“One for the Money – Movie Trailer: Unemployed and newly-divorced Stephanie Plum lands a job at her cousin’s bail-bond business, where her first assignment puts her on the trail of a wanted local cop from her romantic past.”

From Film Is Now

When I first heard about and watched One For The Money, I thought Katherine Heigl was way too cute to play a bounty hunter. I don’t care how tall she is and how great of a body she and she’s tall and very sexy physically, but she comes off as a big kid. Like a baby-face teenage girl many times and didn’t look much older in this movie than she did in that 1998 Chuckey movie she did. So in that way she was sort of perfect for this part, because the people she was trying to catch wouldn’t take her seriously and she would perhaps be underestimated.

But then you watch the movie and see the scenes where Katherine Heigl is actually involved in bounty hunting and catching suspects and she handles herself very well and even tackles a guy running away from his home suspected I believe on drug dealing. So her persona and appearance of: “aw, you’re so cute and sweet, I have nothing to worry about with you.” Worked very well for her and her character because she did know what she was doing once she learned the ropes and handled herself very well as a bounty hunter.

What I was expecting from One For The Money when I finally saw it on demand this summer, was perhaps somewhat cheesy bad written movie that was mostly about a sexy, gorgeous baby-face goddess kicking ass in tight skinny jeans in boots. With some explosive action scenes and car chases and perhaps some humor in it. This movie has all of that, except the writing is much better and it is actually a very good action/comedy and fairly well-written and Katherine Heigl and Jason O’Mara the two main bounty hunters do a very good job in it.

VOA News: 'Rebels With a Cause Slam Corporate Greed'

"Two new films focus on fringe groups who take social justice into their own hands. With a tongue-in-cheek approach, the films  The East  and  Now You See Me  offer 21st century Robin Hood-type plots where young vigilantes target corporate greed. VOA's Penelope Poulou has more." 

From Encula Rutchel

Sounds like the Symbionese Liberation Army of the 21st Century. The Symbionese from the early and mid 1970s were also New-Left (if not Far-Left radicals) who were fed up with poverty and what they called corporate greed. And saw the wealthy as the main if not only culprit with these issues. And took it upon themselves to kidnap Patty Hearst, the daughter of a very wealthy California family. And would give the Patty back only if her father paid the SLA off. And then the SLA would give the money to poor people in poor Oakland communities and other towns in California. Rebels With a Cause, aren’t kidnappers, but people who also have a similar Robinhood image.

Apparently this movie was first put forward in the fall of 2011 when Occupy Wall Street came out. And they became the New-Left radicals of this decade that were going to fight against what they saw as greedy capitalism and private enterprise. If not capitalism and private enterprise all together. And fight for new wealth redistribution to tax money from the wealthy to take care of the poor. But by in-large there haven’t been any terrorists linked to OWS. Just people protesting for not having permits and causing disturbances, but not actually robbing banks and taking people hostage. Unlike the SLA.

Whether you’re a fan of what's corporate greed and crony capitalism, or not and I’m sure as hell not as a Liberal, there are ways of fighting bad things and ways not to do that. Violence, almost never accomplishes political objectives when you don’t have the people behind you and you’re just a fringe group. 

The way to fights injustice in America, is to have the people behind you and build a movement and get the resources that you need from the people behind you. And then form a protest movement to accomplish your objectives. Publish articles, put together publications about what you’re trying to accomplish and back politicians and political candidates who believe in what you want. And will then fight for it. Instead of violently trying to overthrow the system and creating new victims.

I think the thing that you have to understand about the rivalry that the Redskins have with the New York Giants, is that it's part of the NFC East. So you have to understand the NFC East division in the NFL first and then when you have that down, following the Redskins-Giants rivalry, if you are familiar with the history of the two clubs against each other. 

If you look at the Redskins-Giants sort of the way you look at a prison and see how the gangs in the prison or gangs on the street try to coexist, then you can see why the Redskins and Giants don't like each other and I would argue hate each other, why the fans of both clubs hate each other. They're both in the NFC East, they're about 250 miles from each other and play each other on the weekends, which means their fans can make the trip to see their team play in the other's stadium. Both clubs are traditional winners (forgetting about the last 20 years for the Redskins) and both clubs want to win the NFC East every year, to make it easier to get to the NFC Playoffs. 

Both the Redskins and Giants when they're good, are tough, physical, teams that hit and tackle really hard and both go after the QB and like to nail the receivers after they catch the ball. You watch a normal Redskins-Giants game, even when one team is not having a winning season, you are going to see a lot of hard-hitting, you are are going to see a lot of little fights break out, you are going to see som questionable hits as well. 

My most memorable moment as a Redskins fan of this great rivalry, is a really bad one, actually I have 4 really bad ones, as well as a couple of good ones. Giants LB Lawrence Taylor and DE Leonard Marshall, breaking Redskins QB Joe Theisman's leg during that infamous Monday Night game in 1985. If there is any good news there, it's that Jay Schroeder became the QB and the Redskins came back to win that game and go on to have a winning season finishing at 10-6. They were 5-5 going into that game. 

During the the Giants first Super Bowl season in 1986, they beat the Redskins 3 times, including shutting them out during the NFC Championship 17-0. The Redskins were 13-5 that season with 3 of their losses coming against the Giants. They also lost to the Denver Broncos, so they lost to the Super Bowl teams 4 times that year and only lost 1 other game that entire season. Gives you an idea how good the 86 Redskins were. 

So 3 of my good memories of this rivalry would have to be in 87 when the Redskins swept the Giants, which probably cost the Giants a playoff spot that year. And one of those victories was a big comeback win when they were down 17 points in the 2nd half at homes. The Redskins also swept the Giants in 1991, their first victory over the Giants since 1987, was on a Sunday Night game at New York. And then in 1999, when the Redskins were looking to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 1992, they swept the Giants again. They probably don't win the NFC East that year had they not swept the Giants, because the Dallas Cowboys swept them. 

As the great football analyst John Madden says, you can't have a great rivalry unless the two teams involved are consistent winners and winning at the same time. I think that along with the Redskins and Giants being in the same division and being reasonably close to each other, and that both teams are traditionally, big, strong, and tough, is what makes this rivalry great and memorable.

Redskins Chronicles: Redskins-Eagles Rivalry

From NFL Throwback

If I had the time to put together a list of the most under-appreciated rivalries in the NFL, I would have to put the Eagles-Redskins rivalry on that list. The two cities are only 130 miles apart, both both cities, big markets, a lot of tough, aggressive people in both cities, who love tough, physical football players and games. When both teams are good or at least competitive, the games are always great and meaningful, with loser facing tough consequences for losing that game. The fans fate each other and get into fights not just at the game, but on the way home as well (I have personal experience with this) and yet we don't hear much about this rivalry, at least nationally. 

There are several memorable games in this great rivalry. The Redskins going up to Philadelphia in 1982 to beat the Eagles, when the Redskins weren't respected yet and when the Eagles were still considered one of the best teams in the NFC at that point and the Redskins win the game on of course a Mark Moseley field goal. 

The Redskins go up to Philadelphia in 1985 in a must win for both teams, if they wanted to make the NFC Playoffs. If the Redskins win, they're still alive late in the season for the playoffs. If the Eagles win, they still have hope, but need a lot of help and if they lost, they're out of it completely. The Redskins win this game and knock the Eagles out of the NFC Playoffs.

The 1988 game when the Redskins go up to Philadelphia to play an Eagles teams that won the NFC East that year and the Redskins are 6-7 going into that game and the Redskins win that game on a late field goal.

The 1990 season obviously with the body bag game on Monday Night Football. But the Redskins go up to Philadelphia 3 months later and totally dominate the Eagles in the NFC Wildcard 20-6, almost completely shutting out the Eagles offense.

The Eagles didn't have QB Randall Cunningham for most of the 1991 season, but they come down to Washington on Monday Night Football and the Redskins completely shut them out. 

I'm sure Eagles fans have a lot of great wins over the Redskins that they could talk about. But this is one of the best, most competitive, physical rivalries in the NFL. Perhaps more hard-hitting and questionable hits in this rivalry, then you would see in a normal Redskins-Cowboys game. 

6/30/2022 - Justin Miller: "Giants Eagles was such a better rivalry during the Cunningham era." 

Erik Schneider: "Right, because those teams were better." 

From Real NFL Fans

Justin Miller: "not just that. You had Jersey split among the fan base. And some very memorable moments like a blocked FG returned for a TD to end a game. Cunningham punting it 91 yards and flipping into the end zone. The Giants always seemed to be the better team, but the Eagles would have their number." 

Erik Schneider: "I was referring the Redskins, Eagles, and Giants, all being better than the Cowboys in the late 1980s and early 90s, until the Cowboys took over in 92. That's why the rivalries that the Redskins had with the Giants and Cowboys, were better at that point as far as the quality of the games, then what those three teams still had with the Cowboys."

From Real NFL Fans

Justin Miller: "you were talking Eagles-Skins. I said I prefer Eagles-Giants. Nobody mentioned the Cowboys." 

Erik Schneider: "OK, you prefer Eagles-Giants. But I don't think you can argue that the Eagles were better than the Redskins during that period."

From Real NFL Fans

Justin Miller: "I didn't make that argument. I said they split NJ NY and Philly. I also said from memory there were some incredible Giants Eagles games that stack up with some of the best games ever. Maybe for Washington the Eagles were the biggest rival. And maybe in a given year for the Eagles it was Washington. But I think if you talk to most Eagles fans the Giants were the bigger rivalry." 

Erik Schneider: "As I said, you prefer the Giants-Eagles rivalry."

Justin Miller: "Both great Rivalries for sure. Giants were 23-18 versus the Eagles in the 80s and 90s. 4 games went into OT with 9 games decided by 3 points or less.

Washington was 22-21 in the 80s and 90s with two OT games with 9 games decided by 3 or less.

Coincidently Giants vs Washington during that time was 21-18-1with 1 OT game with 8 games decided by 3 or less. But includes the infamous hit by LT on Theismann." 

Erik Schneider: "Hum, "Giants vs Washington" I take it you are a Giants fan." 

From Real NFL Fans

Kim Jones: "See that's the problem with professional football. Fans think you got to hate your opponent to play the game. You are just pitting your skills against their skills. Whoever executes the best win" 

Erik Schneider: "We're talking about sports here (another way of saying not real) and yes the games and people involved are real, but words like hate get thrown around. What that really means is we hate to see our rivals do well, especially at our expense. Not that we personally hate the players, coaches, and fans from the other teams. Sports is an escape for most sports fans from their real world."

From NFL Classic

Adam Daniel Carman: "In the 80s and 90s all NFC East games were wars. Even the Cardinals didn't go easy." 

Erik Schneider: "Right, the Beasts of the East. Big East basketball was like that as well."

"Malcolm X: Black Democrats are ‘chumps'”

From Black & Right

The reason why there were so many Democratic members of Congress in the 1960s was because of the Dixiecrats the Southern Caucus in Congress who were famous for blocking civil rights legislation in the Senate and the African-Americans who could vote back then, were voting for more liberal or progressive Democrats and Republicans.

Yes, Republicans were competitive back then with African-Americans as well as in the Northeast, because they weren’t controlled by the Religious-Right, or people who I today call Neo-Confederates. Who are still fighting the Civil War let alone the Culture War who back then were blocking civil rights legislation in Congress. Today they are pushing these so-called Voter ID laws bills that are a solution in search of a problem. But are actually designed to prevent traditional Democrats like African-Americans, Latinos, young people from voting in swing states, so Republicans can stay in power there.
