"If it gets down to a point where you guys think I screw up, it might take me three or four days to learn this because I am pretty smart"
@cravetheauto for this weekends autograph session in Oaks will I be able to get my photo taken and then have it signed or is it just a photo sent to me?
It’s time for all of our Old @steelers’ a$ses to go to therapy! We are tripping. We taking bad bout coach T. We talking bad bout each other. Man we won Chips together. Let’s keep the family business family. We are old. It doesn’t matter.
Everyone has different locker room experiences. Ben needed to grow, Joey was amazing and Coach T was phenomenal. Heck, I’m sure some teammates hate me, but I love y’all. Hot my line. I’m gonna set up the zoom.
@thepivot Pivotal Points!

"Yadier Molina is overrated"
He's literally top 10 all-time among catchers in fWAR (55.6)
"Yadier Molina was a bad hitter"
His wRC+ is within 7 points of both Salvy Perez and Pudge.
You'll never hear a former player or coach say he wasnt great. Those who saw him play, know.
The quick serve restaurant at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Capt. Cook’s, was originally known as Captain Cook’s Hideaway, an intimate lounge and the earliest after-hours drinking spot for cast members in the resort’s first decade after opening in 1971. It featured just 53 seats including a candlelit outdoor patio that still exists today. The lounge hosted the in-house folk-rock duo Salt Water Express (Bob Christopher and Gary Stratton) in the early 1970s, who performed nightly and released a 1972 novelty hit single "Can You Arrive Alive on 535?" poking fun at Florida traffic; the band later renegotiated contracts and faded from Disney by the early 1980s, with no known surviving recordings.
Disney Legend Leota Toombs Thomas began her Disney career at just 15 years old in 1940, starting in the Ink and Paint department where she traced animators' drawings onto celluloid, as that was the only animation role available to women at the time. After leaving Disney in 1947 to raise her children, Launie and Kim, she returned in 1962 as one of the company's first female Imagineers, working alongside Harriet Burns, Joyce Carlson, and Glendra von Kessel in the WED Model Shop. Her face was chosen for Madame Leota in the Haunted Mansion because her eyes were the perfect distance apart for the test model. She also was the model and voice for the tiny Bride at the end of the ride.
When Disney-MGM Studios opened, it featured the world’s largest Hidden Mickey! Sadly, the park doesn't look quite like this anymore. The good news is even larger Hidden Mickeys have popped up elsewhere since!
The “Sharing the Magic” statue of Roy O. Disney and Minnie Mouse on Main Street, U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom was originally meant to be placed inside Town Square, directly opposite the “Partners” statue of Walt and Mickey, so the two brothers would “bookend” the park, with Walt welcoming guests at the hub, and Roy seeing them off at the exit. However, Imagineers discovered that the planned location obstructed parade traffic, so they moved it to its current spot near the flagpole and the Town Square Theater.
