VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP Convention Site in Charlotte, NC
Aug 24, 2020 View in browser B Y JAKE SHERMAN , ANNA PALMER , GARRETT ROSS A N D E L I O K U N Presented by THE MESSAGE? … VP MIKE PENCE at the GOP convention site in Charlotte, N.C.: “We’re going to make America great again -- again.” Republicans officially nominated President DONALD TRUMP and PENCE for a second term today. THE PRESIDENT visited the site early this afternoon. “Think about your life just prior to the plague," he told the crowd. This week’s schedule and speakers THIS MORNING WAS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE for the legion of political observers who believe some high-profile congressional hearings turn out to be a waste of time. MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE spent the morning lecturing Postmaster General LOUIS DEJOY about the USPS -- oftentimes without asking a single question. When they asked questions, they sometimes sounded like this: Do you believe you need to follow the law? Is your backup plan to be pardoned like Roger Stone, Rep. JIM COOPER (D-Tenn.) asked? Why are the Democrats out to get you, Rep. JIM JORDAN (R-Ohio) queried? Why doesn’t this hearing about the USPS include debate about the PPP -- it’s a “waste of time,” Rep. CHIP ROY (R-Texas) said. In addition, the hearing was riddled with technical difficulties. REP. STEPHEN LYNCH (D-Mass.) asked if DEJOY would replace removed sorting machines -- DEJOY said no, but they couldn’t get around to figuring out why, because LYNCH had used up all of his time. MEANWHILE, millions of Americans are wondering if their prescription drugs are going to get delivered, if their mail-in votes will actually be counted and what elected officials are actually doing to make their lives better in the middle of a pandemic and economic recession. -
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 7, No. 5 (1985) THE 1920s ALL-PROS IN RETROSPECT By Bob Carroll Arguments over who was the best tackle – quarterback – placekicker – water boy – will never cease. Nor should they. They're half the fun. But those that try to rank a player in the 1980s against one from the 1940s border on the absurd. Different conditions produce different results. The game is different in 1985 from that played even in 1970. Nevertheless, you'd think we could reach some kind of agreement as to the best players of a given decade. Well, you'd also think we could conquer the common cold. Conditions change quite a bit even in a ten-year span. Pro football grew up a lot in the 1920s. All things considered, it's probably safe to say the quality of play was better in 1929 than in 1920, but don't bet the mortgage. The most-widely published attempt to identify the best players of the 1920s was that chosen by the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee in celebration of the NFL's first 50 years. They selected the following 18-man roster: E: Guy Chamberlin C: George Trafton Lavie Dilweg B: Jim Conzelman George Halas Paddy Driscoll T: Ed Healey Red Grange Wilbur Henry Joe Guyon Cal Hubbard Curly Lambeau Steve Owen Ernie Nevers G: Hunk Anderson Jim Thorpe Walt Kiesling Mike Michalske Three things about this roster are striking. First, the selectors leaned heavily on men already enshrined in the Hall of Fame. There's logic to that, of course, but the scary part is that it looks like they didn't do much original research. -
Mcafee Takes a Handoff from Sid Luckman (1947)
by Jim Ridgeway George McAfee takes a handoff from Sid Luckman (1947). Ironton, a small city in Southern Ohio, is known throughout the state for its high school football program. Coach Bob Lutz, head coach at Ironton High School since 1972, has won more football games than any coach in Ohio high school history. Ironton High School has been a regular in the state football playoffs since the tournament’s inception in 1972, with the school winning state titles in 1979 and 1989. Long before the hiring of Bob Lutz and the outstanding title teams of 1979 and 1989, Ironton High School fielded what might have been the greatest gridiron squad in school history. This nearly-forgotten Tiger squad was coached by a man who would become an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns, general manager of the Buffalo Bills and the second director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The squad featured three brothers, two of which would become NFL players, in its starting eleven. One of the brothers would earn All-Ohio, All-American and All-Pro honors before his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. This story is a tribute to the greatest player in Ironton High School football history, his family, his high school coach and the 1935 Ironton High School gridiron squad. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the undefeated and untied Ironton High School football team featuring three players with the last name of McAfee. It was Ironton High School’s first perfect football season, and the school would not see another such gridiron season until 1978. -

NARRATOR: "It may go down as the religious liberty case of the twentieth century ••• The decision marks the first time, humanism, including secular humanism, has been recognized and defined as a religion.

Motion to Strike
GRIG(, ~~~AL BEFORE THE ggy4 1989 COPYRIGHT ROYALTY TRIBUNAL Washington, D.C. 20036 In the Matter of ) ) Docket No. CRT-89-2 87CD Distribution of 1987 ) Cable Royalty Fund ) ) MOTION TO STRIKE The Settling Devotional Claimants, through counsel, hereby move to strike the following parts of the Direct Case for Christian Television Corporation ("CTC"): A. Testimon of Robert T. Kenned 1. The last sentence of the third full paragraph on page 2 should be stricken. The sentence reads as follows: we increased our cable coverage 62% (from January to November, 1987)." This statement lumps together carriage of CTC's programs on both local and distant signals. It is irrelevant to the Tribunal's determination concerning the marketplace value of CTC's programs solely on distant broadcast signals. Indeed, the sentence tends to confuse the issues by failing to distinguish local from distant signal carriage, and should therefore be stricken from testimony presented to the Tribunal. 2. The last sentence of the fourth full paragraph on page 4 should be stricken. The sentence reads: "CTC programming is a special benefit in that, we offer 168 hours of Christian programming per week, 46-1/2 hours of which is CTC-produced original programming." (emphases omitted). This statement does not report cable carriage of distant signals. Rather, it relates either to carriage of CTC's programs on CTC's own satellite network or to carriage on CTC's own broadcast station. The amount, of programming on the network and station have absolutely no bearing on the Tribunal's determination and should be stricken from the record. -
