i would like to order one infodump pls sir

Brace yourselves, I'm gonna talk about sports.

If you slightly stretch your definitions, and don't listen to the lies big NFL is spreading, the Indianapolis Colts are actually the second oldest NFL team.

The Dayton Triangles (incredible name) were founded in 1913, starting off in the old Ohio League, and joined the NFL as a founding member in 1920. The Triangles are believed to have played in the very first NFL game in October 1920.

The Triangles then moved to Brooklyn and became the Dodgers. Side tangent: NFL teams really liked to copy MLB team names from the 20s through to the 40s, the New York Giants are the last big vestige of this, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were originally the Pittsburgh Pirates. There was an NFL and MLB St. Louis Cardinals at the same time for a couple decades, but it was a complete coincidence! The baseball and football Cardinals both date back to the late 19th century, but the football Cardinals started off in Chicago, coincidentally moving to St. Louis in the 60s, and now playing in Arizona. Early NFL teams also liked to pick names that thematically fit with the local baseball team, such as the Chicago Bears and Cubs, and the Detroit Lions and Tigers.

Anyways, back to the Triangles lineage. The Dodgers eventually renamed themselves the Tigers for a single season, and merged with the Boston Yanks for 1945 because of the war.

Here's where the headache begins, the Yanks and the Tigers separated again after the 1945 season, and the Tigers owner left for the rival AAFC to become the New York Yankees. In '49, the Yanks owner moved the team from Boston to New York to become the Bulldogs. When the AAFC merged with the NFL in 1950, only three teams were selected to join fully. The rest had their players dispersed to teams in their area. The Yankees players were dispersed between the Giants and Bulldogs, who renamed themselves the Yanks again.

In 1952, the Yanks sold the team to the league after financial problems. The league sold the team, which relocated to become the Dallas Texans (no connection to the AFL's Dallas Texans, who are now the Kansas City Chiefs)

The Texans sucked. They didn't even last the full 1952 season before being sold back to the league. So again, the team was sold to a new owner and relocated, this time to Baltimore. The Baltimore Colts (no connection to the AAFC's Baltimore Colts, one of the three teams chosen to fully join the NFL, which quickly folded after a year or two) were officially founded in 1953, and continue to this day in Indianapolis. A move infamously executed in the middle of the night under threat of imminent domain by the state, using Mayflower moving trucks. (Yes, the move was shitty, but Baltimore also stole the original Browns from Cleveland so not like their fans can claim to be saints either.)

The NFL doesn't consider the Colts lineage to trace back to the Triangles, and neither do the Colts themselves. It's a fun curiosity that lives on in the mind of fans, and sometimes it pops up every now and then.

Kinktober 2024: Into The Woods - Jack Dayton x Reader (NSFW)

Tagging: @soultrysworld @kmc1989 @livingonthehems @tess-love @mandy426

Companion piece to:

Madness of a Genius - Jack notices you're the only one not paying attention during a donor event.

The First Time (NSFW) - Jack reveals his secret during your first time together.

Fucked Up - You and Jack each have your own special brand of fucked up.

French - You and Jack share an intimate moment at an event.

The Professor (NSFW) - Jack and you share an intimate moment in your office.

Different (NSFW) - You and Jack are a little different from normal people.

For your six month anniversary Jack takes you away for a weekend in a luxury cabin. It’s a secluded space in the middle of nowhere, miles away from civilisation. The perfect place for the digital detox he so badly needs.

“I’ve always had this fantasy.” You tell Jack as you stand in front of the floor to ceiling windows, staring into the trees outside. “Of being about being chased through the woods.”

“Maybe we can make that come true.” Jack whispers into you ear, his arms wrapping around your waist. “I know how much you like being caught…”

You play a game sometimes back in the city, you’ll snag something of Jack’s, something he usually needs at the time like his watch or tie and he’ll have to find a way to get it back. Your cheeks always get a little flush, your eyes a little bright as you try to evade him and when he catches you…

Well those are the days he goes to work with the taste of you still lingering on his lips.

Before you play Jack makes sure to set some boundaries. You have to wear something white so he can see you against the darkness, and you have to take the path that leads down towards the lake, he doesn’t want you getting lost or hurt in the woods.

The goal is to get to the lake before he gets to you.

He’ll give you a thirty second head start.

It’s warm outside so you dress for the occasion. You wear a light, gauzy sundress that flutters in the breeze and already his cock is straining in his jeans because you’ve decided to forgo a bra. He can see the silhouette of your nipples under the white material, his gaze strays lower and he can see that little dark triangle between your legs and his cock starts to leak.

“No panties.” He says as he sets the timer on his watch. “You are a naughty girl Professor.”

You give him that sultry smile of yours before he presses the button on his watch.

“Go.”

You’re off like a shot, bolting into the woods and every single nerve ending in his body screams at him to follow. His senses heighten, his instincts kick in, he’s chomping at the bit because you, you are far too tempting even when you’re not in flight. He gives you twenty seconds before he takes off after you.

The thing that he loves most about the game you play back in Chicago?

It’s the chase.

There’s an exhilaration in it, a thrill that courses through his body as lopes after you, catching a flash of white through the trees.

You don’t realise how close he is until his arm encircles your waist, hurling you against him. You let out a filthy laugh as he clasps you close, burying his face into the curve of your throat, nipping at that space just underneath the curve of your jaw.

“You still into this?” He asks you as he traps you between a tree and his firm, unrelenting body. His hand pins your wrists above your head, your ass tucking perfectly against his hips as your cheek grazes the bark.

“I swear to God, if you don’t fuck me right now…” Your words are cut off as he bites down on your shoulder, giving way to a heady moan. He unfastens his jeans, shoving them down his hips, thrusting inside of you, hard, fast, deep and the noise you make, it obliterates him completely.

“Fuck, I love you.” He whispers into your skin, his free hand threading through your hair, pulling at the roots. “Love that you’re into this just as much as I am.”

You’re on the cusp, Jack can feel it and it makes him all the more feral because he needs you to get off on his cock, he needs to hear you scream out his name into the stars so that even God All Mighty knows just how good he fucks you.

“Say my name Amélie.” He hisses into your ear as your cunt grips him so tightly that it sends him hurtling over the edge with you. “Say my fucking name.”

Like My Work? - Why Not Buy Me A Coffee

[mercurygray]

The Breakfast Club

Ugh, finally! This only took me the better part of a week but I like what's here, and I hope you do, too. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed some new girls to this project - I didn't quite get them all in just yet but we've got all kinds of time.

It's 7:30 on a mission morning, and now that the flights are out, the second shift is eating breakfast.

---

It was a good thing that there weren't as many of them on a shift as the pilots, or they'd never fit at the breakfast table.

"Spare a little room there, Nina?" Cord asked, as politely as she could, looking for a space to at least put down her coffee cup.

Nina, a young woman of twenty with straw-blonde hair, nodded absentmindedly and moved her plate of toast slightly to the left to vacate a post-card sized plot of tablecloth, making no effort whatsoever to relocate the extremely large copy of Life magazine she was currently reading from the middle of the table.

Cord looked at Mae, sitting just to Nina's left, and the two women shared a small amused shrug. Nina was one of the younger girls in the group, and a lifetime spent on a big family farm in New Hampshire hadn't done a whole lot for her table manners. (And for a girl who professed to be small and shy, she sure did a lot of taking up space sometimes.)

"You not eating anything?" Mae asked, passing Cord the milk before she even had a chance to ask for it.

"I had some oatmeal before wheels up," Cord said, accepting the milk and pouring a very long dollop into her coffee, stirring calmly.

"You know, you're going to get in trouble one of these days, sneaking into that kitchen," Mae said wisely, taking a sip of her own cup.

"I'm not sneaking kisses, Mae, just a bite to eat. And none of them ever touch the oatmeal." Cord took a sip of her coffee and smiled, closing her eyes over the hot cup and cradling it in both hands. "Besides, I want to make sure I'm awake for takeoff."

"So when do you think they'll send a reporter to cover us?" Nina asked, still very deep in her magazine and a full page photospread of some WACs on bicycles, somewhere deep in the British countryside.

"Do we want that?" Netta asked, glancing at the magazine over Nina's shoulder, carefully spreading a thin layer of margarine over her toast and cutting into perfect, elegant triangles. (Everyone else tended to give the margarine a wide berth, but Netta was forever on about 'slenderizing' and no one wanted to tell her she was plenty thin already.)

"Have your name in Life Magazine so everyone at home can see it?" Ethel reached across the table for the pepper shaker and vigorously dusted her hashbrowns. "Who wouldn't? At that point you're practically famous."

"They're not going to send a reporter here, Nina. We're not interesting enough for that," Mae said with a practical smile, sitting back in her chair.

Nina looked up at Mae like the older woman had just told her they'd kicked a puppy. "We're plenty interesting! Colonel Huglin said last week we were winning the air war!"

"Not us personally, Nina," Mae specified, patient to the last. "It's more of a group effort - the whole 8th Air Force."

Nina sighed heavily and went back to mooning over her magazine photos. "They must be so brave," she said, clearly addressing the woman in the photographs. She turned over the next page in the photospread, the top image a sky white with parachutes. "I don't think I could ever do that."

Cord glanced down at the photo and shrugged. "It's not hard." Nina looked up dramatically. "Parachuting," she specified. "I've done it a couple of times. It's not hard, once you get used to it."

Ethel looked up from her potatoes. "Where did you ever jump out of an airplane, Lieutenant?"

Cord laughed. "Back home, in Dayton."

"Quit bragging, Cord," Mae said with a long-suffering grin. "Not all of us grew up with daddies in flight suits."

"Your dad's a pilot?" Nina looked impressed. "Why didn't you ever say?"

"More of an engineer," Cord specified, a little cagey. "But he's got his license - taken me up a couple of times."

"And Cord does, too," Mae revealed, having far too much being a fountain of information across the table.

Ethel put down her fork. "Now, why'd you ever sign up for this gig if you can fly?"

It was a serious question, and deserved a serious answer. Cord looked down at her coffee, considering her options. "Didn't think they'd let me get close enough to matter," she said, drumming one finger on the handle of her cup. "They only let girls fly stateside - and some transatlantic ferries. It'd be a lot of flight hours but…no action. At least here I know I'm doing some good."

"Captain Brennan, what do you think about it? " Nina flagged down the passing officer, already finished with her own breakfast and obviously on her way to her next assignment. "These gals in the paratroopers that everyone can't stop writing about."

"Like they invented joining the army," Ethel added with a disdainful huff.

Brennan, a good ten years older than the rest of the table, glanced down at the article, her eyes skating over the pictures of the women at calisthenics, and spilling parachutes, and fixing their hair. "I think it takes a great deal of courage to do something different. Combat's not something they've ever allowed women before, and that's a big change."

"Why would you even want to?"

"Because it's a challenge," Brennan said with a slim smile. "And they're women who like challenges - who want to see real change. Because if they can prove themselves out there, maybe one day the Army Air Force will let Lieutenant Callaway into a B-17." She smiled around the table and glanced down at the article. "I might not be able to do what they do, but I doubt they can do what I do, either. There's space in the army for all kinds." She glanced up at the clock. "Except anyone who wants to be late. I'd hurry along, ladies, we don't want to leave the third shift waiting for breakfast."

"Yes, Captain Brennan," came chorused from the table, and Nina finally packed up her magazine while everyone took last bites and drained coffee cups and set down napkins.

"Lieutenant Callaway." Cord stopped in her tracks. "Master Sergeant Knox said you were in the kitchen again this morning eating with the crews." She paused. "When you've all been told the ground staff eats second."

Cord looked guiltily at her commanding officer, caught out. "Yes, Captain."

Brennan's face had the slightest of smiles. "I told him that I didn't like tattle-tales, and if one of my officers wanted to make sure she was sharp for wheels up then he'd better accommodate her."

Cord let out the breath she'd been holding in, relieved as anything, and allowed herself a smile. "Yes, Captain."

Brennan nodded, implacable. "Don't miss your transport, now, they'll need you back at Tower."

Cord nodded, double-timing for the door and the waiting pair of trucks outside, ready to carry the morning crew back to their assignments.

"I told you she'd chew you out about breakfast!" Mae said quietly, as the rest of the truck chattered and gossiped while the engine idled and they all settled onto the bench seats for the five minute ride to the other side of the airfield.

"She didn't chew me out," Cord said quietly. "Told Knox I had a pass for it."

"And what do they always say about Irish luck?" Mae asked with a grin. "I want to see Knox's face the next time you do it. He'll be steamed."

"Get up at four-thirty and join me," Cord replied with a smile of her own.

Mae laughed out loud as the truck coughed into motion. "As if! A girl in this man's army's got to have her beauty sleep!"

Two Ukrainian MiG-29s shot down, one of them by "friendly fire"

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/03/2024 - 08:44in Military, War Zones

In just 24 hours, the Ukrainian Air Force lost two MiG-29 fighters during fighting near Pokrovsk, a site occupied by the Russians in Donetsk. One of the jets was shot down by a Su-35 and another would have been by the air defense of the Ukrainians themselves.

One of the Ukrainian MiG-29 fighters was shot down near Pokrovsk on March 8, possibly by a long-range R-37M missile fired by a Russian Su-35S fighter. Some sources report that the air defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may also have been the cause of the loss of MiG-29.

The image of the MiG-29 being shot down was captured by the cameras of witnesses who were in the region occupied by the Russians.

The official command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces kept silent about the loss of the fighter, but an obituary about the death of pilot Andrei Tkachenko spread on social networks by an organization of scouts from the Lviv region. He was from the city of Sambir, was considered an ideological Ukrainian and at the age of 33 had ascended to the rank of major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Andrei was one of the best pilots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and was flying on a combat mission. The Ukrainian MiG-29 are adapted to use North American JDAM glider bombs. Near Luhansk, Ukrainians usually fly at ultra-low altitudes, but to effectively use JDAM, fighters need to gain altitude, where they become a vulnerable target.

On Saturday, March 9, the Ukrainian Air Force lost another MiG-29 fighter, which was also shot down near Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), in the territory temporarily occupied by the Russians. The air defense worked well, but the point is that it was Ukrainian.

— Alisa_Vasilisa (@Alisa_Vasilisa_) March 11, 2024

Ukraine's air defense systems shot down the MiG-29 fighter, with images of the crashed plane being distributed by Russian and Ukrainian media. Initially, Kiev said that the plane was not theirs and the air defense did not fire anywhere, but the data obtained clearly show that the fighter was hit by a missile launched from territory controlled by Kiev.

According to data from Ukrainian public pages, the plane crashed near the village of Shevchenko. The fighter was trying to return to the base, but couldn't. The pilot could not eject and died in the fall. The missile was launched from the area of the village of Novoolenovka, located in the Pokrovsk - Konstantinovka - Toretsk triangle. It is not known which specific air defense missile system was used to hit the aircraft.

“The plane tried to make a 180-degree turn around a vertical axis maintaining the horizontal position, while releasing countermeasures, but the missile hit the fighter in the tail,” Ukrainian public pages said.

A large fire broke out at the place of the plane crash and the crashed fighter burned completely.

Jimmy Stewart ‘32′s time at Princeton University, 1930s-1980s:

1. Jimmy Stewart ‘32 got an early taste of acting in Triangle Club. Here he is pictured with the production company of “Spanish Blades” (1931). (Standing, second from left.) He later said he got into Triangle Club because of his accordion, not his talent for singing or acting. Triangle Club Records (AC122), Box 69.

2. Stewart also acted in productions with Theatre Intime. He’s shown here (far right) on the set of in “Nerissa,” Spring 1932. Theatre Intime Records (AC022), Box 17.

3. Stewart struggled as a student at first, performing so abysmally that he had to go to summer school and change his major after his first year of study. After redirecting from engineering to architecture, he began to find his way. He was awarded a graduate fellowship in architecture upon his graduation in 1932. Undergraduate Academic Records 1920-2015 (AC198), Box 25.

4. But Stewart was into more than acting at Princeton. In his senior year, he was named head cheerleader. He’s shown here third from right with the rest of the squad. Photo from 1933 Bric-a-Brac.

5. Stewart never did go to graduate school, instead becoming an Academy award-winning actor. He responded to a 1947 letter from Alexander Leitch, the Secretary of Princeton University, accepting an invitation to come back to campus to receive an honorary Master of Arts degree. Stewart’s letter reads, in part: “I am going to have to cut things pretty close on this visit because I am making a picture which is to be finalized February 20. I plan to fly the night of the 20th and arrive in Princeton sometime in the afternoon of the 21st.” The film he referred to being in the process of making is probably Magic Town. Honorary Degree Records (AC106), Box 512.

6. He did make it to campus to accept the honorary degree. He’s pictured here (right) with Alfred Dayton Oliphant, Class of 1910, who also received an honorary degree that day. Historical Photograph Collection, Campus Life Series (AC112), Box MP68, Image No. 1461.

7. Stewart was sworn in as a member of the Princeton University Board of Trustees in 1959. He served on the Library Committee. In that capacity, he gathered and donated a collection of scripts to the Department of Special Collections. These scripts are still at Princeton. Office of the President Records (AC193), Box 512.

8. On a handful of occasions, Stewart returned to campus for reunions. He’s shown here at his 50th reunion in May 1982. Princeton Alumni Weekly Photograph Collection (AC126), Box 6.

Triangle Park, Dayton, Ohio - Dayton is full of history! Whether it's aviation, manufacturing or even sports, this city has it all. In fact, nearly 100 years ago this park was the site of the first NFL football game. The Dayton Triangles hosted the Columbus Panhandles here on October 3, 1920 and beat them 14-0. Back then, the league was called the American Professional Football Association. Two years later, it changed its name from the APFA to the NFL. Although Dayton no longer has a professional football team, its spot in football history will always live on here at Triangle Park! #MikeDoesHistory #history #education #Dayton #DaytonHistory #Ohio #OhioHistory #football #sports #team #park #NFL #triangle #professional #first #historic #subscribe #instagram #downtown #USA #American #learn #adventure #memorial #monument #game #winner #instahistory #historygram #like (at Triangle Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JPi-Kj9gr/?igshid=1o8iqan0ap7fr

Russian Su-34 jets paint the "Z" in the sky over Ukraine

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/25/22 - 11:00 AM in Military, War Zones

Su-34 fighter-bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces painted the "Z" in the sky over Ukraine today, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Previously, the Su-34 carried out a sort-up, during which they destroyed military facilities and military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the bombardment of identified ground targets was carried out separately from medium heights.

A few days ago, MiG Corporation held a rally to support Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine. "About 50 people, expressing their civilized position, lined up in a symbolic letter Z in front of the building at the main entrance to the factory," the company said.

Russian tanks, artillery and trucks sent to Ukraine bear mysterious marks such as 'Z' painted on their sides, alone or surrounded by a triangle, square or white circle. Other symbols - such as a white triangle with two lines on each side, red triangles, white circles, white triangles and white bars - were also seen in some of the vehicles.

The Russian Ministry of Defense posted on Instagram last week that the symbol "Z" came from a Russian word that means "for victory"
