Something nice about a Philadelphia sports team.
There was a severe thunder storm hit Coors field in Denver, and the grounds keeping team appeared to be at risk for injury as they wrestled with the tarp in high winds the entire Philadelphia Phillies team pitched in to help.
It was a classy thing to do.
The apocalypse must be nigh.
Seriously, I’m a Redskins fan, and what a bust he was. (Yes, I know that this is bad English)
Seriously, he had a cannon for an arm, but he had maracas for his head.
I think that Gus Frerrotte, the league minimum 2nd stringer who outplayed him in every imaginable way, is still in the NFL
Rep. slammed as ‘chickenshit thief’ for ‘borrowing’ Democrat’s sign
RAW STORYA Republican House member (pictured) was slammed by a Democratic colleague as a “chickenshit thief” after borrowing one of his signs, a Capitol Hill newspaper reports.
“On Thursday, during House votes, a very angry Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) had some distinctly non-collegial words for Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas),” Emily Heil reports for Roll Call’s “Heard on the Hill.” “The words ‘gutless,’ ‘chickens–t’ and ‘thief’ were flung.”
The paper reports, “Shuler, a former NFL quarterback, was spotted towering over a seated Gohmert, wagging a finger in his face during the heated session, spies tell HOH.”
“Gohmert’s crime?” Heil continues. “Shuler and his gang, the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats, say the Texas Republican pulled off a high-stakes heist.”
Heil observes, “Next time Gohmert gets the urge to steal — or borrow — something, HOH humbly suggests he chooses a less physically intimidating target.”

Maybe only in Green Bay, but Milwaukee would be likely too.
I can’t imagine this in Madison. I can see a Merlot Mania race there.
19th annual Beer Belly Two goes over without a hitch
1,800 to 2,000 take part in charity run
By Kelly McBride
kmcbride@greenbaypressgazette.comSUAMICO — A beautiful morning provided the perfect excuse to get moving — and drinking — for an estimated 1,800 to 2,000 participants in Sunday’s Beer Belly Two.
Final participation totals won’t be tallied until later this week, but a last-minute registration push likely will mean a high turnout for the 19th annual event, organizer Bob Mayer said Sunday.
In fact, the number of last-minute registrants translated to a slight delay for the start of the 10:30 a.m. race, he said.
“Just about 20 after 10, there were hundreds of people signed up to register yet,” Mayer said. “There were, I think more (spectators), too.”
In keeping with Beer Belly Two tradition, runners and walkers had their choice of water, beer or root beer at water stops along the course. After the race was over, organizers held an awards ceremony in the parking lot of the nearby post office.
No injuries or health concerns were reported during the race, Mayer said. But as in years past, there were some participants who preferred the slow and steady approach to getting to the end.
“You always get the people who stop at the beer stops,” Mayer said, “and hardly make it to the finish line.”

It’s yet another reason why I don’t play golf.
That entire “getting struck by lightning thing” factors in too.
But mostly, I just don’t like the game.

A Wildcreek golfer who hit a bad shot this evening started a brush fire that consumed 15-20 acres northeast of the golf course, fire officials said.
The golfer had knocked his ball into the grass beyond the course off the 3500 block of Sullivan Lane. When he tried to play back to the fairway, his club struck something that created a spark that started the fire.“He was totally honest about it,” Reno Battalion Chief Curtis Johnson said, adding he didn’t know if the golfer turned in the alarm.
Reno and Sparks fire engines with 45-50 people swarmed the area and were mopping up about 8:30 p.m. A 12-person crew from the Sierra Front Forest Service was to be at the fire site until at least midnight.
