@tuffycentral Things that are truly ruining baseball:
-How the sport has become unaffordable for 50% of Americans.
-How even if you can afford it, you’re asked to make a time commitment that many families are choosing not to make for multiple reason.
I live in Council Bluffs Iowa no pro mlb close! Cubs Royals and Twins are blacked out all the time . Even if you buy the mlb package! And they wonder why they lose fans
MLB and FOX totally fucked Braves and Reds fans in Nashville on Saturday night by showing Cubs-Cardinals. If MLB is going insist that the Braves and Reds own the Nashville territory, they should not legally be allowed to black out a Braves or Reds game in Nashville.
The night Jerry Lawler suffered a heart attack live on WWE Raw in 2012 while doing commentary in Montreal. He collapsed at the announcers’ table during the show.
Michael Cole first thought Jerry was pretending to sleep. But when Cole turned around, Jerry was face-first on the table, snoring into the microphone.
Cole immediately called for doctors.

My daughter got detention for defending her late Marine father — but when FOUR MEN IN UNIFORM walked into the school the next day, the entire building went silent.
"Mrs. Harrison, you have to understand: Grace’s behavior was completely UNACCEPTABLE. We respect your husband’s service to this country, but..." her teacher said.
My 14-year-old daughter sat beside me, her eyes glassy.
The day before, one of her classmates had made a joke about Grace not having a father.
He was a Marine. Grace was only three when we lost him.
So when that girl laughed and said, "Maybe your dad just didn’t want to come back," something inside Grace snapped.
She shot to her feet so fast that her chair slammed to the floor.
Through tears, she shouted,
"My dad was a HERO. Don’t you ever talk about him like that again!"
She was the one who got detention.
She barely said a word the whole way home. That night, I found her sitting on the floor in my husband’s old sweatshirt.
"I’m sorry I got in trouble," she whispered. "I just couldn’t let her say that about him."
My heart cracked wide open.
The next morning, the school called an emergency assembly.
I assumed it had something to do with Spirit Week. A few minutes after the first bell, Grace texted me from the auditorium.
Then my phone rang.
"Mom..." she whispered, her voice shaky. "You need to come."
I stood up so fast I knocked over my coffee.
"What happened? Grace, are you okay?"
There was a long silence on the other end.
"Mom... four men in uniform just walked into the school."
"Hide right now. What’s happening? I’m calling the police!"
But Grace laughed.
"No, Mom, they’re not doing anything bad. You have no idea WHAT JUST HAPPENED! Just get here, please!" she said, before the line went dead.
I didn't bother grabbing my purse. I threw my keys into the ignition, my heart hammering against my ribs, and sped to the high school. When I burst through the double doors of the auditorium, I stopped dead in my tracks.
The room, packed with over eight hundred teenagers, was completely, eerily silent.
Down the center aisle stood four imposing figures in impeccable Marine Corps Dress Blues. The brass buttons caught the overhead lights, and their crisp white covers were tucked sharply under their arms. I recognized the man at the front immediately. It was Staff Sergeant Miller—my late husband’s closest friend and squad leader. I had called him in tears the night before, just needing someone who understood the weight of the disrespect Grace had faced. I hadn't expected him to do *this*.
The principal, Mr. Davis, stood awkwardly at the podium, looking completely out of his depth.
Staff Sergeant Miller didn't wait for permission to speak. He stepped up to the front, taking the microphone from the stand, and his booming, authoritative voice echoed through the massive room.
"We apologize for the interruption, Principal Davis," Miller said, though his tone suggested he wasn't sorry at all. "But we received word that a young lady in this school was being disciplined for defending the honor of a fallen United States Marine."
A collective gasp rippled through the student body. The teacher who had given Grace detention slunk back into her seat in the front row, her face turning crimson.
Miller’s heavy gaze swept across the bleachers. "Where is Grace Harrison?"
Grace stood up slowly from the middle row, still wearing her dad’s oversized sweatshirt.
"Come down here, Grace," Miller commanded gently.
As she walked down the bleacher steps, the three other Marines broke formation and fell perfectly into step behind her, creating an impromptu honor guard. They escorted her to the center of the floor.
Miller turned to face the silent crowd. "Captain Mark Harrison didn't just 'not want to come back.' He gave his life pulling three wounded men out of a burning transport vehicle in the middle of a firefight. I know, because I was one of those men. None of us standing here today would be breathing if it weren't for Grace's father."
The silence in the room was absolute. You could have heard a pin drop. A few rows up, the girl who had made the cruel joke the day before was staring at her shoes, visibly crying.
Miller turned back to Grace and dropped to one knee, bringing himself to eye level with her. He pulled a small, velvet box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a gleaming Challenge Coin from their old unit.
"Grace," he said, his voice thick with emotion but loud enough for the microphone to carry. "Your father was the bravest man I ever knew. You stood your ground yesterday, just like he would have. You protected his honor, and now, his squad is here to protect yours. We have your back. Always."
He pressed the heavy metal coin into her palm, stood up, and then all four Marines snapped a crisp, perfectly unified salute to my fourteen-year-old daughter.
Tears streamed down Grace's face, but they weren't tears of anger or shame anymore. She stood tall, squared her shoulders, and returned a clumsy but beautiful salute of her own.
Suddenly, from the back row of the bleachers, a single student stood up and started clapping. Then another. Within seconds, the entire auditorium erupted into a deafening standing ovation. Even Mr. Davis and the teachers were on their feet.
I hurried down the aisle, wiping away my own tears, and wrapped Grace in a massive hug. Staff Sergeant Miller tipped his head to me, a fierce, protective glint in his eye.
Before we could leave the building, Principal Davis rushed over to us in the hallway. He looked thoroughly chastised.
"Mrs. Harrison, Grace," he stammered, wringing his hands. "I... I want to formally apologize. The detention has been completely wiped from her record. We will be handling the bullying incident with the other student appropriately, and frankly, I think our staff needs a heavy refresher on empathy."
Grace squeezed the coin in her hand, looking up at the four men in uniform who had dropped everything to stand by her side. She didn't need to say a word. The message had been delivered loud and clear.
Captain Mark Harrison had left a legacy of courage behind, and that day, an entire school learned exactly what it meant to be a hero's daughter.
NEW: Police officer saves a 3-year-old boy by shooting a woman who abducted and stabbed him at a Walmart in Nebraska.
Noemi Guzman, who once attacked her father with a knife & set his house on fire before breaking into a church, is dead.
Guzman was back on the streets following the attack on her father, thanks to the fact that she was found not guilty by "reason of insanity."
Omaha police say they arrived at the scene to find Guzman, 31, threatening the child with the knife.
After refusing to comply with verbal orders and slashing the child in the head, officers opened fire.
"The responding officers acted with professionalism and direct action to intervene and save a child's life," said Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer.
"The community can be reassured in knowing that Omaha police officers stand ready to act with courage and decisiveness in the most serious situations to protect the public."
The child is expected to survive.

🚨 BREAKING: Chicago Bulls waive young guard Jaden Ivey after he preached Jesus Christ and called out the NBA’s celebration of Pride Month.
Head Coach Billy Donovan said Ivey didn’t “live up to certain organizational standards.”
The team’s official statement claimed his “conduct was detrimental to the team.”
Translation from the Chicago Bulls: Preaching the Gospel and saying sin is sin makes you a problem.
Jaden Ivey — a vocal Christian who was recently baptized and has boldly shared his faith in Jesus — went on Instagram Live speaking truth about Scripture, unrighteousness, and the NBA pushing LGBTQ ideology during Pride Month.
His message? The world (and the league) celebrates what the Bible calls sin. He’s preaching repentance and Christ.
For that, they cut him after just a handful of games.
The Chicago Bulls have made it crystal clear: They do not support Christians who actually live and speak their faith when it conflicts with the rainbow agenda.
You can bow to BLM, promote Pride, stay silent on sin — that’s fine.
But open your mouth about Jesus and biblical truth? “Detrimental.”
This is the new standard in the NBA: Christian athletes are welcome… as long as they keep quiet about the parts of Scripture the league dislikes.
Ivey’s response: “All I’m preaching about is Jesus Christ and they waived me.”
The message to every believing player is loud and clear — conform or be gone.
Stand with Jaden Ivey for having the courage to speak truth in a league that demands silence.
Share if you believe faith in Christ shouldn’t get you fired.
