#1 If you watch the video closely, you can see the protesters hurling the fluid can at Monday. They missed.

In a less formal interview on the subject, Monday said that "I went to a good university; I knew what they were pouring on the flag wasn't holy water...If I could just get the flag away from them, they couldn't burn it." (source: Ron Luciano, "The Fall of the Roman Umpire, I think).

#2 What were they protesting? They look kinda swarthy, but the vid isn't clear.

#3 I tried to find that out last week when this was here. About all I found was that they were father and son from Missouri who's wife/mother was supposedly in a mental institution there and wasn't being released. Pops pulled a sixty dollar fine for trespassing and him and sonny disappeared into oblivion.

#7 "This wouldn't have happened if Judge Landis were alive. Or Bowie Kuhn." Originally said about the 1972 strike, but it fits.

#8 Takes me back - saw the event on TV. My group was mostly expecting somebody in disco clothes to sneak in and quickly take 'em off ala STREAKING, since the latter was the fad in mainland USA at the time.
