Pity...

[Avante]

We'll ignore your stupidity but there is something there.

When I first starting playing football my hero was number 22 with the Rams, Dick Bass. He was a quick darter.

As a trackster my hero was Bullet Bob Hayes. Who was also number 22 as a footballer. Pigeoned toes and all.

As a bodybuiler I admired the great Cuban Sergio Olivia.

My fav poet was the great Langston Hughes.

Right now on the walls of my Fortress of Solitude, there are pin ups/posters/pictures of...

Muddy Waters
Yohan Blake
Jim Brown
Gale Sayers
John Lee Hooker
Lightnin' Hopkins
Usain Bolt
Jerry Rice
Justin Gatlin
Tyson Gay
Asafa Powell
Howlin' Wolf

My favorite song, is this one....

I always have fun with...."you Googled that"...ha~~~~ For some unknown reason people struggle with...long time fan here.......why I don't know.

I was into the NFL in 1959, when I was 10 years old. I saw Roger Staubach play for Navy, saw O.J.Simpson run track for San Francisco City College. I remembrer when there were no Dallas Cowboys. So if ya pay attention you're going to learn some things.


The old AFL

East

New York Titans
Boston Patriots
Buffalo Bills
Houston Oilers

West

Dallas Texans....KC Chiefs to be.
LA Chargers
Denver Broncos
Oakland Raiders.....who came real close to being called ..Oakland Senors.

Abner Haynes a RB out of North Texas St was the first 'star", he was a Texan. The first "great" player however to come out of the AFL was Charger receiver Lance Alworth.

In 1960 the NFL looked like this.

East

Philly Eagles
Wash Redskins
Cleveland Browns
New York Giants
St. Louis Cardinals
Pittsburgh Steelers

West

GB Packers
Det Lions
Niners
Baltimore Colts
Chicago Bears
LA Rams
Dallas Cowboys.....they would switch to the East in 61

[Avante]

So who can tell me who the fastest white NFL player was?

[DJR210]

Damn.. Your death can't come soon enough.

[Avante]

Damn.. Your death can't come soon enough.

You really take this stuff this serious ya little freak? Why not just stop reading me, well? Ever notice I never talk to you unless you are bugging me, why is that? Yep, it's because you're a whiny little faggot always wahwahwahing about something.

Go bug others more like yourself ok ya fucking loser? And lose that confederate flag asshole, ok? You really that stupid? Go talk razors and farting and all thar other stupid shit here, ok moron?

Never seen a place where so many know so little.

[Avante]

I'm going to share some movies I found fascinating I doubt few here are aware of, starting with this one.

Saw this at a walk in in 1960, cost a quarter and it was the only place in town ya could buy a foot long hot dog. This flick is amazing.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJI3tBk5rBI

[Avante]

Just think if Hollywood ever put out....The Life and Times of Mohammad The Prophet...telling the true story, that studio would be blown up as would any theaters the movie played in, yep, those freaks are that far gone. The actor who played Mohammad....beheaded.

Anyone here know the true story? There is a belief that he might have suffered from some mental disorder like bipolar.

No single person ever perpurtrated a greater hoax than he did with Islam. A huge pack of lies.

Ok...we'll go with this. When I was little, my neighbors were such over the top Cowboy fans that it made me look for other teams to root for.


For some reason, I liked the Rams, Seahawks, and Bears. So, Pat Haden, Jim Zorn, Largent, Payton...those are the guys I pretended to be.
And the Oilers after that. Earl, Pastorini, Whiteshoes Johnson. Kenny Borroughs.

finally got over the Cowboy thing. About the time that Aikman, Irvin, and Emmit joined.

The weird thing for me was I was a Niner fan, I just didn't run like J.D.Smith. I was a darter like Dick Bass. A stop and starter, cut and go.

Ken Burrough a 9.4 cat out of Texas Southern. Billy "White Shoes" Johnson played at a tiny little shool, what he did in that league was amazing.

My fav Cowboy was number 43 Don Perkins.

Why? The Ice Man.

Newhouse was a stump, talk about thunder thighs, damn! Came out of Houston.

[Avante]

True or false?

Choo Choo Winters was a big fast black RB for Nebraska way back when. He was going to be the next big thing, he dragged tacklers. So there's Choo Choo out with a white girl, her brother had told her to stay away from black guys, she didn't listen. So her brother and some of his buddies beat Choo Choo up so bad he could never play football again.

[SpursforSix]

Why would you?

I didn't specifically. But "ebony dicks" was decidedly NSFW.

[Avante]

So you would have told all those sailors coming back off liberty bragging about their night that they were all pedos? As you stayed on board the ship....right?

[Clipper Nation]

FIFY

Hey Avante, I almost broke into a smile today, saw a little dog ran over by a truck. Almost, it was close, and I did grin once some years ago, heard my granny had cancer.

[DJR210]

So you would have told all those sailors coming back off liberty bragging about their night that they were all pedos? As you stayed on board the ship....right?

What? Can't make the list? And I thought you were a historian.

[Avante]

What? Can't make the list? And I thought you were a historian.

I'll try again.

So if you had been in the Navy in the early 70's all those sailors coming off liberty talking about their sexual exploits you would have told them they were are pedos, right? Answer the question, ok?

Little man, do you honestly believe us sailors passed on the full grown women for little inexperienced under developed girls? You really this fucking dense?

I cannot believe how many here can be this fucking stupid about this.

A black QB is the only undefeated QB in the NFC.

A black QB is on the number one NCAA team in the nation.

Hmmm?

[Avante]

Talking music.

I grew up listening to what my parents listened to, as starters. In our house it was Hank Williams, RoY Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry. Yep, started out on country music. And to this day it never got any betterr than those I mentioned.

Ernest Tubb was a big fan of the great Jimmie Rodgers the King of Country, here he is in his first record from 1937, you'dmix this with early Bob Wills and those I mentioned.

Staying in the mood.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx13FKJMTaY

St. Louis Blues a cover of the classic Bessie Smith tune. Emmett Miller (performed in black face) does a fantastic cover.

Mule Skinner Blues a cover of an old Jimmie Rodgers tune.

[Avante]

Emmett Miller was fantastic, he also wrote and recorded "The Lovesick Blues" that Hank Williams made famous.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YshNhnPmo5k

This is the best cover of Lead Bellys "In The Pines" I've heard. Nirvana gave it a try it was ok.

You've probably heard her in movies she is the Queen of that high lonesome sound from the Appalachians*** she is the real deal. The great Hazel Dickens.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg5mymvyb_U


*** some of the most haunting eerie of all American music.


B.F.Shelton, the guy only sang about violence, this a classic.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx7qrhYblq8

This legend only recored 10 songs in 1927 and then just disappeared. He is considered the best example of old time back in them hills music. He was found in the 60's.

Changing the mood.

It's the late 60's, you're driving around up in the hills above Exeter, you and three buddies smoking pot and drinking cheap wine, on the stereo.

I discovered these guys about six montha ago. I really like this.
