Judging by how many people sent in this tip, you may have already seen this. If not, it is well worth the read. Bernie Kosar- “The worst feeling in the world is being Dad on Friday night at home at midnight and they haven’t gotten home yet,” he says. His daughter rolled her car the other day, getting ejected as it sank into a lake. ”Memorial Day, I should have been doing the funeral for her,” he says. “This other chaos is just stuff. Money. I’ll make more. It feels bad. It sucks the life and energy out of you and is a relentless drain. But I’m going to come out of this fine. I always get up.” Dan LeBatard/Miami Herald

Donald Fehr resigns as Baseball’s union chief. “Fehr presided over a two-day strike in 1985 followed by a 32-day lockout in 1990 and a 7½-month strike in 1994-95 that wiped out the World Series for the first time in 90 years. That stoppage ended only when the National Labor Relations Board, at the union’s behest, obtained an injunction to restore work rules from U.S. District Judge Sonia Sotomayor, nominated last month by President Barack Obama for the Supreme Court.” ESPN.com

Nice piece over at Let’s Go Tribe on the debacle that is this season- “Can we discuss this like adults? Should we even try? Hard to say. It is so much simpler just to say, fire the manager. The Indians have failed; we know that much. We have a pretty clear idea how they’ve failed, but we’re pretty fuzzy on why. There are web forums now boiling over with the usual reasons and theories, the sorts of things that get dismissed here out of hand. For most of those theories, it’s time to redouble our dismissiveness – the problem surely isn’t that we’ve failed to give Barfield more of an opportunity. For others, it may be time to reconsider.” Jay/Let’s Go Tribe

Finally, a trip down memory lane from Cleveland Frowns. The video of the Kardiac Kids brought back some great memories. Worth the watching. If you know who Brian Sipe is. Cleveland Frowns

Did Rick channel his inner Harry Doyle for the Bernie article intro?
That Bernie article is by Dan LeBatard. It’s also really something.
That’s a sad story about Bernie. I guess it throws the old “cheap Slovenian” thing out the window.
Damn. LBJ to the Chargers? That’s crazy

Nah, they’re going to relocate the Cavs to SD, become the San Deigo Chosen One’s. They’ll sign Yao in 2010 and win 10 straight championships in front of 1/2 full crowds because San Deigo fans will be outside enjoying their balmy “Winter” weather.
If any of you have ever been on UC San Diego’s campus, you’d know why. As soon as I set foot in that place I realized I wasted what was supposed to be the best 5 years of my life in Western PA. They have dorms that look out over the ocean. A bunch of my family went there.
San Diago – Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Anybody see that the Rockies are 19-5 since they canned their manager? Think getting rid of the Grindmaster wouldn’t have a similar effect?
lolz @ grindmaster
…LBJ will be in Anchorman II
dangit…denny beat me to it…
Just a heads up, you guys are linking to page 4 of 4 on the Kosar article… should probably go to page one.
Thanks…link fixed
The Bernie article is sad, he is a broken man, but still indomitable .
I would wager that the cumulative effects of all of his head injuries combined with the substance abuse is responsible for a great deal of his erratic behavior and executive decision-making problems. Neuropathologically, the brain tissues of guys who have suffered multiple concussions is often analogous to the tissues of people in their 70s, 80s or 90s.
I’ll be pulling for him to bounce back.
