Incredible Justin Tucker statistics

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker won another game with a field goal as time expired. He could be the best NFL kicker ever..

Justin Tucker of the @Ravens now has 7 career game-winning field goals with no time left in the 4th quarter in the regular season.

That's the most by any kicker in NFL history.

Tonight was the 4th of those where his team was trailing at the time, also the most ever.

Using @NextGenStats ball tracking data, Justin Tucker's game winning field goal crossed the upright with a y-coordinate (width of field) of 26.52.

The exact middle of the field is y= 26.67

That is, if the uprights were half a yard wide, the kick would have still been good

Baltimore @Ravens #RavensFlock star Justin Tucker @jtuck9 is widely considered the NFL’s best kicker, with a track record to prove it. @hodakotb talked one-on-one with Tucker to uncover his secrets to success. https://t.co/gsUO2gMtaI

I undersold the Justin Tucker streak. He's now made 75 straight field goals in second half and overtime, including 61 straight in the fourth quarter and OT.

GOP governor’s hypocrisy on the American Rescue Plan

Republicans are doing this too for the Infrastructure bill.

Right on cue, Gov Mike DeWine announces $1.7M to 13 first responder agencies in Ohio "to help support the wellness needs of law enforcement officers, dispatchers, firefighters, paramedics & EMTs"
Part of $11M to 58 agencies from Biden's American Rescue Plan – that DeWine opposed

Republicans have increased their tolerance of immoral elected officals

Trump has corrupted them. They’re fine with Herschel Walker too. There’s no bottom for the GOP.

Elected official who acts immorally in their personal life can still behave ethically/fulfill duties in public life:

Republican hypocrisy on infrastructure

Biden names names of Republicans who voted against infrastructure and then asked for money. The President said, "I was surprised to see so many socialists in the Republican caucus." pic.twitter.com/CLz94aCGNb

NEW – dozens of Republicans who last year voted against the bipartisan infrastructure bill, calling it "socialist," "radical spending," spent the past few months quietly lobbying the administration for money out of that bill to come home to them https://t.co/bDkW4P4QIU

Embarrassing John O’Hara incident

In the annals of humiliating things that have happened to drunk writers, this John O'Hara night on the town in the 1940s has to rank high. pic.twitter.com/P9noVUxDbY

O’Hara is in the Princeton Cemetery

Covers: Beautiful Delilah

“Beautiful Delilah” (1958) is a lesser-known Chuck Berry song and it was still covered by the Kinks and the Rolling Stones. Berry wrote and recorded so many great songs.

We have forgotten how great Warren Spahn was

Warren Spahn won 20 games 13 times including once when he was 42!

He won 363 games after not winning one until he was 25 because he was in World War II.

More likely there is something going on. He had phenomenal energy. There is a video of Spahn and Marichal being interviewed after their 16-inning duel in 1963.Marichal looks like he's been dragged behind a horse. Spahn, 17 years older than Marichal, is bouncing around like a kid.

Airplane poop

Lots of stuff on pooping on planes

A thing I think about too often: the time someone did such a bad poop that an airplane had to turn around https://t.co/rhVkjGIqTw

What I remember from an anti-war rally

When I was in high school, I went to an anti-Vietnam war rally in Washington. I don’t recall who the speakers were or anything else about the rally. To be honest, I think some kids went because the drinking age in PA was 21 and the drinking age in DC was 18. ( didn’t drink…yet.)

This is all I remember. We went by bus from the Philadelphia suburbs. The bus pulled over once and kids went off into the woods to go to the bathroom. This old lady (she was probably 35) squatted about 10 feet from the bus to go and had all the kids still on the bus watching her.
