Every once in a while I just randomly think about the ending of #SharpObjects and how awesome it is and how much it blew my mind the first time I saw it #tvsky

When your old ass QB is the ONLY one running the length of the field and even remotely trying to prevent a pick 6 (as hopeless as his case was) that's not a good look for the rest of the offense #Bears #CHIvsCIN

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

I thought you had to actually do something as a pro before you get a graphics package on a national broadcast. Kyle Monangai just proved otherwise #DaBears #CHIvsCIN

In the latest edition of "Today I Feel Old," I just watched a 20-minute video going through various criteria to determine what the country's 4th largest city is. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming of watching YouTube episodes of a panel show from the '50s and '60s
