So I'm watching Concussion (the 2015 movie with Will Smith) and I think I see LSU flash before my eyes. So I rewind and pause and it's a picture of Tiger Stadium.



I was curious as to the LSU connection. So I researched and found out that Dr. Julian Bailes was a former NFL doctor. Bailes is an LSU and LSU med school graduate.

An aside: In finding out the above LSU connection, Bailes' dad was working his way through LSU law school and was employed at the LA state capitol when Huey P. Long was gunned down. At his death he was the last living eyewitness to HPL's murder.

Don't ask me, ask the people who posted it.

Kinda like when an LSU football game is streamed on justin or full broadcast loaded up on youtube.

Step away from your keyboard.

Delerium is setting in.

You have 52,5K posts (compared to my 12,5K) in half the time I've been on TD.

If you want a website to watch movies like that, post your email and I'll send it to you.

I spent last week watching the Revenant in 30min intervals at work on my iPhone. This week is The Last Witch Hunter.

I knew Dr. Weiss' (Huey Long's assassin) sister. The family history was not particularly public knowledge in her social circle, she lived in NOLA. She said it was a case of Weiss just snapping one day.
