Why is it that the side characters of the strange man saga are 100 times more interesting than the protagonist.

Like i kid you now, i gave more of a fuck about Regan, Anderson, D, Anne and Duke.

Well, at least more than bland ass generic David and bitchy spoiled little SHIT Sophie #fucksophie

Also, while im at it, heres my tierlist abt it.

Miami Dolphins helmet designs commemorating the 50th anniversary of their perfect season.

In the 1972 season, the Dolphins went 14–0 in the regular season and won all three postseason games which included Super Bowl VII, finishing 17–0 marking the only undefeated season in NFL history. They led the league in total offense, total defense, scoring offense, and scoring defense, the only team ever to do so.

The Asheville Citizen - July 23, 1955

A month ago, my friend and I made a birthday video for Uri. We (read: I) weren’t pleased with the initial result as the video was rushed/made under a day and a half to get it published on her birthday. So, we decided to try and redo it!

A month and a few days later, we finally finished remaking it! There are still some odd typos and additional words that completely got past us during editing, but it’s done~ Here is the link to the video if anyone would like to see it!

Thank you so much again to Max, Nurvuss, Adox, Cy, Manly, choco.lait, Noey and Tobby for participating in this little project!! I appreciate it loads!

The Sandusky Trial

A Tragedy Compounded

Frank Fitzpatrick in today’s Phila. Inquirer takes a shot at Joe Paterno and his coaching staff. His column was prompted by the testimony of former assistants Dick Anderson and Booker Brooks, who took the stand yesterday. Unfortunately, both of these old men came across as naïve and/or out of touch with today’s world. In testimony that I would describe as skeevy, both said they found nothing wrong with adults showering with young boys and girls. In fact, Brooks said he takes his granddaughter to the YMCA, and since she’s not old enough to go into a room by herself, he showers with her. Anderson said he has showered at the same time as young boys at the Y.

On further consideration, this may be more an indictment of whatever YMCA they attend – State College? – than of Anderson and Brooks. However, it demonstrates that these men, both in their 70s, have lost touch with today’s mores and attitudes. They are typical of the coaches Paterno brought to work with him, most of whom stayed for decades, growing old along with the head man. As Fitzpatrick suggests, JoePa created an insular world whose occupants were of a similar mindset, and who tended to ignore aspects of society that did not directly impact their football program.

I graduated from Penn State the same year as Dick Anderson. He played tight end and was captain of the team his senior season – 1962. I worked out in the Rec Hall weight room several times when he was there with other players. He seemed quiet, dedicated, and yes, intelligent. He was obviously an excellent coach and even had a five-year run as head coach at Rutgers in the late ‘80s before returning to Penn State, his tail pretty much between his legs.

But time and 18-hour days in State’s football complex may have blurred his vision of the world. As Fitzpatrick’s piece suggests, this myopia could very well have contributed to the tragedy that has come crashing down on my beloved alma mater. The indication that it could have been prevented by a more alert group of coaches makes the whole situation even more tragic.
