.@SawRobertson12 told me one of the best Mike Leach stories I’ve ever heard. After getting blown out by Bama, Leach walked into the team meeting… Pulled out The Little Engine That Could. Read it. Cover to cover. Out loud. To a room full of SEC football players. “Choo choo…
Since RBI became official in 1920, only one MLB player has had, over the course of his entire career (same game or not), a game with 4+ HR a game with 5+ XBH a game with 6+ hits a game with 6+ runs a game with 8+ RBI That one player is Nick Kurtz. He did it all tonight.

Sad to hear Ozzy died today. When I was in high school I discovered Sabbath. “War Pigs” was terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time. It was Ozzy’s voice that took me away to a dark universe. A great escape. Then when The ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ record came out I was instantly a…
