@thrashman10 There is a part of NE Texas that produced unimaginable running back talent for a special time.

In my research of the 83 Daingerfield team, I obviously was looking at a few seasons before to follow Thomas Everett’s arc, and the talent out of East Texas at that time was mind blowing. Pre-dated a few years my Billy Simms and Earl Campbell, but his senior year Edwin Simmons was THE biggest prospect in Texas in a talent pool that went deep.

According to Henry Fonda, Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968) ran four years at the same theater in Paris. The identical thing happened in Berlin. It was one of the all-time grossing pictures in Europe, South America, and Japan. But it was a big failure in the USA. Audiences at home simply would not accept Henry Fonda shooting a helpless child in cold blood. The film may be seen on late-night television in the United States, but just as Fonda draws his gun, stations all over the country cut to commercials. ("Fonda My Life", Henry Fonda & Howard Teichmann, 1981) P.S: Remembering the great American actor Henry Fonda on his 121st birthday!

There might have been better football games in Texas High School Football history, but the atmosphere, crowd, back and forth battle, and for sheer fun and enjoyment, this was the most memorable game I ever watched live. It was billed Dexter Butler vs Dane Johnson but it was a total team vs team - coach vs coach battle where every single play seemed to hold maximum importance.

@kevin_nealon You’re becoming one of the masters; I swear. If you didn’t personally still owe me money, I’d push you more.

@KevG163 10 year old me sat alone one lonely afternoon bemoaning the ending of the season, and had the name of a player I didn’t really know well, seared into my memory bank for life. Watching his game arc was rocket fuel to my imagination.

Happy Birthday, Pat McInally! The #Bengals' 10-year punter/receiver — a 1981 Pro Bowler, First-Team All-Pro, and AFC Champion In 1980's final week, Pat put on a resilient performance for the ages. • Knocked unconscious after taking one of NFL history's most vicious hits early in the game, laid motionless for 10 minutes, and was then carted off • Returned to punt in the second quarter, drawing a roughing the kicker call • Returned as a receiver in the third quarter and made a SPECTACULAR over-the-head game-tying 59-yard touchdown reception

@MatthewModine Terry Davis and I often talk about how you were the perfect choice for Louden. You captured all his essence from the character in the book. Heck of a screenplay written from it as well.

I’m often asked about the pegboard scene in VISION QUEST. That was all me. No stunt doubles or safety measures. I trained for a long time and had to climb it several times to get all the angles. The “trick” is not to over extend, so you’d be pulling up your entire body weight. You have to keep it compact. Arms and elbows tight. 💪🏽 You can support the @FMJDiary project by bidding on a signed VQ poster here: ebay.com/itm/2062521319…

A Texas side note - on the KC defense was #1983Daingerfield captain Eric Everett, #39, but his teammate was former rival from the 1983 3A Texas state championship game against Sweeny, Tracy Simien, #54.

Carthage scored a passing touchdown on them in game 3. A pass from Rougley to Wyche. Extra point failed. The other 2 points was game 1 against Kilgore when a bad snap went over Pittman’s head during a punt. Tony Evans and Gene Rowe were the only two 1,000 yard rushers on the team, but they did have an active 6 deep running back rotation. Book coming out this fall and movie is in development. give.glu.love/portfolio/

@BranSanders Well, here's a stat that might blow your mind... Peyton Manning was the last QB drafted first overall who won a Super Bowl with the team that drafted him. Since then 20 number-one quarterbacks have not (14 since Eli Manning, whose brief holdout led to a trade from San Diego).

After all this time, and data from decades to pull from, there still isn’t an algorithm strong enough to make drafting, especially an overall #1 Quarterback a sure thing. The quantification that we really enjoy is still a huge mystery. That’s sort of beautiful when you think an out it. Until of course, Musk Optimus robots start their own league and it’s rote by the book 10101
