Probably because it came out in '71 when I was 7. 8 must've been the age when I started paying attention to sports and movies because that's the first Viking season I can recall, and also when Poseidon Adventure came out, and I sure as hell remember that one. Hackman with hair.

RIP to a true giant of Hollywood, an actor who could play any kind of role, and who was astounding at his craft.
Definitely rewatching Mississippi Burning, Absolute Power, and many more this weekend.
Wait, we failed to protect our QB in big games, again?
MAYBE THERE'S A LESSON HERE.

French Connection is one of my favorite movies. RIP Gene.

"Alvin C. Copeland Sr., the founder of Popeyes food chain, was a big fan of the film and found Hackman’s character particularly captivating. Inspired by the tenacity and determination of Popeye Doyle, Copeland decided to name his fast-food venture after this memorable character. Thus, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen was born."
