If sports movies and uplifting soft-rock songs make you tear up, this rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'" may get you all Favrey.
The Giants just clinched the National League Division Series with a 3-2 win over the Braves, so this video remains relevant. The San Francisco-Philadelphia series starts Saturday. Pitching should be decent.
If you choose to watch the following video - I can't refund you the 3 minutes and 29 seconds. And yes, I said - THE RALLY THONG.
I thought it couldn't get worse than Sweet Caroline. I was wrong.
Fuck you for that, Boston.
Elimination-- Take 2:
Atlanta Braves Eliminated - Cox Retired
Injury...meet insult. Bobby Cox’s final season as Braves manager is in the books. The team is eliminated and a cake ordered for his honor on Capitol Hill spelled his name incorrectly.
I mean, REALLY incorrectly.
Cox was being honored for his 50 years in baseball. Senators Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) hosted a ceremony, inviting the Braves’ manager, as well as players and officials. But the cake, which was to read, “Thanks for 50 great years Bobby Cox” had an unfortunate and profane misspelling of his last name.
Come on. I know the Braves probably should have won another World Series or two during Cox’s reign. But isn’t this a little harsh for a sendoff?
Here is the cake after some nifty editing by Isakson staffers.
Tribute.
Following the game, the Giants showed class by bringing their celebration to a halt to honor Cox as he acknowledged the standing ovation from the crowd. If you missed it...
Green Bay Packers Injury Report
The Green Bay Packers are preparing for the possibility starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have to skip this week’s game against Miami because of the concussion he sustained on his final pass — the overtime interception — of Sunday’s loss against Washington. You think that Green Bay wishes that they still had Bret Favre? He never misses a game.
Hit of The Week
Stanford QB lays out USC's Shareece Wright.
I love this video. The announcers dig it the most. Andrew Luck, Stanford’s QB and NFL prospect takes out his aggression - following a fumble - and drills USC’s Shareece Wright. I’m sure the entire Stanford coaching staff and fan base was holding it’s collective breathe, but damn was that sweet.
Until tomorrow morning. Enjoy the 12th of October.
