On this date in baseball history: Robin Ventura became Nolan Ryan's bítch.
I should add the fact that Nolan Ryan was 46 at the time and Robin Ventura was in his 20's. And should you ask him to autograph a picture of the event, Nolan will oblige with his name followed by "Don't mess with Texas." True story.
Back when Tom Petty released Wildflowers I went and bought it the day it came out. I went to the record store near my house, came home and opened it and this little card fell out. I picked it up and read it and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I immediately went and bought another copy from the same store. The guy that owned the place said "Are you drunk, you just bought this." I replied that the first copy was autographed and I needed another copy to listen to. How effing cool is this?
@CharlieHeis , all your Tom Petty posts (much appreciated) made me think of something, I was once a member of the Tom Petty Fan Club. Hadn't meant to join anything, but back in the '90s when Into The Great Wide Open came out it was one of the first CD's I bought. As opposed to traditional vinyl albums.
Well, while grousing to myself about how the CD's wouldn't be nearly as cool as album covers for art and information, I found an address. I LOVED that album, and had to admit I was wrong about the art & info aspects, so I wrote.
I didn't expect anything in return, but for the next few years I got updates and special deals on upcoming events. Kind of cool of them. I wish he'd lived longer.

Very cool. For some reason I remember Into The Great Wide Open came out on my birthday. Definitely had to buy that after listening to Full Moon Fever a million times and then buying his entire catalog released before it.
I caught the very end of the vinyl era. Had a few albums and a few more 45s but then we went to cassettes. Man those were terrible. I had quite a few. I wore out quite a few. I replaced many of them on CD. And now CDs are dinosaurs. I still buy some but download most of my purchases, which are few and far between. Thank God for Youtube and Spotify.

Just goes to show, never mess with someone over 40 unless you’re ready to get serious. What we lack in stamina we make up for in “ don’t give a f$&k. “
Eagles find frosty welcome in Minneapolis from Vikings fans
No sh1t. This isn't as much about the beatdown the Eagles put on the Vikings as it is about the Eagles fans being complete pieces of human waste. I hate that the Eagles fans are making me cheer for the Patriots. Final paragraph in this article: Some Vikings fans complained they were mistreated in Philadelphia on Jan. 21 before, during and after the NFC Championship loss. One video showed Eagles' fans chucking full cans of beer at a group in Vikings gear. Starting quarterback Case Keenum said his family needed extra security during the game. http://www.mitchellrepublic.com/node/4396100

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

The officer was fine, the deer didn't make it.
You know that countertop did look familiar, and he did have a big crop this year.
