If someone doesn't make a movie about the Turkey Leg Hut saga, it will be a massive disappointment.

One of the all time great sports writers, John Feinstein RIP. Wrote The Punch about Rudy T and Kermit Washington and many others. I will forever remember his exchanges with NPR host Bob Edwards where they always signed off:
Goodbye, John.
Goodbye, Bob.

I didn’t know what anxiety was until I jokingly mentioned to a doctor that I had routinely woke up at night and thought I was going to die for my entire life (I was 35 at the time). He said, “You have panic attacks?” I said, “Is that what those are?”
