Brian Bosworth tells the HILARIOUS story of how Burt Reynolds refused a stunt double and wanted to get hit by the Bos himself in this iconic scene from 'The Longest Yard' 🤣
Boz met Bo and the rest is history. 🤛Rewatching The Longest Yard (2005) and realizing how iconic that scene is—68-year-old Burt Reynolds refusing a stunt double, taking a legit hit from Brian Bosworth, and scoring the touchdown in one take. Peak Adam Sandler era, and the ultimate passing-of-the-torch moment for a true legend. 🏈🎬

He stood in front of the judge and told her he was working, staying out of trouble and "in a better place in my mind." She said she was sending him to prison anyway. Before she could finish the sentence, he was flying over her bench:
In the video below, the courtroom camera catches the whole thing.
January 3, 2024. Clark County District Court, Las Vegas. Deobra Redden was 30, a three-time felon, there to be sentenced for attempted battery. He'd beaten a man with a baseball bat the year before.
He'd even said he understood. "If it's appropriate for you, then you gotta do what you gotta do."
Then Judge Mary Kay Holthus started reading out the prison term. He ran at her, cleared the bench in one jump and landed on top of her. Her marshal, her clerk and a lawyer in the room piled on to drag him off.
The marshal was treated for a head injury. The clerk was scraped up. The judge was back on the bench the next day.
Afterwards he told guards he'd had a bad day and tried to kill the judge.
He had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. His lawyer said he hadn't been taking his medication. He pleaded guilty but mentally ill to attempted murder and five other charges.
In December 2024 he got 26 to 65 years. At sentencing he said he didn't remember much of that day, and that he isn't an evil person.
The judge testified she thought she was going to die.
Does untreated mental illness change how much blame he deserves, or is attacking a judge in her own courtroom unforgivable no matter what?
Jason Alexander said he and his Seinfeld co-stars asked for a share of the profits.
The answer, by his account, was a flat no.
It happened during the 1997 negotiations for what became the final season. Alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards, Alexander sought back-end participation. He called it “something that I will go to my grave saying we should have had.”
“It was categorically denied to us, which forced us to then ask for ungodly salaries.”
Alexander said the refusal led them to seek higher salaries. Variety reported in May 1997 that Alexander, Louis-Dreyfus and Richards would each earn $600,000 an episode for season nine.
Huge salaries. Alexander also acknowledged standard rerun residuals. But those payments were not the profit participation he said the three had been denied.
In 2004, Alexander recalled telling Jerry that leaving them out had “created a rift between you and the three of us” and “a chasm that is also inappropriate.”
Alexander also described negotiations for participation in the DVD release as “a happy arrangement.” He still insisted they should have had the profit share.
When artists were truly original, they weren't defined by their physical beauty, money, fame, or marketing; talent alone was enough to leave a legacy in life...

Axl Rose lloraba afuera del Roxy cuando su ex le dijo “Don’t cry”. Al día siguiente le tiró piedras a la ventana de Izzy Stradlin y la escribieron en 5 minutos.
¿Es la balada definitiva de los 90 o hay mejores?

One of the most telling moments in this video is the apparent surprise when these young women are confronted with the idea that Black people can be racist, too.
Racism doesn't become acceptable depending on who's doing it or who's on the receiving end.
And this highlights a fundamental difference between conservative principles and the identity politics so prevalent on the Left.
True conservative principles are rooted in individual accountability, equal standards, and judging people by their character, not their skin color. Right and wrong don't change depending on race or political affiliation.
If something is wrong, it's wrong. Period.
Maybe we need a little less political conditioning and a lot more independent thinking. 🇺🇸
World Wouldn't be Able to Handle Hunter S. Thompson Today!
Johnny Depp definitely had his vocal characteristics down in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Anyone remember Bill Murray as Hunter in WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM?

This is why concerts back then did not need lasers, light shows, fireworks, semi-naked dancers, and all that other BS. Just raw, rippin' great music.

SECRETARY RUBIO: I am on the American side of every issue — that I even have to say that is stunning. I am the Secretary of State of the United States.
After watching the video, who do you think is primarily responsible for how this escalated - the man and woman recording from their own property, or the officer who kept ordering them where to stand?
On April 27, 2024, in Bellevue, Nebraska, Bellevue PD stopped a vehicle for failure to dim high beams.
The car, driven by a family member, pulled into the couple's driveway.
Homeowners Nathan and his wife came out to film.
An officer ordered them to stay on the grass and not step on their own driveway or sidewalk:
“I’m telling both of you… you will not leave the grass area. If you obstruct my investigation by coming any farther than where the grass is you will go to jail for obstruction. That is your last and final warning… if you guys step foot off of your grass onto your driveway or the sidewalk.”
Nathan responded: “You can’t tell me where I can go. This is my house.”
They told the officer the passenger has epilepsy and the flashing lights could trigger a seizure. The officer brushed it off, saying he’d call an ambulance if she got in trouble.
Officers later claimed they smelled marijuana though none was found.
After the woman stepped onto the driveway to record, she was arrested for obstruction.
Video shows the entire interaction.
No mainstream coverage found. No documented lawsuit or court disposition for the charges.
Original footage posted by the homeowner.
❓Would you want to have these officers policing your neighborhood?
❓What does it say about the officers in the video that a fail to dim headlights stop turned into what happened here?
❓Does this video accurately portray a typical police interaction in Bellevue, Nebraska?
WATCH: Stephen A. Smith challenged President Trump on what he had done for Black Americans. Trump pulled out THREE pages of receipts and started reading…
HBCU funding, criminal justice reform, Opportunity Zones, Trump Accounts, sickle cell treatment access and Alice Johnson’s pardon were only part of the list. 👏🏾
