I recently watched this movie once again. I don't think before this I ever caught the whole movie and frequently confused this title with Bruce Willis's movie The Whole None Yards. Some of the cast includes Burt Reynolds (A 1974 trophy winner) and a townie played by Rob Schneider. Others include Chris Rock, Nelly, Cloris Leachman, Tracy Morgan, A synopsis, without giving too much away, is that a washed up professional football quarterback takes a joyride in his girlfriend's car causing damage. She reports him for stealing her car and Sandler gets arrested. He is sentenced to a Texas prison where the guards have a football team. The warden requests Sandler's character so that the warden can gain political points when he runs for governor of Texas. The movie culminates with Sandler quarterbacking for the prisoner's team and William Fichtner playing the Captain of the Guards and Quarterback for the guards. The cast is interesting and the chemistry between them is excellent. While this movie was one of his last funnier movies of the 90s leading into the early part next century before having a five year drought until Grown Ups in 2010, this movie did not rank up there but ranked in the top 15 by Sandler. That being said, what drew me to this was that there is a line in the movie by Rob Schneider (what Sandler movie is not complete without Buscemi and/or Schneider) and my desire to figure out which movie came out first The Water Boy or The Longest Yard. In the movie the Water Boy, Rob Schneider, playing a townie, says the line "You can do it" and then five years later, Schneider, he says it again as an inmate in The Longest Yard. The line is used by Schneider in a third Sandler movie, 50 First Dates with Drew Barrymore, where Schneider plays a one-eyed Hawaiian and Sandler's sidekick. The Longest Yard is not as funny as The Water Boy or Happy Gilmore but does rank within the top 15 of Sandler's movies and worth the watch, again, but like Ryan Reynolds, does use a lot of what worked in previous movies in newer ones.

Question For Jerry Brown From Concerned Potential Voter July 24, 2017 BFH Many years ago, I married a widow out of love, and she had an 18 year old daughter. After the wedding, my father, a widower, came to visit a number of times, and he fell in love with my step daughter. My father eventually married her without my authorization. As a result my step-daughter became my step mother and my father became my son in law. My father’s wife (also my step daughter) and my step-mother, gave birth to a son who is my grandchild because I am the husband of my step daughter’s mother. This boy is also my brother, as the son of my father. As you can see, my wife became a grandmother, because she is the mother of my father’s wife. Therefore it appears that I am also my wife’s grandchild. A short time after these events, my wife gave birth to a son, who became my father’s brother-in-law, the step-son of my father’s wife, and my uncle. My son is also my step mother’s brother, and through my step-mother, my wife has become a grandmother and I have become my own grandfather. In light of the above mentioned, I would like to know the following: Does my son, who is also my uncle, my father’s son-in-law and my step mother’s brother fulfill the requirements for receiving childcare benefits? Sincerely yours, Mohammed THE ANSWER: Of course you qualify, Mohammed! I have arranged to start mailing the checks to all of you just as soon as you arrive here in California. Your Truly, Jerry Brown
