I'm not America's Sweetheart.

[Dale Murphy @DaleMurphy3]

Bob Horner and I were destined to be teammates somewhere. I signed a letter of intent to play baseball at Arizona State before I was drafted. Bob played at ASU and ended up in Atlanta my first full year in the major leagues—1978. One way or another, it was bound to happen.

From the minute Bob Horner joined the Braves, all us players could see he was good. I mean… really good. And that swing—short and quick, x or and could turn around anybody’s fast ball. And Bob knew the strike zone. He just did not swing at a bad pitch (like I had a tendency to do a little too often…) He was a unique talent and I was very lucky to be in the lineup with him most of my career. All of my numbers were better when he was hitting behind me. And that fact is not lost on me. I know my career was better because of him.

It’s been a hard few weeks for the Braves Family losing Ted and Bobby—and now Bob. These 3 men all had such a profound impact on my career. I am forever grateful.

Nancy and I will miss Bob and our hearts go out to Chris and Trent and Tyler, along with their entire family.

The older we get, the more we cherish wonderful memories and this past month has brought a flood of them back to us. The gratitude we feel for them all has been overwhelming.

Rest well, my friend and teammate.

And now she isn’t talking to me

I can’t understand women 🤷‍♂️

@SheaSerrano The only answer is:
Sopranos
Mad Men
Succession

For now. Mad Men is aging incredibly well.

In honor of Mike Vrabel going to “counseling,” here’s one of the best Tony Soprano scene-ending lines.

During the filming of Better Call Saul’s episode “Bagman,” something heartwarming happened that might restore your faith in humanity.

While shooting in the scorching desert on the Hajiilee Reservation, a stray dog wandered onto the set and collapsed between Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks. She was severely dehydrated and in terrible condition.

The crew gave her food and water, but Bob couldn’t just leave her there. He personally contacted the reservation authorities to get permission to take her to Albuquerque for treatment.

At the vet, they discovered two heartbreaking details:
She had apparently never walked on grass before, she didn’t recognize the sensation.
She was pregnant.

That’s when the Better Call Saul family stepped in.

Rhea Seehorn helped deliver the puppies.
Every single puppy was adopted by someone from the crew.
And the mother? She went home with Patrick Fabian, who adopted her, along with one of the pups for his daughters.

Jonathan Banks later shared the story on a podcast, nearly in tears.

Rest in peace, Robert Redford. You taught me it was ok to be a sexual icon for an entire generation of women.

@pityforyourself He would have seen the Yanks put a beating on his Padres. Just like the '98 World Series. "Yanks in 4. I was there!"

Looks like he’s about to kill a bunch of Jedi children

@VintageRockN_85 Man that's a bold statement.

@WorldDarkWeb2 Quit going to the gym would surely help.

@timecaptales Surely you can't be serious.

Tom Jones sits in with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and cranks up "Long Time Gone" to eleven. You’ll never hear a more rockin’ version.

[Mike Andreasen @MikeAndreasen]

@inthefade I'm there. Now considering a ridiculously insane number of edibles.

[Mike Andreasen @MikeAndreasen]

I doubt it. Fox only had something like 25 cameras so you can't expect them to capture everything on the field.

[Jason Whitlock @jasonwhitlock]

Is there video of the Nebraska spot blown by refs?

[Mike Andreasen @MikeAndreasen]

It's incredibly cool. Framing is a talent.

[Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora]

Must be cool to have a catcher stealing strikes all over the place
