The unvarnished look of NFL Sunday, 55 years ago today No-flag facemasks and savage tackling, body slams and late hits, touchdown taunting, rumbling fullbacks, and quarterbacks running for their collective lives November 7, 1971

🇺🇸🗳️On November 8, 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy was elected the 35th President of the United States, defeating Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. At 43, Kennedy became the youngest candidate ever elected to the U.S. Presidency

Y’all got that? Colom (kuh-LOAM).

Per @DecisionDeskHQ: "The shifts and totals so far heavily indicate that Scott Colom will be the next senator."

In the first part of his interview with @margbrennan, former White House senior adviser and prominent MAHA advocate Calley Means, who also served as a top aide to HHS Secretary RFK Jr., discussed Susie Wiles’ departure as chief of staff. He also alleged lobbyist influence on White House policy decisions.

Rep. French Hill (R-AR) says “I want to hear the debate on it” when asked whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be impeached, as GOP Rep. Thomas Massie pushes for his removal. Asked by @margbrennan whether he is satisfied with how the war with Iran has been handled, Hill said, "No," but added that President Trump “has to take responsibility” for the war's strategy. “If you don't think he's done a good job conducting his job, that doesn't mean he's committed an impeachable offense,” Hill says, adding, “If he’s not conducting his mission in the right way, then the president ought to make a change there.”

"Ray Nitschke had great study habits and analyzed as much film as Bart Starr. Nitschke used to drive Vince Lombardi crazy during practice because he was able to call out all the offensive plays before the snap. He would run around screaming: "Watch out for the pass; ]Watch out for the draw!" Vince would scream at him to shut up. Ray would just grin, and after a play or two Lombardi would start screaming again. The most amazing thing about Nitschke is that he played his entire career on one leg. Ray Nitschke`s left leg had been injured so much in High School and in College that the muscles had atrophied and never fully regenerated. His left leg was 50% smaller than his right leg." Domenic Gentile. Green Bay Packer's trainer. "Sometimes I thought of Ray Nitschke as more of an opponent than a teammate, he inflicted so much damage in practice. He and Jimmy Taylor just didn’t know what it was like to brother-in-law, to ease up." "Instant Replay" Jerry Kramer. On July 2, 1963 a metal tower on the Packers practice field fell over on top of Ray Nitschke. The tower drove a spike into Nitschke's helmet, but didn't injure him. Lombardi ran over to see what had happened, but when told it had fallen on Ray Nitschke, Lombardi said: "He'll be fine. Get back to work!" Ray Nitschke's helmet with the hole is currently on display in the Packer Hall of Fame in Green Bay. Nitschke and Lombardi.

It's that time of year once again! #OTD 1938 - Fred Haney is signed as manager of the St. Louis Browns. Years later, he would portray Mr. Haney on the classic TV comedy - Green Acres.🤣

November 7th 1967 The Beatles finished recording ‘Blue Jay Way’, ‘Flying’ and ‘Magical Mystery Tour.’ The Beatles have only six songs, not enough for an album so they decided to issue a double-EP. Capitol Records didn’t think the double-EP format would be acceptable for the US market, so they decide to put out an album instead. The six "Magical Mystery Tour" songs with five of the six songs from The Beatles' 1967 singles went on side two.

This is a letter from the Owner/President of the Cardinals (Sam Breadon) to Stan Musial before the 1943 season. All Stan did that year: Led the league in hits, doubles, triples, BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, OPS+ and TB. Oh, he won the MVP as well! #STLCards

My campaign and others complained about this for months. This should’ve been a national story. Thank God @MSTODAYnews reported it and we and others were able to try to reach these voters. Local journalism matters!

Universal didn’t want Sally Field in Smokey and the Bandit because they didn’t think she was “sexy” enough... the idiots Burt Reynolds and Field winged it; they just jumped in the Trans Am and tried to make each other laugh. What we get is two people falling in love in real time.

The poignant and sweet last bit of public film of Laurel and Hardy , 1956, by filmmaker John Wade. Though both were ailing, it shows their humor and love for each other. The familiar nods and fiddling of Stan's tie... A final, fragile glimpse of two souls who had spent a lifetime making the world - and each other - laugh. Perfectly timeless.... x.com/Noirchick1/status/2018…

Rare photo of 19 year-old Ted Simmons at spring training in 1969. He didn't make the team, but the next season he did - and started his path to the Hall of Fame. #STLCards

"Babe Ruth once suffered the humiliation of having the great Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators throw three straight fastballs past him. Ruth asked the umpire if he had seen any of the pitches. “No,” replied the umpire. “Neither did I,” said Ruth, “but that last one sounded kinda high to me.” Posing with their prize winning Roosters!! Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson.
