Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza's Hall of Fame stage is setMark Townsend at Big League Stew 1 hr ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
On Sunday, two remarkable legacies forged on different paths will converge in Cooperstown, New York when Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza are officially inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
The long-anticipated induction ceremony will air exclusively on MLB Network, with coverage beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET and the ceremony itself starting at 1:30 p.m. ET. If for somehow you're not excited to watch the ceremony, check out the video which was produced by MLB Network and narrated by actor J.K. Simmons. It might just give you chills.

Not that there's any pressure or anything.
The day isn't exclusively about speeches, smiles and handshakes though. It's about truly taking their place among baseball's immortal legends. It's about the moment when their legacies are truly cemented: when their Hall of Fame plaque becomes an official part of the Hall of Fame museum.

Watch Live: Ichiro's quest for 3,000 hits continues in Free Game of the DayMark Townsend at Big League Stew 1 hr ago
It's only a matter of time now before Ichiro Suzuki becomes the 30th player to notch 3,000 hits in Major League Baseball. The 42-year-old outfielder will enter Sunday's game against the New York Mets with 2,996 hits, meaning Ichiro could easily reach this week.
Unfortunately, Ichiro is not in the Marlins lineup on Sunday, but his pursuit of 3,000 still adds a whole new level of intrigue to an already important game, which we're happy to say will be featured as the Free Game of the Day on Yahoo Sports. You can stream the game at Yahoo's Sports Home, MLB index and video home beginning at 1:10 p.m. ET.
That Ichiro is now on the doorstep of 3,000 hits in MLB only further cements what a remarkable career he's enjoyed. Ichiro also accrued 1,278 across nine seasons in Japan's Central League, which in the opinion of some already makes him baseball's true hit king. His career total surpassed Pete Rose's 4,256 MLB hits over 24 seasons.
Simply put, Ichiro is amazing.

There's a reason Rays players don't close the dugout bathroom doorMark Townsend at Big League Stew 10 hrs ago
As you may or may not have heard, Steve Pearce of the Tampa Bay Rays was nearly caught in an unenviable position on Saturday night.
As it so often does, nature called in the midst of Tampa's 4-3 loss to the A's, and Pearce had no choice but to answer. Conveniently, or so you'd think, there happens to be a bathroom in each of the dugouts at The Coliseum in Oakland. That meant Pearce didn't have to run down the tunnel or back into the clubhouse.

Basically, the Rays are damned if they do and damned if they don't close the bathroom door, so for now they're taking their chances on leaving it open.

Carlos Correa and Trevor Story set records that will blow your mindMark Townsend at Big League Stew 12 hrs ago
Welcome to The Walk Off, the nightly MLB recap from Big League Stew. Here we'll look at the top performers of the night, show you a must-see highlight and rundown the scoreboard. First, we start with a game you need to know about.
At 21 years old, Carlos Correa has already accomplished more than most other professional baseball players. For starters, he was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2012. In 2015, he won an American League Rookie of the Year award and also played in the postseason.
That's all quite impressive, but would you also believe he's already the Houston Astros all-time home run leader among shortstops?
It's true!
[Join a Yahoo Daily Fantasy Baseball contest now]
In Saturday's 7-2 win against the Angels, Correa connected for his 15th home run of the season and his 36th as a major leaguer, which moved him atop the Astros list.
Carlos Correa has hit 36 HR as a shortstop, the most in club history.
Red Sox announcer shaken up after being hit by wind-blown monitorMark Townsend at Big League Stew 15 hrs ago
Crazy wind gusts wreaked havoc at Fenway Park on Saturday night and even sent announcer Jerry Remy home early with a bump on his head.
According to reports, Remy was struck on the head by a television monitor that blew off a shelf in the NESN booth. Fortunately, it sounds like Remy has avoided a serious injury, but he was still checked by doctors and then sent home to rest.
For those wondering about Jerry Remy. @NESN #RedSox pic.twitter.com/6osCz1Erpx
— kris moody (@krismoody) July 24, 2016
There was at least one report of a 43-mph wind gust during the first inning as a storm front approached the Boston area. Strong winds continued throughout the early innings, causing chaos for fielders as they attempted to gauge fly balls.
I've never seen a baseball game played in the middle of a hurricane before. This should be fun.

Yeah, we didn't think so.
Chris Sale scratched from start after destroying throwback uniformsMark Townsend at Big League Stew 17 hrs ago
The relationship between the Chicago White Sox and ace Chris Sale took a bizarre turn on Saturday.
In a statement released before Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers, the White Sox announced that Sale had been scratched from his scheduled start after he was involved in what the team says was a "non-physical clubhouse incident."
The White Sox did not offer any further details, other than to say the incident was under investigation and that Sale had been sent home.
Here's the team's full statement.
Official: Chris Sale has been scratched from tonight's scheduled start.

— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) July 23, 2016
Well, Yahoo Sports' own Jeff Passan has been doing some investigating as well, and he now confirms that Sale was sent home after refusing to wear and later destroying the team's throwback uniforms.
Yup, it's true. Chris Sale got sent home by White Sox for cutting up a jersey he didn't want to wear. Source confirms @StokkeTommy report.

Chris Bassitt's dog goes surfing during Bark at the Park eventMark Townsend at Big League Stew 19 hrs ago
Your browser does not support iframes.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled baseball reading to bring you images of very good dogs doing some very good surfing.
On Friday, the Oakland A's hosted Bark at the Park Night at the Coliseum. That meant fans could bring their precious canines to the ballpark to watch some baseball and chow down, perhaps on some hot dogs.
The A's though, they don't do things halfway. If it's Bark at the Park Night, they're going to make sure the new four-legged customers get their money's worth. In this case, that meant installing a tank full of water in the parking lot where some dog surfing commenced.

Mike Piazza reflects on memorable post-9/11 home runMark Townsend at Big League Stew 20 hrs ago
We're all looking forward to the many great stories Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza will share during Sunday's Hall of Fame ceremony in Cooperstown. Before we get there though, the two soon-to-be Hall of Famers addressed the media on Saturday during the annual press conference.
While they may not have revealed the talking points for their anticipated speeches, they did give us a taste of the emotion we should expect to see and feel once they hit the stage. That was especially true of Mike Piazza, who has already gone on record saying he expects to cry during his speech.
His emotions nearly started flowing one day early as he spent a moment reflecting on his memorable home run hit 10 days after terrorist attacks rocked New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania on Sept 11. 2001.

Matt Adams ends 16-inning marathon with homer, ferocious bat flipMark Townsend at Big League Stew 22 hrs ago
As soon as Matt Adams connected, the remaining fans at Busch Stadium erupted.
The St. Louis Cardinals slugger blasted a majestic walkoff home run in the 16th inning on Friday to give St. Louis a much-needed 4-3 victory over the wild card-leading Los Angeles Dodgers.
Adams' big fly came against Bud Norris, a starting pitcher who was needed in emergency extra-inning duty, and it traveled an estimated 444 feet. Indeed, it was a no-doubter, and Adams drove that point home with a scream and a ferocious bat flip unlike any seen since Jose Bautista's in the 2015 postseason.
THAT BAT FLIP!!! #STLCards pic.twitter.com/aEUQKPEj2n
— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) July 23, 2016
Yes, it was that epic.
From there, both teams exhausted their options, leading to a matchup that one Dodgers writer wasn't looking forward to.

Danny Duffy draws inspiration from boy who died of cancerMark Townsend at Big League Stew 1 day ago
As baseball observers, we often speculate what goes through the mind of a player in the midst of a brilliant performance.
After pitching 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball in the Royals' 3-1 win against the Rangers on Friday night, Kansas City left-hander Danny Duffy didn't hesitate to clue us in.
According to Pete Grathoff of the Kansas City Star, Duffy's focus and motivation was a young fan named Liam Charles Shipley, whom he'd met months earlier at a charity calendar shoot. Recently, Duffy learned that Shipley had died at only 8 years old following a battle with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
After the game, Duffy made it clear he was determined to honor Liam's fight and his legacy with a memorable performance, which he most certainly delivered.

The misread to JJ was a killer. Tough loss but Texas is a good team. It hurts the most because BYU led the entire night. I'm sad but I'm proud of my Cougs.

Since according to Heaps and Mendenhall, the Y wasn't playing for a conference
championship, but rather for a national championship...and that NC is now out of
the question at this point [as is their already-a-longshot BCS bowl

What's sad is posters still not getting what independence is all about and
trying to make themselves feel better by denigrating their rivals.
Of course, every team that suits up "should" be playing for a national championship. And, as we all know, BYU is without a conference, therefore that is the ultimate goal. While a loss hurts, it isn't the end of the season, the end of the program, or the end of competing to be bettermuch to the chagrin of U trolls.
Staring this team in the face is the rivalry game. (And don't say it doesn't mean anything to the U now, that would be disingenuous.)
BYU is playing for its win/loss record, final ranking, and the respect and exposure it seeks with independence. In a strange twist, it actually makes every game more crucial than say, oh, losing two early conference games and relying on conference foes to crash and burn to salvage your hopes.
Here's hoping the Cougs step up on offense and that Jake lives up to the press clippings this Saturday and wreaks havoc on U!

Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis have been married since 9th Jul 2016. [view couple]
Derek Sanderson Jeter (/ˈdʒiːtər/ JEE-tər) (born June 26, 1974) is an American former professional baseball shortstop who played 20 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees. A five-time World Series champion, Jeter is regarded ...as a central figure of the Yankees' success of the late 1990s and early 2000s for his hitting, baserunning, fielding, and leadership. He is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits (3,465), doubles (544), games played (2,747), stolen bases (358), times on base (4,716), plate appearances (12,602) and at bats (11,195). His accolades include 14 All-Star selections, five Gold Glove Awards, five Silver Slugger Awards, two Hank Aaron Awards, and a Roberto Clemente Award. Jeter became the 28th player to reach 3,000 hits and finished his career sixth all-time in career hits and the all-time MLB leader in hits by a shortstop.
Connect any celebrity with Derek Jeter to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
simply the most overrated player in the history of baseball.
Derek Jeter is a joy to watch play baseball.
Such poise and confidence.
Would like to meet him someday!!
Have all of you sports nuts forgotten about Jeter's herpes? I'd think twice about dating any woman that's been with the herps man.
Last game i went to I saw samya james in the dugout giving erek a hug goodbye. Do i know why?no but it was obvious because she freaked when i walked by
You forgot Cameron Diaz! :) He was her rebound after Justin Timberlake.
Best wishes and good luck to you Derek. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. I hope you look beyond the beauty of the lady you marry because that all fades. Sometimes someone who,is not a model or an actress make better mates. I hope whoever you marry loves you for you and not what you have accomplished.
Anyone able to update the blog? Doesn't look like theres been anything new in under a year. It would be nice to have something new to talk about.
he should stick to baseball and not these u g l y models and actresses
not a baseball fan, but i am a fan
Derek and Hannah davis are def still a couple. Saw them in fl last week
Jeter obviously has a thing for brunettes
We need a picture of Hannah Davis!!! The NY Post gave all of the details.

"Mama, I'm not a super-villain," Hershie said for the millionth time. He chased the last of the gravy on his plate with a hunk of dark rye, skirting the shriveled derma left behind from his kishka. Ever since the bugouts had inducted Earth into their Galactic Federation, promising to end war, crime, and corruption, he'd found himself at loose ends. His adoptive Earth-mother, who'd named him Hershie Abromowicz, had talked him into meeting her at her favorite restaurant in the heart of Toronto's Gaza Strip.MP3 Link
"Not a super-villain, he says. Listen to him: mister big-stuff. Well, smartypants, if you're not a super-villain, what was that mess on the television last night then?"
A busboy refilled their water, and Hershie took a long sip, staring off into the middle distance. Lately, he'd taken to avoiding looking at his mother: her infra-red signature was like a landing-strip for a coronary, and she wouldn't let him take her to one of the bugout clinics for nanosurgery.

Joe Shuster was born in Toronto, but moved to Ohio when he was ten.

Does that hurt? I think for a writer it might.
…Actually, the "What If?" story I've always wanted DC to have the guts to write would be to have Kal-El's rocket land outside of a small jewish community in 1917, right after the end of WWI. So, when WWII comes about, and Hitler starts lining the Jews up in the gas chambers, we get to see an angered Klaus Kantzenbach come to full superpowers and totally exterminate every Nazi save for Wernher Von Braun, who is the only scietist who can figure out where Klaus came from. and maybe send him back.
SNL did the Uberman skit – an alternate universe where young Kal-El is raised to be a good German, and eventually a secret weapon for Hitler.
I thought Superman and his good friends Spiderman and (the little-known Silverman) were all jewish?
And with what exactly would the rabbi circumcise the baby Kal-El?
I believe you can't be a roll neck and a Jew.
Beating swords into balloon animals? I love it.
Next time you see "Superman II," listen very closely to the crowd chatter in the scene where Supes rescues the little boy who falls into Niagara Falls. A woman says, very loudly, "Of course he's Jewish!" (The line doesn't appear on the DVD subtitles, but the closed-captioning feature on the TV set picks it up. And it's pretty audible, especially if you know it's there.)
Maybe Ma & Pa Kent weren't Jewish, but raising their boy on the farm with those good Midwestern work ethics… he turned out all right! They raised him to be a mensch, not a schlemiel like that Luthor kid.
#6 sure you can, you just can't go through with the bar mitzvah, so he'll never be a man.
Sure, he's a real mensch, but uber? Feh! The Jewish Superman would be a lot more interesting than the current hokey super-boyscout.
…Of course, there's the most important question of all: regardless of whether he was brough up Jew or Gentile, how did the post-Crisis Kents address the issue of the circumcision? Guaranteed if he grew up in the midwest, he would have had to have had it whacked or get *really* ridiculed.
"Oy vey! Moshe, this is the fifth mohel I've broken on this little schmuck! Go call Rabbi Goldstein and tell that goniff that he needs to quit buying from that discount house. And tell him I don't care if his brother Chaim
owns the joint, either! He's obviously selling nothing but scheiss!"
…As for Spider-Wimp, Peter Parker has been shown to be a Christian of unspecified denomination, as is Aunt May. Mary Jane is now, thanks to Brand New Disaster, clearly a follower of Satan, otherwise known as Joe Quesada :-)
Two points:
One: Back in it's heyday, MAD magazine ran a very good (i could argue Better, but I won't push it) piece on if Superman had been raised a Jew. He becomes a Doctor, makes his mother very proud, and always knows *exactly* when to call.
Two: Keep little Clark out of the sun for a few days and he becomes just as vulnerable as any person. Remember: Superman is a solar-powered super hero! He needs Yellow-sun radiation to be nigh invulnerable. The comics have told us (sporadically) that he slowly looses power when denied the light, and rapidly looses power under the light of a red sun.
A nice Jewish Superman might be inclined to show as much reverence for his Jewish Culture as a Superman from Kripton would show to his lost world. Would a Jewish Superman support Israel? Would he open a can of Super-Jew kick-ass on his culture's enemies? And would he justify his behavior with one simple statement: Because We are the Chosen People? I'd love to read some truly profound superhero politics set in the real world.

Arizona Cashes in On $40.8 Million Settlement With Drug Companies
Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne today agreed to a hefty $40.8 million settlement agreement with GlaxoSmithKline LLC and PB Pharmco -- companies accused of distributing defective drugs.
After divvying up the settlement between 37 states and the District of Columbia that also filed complaints, Arizona's raking getting $1.4 million.
From 2001 to 2004, the attorneys general say the companies gave the public bad batches of prescription meds made by factory machines that weren't up to regulation standards.
The drug Kytril, used to control nausea caused by chemotherapy, was said to have no effect on patients, while the antidepressant drug Paxil CR was manufactured with a disproportionate amount of ingredients in each capsule, resulting in non-effective medicine given to millions of people.

Also on the list of defect medications were Avandamet, used to treat diabetes and Bactroban, an antibiotic used to treat skin infections. According to Horne, the botched drug contained bacteria that was actually harmful to skin.
"This is a big deal for Arizona," Horne tells New Times. "[The $1.4 million] goes to support our consumer-fraud operations. That's $1.4 million our tax payers won't have to pay. So I think this is very good."
GlaxoSmithKline, which also owns PB Pharmco, and has manufacturing plants along the East Coast, maintains it never put the public as risk.
"The company chose to settle the matter, which it initially disclosed in its 2010 fourth quarter results and its 2010 annual report, to avoid the expense and uncertainty of protracted litigation and trial," GlaxoKlineSmith says in a statement released today.
There's no need for panic, Horne says -- all batches of the medications in question were recalled years ago.

The owners have created an incredibly hospitable and comfortable place to stay. They are friendly and take great care of their guests. Breakfasts were well-prepared and service was awesome. We will stay again in the future. I highly recommend the Maple Leaf Cottage Inn! Sean

The village of Elsah, Illinois is beautiful, quiet and accessible to the Mississippi River and a stone's throw from St. Louis. The Inn is lovely, the owners displaying the arms open hospitality you'd expect in the Deep South. The food excellent and ample and filled me up for the whole day. I even brought an incredible French toast recipe home with me. I will go back again.

We have stayed in over 60 Bed and Breakfasts over the past 30 years, primarily in the Midwest. This is definitely in my top 3 favorites. I have stayed here 3 different times over the years. Deborah is absolutely gracious, accommodating, enthusiastic and welcoming as a newer hostess. The room was inviting, the welcome warm and genuine and the food delicious, including an evening snack and beautiful breakfast! If you desire an idyllic setting, peaceful surroundings, comfortable accommodations, visit Maple Leaf Cottage. You will make good memories, leave refreshed and look forward to returning.

I was looking for a B&B near St. Louis (had an early flight) and found the Maple Leaf Cottage Inn. It is a great place - the rooms are great, the house too. Deborah is a great innkeeper. She got a fire going outside int he fire-pit and I spent a lovely evening meeting new friends and sipping a bit of wine. The room was very comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was wonderful. I will stay again.

Our stay couldn't have been better. We stayed in the Wash House and found the accommodation to be just what you are looking for in a B&B off the beaten track running along the Mississippi River. I found it astonishing the amount of effort the owners placed in to getting even the smallest details right. The owners are incredibly welcoming and friendly and the breakfast was amazing.

We took a road trip on the Mississippi River road and this was the most charming - old fashioned B&B ever. Cannot say enuf about all the special touches from fire pit, surprise late nights dessert, to charming host. You felt you had known all your life. Will always remember Deb 7 Tim w/fond memories of their homey B&B & Immaculate!

Thank you so much for your feedback! It was a pleasure to have you and we hope you come back soon!
This romantic room affords guests a view of the gardens with plenty of natural light. Enjoy a movie or reading in the comfortable rocker recliner. Imagine yourself soaking in an antique claw-foot tub, then relax in a cozy chaise for two. In the evening, you can dim the chandelier to a candle-light glow and slip into a luxurious four-post bed.
Adjacent to the Maples Room, this inviting retreat stands at the far end of the gardens. Inside you will find Victorian gables which came from one of Elsah's original residences—now they serve as headboards for two cozy, queen-size beds. A light touch of neighboring Principia College is reflected in this guestroom. Picturesque views from the covered porch await you.
This suite carries you back in time with antique and vintage memorabilia which span more than 150 years. It served as the very first guest room in 1949. Retreat to this comfortable space which has a four-post bed, a full bath, and private staircase.
This charming cottage was originally built as a summer kitchen in the 1800's. Later, it was used as the family wash house. The cottage stands as a separate building with an entrance from our gardens. You will find antique wash tubs, wringers, and scrub-boards throughout. This room features original pine floors and a comfy queen bed.
This large room offers a glimpse at Elsah's rich history. It features two queen beds- one firm and one plush. Decorative silhouette cutouts of Elsah's historic buildings and 1850's picket fence adorn the walls above the beds. Step out to the private covered porch and enjoy a view of our vibrant gardens.
This historic home dates back to the 1960's. It started as a wagon repair shop. The original lettering advertising the business are still visible on the front of the house stating "Wagons and Buggies Made and Repaired". Take a step back in time and join us in the Historic villiage of Elsah.

My husband and I fell in love with this charming little town 25 years ago. When life presented us the opportunity, we were thrilled to become the new innkeepers of the Maple Leaf Cottage Inn- which began in 1949. We enjoy spending time with friends and family, traveling, entertaining, Ole Miss football and Cardinal Baseball. Our newest love is spoiling our granddaughter. The best part of running a B&B has to be meeting new people. They arrive as guests, but they always leave as friends.

The Girl Scouts Spirit of Nebraska have received a $75,000 pledge from the Peter Kiewit Foundation for the Lakeview Cabin at Lake Maloney.
"As we reach the final stretch of this initiative, we ask our loyal Girl Scout supporters to consider donating just $5, $10, or $25 toward the Lakeview Cabin goal," Nelson said.
Lakeview Cabin has been providing lasting memories for girls in western Nebraska for more than 50 years. Since the new cabin opened in October, 82 Girl Scouts (girls and leaders) have camped at Lakeview. The cabin allows two groups to utilize the facility at the same time doubling the number of troops and girls that will be able to enjoy the facility and its grounds.
The cabin is also available for lease and thus far 164 guests have taken advantage of renting the property.
Your financial support will help Girl Scouting and the community for many years to come, Nelson said.
For additional information or to make a donation, contact the Guiding Star Service Center by phone at 800 458-4467 or Jennifer Schall by email at email@example.com.

This was by far the least helpful. The author provides almost no tips on how to spend smart. She tells us to save 10% of our income, donate 10%, and spend 80%. I already donate to charity, I already save, I wanted advice on how best to save and how best to spend the remainder of my income. This book offered no advice for that.
I admire the fact that Kay dug herself out of $40,000 in debt, but while reading the book you discover part of the reason why is that she was a winning contestant on the Price is Right and took home thousands!
Books like Frugal Living for Dummies are much more helpful.
The entire book can be summed up with Kay's 10/10/80 principle - donate 10% of your money, save 10%, spend the other 80% wisely. That's it. Her advice for spending the other 80% wisely is essentially use the Internet to find good deals, use coupons, buy on sale, and negotiate. There are many other books that cover these same topics but in much greater detail.
I was also turned off by Kay's product placement. She has been a paid spokesperson for Proctor & Gamble and others and it shows. She tells consumers to buy Dawn dish soap because it is ultra concentrated so it lasts longer, but most stores have generic versions of ultra concentrated soap that works just as well and lasts just as long (and is much cheaper). She also pitches another PG product, Bounty paper towels, and I've used other less expensive brands that were just as good. But Kay never recommends buying the generics of these products. I do not think a paid spokesperson should offer supposed unbiased advice.
If the book offered other great tips or advice I could have overlooked the product pitches, but unfortunately it didn't.
She made her own baby wipes for SEVEN kids, but she buys BOUNTY paper towels to make them????
Anyway, the message is give 10%, save 10%, and spend the rest wisely.The MESSENGER sounds like a plagiarist and a best-SELLING author. So I guess the real key to success is to actually use these principles to turn your life around, and then write a book about how these ideas you came up with allowed you to become a writer.
(R)edeem,get(I)nstruction,(C)ommit,and never give up (H)ope, and before you know it, you'll be so RICH you'll be saving "$2500 per couple" on that cruise you were planning on taking...when you were so broke you couldn't even pay attention. Is anyone reading this book actually going on a cruise??? I'm sure Ellie Kay a very nice lady who means well.
The rest of the book contains stories about how she saved a lot of money in her own family, but not all the scintillating examples would work for every family. Practical, yes. Applicable, not always. If you read Living Rich on Less, you will walk away from the book with some tips that you can immediately put to use (like using Travelzoo.com to get alerts on great travel deals, just one of the numerous Cha-Ching Factor tips Ellie Kay provides throughout the book), but don't expect to be blown away with much more than hit-or-miss tips that may or may not work for you.

The family of late Pittsburgh Steelers star Mike Webster, from ex-wife Pam to his two sons, Colin and Garrett, hopes that the story of the Hall of Famer's last years serves as a cautionary tale for football fans. Football, they say, is a tough way to make a living. The NFL, they insist, should take care of its own.
One subject each raised independently in interviews was that of medical insurance for former players.
"It needs to be addressed," Garrett Webster said. "The Websters are doing their best to bring it to the forefront."
When Mike Webster retired after the 1990 season, there was no provision for medical insurance for players no longer in the league. Today, a player vested with three years of duty in the NFL -- playing at least three games in a season gives a him credit for a full year -- is entitled to five years of medical coverage courtesy of the NFL.
"Actually, we like to say the players are really paying for it," said Mickey Yaris-Davis, the NFLPA's director of benefits.
The medical coverage was included for the first time in the 1993 collective bargaining agreement between the league and the union. In the two extensions since (1998 and 2002), the coverage has been expanded. With 18 months of COBRA medical coverage also available to players, that's a total of 6.5 years of post-career coverage.
"It's a great benefit. It's been increased to help the players get through the worst of the transition," said Yaris-Davis, who has been with the NFLPA for more than 26 years.
With regard to the pending Webster case, Yaris-Davis points out that in a claim for worker's compensation medical coverage is not a relevant part of the discussion.
"If the claim is that his condition was football-related, it's an issue of worker's compensation," Yaris-Davis said. "Our medical coverage is the best in major sports -- it follows a player well after his career."

This site is one of many providing a basic search facility for accommodation (cheap). It by no means covers all the options in an area, so a call to the local tourist information office would be advised in addition. Not all places listed will have rooms available even though they say they do. I have also been charged in advance for accommodation where it specifically said no charge prior to arrival.

I booked a weekend away with Late Rooms a full 12 months in advance in order to visit the Midland Game Fair near Telford on Friday, September 14 and Saturday September 15. The booking was amended over the 12 months period and 'e mails' sent back and forth.

Late Rooms simply washed their hands of the 10 people concerned and left us with… Read Full ReviewVisit laterooms.com

It's such a shame that your trip was ruined so spectacularly. Unfortunately Laterooms are a brooker and don't manage hotels or their rooms. I know this from working at a 4* hotel in the Lake district that was run by an incompetent owner who was constantly double booked and blamed laterooms as a scapegoat for said incompetence. We also now use them for our guest house for out of season bookings. Your best port of call is with the hotel, they should be reinbursing you for their mistake. They receive full booking details at the point that you made the booking by both email and fax. At this stage they should update their own booking systems, if not....
Trip advisor is something that you should mention in your dealings with the hotel. Always check with hotels (by email if poss) that your room is confirmed - even if you already have a booking reference number. So many businesses are using booking sites/brokers that they lose track of what's been booked. Once you get an email back from them they can't use an external agency as an excuse for their own inadequacies. Hope that helps!

Hi, speaking to our Customer Care Team, they've confirmed some difficulties in trying to get in touch with you. Emails sent on 19/9 bounced back with an error message and unfortunately they haven't been able to get through via the contact phone number on the booking information. Do you have another email address we can try? Or an updated contact number? If so, please can you send through to firstname.lastname@example.com. Once again I'm really sorry for the delay in getting this sorted, and can assure every effort was made on the 19th of September, but without reliable contact information we were a bit stuck.

Thanks for your review. Whilst a large proportion of our hotel stock is at a reduced price, it is our hotel partners who are responsible for managing and updating the room rates which they upload to the site. We regularly speak to hotels to ensure that they understand the importance of keeping their prices up-to-date and thank you for being this instance to our attention.

New Health Department HQ Delayed
Apparently, there's some unhappy financial stuff going down lately – you might be aware of it if you read the paper or listen to radio news. (Some of us at Hair Balls prefer early-'70sOui
magazines and Cheap Trick.) To help prevent Houston from getting sucked into this new economic abyss, Mayor White announced yesterdaya plan
to tighten up fiscally, including limiting the city's debt.
That's bad news for the Department of Health and Human Services – the downturn means the construction of its new central facility may be put on hold. White cited the project as a specific example of an undertaking that might have to be delayed or scaled back given the economic climate.

The new building will likely be located on South Main close to where AstroWorld used to stand and will replace the current facilities near Old Spanish Trail and Kirby. City of Houston General Services real estate director Bill Christy tells Hair Balls the total cost estimate is between $70 and $130 million.
The land for the building hasn't been acquired yet, though the City Council approved a few weeks ago a "good faith" effort to purchase some property, Kathy Barton, a spokeswoman for the DHHS, says. There's currently no timetable for breaking ground on the project.
From what Barton says, it sounds like the new office space and labs are sorely needed.
"We are in an undersized building now – the main building. And then we have Environmental Services in another building, and it's undersized and falling apart. They wanted to consolidate all of those services into one building. [Right now] it's just a little tight, and we aren't able to add any new programs or expand any of our existing programs," Barton tells Hair Balls.
Some programs, like the DHHS offender re-entry program, are currently operating out of multi-service centers that serve individual neighborhoods.
"The advantage for us to put all of our people in one place would be general efficiency of the operation…[but] we appreciate the circumstances that the city finds itself in, and the country finds itself in," Barton says.
Christy tells Hair Balls that progress on the project and others like it will largely depend on what the economy does. Just another example of how Wall Street has screwed (South) Main Street. Thanks, fat cats!

Cows Unite is a movement for the benefits of organic milk and saying no to antibiotics and synthetic hormones.
Join the resistance! Cows from across the country (and groups of supportive humans) have organized "Cows Unite," sponsored by Organic Valley Coop, a movement to spread the word about the benefits of organic milk and raise support for small-scale dairy farms. After much rumination, they have developed the "Bovine Bill of Rights," which includes The Right to Graze and The Right to Just Say No to Antibiotics and Synthetic Hormones.

As he steers the 20-inch rims of his silver 2006 Chevy Impala from Linden Avenue onto downtown Peachtree Street on a recent warm Saturday night, 25-year-old Kris Truitt suddenly finds himself cruising down memory lane.
"It used to be an art to riding this shit, man. You know what I'm talkin' 'bout?" says Truitt, pointing out his preferred starting point on the strip near Ralph McGill Boulevard where Peachtree has three lanes traveling north. "Back then, the best lane to be in was the middle lane, 'cause you got females on your left and your right – you the man in the middle."
Truitt could be the odd man out on a late spring night that already hints of the summer weather to come. While it's approaching midnight – the witching hour for cruisers – traffic is still skeletal. There was a time when summers in Atlanta seemed alternately defined and defiled by the booming bass thumping from chromed-out Ford Explorers and box Chevys sitting on 24-inch rims as riders snaked their way from Five Points to Midtown and farther north up to Buckhead. But the rite of passage no longer enjoys the right-of-way it once did on Peachtree Street.
That doesn't prevent die-hard cruisers from threading Atlanta's best-known thoroughfare every weekend. For the last half-century or so, summer nights have started and ended behind the wheel of a car. Each generation rediscovers the route toward postadolescent exploration.
Of course, Truitt isn't nearly as concerned with the existential profundities of riding out as he is with the line of females standing outside Club 112 near 12th Street. It's mating season and the short skirts, long legs and, ahem, lovely lady humps have stolen his focus for now.
Time for a little show-and-tell.
"Females like to see shiny things for some reason," says the husky, baby-faced Truitt, who barely looks old enough to buy a girl a drink. Nevertheless, several of them turn to check him out as he creeps by in his shiny ride. "Lotta times when I ride out, I be hollerin' [at the females]. A lotta times I just be into my music man, just ridin'."
That seems to be the overwhelming vibe that compels so many solo cruisers such as Truitt to hit Peachtree in the summertime. And the hotter it gets, the bigger the crowds will get. "If it's something going on downtown or something going on in Atlanta, that's usually when Peachtree is jumping," he says. And with the onslaught of events lined up over the next three months, Peachtree could soon be bouncing again the way it was before the Buckhead club scene fizzled out because of the early bar closings instituted three years ago.
But the riders out here tonight aren't trying to re-create the past as much as they are trying to make the most of the present. A black Yukon Denali inches up near the club, bumping Mike Jones' ubiquitous hit from two years ago, "Back Then." The lyrics of the hook – "Back then, didn't want me; now I'm hot, all on me" – could easily double as Truitt's theme song tonight, considering he was pushing what he calls an "old-school" '86 Pontiac Firebird until about six months ago. Since then, the East Point native, who works as an assembler at a local auto-manufacturing plant, has upgraded.
After a couple of laps on Peachtree – from Verve Lounge near Pine Street to Club 112 near 13th Street – he's done with the foreplay and ready to head to his final destination, which tends to be closer to home. Clubs outside the city limits aren't hampered by early closing times.
"It's better for us to stay in our own neighborhoods anyway," says Truitt, who frequents clubs such as the Ritz on Old National Highway or Central Station in East Point, where cruising has given way to another four-wheel pastime: parking-lot pimpin'.
"It's just postin' up in the parking lot, basically," he explains. "That way a female already knows what you got outside."
