  • The Look Man Report 2006 Week IX: the Great Escape OPENING
    The Look Man Report 2006 Week IX: The Great Escape "I don't think there's anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers... I mean Chargers." – Chowds head coach Bill (Dr. Evil) Belichick OPENING As the Look Man was cruising cable this week, he stumbled upon a movie that is mandatory viewing any time it is on. Although any Steve McQueen movie probably falls within this category, The Great Escape from 1963 is a John Sturges film about a group of allied POWs who are moved to an ‘escape proof' camp in WWII. Their leader formulates a plan to take out 250 veterans in a daring escape. The film features an all- star cast including McQueen, Jim Garner, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn as key players in the plot. It is only fitting that the LMR feature the celebration of veterans in November because “…you play with the football team you have, not the one you would like to have.” The movie plays like an NFL contest, with the first half fleshing out the characters in a comedic turn designed to set up part two. The second half escalates into the high adventure associated with the prisoners risking life and limb as they try to get out of Nazi-occupied territory. Week Nine in the NFL was a lot like the movie. Cincinnati, Cleveland, and da Burgh had error-plagued first halves before settling down to attempt victory against dramatic odds. They joined the ATL in falling to defeat while attempting to tunnel under the fence. As a result, they could end up with Virgil Hilts, bouncing and catching footballs off the walls of the postseason cooler.

If you enjoyed this book, please return to Smashwords.com to discover other works by this author. Thank you for your support. Advice If you stop on a highway to help someone, be careful. I have read many, many newspaper articles about Good Samaritans being hit and injured or killed by vehicles when they stop to help someone. Sometimes, the best thing to do is simply to call 911 or whatever your country’s emergency number is. ••• The Kindest People: Be Excellent to Each Other (Volume 6) Chapter 1: Stories 1-50 “It’s a Great Thing that People Actually Stopped to Help” On 20 February 2014 on State Road 836 in Florida, Pamela Rauseo, age 37, hit the brakes and got out of her car. Miami Herald photojournalist Al Diaz, who was in the car behind her, said, “A woman pops out of the car and starts screaming, ‘My baby can’t breathe! My baby can’t breathe! Call 911!’” The baby was Ms. Rauseo’s five-month-old nephew, Sebastian De La Cruz. A woman named Lucila Godoy ran over to help as Ms. Rauseo performed CPR; Sweetwater Police Officer Amauris Bastidas also gave chest compressions. (Mr. Diaz had jogged through traffic lanes to find more help; he summoned Officer Bastidas to the scene.) The baby’s life was saved; Miami Fire Rescue took the baby, who was born prematurely and with respiratory issues, to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Pediatrics Unit, where a spokesperson said the baby’s condition was stable.

  • Dan Marino Threw a Then-Record 48 Touchdown Passes
    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2019-2020 EDITIOn MIAMI DOLPHInS Team History No pro football club in history ever advanced more quickly from the first-year dregs every expansion team faces to the ultimate achievement in its sport than the Miami Dolphins did in the six-year period between 1966 and 1972. In 1966, they began their pro football life as the ninth member of the American Football League. Six years later, Miami became the only National Football League team ever to record a perfect season. The 1972 Miami Dolphins won the AFC Eastern division and AFC championships and then defeated the Washington Redskins 14-7 in Super Bowl VII to complete an unblemished 17-0-0 record. The Dolphins, who were founded by Joseph Robbie, also got off to a perfect start in the first game of their first AFL season when running back Joe Auer returned the opening kickoff for a 95-yard touchdown against the Oakland Raiders. But the Miami team returned to reality even before the end of its first game. Oakland rallied to win and the Dolphins finished their first season with a 4-10 record. George Wilson was the Dolphins’ first coach. He finished his four-year AFL tenure after the 1969 season with a 15-39-2 record. But those were not wasted years for the Dolphins because they were steadily adding new talent -- quarterback Bob Griese in 1967, running back Larry Csonka in 1968 and guard Larry Little in 1969 -- that would eventually turn them into winners. The transition from losing to winning came in just one season in 1970 when new coach Don Shula led the Dolphins to an AFC wild-card playoff berth with a 10-4 record.
