This is outstanding.

When I think of the prospect of losing one of my children at such a tender age, I can't focus on that thought for long, it's so... unimaginably painful, like trying to stare at the sun. My mind reflexively turns away in self defense.

I feel very sad for him and his family. Kudos to the team, too.

Russell Wilson, 5'11", demonstrates uncanny accuracy with a blind back-corner touchdown pass over a choir practicing in the end zone.

See, he can't see over the choir to see where he's throwing, don'tchya see?

This guy (former A, former Cardinal Mark Mulder) supposedly has the best strike three call anywhere, you be the judge:



I like it.

The man loved his Browns...or not.

An old maid friend of Momdigr's requests all female pall bearers...says that if men wouldn't take her out while she was alive, she don't want them taking her out after she's dead.

:D - You're on a roll again.

That's mean.

Ha ha ha ha ha

Poor Eli.

I think the retro uniforms are fun. But I couldn't NOT laugh at the Steelers' Bees in Prison motif! :lol:

That one bee is carrying pollen on his left leg.

I know! We were all chuckling about their uniforms yesterday.

I was watching with a group of old friends with some new friends. One new friend is a really cool lady who happens to be a Steelers fan. Since I'm the anti-Steeler she and I had a good laugh...and even she was laughing at the uniforms. Big Ben got revenge on me for smack-talking by having a good game!

I suppose a moderator could delete post #134, since the goddamned video decided to disappear.

And this post as well.

Or not. #couldn'tbepaidtocare,really

The funny thing about the funny uniforms is that the Steelers tend to play well in them.

Since the video appears for me, this is a trap!

I see it. :confused:

Well...

It was there. Then it wasn't. And now it is again.

Ima STFU now.

Honda Insight running right around 180-190mph: Whoops.

roll cages are a good thing

Plus you rarely see fires anymore.

Wow. The driver was moving around in there. Jesus.

I looked it up. He survived, and information is a little scarce on his current condition, but he apparently suffered a collapsed lung, and a bunch of bruising and a cut on his leg. He's out of the hospital now.

His head was restrained in the car, so during all those rolls, it didn't snap around and break his neck. I'm surprised his brain didn't get literally scrambled though. I'd think flipping at that speed, his brain would turn to jello inside his skull.

What the hell is that shit?!

Was that from the "Just How Hard Can We Make The Simplest Fucking Thing On Earth" series? Hell, the guy coulda worked a Rube Goldberg machine in there, without raising the difficulty anymore.

Amateurs, pfft.

I could have included that info, I guess...Sorry.

Here's the same crash, in slow motion. In a rough count, I count fourteen-sixteen times the top and bottom of that car swap places, barrel rolls and endovers combined.

There's probably some rule that they pick up all the debris to prevent others from hitting it and also wiping out. That would be a sucky job that would take a couple days. A debris field at least half a mile long and a hundred yards wide.

You'd need to do it systematically to make sure you got everything. Maybe set out cones and just go back and forth with a pickup truck and a couple of guys, moving the cones 10 feet each time you finish a row.

And then you have to replace the divots.

The vid does the 'splaining:



Also, that guy said the ball was "a foot" back from the post...Ain't you Brits on this here new-fangled "Metric System"?

cool video.

UNLIKE the egg, the guy's head is only rotating (roughly) in one direction. the egg REVERSES direction several times, and at high speed. it's that reversing that shears the liquid from the shell causing the mixing.

Whatever that guy's head was doing, I guarantee, it was doing it "roughly".

Yeah, good luck with that.

Martin Maldonado knocks the hide off the ball. Literally.

Look at it: (watch the third baseman's expression when he picks up the ball for the throw to first, "WTF?")



Read about it.

re cover off the ball, that was priceless! I've heard that phrase a thousand times, and the announcers, for once, get to use their hyperbole in a factual way. Never before, and almost certainly, never again. pretty amazing.

This doesn't really belong in "cool anything", it is decidedly uncool. What I'm talking about is throwing a ball. Or, rather the inability to throw a ball. Come on, now, it's a ball!!

I understand that some people can't throw a ball. In that situation why, WHY, would you ever agree to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game? In front of a huge crowd, on TV, even?

What makes it even worse is when it's a guy. Even worse than that, is when the person is a professional athlete.

Here's Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, throwing out the first pitch (with added commentary):



Yeah, 'Fiddy' throws like a little girl.

Mark Wahlberg? Throws like a guy having a grand mal seizure...Carl Lewis? Throws like a little girl throwing with the wrong hand...Baba Booey? Throws like a little girl with no hands. I will bet, that somewhere in America is a little girl with no hands that throws better than Baba Booey.



Has this ever happened:

MLB: "Would you like to throw out the first pitch?"

This should the thought pattern that occurs next:

Non-thrower: Uh-oh, I bet that involves throwing a ball. I can't throw a ball. I'll embarrass myself, and my friends. In front of a crowd. In front of a potentially huge crowd. In front of millions watching on tv.

Non-thrower: "I'll do it."

Now, when this all comes together, it's arranged well ahead of time. Many schedules have to be accommodated. What I'm getting at is that these folks have plenty of time to learn to throw a ball. Do they practice? No.

Dumbasses.

Practice? Celebrity A practices, drills it close to the plate, gets on the evening news.
Celebrity B doesn't practice, drills the right field ball girl in the head, gets on the evening news all over the world, and on all the weekend sports wrap-ups, then goes viral on youtube with 73 billion hits.
Who's agent do you want to be? :haha:

I wanna be the agent of the person that can throw a fucking ball.

I don't want to be associated with the person who can't throw a fucking ball.

Fine, if they're going to throw a ball for a living.
But if they are going to make a living by being a celebrity, like most of the first pitch fools, you'd starve. ;)

xoB is right, Grav. I don't even have the TV on, or YouTube, only the radio, NPR not TMZ , and I've heard this story. As you can imagine, it's not really a story made for radio.... And yet, the throw was *so bad*, we're talking about it, talking about "Fiddy-cent" (I know it's spelled 50 cent, but the reporter even got the pronunciation right).

I kinda want to see it. :-$




Ps, I don't know what a smilie with a dollar sign means, really, but $$$$$ seemed apropos.

It's in the video a couple posts up above.

Or, you could just watch former NHL-er Joe Sakic make a hole in one, and earn $500,000 for the LiveStrong Foundation, and $500,000 for hisowndamnself:

Here's a comparison.

G.W. - dead center of the strike zone. I saw when he threw the first pitch for the World Series after 9/11. It's a very good story behind that pitch ("Mr. President, do not 'bounce' this pitch.", or something like that).

Nolan Ryan - 6 - 8 feet behind the batter? I call bullshit. Even when he's ninety, and in a wheelchair, Nolan Ryan's gonna put that ball across the plate. Verne Troyer outthrows Nolan Ryan? What planet was this on?

Maybe Ryan was aiming at a reporter who had offended him. :lol:

Heh, I just did a little reading on Mr. Ryan over at Wikipedia:
