This is crazy: Not too long ago, people figured out that a couple people pictured on a New York Knicks’ Mark Jackson trading card were . . . the infamous Menendez brothers (LINK).
I mentioned last week that I was watching Conan O’Brien’s new show, and I found a Q&A with him from the New York Times (LINK). I appreciated this quote:
Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.
I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.

As a huge #Michigan#Wolverine fan, I know our future is bright! Right now, Coach Harbaugh and Pep Hamilton are watching film to come up with even more creative ways to run the ball up the middle on 1st and 2nd down with a bubble screen on 3rd down. #GoBlue! pic.twitter.com/ZkHiZHsRej
