Gallipses!

Holy shit, was he in that! Our school had a 6 week unit covering that series.

That was the first book to which I had an emotional connection. I never saw the movie but what is it about that book and 6th graders?

Good point. Your response also reminds me of ESPN's 30 for 30 entry (yeah, I'm a sucker for sports docs) Ghosts of Ole Miss. It was about the football season during which the now Dr. James Meredith tried to enroll in the university. We're talking about a gentile campus suddenly embroiled with National Guardsmen and…

I don't think anyone was expecting him to be a crusader of any type but I can't help but think that with his legacy already firmly cemented why it took him so long to integrate his team. It may be an apples to oranges comparison but you can slightly say the same with Joe Paterno. He was already a living legend but…

I am not sure quoting Pete Rozelle will further any cause. Seriously, he was one of the shrewdest bastards to run the league. That can either be good or bad. But I will say this, Rozelle was in no way a friend to the players during his reign.

That's pretty ironic seeing as how the team spent it's glory days (the 80s under coach Joe Gibbs) playing at RFK Stadium. I'm curious as to how Marshall felt about that since I cannot imagine him being too particularly fond of either Kennedy brother.

I saw an HBO sports documentary two years ago about the integration college football and there was an anecdote that kind of proves that. Bryant was said to have confronted a group of athletic boosters at a speaking engagement were he uttered something to the effect of, "Before I retire there will be black players…

I absolutely adore Monster Movie.

They played that song on David Letterman while Kim Gordon was pregnant.

I went to Kentucky actually, but seriously, is that the player's real name?

Sorry. But hey, Dan-Brad, they're both representative of the vanilla side of the spectrum.

Coach Hines is awesome. That character is streets beyond anything Chris Farley ever attempted.

Be well.

You raised an excellent point and one that surpasses my biblical knowledge. However, all I can offer as a response is a repeat of what I said earlier; only this time I will only vouch for myself. I believe in Jesus and as an extension of that I believe in a heaven and hell. I choose to believe in Jesus because it is…

I know a few of people who choose to dislike Jesus for the precise reason you mentioned. They were turned off by the very same "familial and societal pressure into believing…" Again, based on my own study, liking Jesus is choice, not something to be coerced or shamed into doing.
