March 8, 1926: Robert Goddard in Auburn, Mass., with the liquid-fuel rocket he invented, in a photo taken by his wife, Esther. He makes a test-launch of the revolutionary deviceβ€”and it fails. He’ll try again next week.

Oh really?

Ask a Pittsburgh fan about 1991.

Ask a Los Angeles fan about 2012.

Ask a Washington fan about 2018.

Ask a St. Louis fan about 2019.

The 1st Cup is always the greatest moment in a team's history.

Trust me: I was a Devils fan from Day One, October 5, 1982, and nothing -- not even the Adam Henrique Game in 2012 -- will ever top June 24, 1995, 11:09 PM. Don't bet me on the time.

The genius of this film is that Robin got to be Robin Williams enough, and he still stepped back enough to let Nathan be Nathan Lane.

It would be verrrry intereshting if, after all the fuss over the Bills' last season at Rich Stadium (which is how it will be remembered), it's the Sabres that end up winning a title in calendar year 2026.

My mother turns 79 in a few days. She's not a great driver. But not only would she vote to the left of Bernie Sanders (especially on guns), she would make the compromises Bernie wouldn't make in order to make a good but not great bill pass.

Red Grange told the story of being next to Halas in a urinal, and seeing him throw 2 quarters in. This was in the Depression.

Knowing Halas already had the cheap reputation, Grange asked about it.

"Red, I saw a dime in there. I wouldn't stick my hand in there for a dime, but I would for 60 cents!"

I don't know that he did terrible things. But he was SO cheap!

How cheap WAS he? Mike Ditka, who loved him, said, "George Halas throws nickels around like manhole covers."

And yet, he paid for all of Brian Piccolo's medical care, and his funeral.

Anybody who was paying attention in Trump's 1st term.

And in Bush's 2nd term.

Our bases are being bombed.
Our embassies are under attack.
Thousands of Americans are stranded.
Innocent Iranians are being murdered.
We’re spending $1B a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others.

And where is Trump?

Golfing.

He was a great guy then. What happened?

Same thing that happened to Charlie Comiskey, once the best 1st baseman who'd ever played to that point, and to a once-great end named George Halas: Becoming an owner changed them.

That's one disadvantage to having so many old buildings.

The Taylor Report wasn't just about Hillsborough, it was about Valley Parade, too. Britain didn't have a concrete & steel stadium revolution like the U.S. did from 1909 through all those World War I "Memorial Stadiums" of the 1920s.

Happy 90th Birthday to Paterson, New Jersey native Sue Ann Langdon. She hasn't acted since 1990, but she is still alive.

She slapped Elvis!

Bader's gotta re-style that hair, get the frace bronzer, AND have bandages on his ear and hand if he's gonna nail the impersonation.

Number 12: Wayne Cashman, who retired in 1983 as the last remaining player from the NHL's "Original Six" era.

Glasgow does have a reputation for organized crime activity. Maybe it was just carelessness.

But if a major train station has to be closed, even if there isn't any major damage, that's going to mess a lot of people up.

"What are you talking about, gaffer?" asks Bukayo Saka. "You didn't lose. You held Spurs off for 94 minutes before they equalized. You even scored in the 10th!"

"Yes," says Arteta, "but I got sent off in the 12th."
