Why has nobody reported to our training camp?

My favorite part about election season is all the candidates and parties promising to fix the things they've already had plenty of time to fix. My second favorite part is all the people who keep believing it.

One night in 1995, Mariners broadcaster Rick Rizzs and former Mariners outfielder Dave Henderson were sitting in a bar in Pioneer Square after a game, having a beer.

A news report came on the TV about homeless people in Seattle. The two of them started talking, and one thought stuck. How many of those people had kids who wouldn't be getting anything for Christmas?

So they decided to do something about it. That night.

They passed the hat among Mariners players, guys like Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner, Dan Wilson, and John Olerud, and raised $18,000. They bought about 500 toys and delivered them to homeless and women's shelters around the city.

They called it Toys for Kids.

It did not stay small.

Thirty years later, that idea born in a bar has raised well over a million dollars, bought brand-new toys for more than 200,000 children across Washington State, and thrown dozens of holiday parties for kids in shelters, hospitals, and impossible situations. Some years the fundraiser alone brings in more than half a million dollars.

Rizzs plays Santa himself. Not a symbolic Santa. He shows up, hands out the gifts, and looks the kids in the eye.

"It's not just a toy," he said. "To me, it represents hope that somebody cares about them and their moms."

Then came the hard part.

In December 2015, two days after Christmas, Dave Henderson died of a heart attack. He was 57. Rizzs lost his broadcast partner, his charity partner, and one of his closest friends all at once.

"I miss him like crazy," Rizzs said.

He could have let it fade. Instead, he kept it going, bigger every year, and made sure Henderson's name stayed on it. There's now a Dave Henderson Scholarship attached to the charity, handing college money to kids who write about what education means to them.

Henderson was the kind of guy who, on one of those holiday visits, met a woman working at a shelter, noticed her car was falling apart, and quietly bought her a new one.

"Who does that?" Rizzs said. "Dave Henderson does that."

Two friends, a beer, and a news report. Three decades later, hundreds of thousands of Seattle kids have woken up to a present because of it.

Without this man who knows where this program would be. When the going got tough , Coach OBrien stood tall. His teams were full of a bunch of warriors. Will always have a special place in my heart. True Nittany Lion to this day

None other than “Senior,” Bob Chesney’s dad, on the sideline as Chesney gets his first ever win as a Power 4 head coach.

Chesney shares a hug with his dad and son as UCLA closes out a 45-24 win over Cal. Very impressive stuff tonight. Much to be excited about, Bruin fans.

Officer Smith would perish when the south tower collapsed minutes after this photograph was taken while attempting to evacuate others.

In 1986, Frito-Lay changed the snack game forever with the debut of Cool Ranch Doritos.

BITE-SIZED FACT | That iconic blue bag brought a game-changing mix of garlic, onion, and tangy buttermilk seasoning that instantly challenged Nacho Cheese for absolute late-80s dominance.

"Ted Williams was debating whether to play in the "Jimmy Fund Game" in Boston, at Fenway in 1972.
Williams wasn't sure until Mr. Yawkey asked him personally to play, so he did.
Ted came into the dugout looking for a bat for batting practice.
He was in the zone now, not like the rest of us.
I used a W183 bat, I had no idea what it stood for, but he picked out that bat, and I later found out the W stood for Williams!
Ted grabbed the bat and said:
"Now this is a damn good bat."
Then he went looking for pine tar and screamed out:
"There's too much f****** oil in this pine tar, no wonder you guys can't f****** hit."
So Ted walked to the plate, and Lee Stange was throwing.
Ted screamed at him:
"Now throw the ball hard, don't be throwing any shit up here."
He took the first pitch.
Ted Williams always took the first pitch.
I looked at a teammate and said:
"I hope he swings and misses 20 times."
Ted took 15 swings, and hit every one on the sweet spot.
He hit every one hard.
I looked at Nellie Fox after the round and said:
"Nellie, that was pretty impressive….
The guy hasn't picked up a bat in five years and he hit every ball hard."
Nellie Fox just looked at me and said:
"Ted`s been hitting in the cage for six weeks, just in case he decided to play today.
You didn't really think Ted Williams would go out there and embarrass himself, do you?"

As college football is upon us, here's a tune we all know — the CBS college football theme.

What you may not have known is that this piece of music — composed by Lloyd Landesman — was originally written for and introduced to the public on CBS's Super Bowl XXI telecast in January of 1987.

You have to watch every second of this to fully appreciate it. Genuinely one of the best tributes to Dolly Parton ever.
