It’s Braveheart where the Princes ‘friend’ is tossed outta window.
Davis: “Who is this person talking to me like he didn’t throw a bad pass?”
Spytek: “He’s Kirk, my QB1”
Davis: “Tell me then, which part of our Offense has Ashton hurt!?”
cut to Mendoza, QB1
@unusual_whales Of that 68%, it’s a 9:1 on spending it themselves, and watching it go to their grandkids.
It should be the Narcissistic Generation, not Baby Boomer.
Literally a generation born on third base thinking they hit triples, and told every generation after they were ungrateful & lazy.
Dammit @MoeMoton now I’m totally feeling your 5 win prediction 🤣
… and just like that, the season of Hope is succumbing to the start of ‘Regular’ season
Future us still bright, #RaiderNation
@ShashiJairam Kubiak: “I’d like to apologize to the media. I did not realize we were not saying the word ‘pre’ in front of season. I’m as shocked and appalled as you all. The plan was to sit him as the starter for PREseason.
…
So, as we’ve been saying. Fernando will be starting week 1…”
@MLB Albert Pujols. His dropping his back elbow as he settled into good stance made him look like he was about to start the Kumite from ‘Blood Sport’ 😎
It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always
@ShashiJairam I feel like if the o-line is solid and has gelled before the end of the preseason, Mendoza is gonna be the starter. Cousins is the place holder until they KNOW the line can protect the #1 pick.
