GROW UP BRO!

First day of the NBA season. Hit it, Mr. Tesh!

Bob Costas was 18 when his father dropped dead at JFK airport. At the wake, a man handed him a thick envelope with $6,000 in $100 bills. It was everything his father left behind, and a bookie would never have paid it to a dead man. In the video below, he tells the story himself. His father, John, was a big-time gambler. Not casinos, not racetracks. Ball games. Bob says the mortgage was literally riding on his bets. When the games went the wrong way, he threw things, cursed and yelled. Bob’s mom and sister would leave. Bob stayed, because watching the games with his dad was the only way to be close to him. Friday, May 15, 1970. A cop knocks on the door. Before he says a word, Bob’s mother asks, “My husband’s dead, isn’t he?” John Costas had a heart attack walking through JFK. He was 42. At the wake, one of his gambling buddies walked in with the envelope. “Your father was up when he died. Give this to your mother.” A bookie never pays a dead man, so the friend went to the bookie himself and said John sent him to collect. Decades later, Bob Costas refused to read sports betting ads on air. Today the bookie lives in everyone’s phone. Is that progress?

Good morning, Detroit! ☀️ It is officially FTP Week! #OnePride

Only 1 QB hasn’t thrown an INT this season now…

Still the best to ever do it. 💚💛

You know what I don't give a shit about? The 11 boys in this country trying to play girls sports. You know what I do give a shit about? 16 year olds shooting 5 year olds in the goddamn face.

Join us in wishing Cody good luck as he kicks off his run from Lambeau Field to Ford Field! He'll be delivering the game ball for our Week 7 game vs. Green Bay and raising money for cancer research along the way.

Ok you guys truly know he's LYING, right??? Just making shit up.

With the @Dodgers missing the World Series this season after winning two in a row, it’s good time to remember that only one franchise in #MLB history won 3 in a row besides the @Yankees. The Oakland A’s of 1972-1974 are often forgotten despite being great, outrageous & such fun.

Dallas Braden lost his mom to melanoma when he was in high school, and his grandmother Peggy Lindsey helped raise him in Stockton. For a long time he wanted nothing to do with Mother's Day. On Mother's Day 2010 he threw a perfect game against the Rays. Twenty seven up, twenty seven down, 4 to 0. Gabe Kapler grounded out to end it. His grandmother was in the stands at the Coliseum watching the whole thing.

I don't want to overreact to Jaime West here but I think she's my pick for Secretary of Defense

On November 16, 1999, 24-year-old Cherica Adams was driving through Charlotte, North Carolina, while about 30 weeks pregnant with her first child. The baby's father was Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth. Their relationship had become troubled, and according to prosecutors, Carruth wanted Cherica to end the pregnancy. She chose to continue it. That night, Cherica was shot four times while driving her BMW. The attack was not random. Another man, Van Brett Watkins, later testified that Carruth had helped arrange the shooting. Despite her injuries, Cherica managed to steer her car into a nearby yard, sound the horn for help and call 911 herself. She remained conscious long enough to tell the dispatcher what had happened. Doctors performed an emergency Caesarean section roughly 75 minutes later, delivering her son, Chancellor Lee Adams, about ten weeks prematurely. Although the bullets did not directly strike him, the loss of blood and oxygen before his birth caused severe neurological injuries, including cerebral palsy. Cherica survived the initial attack but never recovered. She remained in a coma and died on December 14, 1999, 28 days after the shooting. Before her death, hospital staff brought Chancellor to her bedside. Her family later recalled that her heart rate increased when her newborn son was placed against her. Chancellor survived, but he would grow up without the mother who had fought to keep him alive. His grandmother, Saundra Adams, became his primary caregiver and raised him while also advocating for her daughter's memory. Carruth was not convicted of Cherica's murder. In 2001, a jury acquitted him of first-degree murder but convicted him of conspiracy to commit murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and using an instrument with intent to destroy an unborn child. He received a lengthy prison sentence and was released in 2018. The tragedy is often remembered through the football career and criminal case surrounding Carruth. But at its center was Cherica Adams, a young woman who, after being gravely wounded, used the last strength she had to summon help for herself and the child she was carrying.

HAPPY VICTORY MONDAY
