So I shouldn't buy that Pete Rose throwback or the "Mean Machine" #22 I always wanted?? We are talking the original "The longest Yard" not the remake. What a fvcking movie that original was. One of my favorite football movies growing up
I have no issue w Rose gambling, nor do I with the sexual stuff that came about. That was at the height of the sexual revolution/ feminist movement.

It'd be like boycotting Jerry Lee Lewis or Ty Cobb. Men are a product of their times, to judge them thru a basis of one's own era is misguided.

It's why I can never agree with or sympathize with the movement to remove or rename historical figures, plaques, states or places. Once you lose perspective of history, you're bound to repeat it.

Well said.

You have to be a fan of the original Burt Reynolds The Longest Yard??

Never saw the original. I enjoyed the remake, since you vouch for the original I will look for it to watch.
