Forest Whitaker's favoured to get the Best Actor Oscar tonight for The Last King of Scotland ... but Lincoln High's offensive backfield would argue that Ridgemont's Charles Jefferson was a bigger terror than Idi Amin. Other short stuff for your Sunday aft.:
- Let's assume it was a coincidence that this blog was threatened by a certain beer baron's representatives the same week said beer baron was being profiled in the Globe and Mail's Report on Business.
- Paul Zimmerman, S.I.'s Dr. Z, is going on a six-month sabbatical, but not before letting us in on what football was like in the bad old days, when coaches such as Weeb Ewbank would let coaches see the game films:
"So he brought all the writers into the film room and we watched the game close-ups, and oh my God, I'll never forget the lunatic violence I saw that day. The play I'll always remember was Raider DT Dan Birdwell winding up and landing a full uppercut to Joe Namath's groin, after he'd delivered the ball. Jacknifed Joe Willie right over, but he staggered to his feet and stayed in the game. What was the AFL's reaction to this stuff? Fined the Jets for showing us game films." - Cyberbuzz.tv has the purported prototypes for the new 'sleeker' NHL uniforms -- the Canucks may go back to the old blue-and-green. (Via Mirtle.)
