@PhilaFanCentral Christmas Day, 2006. Eagles win 23-7 in Dallas. Last game I saw with my father as he passed away a week later. I'll always remember that run to divisional playoffs with Jeff Garcia at QB because of that.

RJ Peete, a longtime clubhouse attendant for the Dodgers, embodies what it truly means to be family within the clubhouse. Tom Rinaldi shares the inspiring story of how RJ has defied expectations and found purpose with the team.

#OnThisDay in 1960: Verne Gagne awards himself the AWA Worlds Heavyweight Title after Pat O'Connor wouldn't defend the NWA Worlds Title against him.
The AWA founder would go on to win their worlds title ten times, including a seven year run as champion from 1968 to 1975.
Super Sky Point to Hulk Hogan, a man who revolutionized the pro wrestling industry twice. If you don’t remember Wrestlemania III, I can’t adequately explain what a cultural touchstone moment it was when he did the seemingly impossible by slamming Andre the Giant. He was the brightest light in a sky full of larger-than-life WWE stars. Years later, we saw that same childhood hero morph into the conniving “Hollywood” Hogan in WCW and his on-air villainy damn near put Vince McMahon and the WWE out of business. Monday nights became must-see television and it ushered in the attitude era. Wrestling’s popularity and mainstream acceptance ascended to new levels.
Love him or hate him, or maybe he made you feel both emotions, Hulk Hogan was always relevant. He knew how to make you care. He put asses in seats and in front of tv screens. That was his job. And he was damn good at it. Whatcha gonna do, St. Peter, when the 24-inch pythons run wild on you? #RIP
I Am Absolutely Shocked To Hear About The Passing Of My Close Friend @HulkHogan! Hulk Has Been By My Side Since We Started In The Wrestling Business. An Incredible Athlete, Talent, Friend, And Father! Our Friendship Has Meant The World To Me. He Was Always There For Me Even When I Didn’t Ask For Him To Be. He Was One Of The First To Visit Me When I Was In The Hospital With A 2% Chance Of Living, And He Prayed By My Bedside. Hulk Also Lent Me Money When Reid Was Sick. Hulkster, No One Will Ever Compare To You! Rest In Peace My Friend! 🙏🏻
OZZY RIP
It’s impossible to put into words what Ozzy Osbourne has meant to Metallica. Hero, icon, pioneer, inspiration, mentor, and, most of all, friend are a few that come to mind. Ozzy and Sharon believed in us and transformed our lives and careers. He taught us how to play in the big leagues while at the same time being warm, welcoming, engaging, and all around brilliant.
We are heartbroken and devastated by this loss and send our love and condolences to Sharon and their family, bandmates, and his very large circle of friends. He left an incredible legacy and will be sorely missed.

Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls, no, you’re forever in my heart. Deepest condolences to Sharon and all family members. RIP Sincere regrets to all the fans. Never goodbye. Thank you forever. Bill Ward
Goodbye dear friend - thanks for all those years - we had some great fun. 4 kids from Aston- who’d have thought, eh?
So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston.
Love you.
Dear Ozzy,
I’m gonna miss you. Not nearly as much as your incredible soulmate, Mrs. Osbourne. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us all.
See you on the other side!
Dave Mustaine
I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.
It’s just such heartbreaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother.
My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz. Tony
