Last summer, Steve and I tried to come up with a list of games essential to the Penn State football story. Of course we included the SMU Cotton Bowl on there but also chuckled at the fact we had to make sure we put Lou's notes about the "We Are" origin in there.

I only briefly got to know Lou over the last few months but I, like a lot of Penn Staters, have known Lou for a long time. Appreciate you including the notes about the "We Are" story here because he would appreciate you including the notes about the "We Are" story.

I'm a millennial, but Enemy of The State is a great popcorn thriller that I haven't seen in years. Can't tell if it's aged badly or not because of the political nature of it.

I once wrote an article about a local sports hero that was truthful. It went viral, however, the hero emailed me, and further explained the reasoning behind the information in the article, asking that I remove it. I did.

Two absolute legends in their respective fields, leaving behind résumés which elevated both their crafts. RIP, Gene and Lou -- thanks for giving and preserving memories.

There are some movies even Hackman could not rescue.

Much as Heartbreakers had Weaver and Love Hewitt in smokin' form, as was Brooke Langton. The Replacements, always best enjoyed courtesy tunes outta Minneapolis.

I was being completely factitious there. I remember Bill Simmons on his Page 2 site back then said Hackman was basically mailing in that performance.
