It’s certainly a movie about the ravages of war - both physical and mental.  Rambo is dealing with PTSD and survivor’s guilt - he was in town to visit an Army buddy only to learn to died of cancer related to Agent Orange exposure.

“First Blood" and "Cool Hand Luke" are quietly the two greatest antiwar films of all time

And a freaking great Brian Dennehy performance.

I just recently watched First Blood for the first time, knowing a little about the Rambo series, and was also surprised by that final scene in which Stallone breaks down crying saying he can’t do it anymore. Weirdly moving and sad considering I was trained to think ‘whoah, awesome, look at how cool he killed that guy’…

I’m glad you mentioned “First Blood.”  It is a quality flick one would not expect from all the follow up garbage movies.  Highly recommended.  

This is awesome.

The guy is a hero for standing up for what he believes in, in the face of an oppressive government.  The fact that he beats up Tai Chi dorks is icing on the cake.

If there is a baseline between exuberant celebration and disturbingly degrading behavior, these videos are a slow roller toward first that might not stay in fair territory.

“YOU’RE MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A F***ING IDIOT!”

You’re not an intelligent person and nobody values anything you have to say.

Cousins Or Manning. Which one you think will start in Miami next year?

This should be a good life lesson for Kirk Cousins. Sometimes you may not like the answer you get when you repeatedly ask, “How you like that???”

As someone who played Thielen in fantasy last week Kirk Cousins should throw an apology my way too. It’ll be late and off target but go ahead an throw it anyway Kirk.

It’s nice to have a brother to lean on, one you can invite on your podcast to clear the air. But sometimes it’s even better when Cousins reach out to see how you’re Thielen, especially after you Cook them with some Diggs.

I've heard Trump’s voice already.

Ain’t no Cousins apologizing for butt stuff down here.

Hey, want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?

My sympathies go out to the members of the Five Eyes IC who had to indulge Barr in his nonsense. Our allies brought the USA evidence of an attack on our election by a hostile foreign nation. Now, the administration is siding with that hostile foreign nation and investigating our allies.
