I grew up around Dean in Malibu and he always hated that part of himself that want's lily white.
Self-loathing much.

3:50 Dan Campbell is MAGA and a Hulk Hogan fan. He even invited him to camp and did a video with Hogan. Not much of a great character.

…that's not "gold" tone… it's just urine-colored.
That's the key to understanding the Orange Felon.

Sad thing is he is using the orange to look better. If that looks better what is the orange covering?

Why would anyone care if someone played football in high school? My husband did. He went to a tiny school and basically everyone who tried out was on the team. It’s not that big of a deal to play football in high school and I think it’s weird when 50 year old men care.

Dean Cain was an actor?

Dean Cain taking a page out of Trump's Racism 101 playbook – feels like a naked grab for a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Maybe he got bored with ICE and he was jonesing for some sweet, sweet publicity.

All Republicans have is scare mongering on key words like: "EXTREME", "RADICAL", "SOCIALIST", "COMMUNISM". They don't really have anything I compared both policies Mike Rogers/Abdul El-Sayed and I think Mike Rogers is a dud! Don't believe me, look up his policy. The guy will not even debate Abdul. If voters can get over the perception that Republican adds are trying to make, then Abdul El-Sayed has a chance in Michigan. We really do need to get rid of the corruption. Not just Trump.

This is just a pathetic attempt by a has-been actor to get back in the limelight. Have you seen Cain in anything lately? That's what I thought.

Figures that a fake TV. “super-man” would fall for a super fraud like Trump.

Dean is 60 now, and I know a lot of people who just don't mention him among the people who have played Superman. 2:40

Hate the fact that many of us thought that he was hot back in the day. How far he has fallen!

I would love to watch Abdul El-Sayed blind-sided tackle Dean Cain and plant him into the ground. Then hear Dean Cain yell, "Ahhhh, my back!"

I was right smack in the middle of executive TVs target market during Dean Cain's popularity on TV as Superman.
We all thought he was a loser then, his show was so cheesy. If anything it was Hatcher's show.
It was something our parents watched. 😂 He's not even a has been , he's a never was.

I’m assuming that while El Sayed was getting a medical degree and a PhD Cain must have been on the twinkie diet

If Dean wasn't a Trump supporter, Trump would call him "fat superman". Just saying.

You know, we don't talk enough about Gerard Christopher, the guy who played Clark/Superboy immediately prior to Dean Cain, and who even auditioned for the role on Lois and Clark. Much nicer person, that Gerard Christopher.

I've noticed cutting into lines is the latest thing, often they (millenials?) sidle, as preparation to reshape the quadration….
So, one has one's place and a single or couple will dance to the side, ready to drift ahead.
I've found strengthening and widening my stance to be effective.
