When he was traded to Dallas he pushed Peter Gent out (also due to injuries)…and then Gent began to write North Dallas Forty
…another fun fact: Peter Gent never played a down of college football yet spent 5 years in the NFL

To multiple young girls on several occasions. He was a sick motherfucker who should have been in jail.

How the hell he ever played again after what happened in Minnesota is beyond reason. (Besides not going to jail) Then it happens again and still nothing. No jail time and in the league for another three years.
I remember seeing an old book of Dallas Cowboys jokes that said Lance Rentzel’s favorite down-and-out pattern wasn’t in the playbook.

Artist David Hockney passed a couple of days ago. I’ve always liked his style, in various media.

I was in Chicago this past week and “Saturday in the Park” kept popping into my head as we explored a few neighborhoods and happened upon various little parks, as well as Millenium Park. Until last week, I had only ever been in the convention area around the river. Didn’t know what a great town I had been missing. Great band and part of the soundtrack of my childhood and adolescence.

My brother and discussed our mutual love for that band, because of our dad’s albums, on the phone last night.

Just learned Burrows was the “in-house” director of Taxi while the Charles brothers were producers (I think they did all episodes together). They wanted more creative control of a series and so the 3 of them created Cheers.

I rewatch the series about once every 10 years with the same nostalgic sense that I reread the Calvin&Hobbs series once per decade.
