@HQNewsNow Jesus Christ, imagine playing Connect Four with this guy as a kid? He just keeps dropping the board whenever he’s crashing out

@KentMurphy Blue wanted to toss the runner just for trying

@VicLombardi Such big look at me, told you so energy. Brilliant call, he’s going to go with $80M more next season. And he owes you, his best buddy, to tell you his plan…

[Corey Hash @CwHash22]

@VicLombardi Can you

[Corey Hash @CwHash22]

@Zona_Baseball You’re no longer moving the bat, just holding onto it

[Corey Hash @CwHash22]

@JohnCleese This was a simple prediction. I can’t believe I didn’t bet on it. I’m sure there were many who did

[Corey Hash @CwHash22]

@TXTwinsfan @Super70sSports He was coming off the injured list with a leg injury. If he could go batter by batter then that’s what you do

[Corey Hash @CwHash22]

@Super70sSports He’s coming off the IL with a leg injury…

Here’s the conversation: “Eury, how is your leg feeling? Fine? Ok get back out there and finish what you started son.”

@Super70sSports The only danger was kids with wuss parents that wouldn’t buy them. I could throw these straight up in the air and then stand aside. Because 95 percent of the time you threw them in the back yard by yourself

@EchoesofWarYT I played football with his brother

[Corey Hash @CwHash22]

@_HistoryNerd Dude takes the watch, then just puts it face down on the table doesn’t even hand it back

On this day in 1776, the United States was actually born. Not July 4. July 2. That's the day the Continental Congress voted to break from Britain, and John Adams was so certain of it that he predicted July 2 would be the great American holiday forever. He nailed everything except the date.

The vote came down to the wire, and one man had to ride through the night to save it. Delaware's delegation was split, one for independence, one against, which meant the colony's vote canceled itself out. The tie-breaker, Caesar Rodney, was 80 miles away in Delaware. He got word that he was needed and rode all night through a summer thunderstorm, sick and in pain, boots and spurs still on, and made it into Philadelphia just in time to cast Delaware's vote for independence.

The other holdouts fell into place too. In Pennsylvania, the men most opposed, including John Dickinson, deliberately stayed away from the chamber so their colony could swing to yes. South Carolina came around for the sake of a united front. When the roll was called, twelve colonies voted for independence and not a single one voted against. New York simply abstained, waiting on permission from home.

And so, on July 2, 1776, it was done. The colonies had legally, officially declared themselves free. The next day Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that this day "will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival," with "pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations." Fireworks and all. He was describing the Fourth of July two days early.

So why do we celebrate the 4th? Because that's the day Congress approved the final wording of the document explaining the decision, the Declaration of Independence. The vote to be free happened on the 2nd. The paperwork got finished on the 4th, and history remembered the paperwork.

The country was actually born in a rainstorm and a roll call on July 2, thanks in part to one sick man who refused to let a tie decide the fate of a nation.

@markschlereth You preach running the ball to win games. I understand it’s not apples to apples to your time in Denver. Can you talk about the differences?

[Corey Hash @CwHash22]

@markschlereth Mark, I’m rewatching the Elway Documentary. Dan Reeves was an old school coach that believed in running the ball to win games. However back in the 80s throughout Dan’s tenure the games were mostly won in the last half of the 4th on John’s arm. 1/2
