I almost find it funny (odd) that Todd Kalas thought of Don Zimmer as a grandpa figure, not only because Todd's father Harry was only 6 or 7 years younger than Zim, but because a great deal of people here in the Delaware Valley considered Harry Kalas to be a grandfatherly figure, and we definitely took it hard when he…

I know he's only 9 ... and I bet the keyboard had something to do with it ... but I didn't think that was super impressive. His fingers were tripping all over themselves. Being a musician doesn't mean you just play a bunch of notes really fast. He could have picked something else and killed it (he has the 'tude,…

I'm a hearing parent of a deaf child. He has implants, but we've also signed with him since day one and we've stayed involved in the Deaf community.

People don't go to Chipotle because they want Mexican food. People go to Chipotle because they want Chipotle.

"Stay on the ice"? If you don't think the handshake line is some sacrosanct zone of sportsmanship, fine, but you don't then get to turn around and try to appeal to "the ice" as a sacrosanct zone of silence. Either be a man and be respectful or be a man and own your comments.

I mean this as productively as possible: hang out with different ladies. I honestly have no women in my social circle I would describe this way and you are only going to hurt yourself if you project these bad experiences into future females.

God, this article is such an incredible fucking bummer, because it is SUCH a missed opportunity.
