MWW Artwork of the Day (7/29/22) William Herbert Allen (British, 1863-1943) Friendship (c. 1910-20) Oil on canvas, 93 x 73 cm. Hampshire County Council's Fine Art Collection, Winchester UK

Many of Allen's paintings were produced "in the field" and are bold in their depiction of light and shadows, or of changing weather conditions. His studio works are generally larger and of greater detail. Very few were sold on the open market, but he did exhibit regularly at the major galleries and annual exhibitions Allen embraced many styles and techniques from vivid, almost abstract, watercolors to more traditional oils and watercolors. His field sketches and studies are considered to be particularly successful and were painted in all weathers and conditions.

NFL Week 14

After an explosion of wideout scores last week this week wasn’t so ambitious. We actually had our lowest output of the season with only five players having 100+ yards receiving. This weeks wideout of the week is no other than the man leading the NFL with 1500 yards receiving Justin “The Man” Jefferson. Jefferson had a monstrous day at the office catching 11 passes for 223 yards. He didn’t score but what he did Sunday was nothing short of amazing. Jefferson is faster than I originally thought and his route running has improved tremendously over the season. Justin Jefferson needs to average 125 yards to break 2000 in a season and wideout fanatics like myself are on the edge of our seats hoping the young man breaks the record.

This is my first time hearing this name all season. And I’m sure when your record is 1-11-1 I for damn sure wouldn’t not be paying attention to the losers that the Houston Texans are. Despite all that Chris Moore had a game worthy of being mentioned this week. The wideout showed toughness and playmaking ability all afternoon while catching a bunch of flat routes. He even had a 1-hand highlight catch along the right sideline against the Dallas Cowboys and finished with a deep post late in the game to push him over 100 yards receiving. Moore finished the day with 10 catches for 124 yards and zero touchdowns.

Ja’Marr “Chase Your Dreams” was back in action. Chase caught 10 passes for 119 yards and 1 touchdown. On that lone score Chase got a great inside release and when he made his post step the ball was right in his lap for the score. I noticed he caught a lot of out-routes from the slot and had a really nice back shoulder catch late in the game. The Cincinnati Bengals are trending upwards and having Chase back in the line-up will give them another chance to return to the Super Bowl.

These last two names haven’t been called all year. Mike Williams of the San Diego Chargers had his first 100-yard game of the season. Williams caught 6 passes for 116 yards with 1 score. Justin Herbert looked like the best quarterback in the NFL with some of the passes he completed to his wideouts. Hopefully Williams and Keenan Allen can stay healthy because with those two plus Josh Palmer the Chargers are damn near unstoppable.

Donovan Peoples-Jones had a really good game. Jones caught 8 passes for 114 yards with zero touchdowns. I like the physicality Jones played with. He took some big hits on a few of his dig routes. I liked the way he didn’t back down and stayed playing strong throughout. I know Cleveland is out of the playoff hunt but Deshaun Watson is back and I believe they can win three out their final four games.

With 4 weeks in the season remaining I’m exuberant to see if the wideout record will be broken by either Justin Jefferson or Tyreek Hill or both. Either way the wideouts will bring some excitement to end out the season. Wideouts Let’s Go and Finish Strong!

How Chargers’ injury-riddled receiving core impacts fantasy football rosters

“Best” is one of the best words. It can mean many things. You can best an opponent. You might be the best man. Could be, you’re just second-best. You have best friends, you try to do your best. There is a best in show, lists of “best of …” If you’re near the top of such a list, you are among the best of the bests. If you’re No. 1, then the absolute best. If you’re not on a “bests” list, then…

Band of Brothers Ages: IRL vs. Actors

Did you know that according to a 1947 study, almost half the men who served in WWII were still under age 26 by the end of the war?

What this is : A (very long) post comparing the ages of the actors in Band of Brothers vs. the IRL figures they are portraying.

Background: Did I need to do this? No. Did anyone ask for this? Also no. Did I do it anyway? Yes.

Disclaimers: This is SUPER approximate for the most part. I based IRL ages off of D-Day unless otherwise noted, and actor ages off of January 1, 2000, the year filming took place (the latter is where the most variation will be because I didn't try to figure out what month filming started). I also didn't fact-check birthdays beyond googling. Most are sourced from the Band of Brothers and Military Wikis on fandom.com, Wikipedia, and IMDb.

I broke them up into rough categories, which are, again, approximate. I know I often forget how young the real life people were here, and this was a good reminder of that. I also found it interesting to see which actors were actually younger than their roles!

“Herbert Huncke was the Jean Genet of the Beat Generation. A homosexual poet-thief, he was once as familiar with Times Square dives and New York prisons as he was later to become with fashionable salons and literary landmarks.”

/ From The Independent’s obituary for Herbert Huncke by James Campbell, 1996 /

“His lifestyle was his art: the drugs, the prostitution, the homelessness, the years spent in jail - it all bled onto the page and created a new kind of poetry. He was the American Genet: a man with one foot firmly in the criminal underworld and one in literature.”

/ From “The man who set the Beats going” by Tony O’Neill, The Guardian, 2007 /

“I never met Huncke. Yet he speaks to me in a voice of gentle desperation and compassionate understanding on the complexity and fragility of the human condition, generously revealing the stamina of his tortured soul …”

/ From the book So Real It Hurts (2015) by Lydia Lunch /

Unlike Lydia Lunch, I did meet literary bad boy and proto-beatnik Herbert Huncke (9 January 1915 - 8 August 1996 – born on this day 109 years ago). Or at least I had a fleeting encounter with him. Like so many twenty-somethings, I went through a Beat literature phase. Huncke (who was on intimate terms with and a primary influence on the likes of William S Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac) gave several readings in London in the early nineties which I worshipfully attended. (I also managed to see Ginsberg). Huncke was a spellbinding raconteur with a worldly-wise WC Fields-style delivery, and so desiccated he suggested an unwrapped, upright ancient Egyptian mummy. After one reading, he autographed my copy of The Evening Sun Turned Crimson (1980). I can pinpoint exactly when because Huncke wrote the date [26 October 1994] above his signature in surprisingly pretty, swirling handwriting. Pictured: photo booth shot of Huncke, Times Square, circa 1940 via Ginsberg Collection.
