Speaking of John Wayne...

This is a story that my brother told me about, related by a stuntman who worked with John Wayne on several movies.

Story was that Wayne and a group of actors and stuntmen were playing poker in a hotel room. One of the stuntmen (who'd had a few) decided to play a little game with The Duke.

The stuntman said he had a wager for him. He wanted to bet Wayne a thousand bucks that he could draw a line on the floor, stand directly across from Wayne on the other side of the line, and Wayne wouldn't be able to punch him. After thinking about it for a moment and wondering what the guy had in mind, Wayne agreed to the bet.

So the guy went over to the bathroom door and drew the line in the doorway. Wayne came over and stood on the other side of it.

The stuntman smiled, shut the door, said "Okay, go" and started laughing.

Wayne stood there for a moment, gave it some thought, looked over at the other guys still sitting at the poker table, and then looked back at the closed door.

Then he balled up his right hand, drew back his fist and punched the door with all his might :sosp:

The door came off its hinges, smacked the stuntman in the face, busted his nose and knocked him backward into the hotel bathtub.

The guy who told the story thought it was one of the funniest things he'd ever seen. he didn't know why Wayne didn't put it in one of his movies.

That's who John Wayne was :yesnod:

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By CRA · Posted

      Canales has never been part of big YAC offenses in the NFL.  That’s not his tree.  Not in Seattle, Tampa or here.  Every O he has been associated with basically has been bottom half of the league in YAC.  That’s what Bryce needs to happen though  2 very different things

      Well, his job is to win and make Bryce better and other stuff too but he has to have a certain amount of buy in to make that work. If it is real or he has to talk himself into believing it, as coach and leader and in the context of the present time with the whole team needing to believe, who knows? You lie if you have to.  I think you have have to separate that Canales from the detached offseason evaluation Canales. It is possible that you are correct and he is sold on Bryce. It is also possible that he isn’t, but cannot confess.

      Ah yes, the old "accuse your opponent of what you're actually trying to do" tactic. Always amusing 😄 You wanna drop out? No problem, but you should probably do so by just admitting the conversation is over your head.  Though truth be told, even if you don't wanna admit it, I'm pretty sure anyone reading this, watching you dodge the questions and just cut and paste the same recycled answers over and over again can probably already see that 😆
