Identical twins Austin and Tyler Jones umpired their first MLB game together today in Baltimore.
They broke in together in the Minors in 2014 and haven't worked on the same field in over ten years!
@L8on86@BumTradyBOAT@Barkley_Tap Totally different era when Brady was in his early 20s. People forget he led the NFL in TD passes in his 2nd season as starter....with 27!
Logan Ryan says he spent 4 years trying to beat Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Julian Edelman to work and never did
“Tom Brady was a great leader. He told me, ‘If you ever need anything, I’m here all day.’ I said, ‘Well, what time do you get here?’ He just said, ‘Early.’ I said, ‘How early is early?’ And he goes, ‘Early.’”
“We started our days at 7:30am, so I came in at 6:30. You were there. Brady was there. Bill was there. Then I came in at 6:00am. Brady was there. You were there. Bill was there.”
“In New England, we didn’t have assigned parking spots. It was first come, first serve. There wasn’t a spot for the head coach, a spot for Tom Brady, a spot for Julian Edelman. It was a free-for-all.”
“So I started coming in at 5:30am, 5:45, 5:15, then 5:00 AM. I was like, ‘I can’t do anything earlier than 5:00am. That’s just getting ridiculous. I’m not getting enough sleep.’”
“So I came in at 5:00am every day for four years. And Brady was there. You were there. Bill was there. I was the fourth car there for four straight years.”
“When I went to Tennessee, I came in at 5:00am every day and was the second car there with Vrabel. My 5am routine came from trying to beat you guys to work every day. I knew that you could talk how you talked and play how you played because you put the work in to earn that.”
“Everywhere I went after that, I was the first car in the parking lot. Did I have to be? Not all the time. But I made that my routine. I made it normal. I got all that from how early you guys got there every day.”
This should make you angry.
This is Bonnie Pierce, a 38-year-old mother of three from St. Paul, Minnesota. Her house caught fire. She and two of her children escaped, then realized her toddler was still inside.
Bonnie went back in, found the child, but could not get out. She shielded the child with her body. She died from her burns. The child survived.
A GoFundMe for her family raised about $42,000.
By comparison, more than $1,000,000 was raised on GoFundMe for Lindsay Clancy, who was charged with killing her children.
It is a sad reflection of the society we have become.
RIP Bonnie.
Unleashed pitbull tries to bite Clydesdale, gets kicked into oblivion. Owner of pitbull blames the horse. Pitbulls are the "didn du nuffins of the dog world."
@TomCaron Arguments for both sides. Jones has been killing lefties and an OBP machine. The Mick due to come back to earth. Personally I would have optioned Monasterio over Siegs. They'll be back in 48 hours though.
@notgaetti And while we're at it, "the relay flip" in the playoffs to get a sleeping Jeremy Giambi is even more overrated. Always thought that play was blown out of proportion.
