Would sure hope he does!

Dustin May says he'd 'love to stay' even as Cardinals spiral toward trade deadline https://t.co/CnlzdcwM3R

[Steven Norris @snmu72]

Is this a joke!? Not even close.

[Brandon Kiley @BKSportsTalk]

If the #STLCards came to the conclusion after this season that:

1) Ivan Herrera's long-term position is 1B
&
2) They have to choose *one of* Alec Burleson or Herrera to trade

Who are you dealing?

[Steven Norris @snmu72]

Sounds down right horrible!

[Cardinals Talk @theredbird_way]

Trade Deadline Predictions:

1. Lars Nootbaar to Phillies, Tampa, Cleveland or Arizona.

Return: 2 prospects. 1 in 5-10 range, 1 in the 20-25 range.

I have had the privilege of interacting with @Benaskren and my son competed at a PNL tournament where Ben held a clinic the day after.

I watched this and teared up. What Ben has overcome, the example he sets for young wrestlers like my sons and for old guys like me, is beyond words.

We need more Ben Askren in this world.

The entire stadium sings “Country Roads” to celebrate the US win. Absolutely perfect.

[Paul Fleuret @RealAbs1776]

Alan Jackson played his last show last night.

He is one of the good ones.

A patriot and Christ centered.

He has a neurological disease which impedes his balance and ability to play the guitar.

He is my favorite country singer of all time.

He told stories. He made you not just hear, but FEEL what it is to be a “good ole boy”. He was also never afraid to be bold in his faith.

But I have a more personal story about Alan Jackson I’d like to share and it is the reason I have always been a fan of him and his music.

Back in 1992, I was going on my first real trip with my mom up to New York to see her sister and my cousins.

It was the first time I had ever flown.

Our flight left later in the evening, not quite a red-eye, but close. I think it was somewheres around 10 or 11pm.

At the time, Charlotte Douglas Airport was way smaller and far less busy than it is now.

So me and mom board the plane, and I take the window seat (as kids usually do).

Me and mom are chit chatting, and she was doing her best to calm me. See, me and flying don’t really get along. Neither do me and heights - never have, prolly never will. To say I was a bit wound up about the flight would be an understatement.

The plane is continuing to board, and there weren’t many folks on the plane. As memory best serves, it was maybe 1/3 full, if that.

Everyone is seated, doors are shut, plane is ready to push. Then the pilot comes over the speaker to tell us there would be a slight delay as some folks were making their way to the plane.

Door opens up, and 5-6 dudes get on the plane. All wearing stetsons and boots. The 3rd dude on to the plane stood out a little more because he had frills hanging off his coat and he was wearing a white stetson. He was noticeably taller than the rest as well.

The first two dudes keep coming down the aisle and end up sitting right behind us.

The third dude stops at our row, looks at my mom and me, tips his hat and says “Evenin, folks. How y’all doin?”, then takes the aisle seat right next to my mom.

My mom, who rarely ever swore, then says “Holy shit. You’re Alan Jackson”.

He says “Yes’m I am, and you are?”. So mom introduced us.

But here’s what really sticks with me: Mom had told him I was a bit scared for my first flight. Wanna guess what Alan Jackson did? He asked if it was okay to pray with us. So he did.

After which, we spent the entire flight chatting with Alan Jackson. He and his band even belted out a couple songs along the way.

It is legit one of those memories I will never forget.

I never got to see him to live. But I’d say this experience trumps any concert of his I could have went to.

I think something like that speaks more to the man he is than his music. Here he is, just met this kid and his mom 5 minutes prior, and he is offering a prayer to calm my fears for my first flight.

So, in closing - I pray Alan can find true peace in his retirement, and I pray that the Father will provide him with healing and assuage his suffering with the disease he has.

Thank you for the prayer, @OfficialJackson. Thank you for all the wonderful music, and thank you for never being afraid to profess your love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

[Steven Norris @snmu72]

Thankfully we got to see him live once!

Hey Chicago Bears Fans,

Your blood is about to boil reading this:

I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year.

At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium.

Let that sink in.

For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears.

Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years.

This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.

[Steven Norris @snmu72]

May be a good time to disband the program!

Can confirm that #Mizzou baseball freshman Blaize Ward is in the transfer portal. Hit .296 this year and was one of Kerrick Jackson’s most promising young players.
