Roosevelt on May 7, 1918, while the United States was fighting in World War I.

Although Roosevelt had left office nearly a decade earlier, he remained one of the country’s most influential public figures. He strongly supported the war effort but was also a vocal critic of President Woodrow Wilson, whom he believed had been too slow to prepare the nation for war and was mishandling the conflict.

At the time, pressure to rally behind the government was intense. Congress had passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, placing broad restrictions on speech considered harmful to the war effort.

Against this backdrop, Roosevelt argued that patriotism did not mean giving the president unconditional support. In his view, citizens in a democracy had a responsibility to hold their leaders accountable, especially during times of national crisis.

Marlon Brando once told Dick Cavett that everyone on Earth is an actor.

Then he proved it, live on air, by dissecting Cavett himself.

It remains one of the most disarming exchanges in talk show history.

Cavett opened by pressing Brando on something he had read for years: that Brando considered acting "not a fit profession for a man." Brando deflected at first. "We can't believe the press; I don't know what we can believe in this country."

But then, in his words, "in an effort to help your ratings," Brando laid out his real view of acting:

"I think that we couldn't survive a second if we weren't able to act; acting is a survival mechanism, a social lubricant, and we act to save our lives every day."

People lie constantly, he explained. By not saying what they think. By showing something they don't feel. By trying to give the appearance of feeling something they don't actually feel.

Cavett pushed back: "But that's not acting."

Brando disagreed:

"That is acting. When you're nervous or frightened in this chair, or distressed and angry, you know that is not what is necessary to be shown here, so you control your face. You're a highly controlled person and you have to do that."

Cavett argued there had to be gradations. He was motivated in the moment, but he couldn't wake up the next morning and repeat that same performance on command, take after take. Surely that skill, the thing Brando did better than almost anybody, was something different.

Brando refused the compliment. He pointed to the office worker who hates his boss but performs enthusiasm for his "impossible notions" day after day to keep his job.

Cavett countered that delivering the same line six times, getting "something deeper into it time after time," takes an actor. Everyday performances are one-time things with immediate motivation.

"No, they're not one-time things because it's a daily procedure," Brando replied. "The dialogue changes but the motivation doesn't."

Then came the moment the interview is remembered for. Brando turned the lens directly on his host:

"Right now, you're thinking of 60 things at once: 'Is it getting dull? Is he upset? Is he bored? Is he offended? Here's a good time for a joke.' You're doing this editing at an insane rate with a demeanor of levity and zest, and that finally isn't what goes on in your mind or feelings at all."

Cavett's response said everything:

"I just feel like all my clothes have been taken off."

Brando softened it. "I couldn't do what you do, and that's a different kind of acting; you're playing a different kind of role."

Cavett tried one final test. He handed Brando a commercial script and challenged him to read it, any way he wanted. Brando refused flatly: "No, I won't do it."

Cavett's closing line: "I'm glad you didn't. The man's incorruptible, and that's what I hoped."

My excitement for the NFL season would immediately increase by at least 150% if these guys were still on the scene.

[BREDSKINS @BREDSKINSx]

Pat Summerall: "Nowhere are the fans more active or more vocal than they are in Washington."

John Madden: "Anytime you have a big game - and the Redskins over the years have been in a lot of big games - there's not a lot of better places to have it than right here at RFK Stadium. This is one of the good scenes in the NFL. And it's on grass and it's open... kinda reminds you really of what football is and what it's all about."

Things absolutely unheard of in the commie era. This description of Washington football is like something out of a parallel universe.

It's all dead now... everything that made us fall in love with the Redskins and that defined Washington football. The entire identity right down to "it's on grass and it's open." All ripped out and discarded bit by bit since 2020, accelerating in 2022 and culminating in 2030.

Today in 1964, Congress passes the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. It gives President Johnson sweeping power to escalate the war in Vietnam. The House approves the measure unanimously; only two in the Senate oppose. The U.S. has just committed itself to a long war in Southeast Asia.

His victory happened in front of Adolf Hitler.

On this day in 1914, Germany declares war on France. Hours later, France reciprocates. Armies in both countries begin mobilizing for action. The diplomatic crisis that has gripped Europe for weeks is quickly passing the point of no return.
