crying at the tags on the playlist names post oml. anyway what're your top 5 mountain goats sounds for someone who loves no children and has not heard any other of their songs

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH

Well here is the tmg essentials playlist that I have crafted, which is an hour and a half long (also is the reason my pfp is John Green mountain goats And was mentioned in the playlist tags :])

And as for the top five? Hhh okay.. I want to get a good mix of times and feelings in there as well as try to cover the essential albums uhhh

1. This year | The Sunset Tree | 2005

This is an absolute classic and is great to scream in your head. It's about getting through this year if it kills you!! It's one of my most played songs of all time at this rate (I've streamed it 500+ times apparently??)

2. Get Famous | Getting Into Knives | 2020

I love this one, it's more jazzy than most of their songs and is just very fun. It's not what a lot of their music sounds like but it's a good time.

3. The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton | All Hail West Texas | 2002

I love this album in general, it is very acoustic and every song has its own narrative. This song is the first on the tracklist, and it's a good representative for a lot of their music especially in that time period.

4. Deuteronomy 2:10 | The Life of the World to Come | 2009

Be warned this song will make you fucking cry. Content warning for extinction and animal death. That's all I will say. This song changed my life... I've never been able to listen to this album all the way through cause it's one of their more emotionally heavy ones. By god are some of the songs profoundly sad. Good but devastating.

5. Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1 | Transcendental Youth | 2012

If you like No Children, I must recommend something near it in catharsis. And of course that's Spent Gladiator. This song is like if This Year had an older sister. It's about going through rough shit and thinking you're not gonna make it but you find every way you can to keep going.

Bonus:

Here's the ska cover of no children. Because I love it.

You Were Cool is one of my favorites that they only perform live and haven't released a recording of. You can find videos of it on YouTube! I used one of the lines from it on my graduation cap.

If you do like these songs and want to get more into the mountain goats, I would recommend listening to either:

A Jordan lake sessions album, which are live session recordings they especially did during the height of the pandemic. The whole thing tracks over and has a lot of talking between songs and many of them have a different or more raw take on some of their more popular or personal favorites.

Any of their albums all the way through in order. My top recommendations for this are Tallahassee (which no children is on!), The sunset tree, all hail West Texas, bleed out, heretic pride, and transcendental youth. I do love many of the other albums but these ones are my favorites as a unit.

I know listening to the mountain goats at first can be really intimidating cause their discography is SO BIG (like more than 24 hrs worth of music big) but if you do then you end up with a lot of room to explore! I don't think I've even listened to every song they've made and I've been a fan for a good few years. Like mountain goats fans are super cool about that kind of thing (I know other music fan communities can be the opposite) cause they just love to share even a little love! And if you (or anyone else!!) have any questions or want more playlist suggestions (I have several hyperspecific tmg playlists saved and or made) my inbox is always open :] I love talking about tmg

Super Bowl 2020: Vince Lombardi, the story behind the name on NFL's biggest prize

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/super-bowl-2020-vince-lombardi-the-story-behind-the-name-on-nfls-biggest-prize/

Super Bowl 2020: Vince Lombardi, the story behind the name on NFL's biggest prize

Lombardi’s final role was with Washington Redskins, but he made his name at Green Bay Packers

There is a name that resonates with American football fans across generations. When Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers meet in the Super Bowl on Sunday, the very prize on offer carries it.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Lombardi was a five-time National Football League-winning coach, an icon of the game who is still celebrated half a century on from his death, as the NFL’s 100th season comes to a close.

His legend speaks of a man who inspired players through fear, iron discipline, and confrontational coaching techniques. A leader who took a no-hope Green Bay Packers team and won five titles in seven years between 1961 and 1967.

But beneath the steely exterior of his success are deeper achievements that carry Lombardi’s legacy beyond sport, in battling discrimination, championing equality and breaking down racial barriers.

Maybe Lombardi was always destined to teach.

Born in 1913 New York, the son of an Italian meatpacker who studied for the priesthood in his teens, as a young man Lombardi bounced between career paths. Law school and the world of finance didn’t suit him. But an offer from an old team-mate to become a high school assistant coach lit an old spark.

Lombardi had played American football during high school, and during studies at Fordham University, before later featuring for minor league teams Wilmington Clippers and Brooklyn Eagles. By 1939 – at the age of 26 – he’d left the game behind, in search of a settled job. Instead, it had found him again.

“Once that opportunity came up, he knew it was what he was meant to do,” his son, Vince Lombardi Jr, tells BBC Sport. “He loved to teach and liked coaching.”

Lombardi cut short his own honeymoon to make it back in time for training camp at St Cecilia High School. The foundations of the strict, no-nonsense approach that would later become famous were already being laid, with students recalling weeks of “merciless calisthenics” and long sessions late into the evening.

“He was no different at home to how he was anywhere else,” remembers Lombardi Jr. “For a coach he had two qualities: he was a perfectionist and had a short temper. For him being my father, those weren’t such great qualities.”

Lombardi, pictured here at Fordham University football practice, in September 1936

Lombardi’s knack for getting the best out of his players was obvious. Under his tutelage St Cecilia went 32 games unbeaten and he led the basketball team to the state championship, despite knowing very little about the sport.

A move to Fordham, his old university, followed in 1947, before he took a job as offensive line coach with the US military’s side at West Point two years later.

“I remember going to spring practice, standing on the sidelines at games watching him and realising he was the one in command,” says Lombardi Jr.

Lombardi’s burgeoning reputation earned him a role at the New York Giants in 1954, and then in 1959, at the age of 45, he got his big break. Head coach in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers.

Lombardi’s grandparents may have emigrated to the US from Italy, but he was a born-and-bred New Yorker. It was a bold decision to move his family 1,000 miles away to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

This was Lombardi’s chance to be in control, to lead his own team. It’s just this team were almost broke and coming off the back of the worst season in their history.

Green Bay, perched on the edge of Lake Michigan and home to a Packers side that had not registered a winning season in 12 years, would soon be dubbed ‘Titletown’ thanks to Lombardi’s remarkable success over the next decade.

The rookie boss insisted the Packers would be run on his terms and his impact was instant – Lombardi was named Coach of the Year in his first season, for turning the league’s worst side into one that posted a winning record.

“He brought a degree of excellence to the game,” Jerry Kramer, an offensive lineman pivotal to Lombardi’s side, told an NFL documentary.

“He was a wonderful teacher. He believed teaching was the greatest profession. He said: ‘It’s not coaching, it’s teaching’.”

Lombardi famously commented that by chasing perfection “we can catch excellence”. In return, the disciplinarian coach demanded complete dedication from his players.

Lombardi, pictured following Green Bay’s 1968 Super Bowl title

Defensive tackle Henry Jordan quipped: “Lombardi treat us all the same – like dogs.” But he knew which buttons to press to get the best out of each player.

Kramer recalled a story about how he missed a block and Lombardi came running across the field, stopped 10 inches from his face and screamed: “Mister! The concentration period of a college student is five minutes, for high school it’s three minutes, kindergarten it’s 30 seconds, and you don’t have that? So where’s that put you?”

Later that day Lombardi, showing the empathy that offset his strict nature, found Kramer in the locker room, ruffled his hair and told him he would be the best guard in football one day.

“From that point on, if he believed in me, I could believe in me,” added Kramer, who was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

In Lombardi’s second season, in 1960, the Packers reached the Championship Game only to fall to an agonising defeat by the Philadelphia Eagles. The boss pledged he would never lose another championship match. And he didn’t.

The man dubbed ‘The Pope’, because he would attend mass every day, led Green Bay to their first title in 17 years in 1961 and another the following season, beating his former employers the New York Giants on both occasions.

During that success Lombardi would be pictured smoking on the touchline, something he deemed a personal weakness. Things changed after he received a letter from a concerned mother in 1963, telling him it set a bad example.

“When he got the letter he quit, just took his pack of cigarettes, crushed them up and threw them in the garbage,” says Lombardi Jr.

The assistant coaches at Green Bay, expecting they would take the brunt of their boss going cold turkey, feared him ditching his habit.

“My mother was a prolific smoker, she would light one cigarette as the other goes out,” says Lombardi Jr, recognising how difficult that made it for his father to stop.

“She smoked constantly around him so we said he had to quit every day. He was a chain smoker, so to just roll your pack up and throw it away took a lot of discipline.”

Lombardi also had to suffer seeing the NFL title celebrated elsewhere for the next two seasons. But he and the Packers responded in 1965 by defeating defending champions the Cleveland Browns, and the following year they beat the Kansas City Chiefs to claim the first ever Super Bowl.

Green Bay then made it an unprecedented three titles in a row when they saw off the Oakland Raiders in 1967. It would prove to be Lombardi’s fifth and final NFL crown, as he stepped back to take on general manager duties before leaving for the Washington Redskins in 1969.

But for many, the trophies and titles only tell part of the story. Lombardi was about more than winning.

And so to the other great legacy of Vince Lombardi, whose sporting success came at a time when Jim Crow Laws enforcing racial segregation existed in the southern United States, meaning black players could not stay in the same hotels or drink in the same bars as their white team-mates.

In Green Bay, private housing remained unavailable to a majority of black players, so when Lombardi signed defensive back Emlen Tunnell, who would become the first black player inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he put him up at the plush Hotel Northland.

That didn’t mean the experienced Tunnell escaped Lombardi’s brash and intense manner. He once told a reporter Lombardi was “a real brass, real arrogant”, before adding: “But nobody else can cuss Lombardi out to me. In my heart, I know what he is.”

Lombardi said he saw athletes as “neither black nor white but Packer green” and demanded everyone be treated equally, refusing to allow any kind of prejudice. He told players if he ever heard discriminatory language they would be “through”.

“That goes back to being Italian in New York in the 1920s and ’30s,” says Lombardi Jr, whose father felt he had been overlooked for jobs earlier in his career because of his Italian heritage, and once got into a fight at university after someone mocked his dark complexion.

“Having experienced something like that, his antenna was up. I don’t think it was all that intentional on his part, as much as if you are a good football player and you can contribute to the team that’s all that matters.”

The head coach increased the number of black players on the Packers roster from just one when he arrived in 1959 to almost a third of the 40-plus squad when he left nearly 10 years later, and as his status grew in Green Bay he began to assert change.

Lombardi told restaurant and bar owners that any place not accepting black players was off limits to the whole Packers squad. He demanded all his players have suitable accommodation and informed teams in the south they would not stay anywhere asking for players to be segregated.

“He slowly integrated us into the city,” cornerback Herb Adderley told the Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel in 2012. “He said: ‘If the black players are going to help this team win, the city needs to understand these players need good places to live.'”

In his book Closing the Gap, former Packers defensive end Willie Davis wrote: “Nobody had more impact in creating diversity in the NFL than coach Lombardi.

“Right from the start he treated us as equals, just players competing for a spot on the team. He chose not to see colour in an era where most chose to look the other way.”

Lombardi’s quest for equality stretched further than race. His brother Harold was homosexual and he wanted to create an environment of acceptance within the locker room.

During his one season with the Washington Redskins, Lombardi coached running backs Ray McDonald, who was arrested a year earlier for having sex with another man in public, and Dave Kopay, who would later become the first former NFL player to announce he was gay.

“Vince Lombardi had so much humanity. I was just lucky to be around him,” Kopay told ESPN in 2013. “Back then gay people were almost thought of as deviant. It really was terrible at the time.”

The Vince Lombardi Trophy is up for grabs on Sunday – when Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers meet in Miami

In his biography of Lombardi, When Pride Still Mattered, author David Maraniss says the boss told staff working with McDonald that if he heard any “reference to his manhood, you’ll be out of here before your ass hits the ground”.

The image of a short-tempered, confrontational boss juxtaposed the caring, nurturing mentor beneath and made Lombardi easy to misread. Maraniss says President Richard Nixon once considered him as a potential running mate, only for the Republican to find out Lombardi was a Democrat with close ties to the Kennedy family and someone keen on gun control.

Lombardi’s progressive attitudes came in a period when the US was at war in Vietnam and facing violent protests at home. Sadly, his own life would be cut short.

His death, when it came in 1970, was sudden. At the age of 57 he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of colon cancer, and he died 10 weeks later.

According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, President Nixon told a White House dinner party “in a time when the moral fabric of the country seems to be coming apart” Lombardi was “a man who insisted on discipline and strength”.

In recognition of his achievements, Lombardi was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame and the Super Bowl prize was renamed in his honour.

“It seems so accepted,” says Lombardi Jr.

“But you feel good about how his name is associated with the trophy. With all the positive things associated with what he did.”

Should NFL owners consult fans about whether to sign controversial players?

Welcome to Wednesday War Room, where Yahoo Sports’ NFL experts kick around the key topics of the day. Got a suggestion for a topic? Email us. Today, we’re talking owners seeking fans’ input, and Hall of Fame alpha dogs. Onward! 

Question 1: Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti made headlines this week when he indicated he’d be consulting with fans about whether to sign free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Should an owner or general manager ever seek the input of fans on personnel decisions?

Zach Pereles: No. Never. There’s a reason for GMs, coaches, scouts and players, right? That’s who you consult. Owners don’t ask the public for their opinions on football decisions, just like GMs don’t ask for help on trades, free agents or draft picks, coaches don’t ask for help with depth charts or play-calling. There are people in place for this, and those people are not the general public.

Jordan Schultz: Yes. There is no downside and all upside to affording fans the opportunity to assume the role of GM for a day. Besides, not like there is an obligation to actually listening to the advice. NFL front office jobs—like the NBA—are the ultimate high for fans. Seriously, what fan doesn’t believe he/she can’t step into their favorite team’s building today and start orchestrating a roster?

Realistically, however, the reason these jobs are so hard to come by is because they are that hard to do. The NFL specifically, is a salary-driven league. By opening up a public forum for people to weigh in on which free agent to pursue and sign, teams are allowing their fans into the one place they never get to go. Practices, games, even film sessions thanks to shows like “Hard Knocks” and “All or Nothing”—we’re used to seeing those kind of things. Solicit the advice of your fans and who knows, maybe it will come to something. Worst case scenario though? Your fans are happier with you than they were yesterday. And in this business, that’s always a good thing.

Frank Schwab: No. No, no, no, no. Never. Don’t even think about it. Did I say no? This is one of the worst ideas imaginable. People think they can be general managers because they beat their college buddies in a fantasy league, but scouting players a hard, intensive process. And crowdsourcing moves to gauge fans’ feelings on morality and politics … I shouldn’t have to explain why that’s a nightmare waiting to happen. Make a decision. Live with the consequences and the feedback. You can’t please everyone and you’re an absolute fool if you think it’s smart to check the opinion of millions of fans before signing or drafting someone.

Jay Busbee: Think of the most ridiculous, absurd, nonsensical idea you can imagine—the earth is flat, a hot dog is a sandwich, the greatest album ever recorded is anything other than “Appetite for Destruction”—and then realize that probably a third of your fellow Americans believe that lunacy with all their hearts. Look, I love every one of you reading this, but a good chunk of y’all are flat-out crazy. (Not you. I’m talking about other readers.) A decent chunk of Americans can’t be trusted to turn off the TV when [insert your least-favorite TV show here] comes on, and we’re talking about trusting them with a decision on a football team? Nnnnnope.

In all seriousness, what Bisciotti is doing is just giving himself cover. He knows that a huge chunk of very loud fans will say what he wants to hear, whether it’s in favor of or against signing Kaepernick, and he can just point to that particular noisy chunk to dodge the heat for making the hard decisions on his own. Don’t want to sign Kaepernick? Fine. Stand up and say so yourself, don’t throw the fans out there as cannon fodder to avoid the blowblack.

Shalise Manza-Young: You mean any team that isn’t the Indoor Football League’s Salt Lake Screaming Eagles, which is run entirely by fan vote? No.

Put anybody alongside him, and John Elway will probably outshine them. (AP)

Question 2: Imagine this: you gather every NFL Hall of Famer in one room. They’ve got to choose their own leader. Who comes out of there in charge? Who’s the NFL’s ultimate alpha dog?

Shalise Manza-Young: I’ll admit: I crowd-sourced this one on Twitter, because I was curious to see the answers I’d get (see, I’m not an NFL owner or GM contemplating someone’s employment, so I can do this). Names that came in more than once? Vince Lombardi, Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor, Mean Joe Greene, Deacon Jones, Al Davis. Great choices all. But for myriad reasons, I’ll go with Lombardi. It isn’t just that he was a great football coach; more importantly, he sought the best players, regardless of race, and insisted that they all be treated the same, and not just within the team. Lombardi abhorred Jim Crow laws, making it known to Green Bay businesses that they were either to welcome all Packers players or not have any players as patrons. The same was true for players and others he knew to be gay; he would not allow them to be discriminated against. Everyone gravitates toward great leaders, and Lombardi was one of the very best.

Jay Busbee: This needs to happen, if only to watch Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin each furiously courting voting delegations. Me, I’m going with Joe Namath, the absolute coolest human being ever to strap on a football helmet (outside of Burt Reynolds in “The Longest Yard,” of course). Broadway Joe always has that look like he knows 10 things you don’t, and nobody rocked a fur coat like that man in his prime. He’d sweet-talk his way right to the front of the line. (But I wouldn’t bet against new Hall of Famer Jerry Jones to work the room and swing an unexpected victory.)

Frank Schwab: If you’ve ever been in a room with John Elway, you know he’s the answer. I can’t tell you all the famous people Elway has met, but there aren’t too many people who can overshadow him. When Peyton Manning announced his retirement, it still seemed like John Elway was the most important person there. Elway has a pretty amazing blend of leadership, charisma and flat-out cool. People of all walks of life are drawn to him. Teammates were drawn to him too, because he had a rare combination of unbelievable physical skills, work ethic and toughness. Elway played with some great football players, yet they all speak about him with a reverent tone. He’s the only great pro quarterback to ever have meaningful success as an NFL coach or general manager, and there’s a good reason why. Elway is the biggest deal in any room he steps in, even a room with every Hall of Fame football player throughout history.

Jordan Schultz: He may be 81 years old, but Jim Brown still commands a room full of Hall of Famers with a level of charisma and respect few can even dream of achieving. It’s not so much Brown’s brilliance as a player — though that certainly helps — as it is his bold presence. Players and coaches think of him as a pioneer. Why? Because he’s never been afraid to speak of social injustice, just as he’s never been afraid to be himself. That is the ultimate between contemporaries, especially for someone who dominated the league in the manner which Jim Brown did.

“I am who I am,” Brown once said. “And if you don’t take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.”

Zach Pereles: Mike Ditka. It has to be him. Hand him a cigar and have him flip on the aviators. There’s your leader, right there.

Agree? Disagree? Let us know. And if you’ve got an idea for a future War Room, hit us up right here. Only a few weeks ’til football! ____ Jay Busbee is a writer for Yahoo Sports and the author of EARNHARDT NATION, on sale now at Amazon or wherever books are sold.

11 times Scott Eastwood showed off his action-star physique on Instagram

He has one of the most famous last names in Hollywood, but Scott Eastwood is much more than just his father’s son.

The May 2015 Men’s Fitness cover star has made his rise as one of the go-to guys for action movies not because he’s the son of Clint Eastwood—but because of his shredded physique and rock-hard abs.
