  1. If you ever work in an emergency room, there are things you should know. Nobody ever accidentally sticks something up their ass, but you need to work on saying, "Damn, that's crazy!" If the object they "accidentally" got stuck in their ass is a cell phone, you don't have to ask. It was on vibrate. The only thing in the world that smells worse than an obese woman's vagina is a wino's feet. NOTHING in the world smells worse than a wino's feet, and that's coming from a guy who spent five years on a dive/recovery team. One shift in an ER and your back and feet will hurt worse than eight hours of ditch digging. ER break rooms have changed a LOT in the last forty years. In the 1980s, everyone ran on nicotine and caffeine. The break rooms had an ash tray the size of a sombrero, and looked like a camp fire had just gone out in it. There were at least six 44 ounce styrofoam Big Gulp cups filled with Circle K coffee.
  2. Arlene Golonka really caught my eye in Hang Em High. Especially after she spent all that time being sweet, innocent Millie on Mayberry RFD. But, back to Angie Dickinson
  3. I did not know that. I do know that after watching Then Came Bronson, it was upsetting that hot, crazy girls didn't show up at the beach, take off their clothes, then jump on the back of my motorcycle.
  4. Should have been more realistic, just a cowboy, astronaut millionaire.
  5. Yeah, but you're in real estate in California. You should be able to buy out Chip Kelley's AND Sarkisian's contract with the money in your couch cushions.
  6. She stayed hot for a long time. This was her in Then Came Bronson in 1969. Die Hard was 1988 and she was still smoke.
  7. When I was a kid I wanted to be an artist. Ended up being a firefighter and doing sports photography, writing and interviews on the side. Life's actually a lot better than I planned.
  8. Seemed like everybody that was in American Graffiti had a solid career, but Paul Le Mat, that played John Milner's career never took off. It's pretty crazy how many of the even fringe characters became stars. Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, Cindy Williams, Mackenzie Phillips, Kathleen Quinlan, Suzanne Summers, all went on to have solid careers. Le Mat was featured, and had solid on screen charisma, but never did much else.
  9. I was never a big Deion fan, but the guy impresses me. He doesn't just understand the game of football, he understands the game owners and GMs play with players. He figured out how to jump from a dogshit franchise to getting a Super Bowl win with the 49ers, then jumping and getting another with the Cowboys, got massive paychecks both times, and got out of the game without a major brain injury. He also understands all the leeches that take player money and leave them broke, like the hooker chicks, agents and investors. If a kid is a true generational talent, Deion can show them the ropes on how to maximize their potential and not end up in a mobile home with other people spending the money they made. Also, the guy really broke one of my long standing beliefs that great players never make great coaches. My theory was that great players operated largely on talent, and the great coaches were guys that were okay talents, but had to fully understand the game, cause they couldn't just out-physical everyone. Remains to be seen if he becomes a great coach, but his record so far is outstanding, and he's got people talking about a school that hardly anyone knew existed a couple of years ago.
  10. Dammit, I still want to see Ed Orgeron go to Oregon, just to watch the sports journalists try to get through a story.
  11. Picked up two starting offensive linemen in the portal. Nose tackle Siaki Ika portaled in from LSU. Drew Estrada, caught one of the TD passes, transfered in. Dillon Doyle, second year starting linebacker, came in last year from Iowa.
  12. You can't wait until next October to make a prediction.
  13. Nah, he'd react more like this...
  14. The two biggest openings are Oklahoma and Notre Dame. Gundy to Oklahoma could actually trigger the apocalypse. I think Gundy's settled into that unique group of coaches who like where they are and don't want to move. A school like Oklahoma State doesn't get the blinding, annoying spotlight, but their name is good enough to make the playoffs with a successful campaign. It may be my "poors" attitude, but after you're making $5 million a year or so, the extra money is often for bragging rights. If you can't prepare for retirement with that salary, it's a money management problem, not a salary problem. Course, you never say never, cause anytime rumors come up, it's a possibility of a contract extension or salary bump for you, and if somebody legit approaches you with an offer, you have to listen. However, most of these coaching rumors don't spring up out of thin air, although some do. The only thing stupider than a journalist is a sports journalist. The "out of thin air" projections are from people who see a hot coach and say, "Hey! He once fucked a girl from South Bend. Notre Dame's going after him for sure." A lot of these rumors, though, are planted by agents to try and build impetus. Max Engel pitching Sonny Dykes for Oklahoma HAD to have been planted by his agent. Final note: Lincoln Riley's handling of the situation shows exactly why you should never believe a coach. They can come up with 99 ways to lie without actually lying.
  15. Rhule's good at getting the most out of players. His recruiting at Baylor was suspect, but he had also started writing his number on NFL bathroom walls the day he signed his first Baylor contract, so he never looked at Baylor as a long term home. If you want a recruiter, not your guy. If you want someone to change a culture, he can do it. The turn around at Baylor was pretty impressive, considering he jettisoned about a third of the players, and the 2016 recruiting class completely disappeared. BUT, he never beat a ranked team while at Baylor, and in the ten win 2019 season, over half those wins were one score games. For Baylor, he was a home run hire, cause he got rid of a lot of guys who could play, but couldn't keep from breaking the law. They went 1-11 the first year, and got their asses beat cause they started something like 14 freshmen, including on the line, at various times that year. There were a lot of injuries, cause linemen usually need some time to develop. He never made a big deal about kicking someone out, but he wouldn't blink, no matter how good they were on the field. The joke around Baylor was someone was encouraged to be successful somewhere else. Been meaning to write this, but it's a consideration with Sark. He may have to clear the building before the culture changes. Rhule had to at Baylor, and that first year was brutal.
  16. I used to have a truck like that.
  17. No idea what to make of the next OU hire. It's been over twenty years since they've done a coaching search. Stoops can do the bowl game, but he's gained 30+ pounds and has been enjoying the good life. He's made his money, & can't imagine him wanting to jump back into the grind, long term. There's not a slam dunk hire out there. It's a dangerous time for the Sooners.
  18. Don Knotts nailed more pussy than John Holmes ever thought about.
  19. Wouldn't surprise me to see Thompson portal out. He's been busting his ass with an injured throwing hand, and Sark hasn't defended him at all in any of his pressers, and it looks like he's looking for ANYONE to replace him. Dude's leading the B12 in touchdown passes, and he's been running for his life and wearing 275 pound defensive end necklaces all season. He's got Worthy and the butterfingers squad for receivers. Worthy's good, but you've got to have more than one guy who's a threat.
  20. Added to that, Dillon Doyle is a starting linebacker, and came from Iowa when his dad got fired there. Drew Estrada has gotten extensive playing time at inside receiver. Siaki Ika came from LSU. The first red flag for me was when Sark didn't hit for offensive linemen in the portal, deciding to stand pat. Also, if the UT strength and conditioning program was worth a shit, they'd have three more wins this year. The Horns need to portal in a S&C coach.
