Jason David Frank Death Post

Despite having cerebral palsy since the age of 5 months old, I’ve always been into martial arts. It started at age 9, with Bruce Lee, and then yourself as Tommy in 1993. My current 38-year-old self was comparing prices on the classic 1994 Dragon dagger this morning. I stopped watching Power Rangers after the 1st 88 episodes when the original cast was no more. But I always go back to you 2 individuals as the starting point for my love of martial history. Thank you! I’m sorry that you were in pain. And I never got to thank you personally. #RIPJDF

BAs Al Pacino Dog Day Afternoon Attica impression

Here’s my classic 1975 Al Pacino Dog Day Afternoon Attica impression:

You got the whole militia out here, huh?

They got me on armed robbery. Not attempted robbery. They gonna bury me man. Kidnapping. Armed robbery. I don’t wannabe be talkin’ to some city cop trying to con me man. I don’t want to talk to some flunky pig trying to con me man. Get somebody in charge.

What’s he doing over there!? Get back their man!...

Look at him! He wants to kill me so bad; he can taste it! Huh!?

Attica!... Attica!... Attica!... Attica!... Attica!... Attica!

Tell them to put their guns down! Put their fu*king guns down!

All these cameras gonna get us all killed! Put their fu*king guns down!

Attica!... Attica!... Attica!

BAs Robert Duvall Apocalypse Now Impression

Here’s my classic 1979 Apocalypse Now Robert Duvall “I love the smell of napalm in the morning” impression:

(Bullets and bombs going off all around them!)

Okay, fellas. Quit hiding. Come on! Let’s go! Take off! Dammit!

If I say it’s safe to surf this beach, it’s safe to surf this beach! I’ll surf this whole place! I’ll surf this whole f*cking place!

Give me that R-T soldier.

Dammit, I want that tree line bombed! Blow them back to the Stone Age son!...

Let me take care of this… Get that out of here! (Pushes gun away. Takes baby) Come here now. All right. (Gives baby to another soldier) You put him in my chopper. Get him to the hospital. (Pushing Vietnamese mother towards chopper) No, no, no. You got to go with them. Get it outta here! Take off! Go! Go! Go! Tell my boys I want my board!

Give me those. I want you to take these, and do your stuff in them, over there. (Unfolds shorts) These are a present from me and the boys in the air cav. (Bomb goes off in the ocean. Minutes later, bombs are dropped)

Do you smell that!? Do you smell that!? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Once we bombed a hill for 12 hours. I walked up. Didn’t one find. Didn’t find one stinking body. Not one body. But that gasoline smell… Smelled like… Victory…

Someday, this war is gonna end.

BAs Robert De Niro Taxi Driver Impression

 

Here’s my classic 1976 Robert De Niro Taxi Driver impression:
 
(twirls gun in hand) Huh! (Whips out gun from sleeve) I’m faster than you!… Make the move… It’s your move… Don’t move! I got you!... Are you talking to me!? Are you talking to me!? Are you talking to me!? Who the hell else are you talking to!? I’m the only one standing here! Who else would you be talking to!?… You’re dead.

BAs Marlon Brando On The Waterfront Impression

It wasn’t him Charley. It was you. Remember that night in the garden? You came to my dressing room and said, “Kid, this ain’t your night. We’re going for the price on Wilson. Ain’t my night!? I could have taken Wilson apart. So, what happens? He gets a title shot out in the ballpark. And I get a one-way ticket to Plooka-ville. You’re my brother and you should have looked out for me a little bit, so I wouldn’t have to take all those dives for the short end money… You don’t understand! I could’ve had class! I could’ve been a contender! I could’ve been somebody! Instead of a bum. Which is what I am. Let’s face it!

2022 KC Chiefs Projected Depth Chart

2022 KC Chiefs Projected Depth Chart:

With that being said, there are 11 players on the field for each team at a time. So, here’s how I think the roster will break down. The 1^st name is the starter, and the other names at each position, are his chronological backups. By the end, I wonder how close I get to who makes the roster.

There are 53 men on the football roster. At the beginning of training camp (July), and Pre-Season (August), the team starts out with 90. And by the beginning of the 1^st week of the Regular Season (which is usually the 1^st week of September), they cut the Pre-Season roster to 53.

Offense (25):

QB: Patrick Mahomes, Chad Henne, Shane Buechelle (3)
RB: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon, Isiah Pacheco (3)

FB: Michael Burton (1)
WR: JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, MeCole Hardman, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson, Daurice Fountain (6)

Who is BA?

So, hello today fine people. I thought I’d do a follow-up to video 0. The intro to my video blog. Which is my YouTube page. BA Brad Freeman. And kind of do a video version of an article on my written blog The BA Freeman Experience. Basically entitled, “Who is BA?”
 
Well, I’m 38 years old. I was born July of 1984. At 5 months old, I developed cerebral palsy. I stop breathing. Had to be resuscitated like the rockstar I am. The fact that I listen to old school sixties, seventies, eighties, and early nineties hard rock, punk rock, and heavy metal. My mom says kind of fits me. It’s really my own thing. Um--. She’s more into disco, Linda Ronstadt, the Bee Gees. God I’ve had to memorize Saturday Night Fever and Grease backwards. Trust me. Just take my word for it people.
 
Um, I’ve already been through uh elementary school, middle school, high school, college. I graduated in the top 1% in high school. The top 5% in college academically. That’s always been my thing. I’m ultra-smart, but I have cerebral palsy. So therefore, being I don’t walk under my own power. It’s always been this extreme. I don’t consider it as extreme as it could be, but it’s pretty extreme. Not walking under your own power, and needing help with certain basic needs. But I’m not a vegetable and am definitely not mentally or emotionally saddled with problems. So, it doesn’t bother me too much. But getting a normal job’s kind of a difficult thing.
 
Um, I’ve followed football since I was 6 years old. Uh… High school, college, pro. I followed the other 4 major sports as well. But not as closely as football. I also am into boxing, and MMA. Um… I follow that as well. But again, not as closely as --um football. But… I am still into that stuff despite the cerebral palsy.
 
Um, I’m a history whiz as I said in my intro. Um-- martial arts, military strategy, tactics –um-- are my areas of expertise. I don’t really talk about it too much. Cause I don’t want to make myself into a weapon, or a target. I’m already a guy with cerebral palsy and in the event, I need to use it, I’ve learned to adapt certain skills I’ve read about in all the classics. In the event, I need to use them. But I don’t talk about it too much BECAUSE guys like that make themselves targets and then they’re always asking for trouble.
 
Um, when I was in college in August 2003… Graduated University of Missouri-Columbia. And then when I graduated in May 2009 cause things took me an extra year and ½ cause of my cerebral palsy… I studied theater as my major, emphasis in playwriting. Uh-- minor in film. Minor in history. As I said, my area of expertise is martial arts, strategy, tactics, um-- survival skills. That kind of thing. I like old school heavy metal as I said. Um--. Hard rock. Punk rock. My favorite band is Metallica. The metal version (1981-to 1994). Kill’em All is my favorite full-length studio release. Seek and Destroy. Track number 9 is my favorite song. Megadeth is my parent band as far as-- Megadeth and Metallica are my parent bands as far as –um-- my musical tastes. And I’ve also tried to write songs in the past. So, eventually I hope to release a lot of the stuff that I’m currently working on. I do a lot of stuff from home like people did during COVID in 2020. I laughed a little bit cause everyone was freaking out. And I’m like… This is how I have to live people cause I’m not able to walk under my own power.
 
--Um--. What else? I’ve also… As I’ve said in the past, wrote a bunch of college/NFL coaches to get my name out there in football circles. Um--. Wrote a bunch of plays. Put them on the –um-- New Play Exchange website. But again, getting a normal job is kind of difficult because I don’t walk under my own power. And I have a personal care assistant who helps me with every day basic needs. I do everything that everybody else does. Just highly modified. It’s a very strange variation. I’m not the vegetable you see in the movies. So, people don’t know what to do with me. And, I do things from home to keep myself busy.
 
Um--. I also have motivational speaking aspirations. Um--. I will keep on political –um-- views to myself, even though I have an 80-page political platform for when I want to run for president.
 
And basically, I just do whatever interest me. All those books behind me.
I’ve read portions of them to all of them. Um--. I have some memorized. I have yet to read major-league into other ones. I can tell you what they’re about. I know enough of that. But um--. Yeah. I’m just your average guy who happens to have cerebral palsy.
 
So, yes. And basically, my variation. How it works is… I’m not able to walk under my own power as I’ve said. I need help with basic needs. I’m not a total vegetable. But… Being, I don’t walk under my own power, things that everyone else does every day, they take for granted and I need help with that. –Um--. It depends on the level of physicality. I can handwrite. I can type. –Um. I can speak obviously. Some people with extreme versions of it. Their muscle tone is so great that they are not able to speak. My higher brain function and my emotions are completely intact. It’s just I’m not able to walk under my own power. 

Basically, as I’ve explained it to people over the years. It’s almost like –um-- being trapped in your own body. My higher brain function knows what to do and I can explain it to somebody else. But my body goes, dude we haven’t been able to do that since the mid-eighties, so good on you for trying, but you know we haven’t been able to do that.
 
And as far as a cure, cause I get asked that, all the time. Yeah, it would make things easier. And people probably would take me –um- serious. More serious as a person, if I didn’t have cerebral palsy. But… You know, the only thing it’s really gonna do… And this is my own life experience talking… This is nothing that any family, friend, or –um-- colleague. Or any relationships I’ve had —girlfriends-- have said. This is just Brad’s own life experience. Not even my own mother’s words. Um--. Not having it almost would make me seem ungrateful. I take--. I’m a lot more grateful when it comes to certain stuff. And, not having it almost would make me kind of boring and un-unique. And I’ve never been the type that felt sorry for themselves. And I was never the woe is me. I was always the guy that went “Yeah. I can do it. I’ll figure it out. I’ll use my higher brain function, and learn to adapt.” Instead of going, “Oh! I’m a poor crippled boy. I can’t do anything!” How is that going to help me? Tell me people. Because I was told a long time ago by a lot of people, especially in college. I did not enjoy my college experience. That I was in denial. So, how’s that going to help me? I never thought it would.

So, BAs into a lot of different things. And I’m sorry I’m rambling. So, if I missed something. Please feel free to ask. Thank you. Bye-bye. 

BA's Al Pacino Scarface Impression

Hello. Brad Freeman again.
 
For my second impression I thought I'd do the 1983 classic Scarface remake since Al Pacino is my favorite dramatic actor. And it was based off the 1930s Italian gangster film by Ben Hecht and Howard Hawks.
 
So here it goes.
 
Me llamo Antonio Montana. What'd you call yourself man?
 
I learned to speak the English from my father. He was from the United States. Just like you. He take me a lot to the movies. I watch the guys like Humphrey Bogart. James Cagney. They teach me to talk. I like those guys.
 
I was in the army and in the construction business in Cuba.
 
All my familia are dead. They die. Sometime. Somewhere.
 
I never been into drugs.
 
I was in a mental institution one time...On the boat coming over.
 
Okay. You got me. I was in the can one time. It was some Canadian tourists.
 
Okay! Okay! I f*** up! Let me talk to you for a minute! You a Communist? How'd you like it? They tell you what to do. What to say. What to feel. Do you want to be like all the other sheep!? (insert mocking tone) Baa! Baa! You know I got Russian shoes my feet coming through. I eat octopus three times a day. I eat so much f***ing octopus I got it coming out of my f***ing ears man. You want me to stand there and do nothing. I'm no criminal. I'm no p*ta thief. I'm Tony Montana. A political prisoner from Cuba. And I want my f***ing human rights now! Just like the President Jimmy Carter says! Okay.

It doesn't matter. You can send me this...there. It doesn't matter. There's nothing you can do to me that Castro has not already done.

BA Brad Freeman's Vintage SNL Super Fans Impression

BA Brad Freeman's vintage SNL Super Fans Impression:

(thick Chicago accent) Hello. I am B.A Brad Freeman. I'm coming to you from my room. Unfortunately, Bill Swerski, and di utter super fans could not be here today because they're at an establishment simply known as Ditka's. Ditka! Da Coach! Now... I was asked to give my prognostication about da Bears! Da Bears! Now, I heated up a slice of my Dardino's deep dish, and I about choke when I hear we're getting Justin Fields... Is he Jimmy Mcmahon!!?? No one knows... Is he Russell Wilson!? No... Is he Deshaun Watson!?... When we got the sh*--. When I thought we were gonna get Deshaun Watson. I thought to myself... Oh! Dye da river orange!... Get da cigars!... Get Ditka! Cause da Bears are gonna be 10-time Super Bowl Champions!... Oh!.. And then we didn't get Deshaun Watson... But I'm happy with Justin Fields. I just don't know what I'm gonna get. It's not like he's da football equivalent of Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Who in a single game probably could score more than 100 points... He'd probably score 300.. Even though da record is 100... Cause he's a Bull. Da Bulls! And I'm sorry that I wasn't here last week. But I was in da hospital with my fourth heart attack. Da blood work came back. It's a little Ragu, a little Dardino's deep dish, some Au Ju, da Beef Au Ju, with da peppers. But I'm fine! But I'm fine! So... Dat is my prognostication about da Bears!

2022 KC Chiefs Projected Defensive Starters Post-Draft

Our defensive scheme is a 4 - 3 (4 Down Linemen, and 3 Linebackers) base 7 man front with a 1 gap Under Front alignment (Defensive Line shifts to the weakside, and the Strong Side Outside Linebacker moves up on the line of scrimmage. That makes the defense look like a 5-2 with 43 personnel. Sometimes, the Strong or Free Safety will drop down close to the line of scrimmage, and the defense becomes an eight-man front, or what’s known as the 46 (Brian Dawkins in Philadelphia, and probably Tyrann Matthieu, and then his replacement Justin Reid in KC). Now everybody in the NFL does a little bit of everything because it’s the pros and a copycat league. But our defensive coordinator comes from the Jim Johnson tree (‘99 – ‘08 with the Philadelphia Eagles) and prefers a 2 High Safety alignment with Press Man Coverage, mixed in with Man Blitzes, Double-A Gap Blitzes, and Zone Blitzes depending on the situation also.

2022 Projected KC Chiefs Defensive Starters in my opinion after the draft:

Why I Want to Be an Artist???

 

Hello fine people.

This is Brad Freeman again.

I was asked this morning, why you wanted to be an artist??? And I thought I'd make a video to express my thoughts that are on my written blog. The B.A Freeman Experience (https//:www.thebafreemanexperience.blogspot.com) under why did I want to be an artist??? That post.

For me it boils down to three things:

It gave me... Art gave me a vehicle to openly and honestly get my message out to the masses. Secondly, it helps me feel like I'm being a productive member of society, so that people will take me seriously as a person, hopefully. And not just a person with cerebral palsy, who can't walk under his own power, needs help with everyday basic needs, because of his range of motion, motor skills, and muscle tightness. But does everything like everybody else, just highly modified. And third, it might give me some sort of income for when I have no one else to depend on...

So these are why I chose to be an artist. Theater, film, music, art, football coaching, martial arts etc. Anything considered an art.

Thank you for your time guys and gals. Till we talk again.

Bye bye.

Happy Cerebral Palsy Day!

Being that today is National Cerebral Palsy day...37 years old (I've had CP for 36 years, 7 months, and today)! Yet I'm still awesome, and making history! Take that universe!

BA's Best Martial Arts For Self-Defense

BA's Best Martial Arts for Self Defense

Agreed. Leaving, running, and diffusing the situation are the best policies. But in the event you're in a no other choice, but to survive and stay alive scenario, a martial art's effectiveness is based upon stand up striking with the hands and feet, in close with the clinch, ground techniques (80%-90% of fights end up on the ground), and weapons usage. 

2022 Bill Walsh NFL Coaching Internship Video

 

Hello. My name is Brad Freeman. I'm listed as Eric Freeman. This is my Bill Walsh NFL coaching internship YouTube video companion with my application. I'm 37 years old and I live in Kansas City Missouri. And I’ve followed football since I was six years old. High school, college, and pro. NFL…I've even watched XFL, USFL. –um-- You name it. I've watched every league. Arena even. –um-- And so I'm a huge football fan that's an advanced fan looking to become a coach. I'm a hard worker, highly intelligent, I use the internet as a teaching tool, along with streaming services. –Um--. I'm a Game Pass subscriber. I've also compiled a 50-to-100-page book of notes, and sent it to various coaches around the NFL, and in high school, and in college, just to show my knowledge. My areas of expertise are the Dick LeBeau/Dom Capers 3-4. As well as the Rex Ryan 3-4. But I'm open and willing to learn about any system of defense, offense, or special teams. And I've networked with some big-name coaches and I'd like to really continue doing that because it will open other doors for me, in order to do ventures after I'm done coaching the game. I have, like I said, I have followed football since I was six years old, even though with my cerebral palsy, I've never played a physical down before. I’ve had friends, family, other coaches in other sports leagues that were my best friends in high school. They--. So, I've always been around it because they hung out with me.

So... I'm looking to expand my football platform because I'd really like to network with a lot of coaches and I believe that I could--. Players and coaches. I believe that I could be an asset to any team, if they just give me a chance. I promise! I won't let you down! And I hope all 32 teams will seriously look at my blog and this YouTube video, and give me an opportunity to show what I can do because even though I've had cerebral palsy my whole life. It only affects my physical—um-- things day to day. It doesn't affect my mental, or emotional—um-- things whatsoever. So, I've learned to compensate using the internet. And I will not let you down. And you would get a championship caliber coach, even though I may have some physical challenges. Because I have life experience that no one else does just by having to learn how to adapt in a world of fully able-bodied people with cerebral palsy.

Thank you for your time. And I hope you'll seriously consider this, whichever team views this. Thank you for your time. And I hope this finds all heads of all 32 teams well. Thank you for your time.

Bye-bye.

*Note: I didn’t post a video for my 1^st year of applying in 2021 because I didn’t know how to use YouTube yet.
