Husband, dad, South Florida sports fan, love the Panthers, the Heat and the Dolphins. Tough to love the Marlins. I'm still loyal though.

He needs to grab a bat. Even in his forties, he’s a much better hitter than eight of the nine players in the Marlins lineup. Woeful.

@AdamSchefter This just needs the announcer to yell, “Whittenburg!” like when it happened for NC State back in 1983.

@HawkEmDownChris Florida Panthers great Denis Shvidki.

Remember this “hot take” if Buffalo wins game 7 at home tomorrow night.

Jake Evans shorthanded. 3-1 Habs. Lyon gets the hook. The streets are going fucking BANANAS outside. This is over. We knew this was coming.

I remember watching this live and just howling laughing for 5 straight minutes

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.

Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.

"It's okay," I said. "Take it."

He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.

I used to be a math tutor.

I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"

He nodded. "I don't get it."

I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.

The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.

The day after that, five kids came.

Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."

Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.

Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.

"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."

I'm not closing the bakery.

I think I finally found my purpose.

It's not cookies. It's community.

[Danny Ramos @dramos70]

Character is underrated. It is revealed when times are tough. I wish Mark Fletcher success in the NFL.

[MLFootball @MLFootball]

CLASS ACT: Miami star RB Mark Fletcher came out of the locker room to find Fernando Mendoza after the game and congratulate him.

Fletcher reportedly stood there for a while waiting to give the proper congratulations.

Really great sportsmanship 👏❤️

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

A 19-year-old making minimum wage just taught a billionaire what integrity looks like.
Joey Prusak was working the counter at a Dairy Queen in Hopkins, Minnesota, when he noticed something that made his stomach turn.
A blind customer had just finished ordering. As the man turned to walk away, a $20 bill slipped from his pocket and floated to the floor. He had no idea.
Joey expected what would happen next. The woman standing behind the blind man would tap his shoulder and hand him his money back.
That's not what happened.
Instead, she looked directly at the blind man struggling to put his wallet away. She watched him walk past her. Then she bent down, picked up the $20, and slipped it into her purse.
Joey couldn't believe what he just witnessed.
When the woman stepped up to the counter to order, Joey did something that could have gotten him fired. He looked her in the eye and asked her to return the money to the man she had just stolen from.
She refused.
She claimed the $20 was hers. She said she had dropped it herself.
Joey asked again. She refused again.
So the 19-year-old manager made a decision. He told her plainly: "I'm not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you. Please return the money or leave this store."
The woman exploded. She started yelling. She cursed at him. But Joey stayed calm.
She stormed out without her ice cream.
But Joey wasn't finished.
He walked over to the blind man, who was sitting peacefully eating his sundae, completely unaware of what had just happened. Joey reached into his own pocket, pulled out a $20 bill from his own wallet, and handed it to the customer.
Joey made about $10 an hour. That $20 represented two hours of his work.
He didn't tell anyone about it. He didn't post about it. He just went back to serving customers.
But someone else in line had watched the entire thing unfold.
That customer went home and wrote an email to Dairy Queen. The email said: "I was in shock by the generosity that your employee had, taking his own money out of his own wallet to give to the customer because some other lady decided to steal something that wasn't hers. Joey has forever sealed my fate as a lifelong customer."
The store owner printed the email and pinned it to the employee bulletin board.
A coworker snapped a photo and posted it on Facebook.
Within days, Joey's story had traveled around the world.
Then something unbelievable happened.
Joey's phone rang. On the other end was Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world. Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns Dairy Queen.
The billionaire didn't call to offer business advice. He called to say two words: Thank you.
"He thanked me for being a role model for all the other employees and people in general," Joey later said.
But the rewards kept coming.
Strangers started showing up at the store. A woman ran up to Joey with an envelope full of cash for his college fund. A man drove all the way from another town just to hand Joey $100, saying he deserved five times what he had given away.
Radio shows invited him on as a guest. Companies offered him jobs. The Minnesota Wild hockey team called and gave him a private suite for 20 of his closest friends.
All because a teenager refused to stay silent when he saw something wrong.
When reporters asked Joey why he did it, his answer was simple: "I was just doing what I thought was right. I did it without even really thinking about it."
He paused, then added something that stuck with people: "Ninety-nine out of 100 people would've done the same thing as me."
Maybe he's right. Maybe most of us would do the same thing.
But Joey Prusak is the one who actually did it.
He didn't have power. He didn't have wealth. He didn't have influence. He was just a teenager behind a counter, making $10 an hour, with nothing but his integrity and a $20 bill.
And that was enough to remind millions of people what doing the right thing looks like.

Paul Maurice speaks on the impact of Aleksander Barkov’s injury and what it means for the Panthers.

[Danny Ramos @dramos70]

The most difficult part of all this is that Barkov has such high character. It hurts Panthers fans because we all want to be more like him. Great player, great person, great leader. Speedy recovery, Captain. ♥️ 🙏

[Jessica Blaylock @JessBlaylock]

The official statement on Barkov: Panthers Captain Aleksander Barkov suffered injuries to his ACL & MCL at yesterday’s practice. Today he underwent successful surgery. He will be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis. The expected recovery timeline for these injuries is 7 to 9 months.

Carter Verhaeghe told me during our pregame interview that it’s usually Brad Marchand AND Nate Schmidt who organize their @DairyQueen excursions. Other important notes-

-Schmidt has treated the group both times
-Marchand is the “biggest DQ advocate there is” Verhaeghe says he deserves a sponsorship deal
-Verhaeghe’s order is the cookie dough blizzard
