Our #MI01 Photo of the Day is courtesy of Tudor ApMadoc, who captured an aerial of the Copper Peak Ski Jump in Ironwood. 

With new historic private and public investment, the sixth largest ski jump in the world will come back to life after nearly 30 years of disuse.

Apparently Sullivan would not stop trash talking Raiders Hall of Fame defensive end Howie Long from the sideline during the entire game

They probably grew up together. Howie Long came from Charlestown an Irish neighborhood in Boston. 

And the SUllivan brothers were kinda dicks. Best thing that ever happened to the pats was the sale to Bob Craft.

He's got more hair in his beard than on his head
him and the wife sleep in twin beds
thinking he's gotta buy some tires for the old sled
goes by the name of Red
never bought a lottery ticket
can't see any reason for it
used up all his luck
when the rounds were stopped by his ruck
and then was the time
he missed the command detonated mine
he can still picture it now
if he'd started digging in the ground
none of him would ever be found
'cept maybe an ear
he turns 75 this year
so here's to all the guys like him
( his real name is Jim )
with more hair in his beard than on his head
all the ones who got to live in memory of the dead.

Dick Fosbury, a former gold medal Olympic high jumper, passed away on March 12th at the age of 76. Fosbury is considered one of the most influential athletes in the history of track and field. Besides winning a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics, he revolutionized the high jump event with a "back-first" technique, now known as the Fosbury Flop, adopted by almost all high jumpers today. His method was to sprint diagonally towards the bar, then curve and leap backwards over the bar, which gave him a much lower center of mass in flight than traditional techniques. He continued to be involved in athletics after retirement and served on the executive board of the World Olympians Association.

At the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Fosbury took the gold medal and set a new Olympic record at  7 ft 4+1⁄4 in, displaying the potential of the new technique. Despite the initial skeptical reactions from the high-jumping community, "Fosbury Flop" quickly gained acceptance. In the Finals competition, only three jumpers cleared 7 ft 2+5⁄8 in, and Fosbury was in the lead by virtue of having cleared every height on his first attempt. At the next height, 7 ft 3+3⁄8 in, Fosbury again cleared the bar on his first jump. His teammate, Ed Caruthers, cleared on his second effort, while Valentin Gavrilov of the Soviet Union missed on all three attempts and earned the bronze medal. The bar was raised to 7 ft 4+1⁄4 in, which would be new Olympic and United States records. Fosbury missed his first two attempts, but cleared on his third, while Caruthers missed on all three of his attempts.

Condolences to his family and friends and may he Rest in Peace.
