I miss John. He was ok. A sharp cookie that one was. How do you compare this strange game to these other games? Will the Beagles get back together? All in a minute or less.
I just hope everyone can see that what the New World Order Globalists that have all the power and own all our puppet politicians that scream global warming and change, do not have in mind John Lennon's Imagine. What they have in mind is a world working for 43 cents worth an hour with all of us serfs at the bottom at the pyrimid. All population control through medications, shots, and gmo foods as well as radiation through scanner machines etc. want to deplete us to a controllable population
@eysofastrnjr: In all fairness, 43 cents an hour for labor is reasonable.

Now pipe down and drink the Kool-Aid. The government is here to help you. Resistance is futile. Turn on the TV. Put down the mouse and step away from the computer.
Would the Beatles have ever reunited?.. I think probably not. Remember, it was not just Lennon and McCartney, but Starr and Harrison. I think Harrison would've said "what's the point?" Only unless all four thought there was something musically significant that they could accomplish, I don't think it would've happened. Definitely NOT for nostalgia's sake, or because everyone wanted them to.
Larry Kane talked about John coming to see him in Philadelphia and he just bought a regular ticket for the train and got off at 30th street station. And he walked out and got into a taxi. I took that train twice a day and always wondered which day I could have chanced to bump into him. It's fun to think about it
@calditz1 You're right. Did you notice at the very end of the video Howard says that he has to return to the Giffer and John says "...who's the giffer?". I was satirically commenting on what John said. Frank was very low key and Don Meredith was the opposite. Don was my favorite of all time.
@prrolg Yes, they were a great team. I can't pick one over the other but I recall Meredith was funnier and Gifford was generally the "straight" man. It seems like both did some acting too - I know they both did some commercials but I seem to recall some TV or movie appearances for both. Maybe I'm thinking of Merlin Olsen?
@calditz1 Yes, Frank acted. Alex Karras was a great actor. Carl Weathers was good in the Rocky movies and Predator. Others I can think of from that era were Bernie Casey, Timmy Brown (ex-Eagle with Hollywood good looks), Fred Williamson and of course Fred Dryer was great in his TV series. And OJ Simpson (ugh). Even Terry Bradshaw got into a Burt Reynolds movies about footballers. Oh, and Merlin Olson!
@prrolg You left out one. Someone I used to have a HUGE crush on. No. 18, Roman Gabriel. LA Rams. Jim Plunkett had a cameo in at least one movie as well.
@napachild Good call. And Roman played for the Eagles, my team. I flew up from Florida once and Roman happend to be on the same plane. I spoke to him briefly. He was coming to Philly to take part in a golf event at Ron Jaworski's golf course over in New Jersey. I don't think we should leave out Jim Brown. He did a great movie with Rachel Welsh (Name?) and of course The Dirty Dozen
@prrolg OMG you got me back! I forgot about Jim Brown as well. Is Roman Gabriel a nice guy? Or is he one of the stuck up, too good to talk to you kind of guys? By the way---I've been a Raiders fan for 44 years. Their training camp is in Napa where I live. Was a Raiders fan when I lived in WA state where I was born. Moved to the Bay in 1986. Was thrilled when they came back from LA. Waited 30 years to be a part of that fan base. By the way, its Raquel. Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow, he seems so warm and personable here. Keep in mind this was during his separation from Yoko. I lot of people in a lot of books say he was a different person during this period, that it wasn't as 'lost' or traumatic as he later said it was. Miss him.
there was a good chance they would have got together in the 80's...at the time of lennons death mccartney had disbanded wings and his release in 80 Mccartney II was a dud ...john's album double fantasy probably would have only been a moderate success if not for his death...and with the emerging video and cd market starting in the 80's the opportunities for success were there...probably not as "the beatles" per se but perhaps something like a supergroup name like "the travelling wilbury's" did
@youtuuberoxx You're probably right. There was some indications that the love was returning. McCartney's song "Coming Up" off McCartney II was the inspiration for Lennon to return to music full time and one of his favourite Paul songs. Also Paul calling the band in the clip "The Plastic Macs" as a tribute to John may have helped. Their rapport with each other was growing again from around '76-'77 and yeah, by the early '80's it would've been no surprise if the two did at least a duet together.
@gnossticc -Even though I like earlier U2, Bono has been trying so hard to be the John Lennon of our times..Gallagher and Bono combined have only a fraction of the wit and talent John had.
totally agree. "Bono has been trying so hard to be the John Lennon of our times..Gallagher and Bono combined have only a fraction of the wit and talent John had"
Ah, John. when he was at his best, one of the most engaging, witty, and charming people on the planet. I miss you so much, John. In todays' world, we need the sensibility of John Lennon so desperately it's almost too much to take. For those of you who never saw or experienced John in "real time", this is a small example of how cool he really was.
John was a pretty cool guy. He retained the charm from the early days.
With Beatles in mind, I've posted the video, "40 years in 3 minutes", which is a music video containing the Beatles' rooftop performance, historical events over the last 40 years and 8mm film antics from the period, all cut tightly to GET BACK and GLASS ONION. Hope you enjoy!

"we have to get over to The Giffer"..howard is referring to frank gifford who is married to born again christian kathee lee gifford..they caught the giffer fucking some chick in a hotel room and she set him up by rigging the hotel room with A hidden video camera and audio...photos of the video appeared in the press and transcripts of the audio came out...my fave was the giffer asked the chick to let him bang her in her ass..also he did not use a condom...poor kathie lee was humiliated by GIFFER
Football is one thing (Best sport on earth) and Northamerican disgusting football is another thing. Don't call the latter just "football". It's a total lack of respect.
@87JuliR You're right that football is the best sport on earth. Soccer isn't, though too many Americans give it an unfair bad rap. I sat entranced watching the World Cup. But the American game is the one sport where sacritice and unselfish teamwork is more critical to winning than any other sport, because if you have one guy who's not willing to sacrifice himself for the team, you have no chance to win.
@87JuliR Oh yeah. There's one other thing. American football fans have more class. Though your response would be rather welcome among Eagles and Raiders fans.
What a priceless and uncanny film clip of John with the very man who 6 years later would announce the saddest news of our lifetimes. THANK YOU for posting this!
@millyisawesome howard cosell wasnt your usual yank his real name was cohen he went to law school but never practised law he wore a toupe and the people that worked with him thought he was obnoxious
@Pagra101 nigga fuck u get yo fuckin pussy ass bull out here, man u pussy, them rugby players can play with those mean muggin ace boon coons, y'all aint hood like us nigga
May Pang said that Lennon really wanted a reunion.. but Yoko told him he do well by himself. oh well. it could've happend. (just watched a BBC documentary last last night)
wow this is really funny to see these guys together but I am really surprised John Lennon said probably that meant only a maybe It really sounded like he was certain about really getting back together with the beatles in like a year or two but I guess that bitch brainwashed him after she watched his interview on monday football with cosell he probably would of never got shot if they went back together because all the beatles had each others back lennon and harrison would of been alive still
The myth that John was happy in '79 80' just look at him at that time. Getting away from Yoko and working on his songs in Bermuda for DF helped him but he was struggling. He looks healthy and HAPPY in 1974 during his lost weekend. He reunited with Paul and was going to go to New Orleans with May Pang and sit in with the McCartney's while they made Venus & Mars. Breaks my heart that never happened ..
I have no doubt that they would have done some sort of collaboration at some point, but like most people I say-that is just conjecture-we will never know, but my gut instinct says that most people dont hold grudges against other people for too long. The ten years they spent apart were just about right to lead to a reunion.
Perhaps the greatest farewell in Monday Night Football history, and only topped by his statement on football: "...it's an amazing sight, makes rock concert look like tea parties." IF THAT doesn't endeer you...
I sincerely hope Mr. Lennon got to see many more games and learn the rules of football before his tragic demise...hopefully he threw a football--and with Lennon, every throw would've been spiralling through the sky (with Diamonds!) ;)
@richmjr67 I'm guessing the Dec 9 game at the LA Coliseum. The Nov 4 game was at Candlestick in SF. 1974 would have been while John and Yoko were seperated, he was spending time with May Pang in LA. Also Ringo's album that he references ( Goodnight Vienna) was released on Nov 15 1974, so it would have been out on Dec 9, but not Nov 4. over to the Giffer, bye bye.
@iwillstom Lennon loved that song and admired Paul for writing and performing it. Later on, he used it for its rhetorical power in slamming Paul at the perigee of their friendship. The reference, a pun really, from his "How Do You Sleep?" cut, was "The only thing you done was Yesterday / Now since you're gone you're just another day" ...which pointed to his No. 2 hit (No. 1 in the UK) single, "Another Day" released in 1970. John's cool. So is Paul. I miss the Beatles. Don't you, sports fans?
Say, when I was a kid in 1994 scouring record sales, conventions and every other avenue to glimpse moments like this - that one day, the Lennon we lost to America would turn up for free in Gems like this!!
McCartney made the point that the Beatles would have gotten back together, to at least record a few tracks on the Anthology DVD set. It probably would have happened in the mid to late 80's if he had not been killed.
@BODYSLAMwrestling While I'm sure John would have been excited as hell about taking part in the Anthology project, I still can't picture a reunion in the studio or on stage.
Speaking of Yoko, I was 12 when the Beatles disbanded, so I never had the perspective people a few years older than me regarding trashing her....she obviously meant a lot to him!
People forget the reason he did this appearance was because nobody was buying his albums bck then. All the way up right to Double Fantasy his career was pretty much shot, he couldn`t even get a record deal. He didn`t record safe songs like Paul McCartney. And people who bash Yoko, Lennon was pretty much broke when he met her. Apple has destroyed him financially and she was the one who invested what little money he had and made him a millionaire.
@JamesTKirkCobain Mmm... no, john was not broken when he met her. he met her in 1966 or 1967, Apple did not exist then. And even after Apple, John was not broke.
As I understand it, Ronald Reagan was in the booth at the same time, and he actually gave Lennon "American Football 101," and two guys on seemlingly opposite ends of the spectrum became good buds. True story?
you do not know john lennon at all....polite? normal???
john was a true Genius and as such he was also a crazy and troubled person. it doesn't make one cent less great, but polite and normal he sure was not.
@popmalevoo of course he was that man you said he was. he even says it in his book. he mentions that in order to become a peaceful guy, you have to be an abusive person verbally or physically or somthin like that. but i remember reading somthing like that in the rolling stone interviews book from 1980. i know what you speak of man and your right but he wasnt like that by the time of his 2nd child being born.
I myself might be shot for saying this... but perhaps its for the best that the Beatles never reunited. Don't get me wrong, it would have been GREAT... but think about it- you think of the Beatles, you instantly think of the 1960s. They ARE the Sixties, and still transcend it, so powerful... maybe that specialness would be lost if they reunited, they'd be the Stones- a great band, but not LEGENDS (they had the perfect beginning and ending in their story already, how do you top that?)
However, if John and George are keen on coming back to us and literally ressurecting the Beatles, I think the whole Western World would be so overcome with shock and joy it'd be instant peace...
Throughout the 1970s, every interview w/ a Beatle of course had the obligatory get back together question. Even Cosell had to ask the question. Ironically 6 years later Cosell was the one who broke the news to a lot of us that Lennon had been shot...
I love the way John Lennon did interviews. He was just being HIMSELF. But MILLIONS of celebrities have taken after John in the way they do interviews. Robin Gibb is one of the worst I've seen that's just a mockery of John in interviews. As somebody once said, It's always better to be a 1st rate version of yourself than a 2nd rate version of someone else.
@wilsondylanmccartney u rite i always thought that these rock stars we see today they copy like his way of talkin in a interview, but they are actin and john was just natural.
@ifuckyoursister20 Celebrity worship nauseates me, but not as much as egotistical, snob, bratty celebs who think they're owed sum'thn &/or deserve the attention. Listen up y'all, theys just people, same as us! EXACTLY the same. Yea on average, some have more money, but some don't. Some are intelligent, some aren't. Some are nice, some are whiny A-holes in desperate need of a slap in the mouth. Imagine if everybody stopped paying attention to them, & started treating/em like ordinary folks!
Funny people say that God & Jesus cause wars; you might as well say that Guns cause wars; bombs cause wars; what you own (things) cause wars; footballs cause wars; soccer causes war ---- shoot the reality is that PEOPLE cause wars....and that's the fact. PEOPLE, in bread with selfishness, cause wars. Stop blaming everything else as the cause and look inside yourself.....it's people who blow up others, pull the trigger, kill and destroy. People need to be cured....and that's the need.
You expect me to believe Jesus Christ was the son of God because a bunch of old men decided he was hundreds of years AFTER his death in some fabulous fairy-tell book?
A Classic !! Rest In Peace -- John Lennon!! A Mellow 5!! This clip from 1974 will be remembered for his appearance on ABC's "Monday Night Football" as an all time favorite.

wow this is really funny to see these guys together but I am really surprised John Lennon said probably that meant only a maybe It really sounded like he was certain about really getting back together with the beatles in like a year or two but I guess that bitch brainwashed him after she watched his interview on monday football with cosell he probably would of never got shot if they went back together because all the beatles had each others back lennon and harrison would of been alive still

The myth that John was happy in '79 80' just look at him at that time. Getting away from Yoko and working on his songs in Bermuda for DF helped him but he was struggling. He looks healthy and HAPPY in 1974 during his lost weekend. He reunited with Paul and was going to go to New Orleans with May Pang and sit in with the McCartney's while they made Venus & Mars. Breaks my heart that never happened ..

I have no doubt that they would have done some sort of collaboration at some point, but like most people I say-that is just conjecture-we will never know, but my gut instinct says that most people dont hold grudges against other people for too long. The ten years they spent apart were just about right to lead to a reunion.

"OK, Giffer, over to Giffer, bye bye..."
Perhaps the greatest farewell in Monday Night Football history, and only topped by his statement on football: "...it's an amazing sight, makes rock concert look like tea parties." IF THAT doesn't endeer you...
I sincerely hope Mr. Lennon got to see many more games and learn the rules of football before his tragic demise...hopefully he threw a football--and with Lennon, every throw would've been spiralling through the sky (with Diamonds!) ;)
RIP

@senorcardgage678 probably was nov 4 game against the 49ers or dec 9 against redskins those were 2 games in 1974 rams were on
richmjr67 1 year ago
@richmjr67 I'm guessing the Dec 9 game at the LA Coliseum. The Nov 4 game was at Candlestick in SF. 1974 would have been while John and Yoko were seperated, he was spending time with May Pang in LA. Also Ringo's album that he references ( Goodnight Vienna) was released on Nov 15 1974, so it would have been out on Dec 9, but not Nov 4. over to the Giffer, bye bye.

@iwillstom , The Yesterday crack went right over my head until I read your comment. Thanks!
nostalgiajunkie70 10 months ago
@iwillstom Lennon loved that song and admired Paul for writing and performing it. Later on, he used it for its rhetorical power in slamming Paul at the perigee of their friendship. The reference, a pun really, from his "How Do You Sleep?" cut, was "The only thing you done was Yesterday / Now since you're gone you're just another day" ...which pointed to his No. 2 hit (No. 1 in the UK) single, "Another Day" released in 1970. John's cool. So is Paul. I miss the Beatles. Don't you, sports fans?

McCartney made the point that the Beatles would have gotten back together, to at least record a few tracks on the Anthology DVD set. It probably would have happened in the mid to late 80's if he had not been killed.

People forget the reason he did this appearance was because nobody was buying his albums bck then. All the way up right to Double Fantasy his career was pretty much shot, he couldn`t even get a record deal. He didn`t record safe songs like Paul McCartney. And people who bash Yoko, Lennon was pretty much broke when he met her. Apple has destroyed him financially and she was the one who invested what little money he had and made him a millionaire.

@JamesTKirkCobain Mmm... no, john was not broken when he met her. he met her in 1966 or 1967, Apple did not exist then. And even after Apple, John was not broke.

@popmalevoo of course he was that man you said he was. he even says it in his book. he mentions that in order to become a peaceful guy, you have to be an abusive person verbally or physically or somthin like that. but i remember reading somthing like that in the rolling stone interviews book from 1980. i know what you speak of man and your right but he wasnt like that by the time of his 2nd child being born.

I myself might be shot for saying this... but perhaps its for the best that the Beatles never reunited. Don't get me wrong, it would have been GREAT... but think about it- you think of the Beatles, you instantly think of the 1960s. They ARE the Sixties, and still transcend it, so powerful... maybe that specialness would be lost if they reunited, they'd be the Stones- a great band, but not LEGENDS (they had the perfect beginning and ending in their story already, how do you top that?)

However, if John and George are keen on coming back to us and literally ressurecting the Beatles, I think the whole Western World would be so overcome with shock and joy it'd be instant peace...

I love the way John Lennon did interviews. He was just being HIMSELF. But MILLIONS of celebrities have taken after John in the way they do interviews. Robin Gibb is one of the worst I've seen that's just a mockery of John in interviews. As somebody once said, It's always better to be a 1st rate version of yourself than a 2nd rate version of someone else.

PEOPLE, in bread with selfishness, cause wars. Stop blaming everything else as the cause and look inside yourself.....it's people who blow up others, pull the trigger, kill and destroy. People need to be cured....and that's the need.
