We haven’t posted one of these in a while, what with all the serious stuff going on around us…the World Series…a perfect NFL team…the #2 team in College Football…you know, stuff like that.
Anyway, I thought this might be a good time to draw your attention to a couple of items from the lighter side of the sports world that I found while scrolling through my 2nd favorite internet site:
-A Long Island mother was charged with reckless endangerment for hitting her daughter’s soccer coach with a folding chair. (Somewhere, George “The Animal” Steele is smiling) The woman was angered because the 67-year old coach stopped emailing her directions to the games. (That’s why I always respond to email)
-A Rockies fan so badly wants to take his son to a World Series game, he’s offering up his entire Playboy Magazine collection (25-years worth, in mint condition) for a pair of tickets. Two thoughts here; 1) how do you keep 25-years worth of Playboy in mint condition and 2) at Fenway, that wouldn’t even buy you a parking space, never mind a pair of tickets.
-You thought Heath Shuler was a stiff as an NFL Quarterback? Shuler was intercepted twice and his team was shutout in a football game between Congress and the Capitol Police. Seriously. Upon hearing the news, Drew Bledsoe decided to run for office, figuring he’d finally found the one QB controversy he could win. (OK, so I made the Bledsoe part up)
Only question I have on your Long Island story is I thought George "The Animal" Steele didn't give out chair shots? All I remember him ever doing was chewing the stuffing out of the turnbuckles and sticking out his tongue.
