Very Cool Things

The best – just the best.  Thank you, LA Lakers.

 

 

And some sadness because Gayle Sayers passed away today after a long illness.  Anyone who doesn’t start sobbing at the mention of “I loved Brian Picalo,” just didn’t live in the right time.

  1. With 22 touchdowns in 132 points in his rookie year, Gale Sayers was a phenomenal football player. If you know anything about Brian Piccolo you also know he was an incredible person. The story of his battle with dementia is worth reading about.

  2. That book about Brian Piccolo is where I first fell in love with sports stories even though I am not a sports fan. (Sorry folks, my dad was a coach, referee and player of all things sports and I grew up on bleachers, so got my fill).

    Sad losses this past week. Remembering them all.

    I’m also thinking abou Breonna Taylor’s death. Apparently the police, prosecutors (in what they chose to present) and citizens on the Louisville grand jury felt her death was what needed to happen. She got killed even though the police were looking for a man, then they did nothing to help save her. What’s wrong with that picture.

  4. Yeah, the Babylon Bee is satire

    Brian was a salty dude. In the fullness of time he has become an icon and an example of fortitude, gratitude & attitude. He lives, like Sayers, on the pages of History.

  6. The collar pic is from the Babylon Bee, which is a satire site. So, sorry, but not really happening. It would be great if it were, though!

    Given the number of make believe stories the Republicans willingly believe when told by the POTUS, why not like an image, and wish it were true. Maybe the Lakers didn’t wear them, but lots of liberals are wearing them, or remembering those lace collars and the grandeur of the woman who wore them. Better a lace collar as a token of respect than what the GOP might wear in honor of Trump. What would that be? A hamburger? A golf club? Lying pants on fire?

    @Susan Dress:

    The hangman’s noose would more be a better way to honor Cheeto Jesus’ strangling our democracy.

    The Senate won’t be honoring RBG with a resolution because of Texas’s junior senator.
