it is the greatest trophy in North American sport and the impact it has on fans -- and even those who know little of the game -- is magical
I've been all across the world with @StanleyCup and have seen joy it brings to those in its company. But, i never understood the full power of the trophy until I watched it visit a First Nation community in Northern Ontario. I hope you read this. It means a lot to me.

anyone who eats scrambled eggs they can't personally see cracked from the shell deserves everything they get
The scrambled eggs at a hotel breakfast are 19% water, and they're dyed. A lot of hotels and cafeterias pour them from a carton of Papetti's Breakfast Blend. The spec sheet reads whole eggs, 19% water, then under 2% of salt, xanthan gum, citric acid, annatto color and natural butter flavor. Papetti's is part of Michael Foods, one of the biggest egg processors in the country. Every ingredient has a job on a steam table. Xanthan gum holds the added water in the egg so it doesn't weep into the pan. Citric acid keeps the eggs from turning gray or green under a heat lamp. Annatto puts back the yolk color the water washed out. The butter flavor is there because nobody is going to add butter. The carton keeps for 98 days in the cooler. The plain version from the same company is whole eggs, whey, skim milk, xanthan and citric acid, with almost no added water and half the sodium.

filmed in Johnstown's Point Stadium -- just down the street from the War Memorial, home of the Chiefs from 'Slap Shot'
“All the Right Moves” was based on Mike Ditka’s high school, Aliquippa, in western PA (Ampipe).   Mike’s close friend and HS teammate was coach of the team in the 80s and was an advisor on the film and had a cameo as the coach of Walnut Heights. 6-2 Stack Monster!

too many longtime, credentialed, expert members of the @NFL media don't know or understand the rules about who is and is not a starting QB in a game so no -- the @ChicagoBears have NOT used or won with 3 different starting QB in the last 4 games

Replying to @mulvihill79
Spot on. It's a shame what's happening here...the athletes are defenseless, b/c they are ghosts in this relationship. Here today, gone tomorrow. This is a government bailout for the NCAA. Let evolution run its course. That's American.
