I’m sick of these entitled thugs. Where is the leadership in their community? Where are the fathers to teach them humility and grace?

My first job out of college was with a minor league basketball team (rot in hell, Rockford Lightning!). I was ostensibly an “account executive” in charge of selling season tickets and corporate sponsorships, but I also did a lot of gameday operations stuff - running in-game promotions, coordinating cheerleaders,…

I was selling a drum machine on ebay and used to list my phone number for any questions. It was a $1 start price, with like $800 reserve and $1K buy it now. So, one day I get a call - the dude says “Hey, I’m DJ Shadow, you know who I am?” me: “No” Him: “I want to buy your machine drum and I see that it’s now bid up to…

I did competitive robotics in high school. One time, inventor of the Segway, Dean Kamen, took special note of my robot. He called it innovative and imaginative.

My wife worked at a grocery store for a while, and while she was working a cash register Tom Higgenson (lead singer of the Plain White T’s) came to her register. She was like, YOU LOOK JUST LIKE THAT DUDE FROM THAT ONE BAND! and started singing “Hey There Delilah” to him. He had booze so she asked for his ID, and then…

Learn your routes, Sam.

Somewhere a small smile cracks across Ted Thompson’s face, and then quickly disappears as he returns to the grim task as sacrificing kitties to the gods in return for another Hall of Famer to be Aaron Rodgers successor.

A story goes with this one. I don’t recall it happening, but it has been told by my parents many times.

Any mention of Heather Kampf should be accompanied with this video, from her college days:

He’ll fit in Minnesota perfectly

While everything in the infographic is true, and does have merit, I think publishing it as the gospel truth here on Vitals does people a disservice.

I’ve intentionally hit a guy before that bunted on me. If I can do it, a Yankees pitcher can do it. Guy is running on the infield grass, and I just tossed it into his back. Otherwise it was toss it over his head. Ump called him out, end of discussion. He has a box to run in, and if he interferes with the throw, he’s…

That is the rule! Tom Seaver always talks about how badly he wanted a runner to be going down on the inside of the line on precisely this type of play so he could have drilled them in the back.
