ESPN Is worse than any left-wing news media outlet.

When Megan Rapinoe, Billie Jean King, Simone Biles, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, Naomi Osaka or Coco Gauff speak about politics it’s “heroic” and “Bigger than Sports” but when Sophie Cunningham answers a political question she was asked it’s a “distraction from the game” and “disgusting”??????

When did we let our sports and media get so politically bias. We are being indoctrinated and unfortunately most of you are lapping it up.

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….

Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...

Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.

To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.

When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.

Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.

….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.

May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

"Dewey Evans was a great offensive player and one of the greatest right fielder`s to play the game;
There’s no doubt in my mind that he belongs in the Baseball HOF."
Carl Yastrzemski.
Dwight Evans is the only player in history to win eight Gold Gloves while also leading his league for a decade in home runs and all of MLB in extra base hits and runs created.
Evans is one of just 13 players to have at least 2,400 hits, 1,450 runs, 1,375 walks, 1,375 RBI, 480 doubles and 385 home runs.
Of those 13, Evans is the only player previously eligible, not to have been enshrined in Cooperstown.
Dwight Evans has the same career OPS+ as Rickey Henderson (127), a higher one than Ernie Banks, Johnny Bench, Yogi Berra, Paul Molitor and Kirby Puckett.
Dwight Evans’ WAR (61.8), is higher than Andre Dawson, Harmon Killebrew, Willie Stargell, Billy Williams and Dave Winfield.
ALWAYS in my HOF!!!

Texas should be in a special session right now to start ELIMINATING PROPERTY TAXES….

And to MAKE BIRTH TOURISM A FELONY.

Why isn’t Texas leading??

I was raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO because a person’s character matters more than their job title.

Not surprising. Same airline that boarded Kevin McCalister with no boarding ticket.
