Today is January 23rd. On this date in 1985, O.J. Simpson became the first Heisman Trophy winner to be inducted into the pro football Hall of Fame. At the ceremony, O.J. signed many autographs and barely murdered anyone. Also, on this date in 1957, the very first Frisbees were produced by Wham-O toys. Little did they know that the game of Ultimate Frisbee, and its far more dangerous counter-part Super Mega Ultra Death Frisbee, would eventually attract so many frat brahs and hipsters alike. I mean, if they had, they might have just turned off the machines and gone for a coffee instead. In any case, here are today’s links, and as always, this is an Open Thread.
