Ted Williams?

I don't think Williams played competitive football. I know he signed with a minor league baseball team right after high school.

Yea...I have his biography on audio and it's an amazing life. A 2 hour movie would be an insult. 

There were several old WWII fighter pilots who flew in Vietnam, but Olds was legendary.  He could have shot down more MiGs in 'nam, but then he would have been sent him home.

Robin Olds....went to the USMA and played football, then became a fighter pilot in WWII and later Vietnam.

I can only think of 2 really long rivers in Canada. St Lawrence River and the Yukon River (although that one winds through Alaska as well). One of them maybe?

[Swayin]

what movie's late fee was the cause for the creation of netflix?

WAG: Gotta be something superlong that might have caused you to rack up penalties in the Blockbuster days ... maybe something like The Godfather?

 

[Spur's Addiction]

what movie's late fee was the cause for the creation of netflix?

The Matrix?  Just a wild guess. Thinking that movie came out maybe around the time it launched.
