  1. For years I've heard that a certain hit song was a complete ripoff of a Rolling Stones song and that the Stones sued the band that had the hit. I didn't think it was that big a ripoff and couldn't believe that a judge found for the Stones. Terri Hemmert of WXRT posted on FB the complete story today. Turns out it wasn't the Stones, it was their manager Allan Klein (he who was also the main reason the Beatles broke up) that sued received the proceeds (~$5 M) and had the song writing credits changed to Jaggar-Richards (despite the lyrics being completely different). Also, it wasn't the Stones that were ripped off, it was Andrew Lloyd Oldham, the Stones previous manager, who released an instrumental version of the Stones song (btw - the Stones ripped the song off The Staple Singers, who "didn't have a high-powered lawyer"). With Allan Klein's passing, the Stones (who actually liked the version done by The Verve) allowed Richard Ashcroft song writing credits on future releases). You'll recognize this immediately...

  16. BTW - Sorry Michael Vick, but Justin Fields is taking your seat and the Yards rushed in a single game record by a QB - 178.
  17. The ref is just off screen at the bottom looking right at the play. The Fin player has already spun Claypool around and is apparently trying to get to second base with him. Ref Sgt Schultz - "I see NOTHING!" Even the announcers were waiting for the flag.
