AND HIS NAME IS…

I have a special treat for you! WWE Monday Night Raw is at the First Niagara Center this Monday the 28th. If you’re going, I’ll see you there (I’ll be wearing my “I’m a Paul Heyman Guy” t-shirt). I got the opportunity to interview a WWE Superstar to promote the event. I didn’t know quite what to expect going in, though it definitely ended up getting a little intense. Hear the full interview by clicking HERE.

My favorite EPL team is Tottenham Hotspur, though that’s mostly because I closed my eyes and pointed when trying to find a favorite team. They’ve been solid this season, so in that regard, it’s worked out okay. However, they’re a bit lacking in another department. They were honoring Wayne Gretzky recently, though maybe should have done some double-checking before the ceremonies.

Yesterday was the anniversary of one of the most legendary press conference rants of all time. “I’m a man! I’m 40!” Mike Gundy, while still a man, is 48 now, and looking back on that fateful day, it all turned out pretty well. He claims it’s improved recruiting and the program as a whole. This feels like good news and bad news. On one hand, coaches may try to hard to get a rant to go viral, and will look awful and cringeworthy as a result. On the other hand, that sounds even more hilarious.

We lost a great man yesterday. Yogi Berra passed away at 90. As great of a player and manager as he was, 90% of his legacy will be half-mental. His quotes and quips are unforgettable, until you forget them. If you need a quick refresher, here’s 35 of his classic lines.

HIPSTER SONG OF THE DAY

Happy birthday to probably my favorite songwriter of all time. 66 and still outperforming guys half his age.

“Prove it All Night” by Bruce Springsteen
