Charlie Sheen reveals the time he spent $7,000 on 2,200 seats to catch a Cecil Fielder home run
“That was April 1996. I did it for Cecil Fielder. In Anaheim at the Big A”
“I called because I wanted to sit in that section. They said, ‘Well, that section’s closed. It’s an underattended game.’ I said, ‘Okay, what about this? How many seats are in that section?’”
“They were like, ‘Uh, 2,200.’ And I said, ‘What if I wanted to buy all of them? What kind of break could you cut me? What kind of deal could you swing?’ I think it came out to something like $7,000”
“It was left field. I wanted to force the hand of the baseball gods and not just catch a foul ball, but catch a home run ball. I figured if I’ve got the entire left-field stands with a couple buddies of mine, I’ve stacked the deck”
“We were hammered. We barely made it to the game. There’s also a great shot in Sports Illustrated of me standing like this with a glove and the empty stands behind me”
“We didn’t catch anything that night. And the next night, not just in that section, but in our seats, four home runs were hit. You can’t force the hand of the baseball gods”
Randy Moss and Myles Garrett after Will Anderson Jr. lost a bass while fishing:
Randy Moss: “Must’ve been one of them dual-threat QBs you couldn’t get your hands on.”
Myles Garrett: “That was Lamar right there.” 😭
Jeter was the face of the Yankees. He sat in that clubhouse every night, watched teammates stick needles in their asses, won a WS MVP and rings off the back of it and said nothing. For years. Not until reporters dragged it into the light.
“Innocent” is a word you use for a kid who didn’t know what was happening.
Jeter knew. He profited. He stayed quiet. Jeter let the entire sport eat the consequences while he kept the trophies.
I don’t think he gets enough criticism for it. I don’t think any player, manager or coach from the Yankees should be allowed to even buy a ticket to the HOF, let alone get inducted into it.
Hearing rumblings that your favorite team is either looking to move up or trade back or draft the greatest player in history or whiff on a complete bust. Buckle Up.
Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech
He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not.
Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive.
That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt.
At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea.
Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right.
Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.
