That’s gonna be cozy.
I want to sleep in that bed.
Oh man
Nothing funnier than the host of our show teaching Kurt about local gang culture. Because he is sooooo gangster
Drinks with Brent. Been too long with this guy! Love it……
This is what you call two a-holes who wait until I leave to grab drinks.
WOMEN’S SPORTS
This picture was taken a few years ago. The girl being carried went to the same college as myself, Western Oregon University, and was a mild acquaintance of mine. Nice gal, named Sara.
Now, through my 4 years at WOU we had an awful softball team. But the year after I graduated they actually did pretty good and made whatever kind of playoffs they have for Division II Softball in Oregon. It was Sara’s senior season, and in her entire career she had not hit one home run, not one.
Late in the game, in the first round of the playoffs, Sara stepped up to the plate in a hotly contested game. She got the pitch she was looking for and blasted it over the fence for the first home run of her career. What happened next could have been due to the excitement of such an achievement in such an important game, or it could have just been a fluke accident.
Either way, as she stepped on first base her knee gave out, tearing her ACL badly. She made multiple attempts to continue circling the bases, but just couldn’t put the weight on her leg. If any of her teammates or coaches had helped her off the field, it would have been an automatic out and the home run would not have counted. Her first home run in the most important game of her college career, would not have counted.
So instead, what you see in this picture happened. Two girls for the opposing team asked the umpires if it would still count if they carried her around the bases. The umpires allowed it, so they picked her right up and walked her around the infield. Stopping at each base so she could touch it with the foot on her good leg. The home run ended up being the difference in a victory for Western Oregon, ending the other team’s season.
The story and this particular picture became an instant phenomenon. It was all over the news, and the three girls even won an ESPY (ESPN’s annual award show, hosted this year by Seth Meyers). Millions of people across the country were inspired by such generosity and sportsmanship.
It was really incredible and exciting for all WOU alumni, including myself. Knowing Sara personally made it even more exciting. But despite all that, I kept having the same thought throughout all of it…
Girls don’t know shit about sports.
Curt kills me.
My First Post
Tonight ends my first week as a Producer. Whoa. I’ve learned quite a bit about myself this week and see the power of what you can be like when you like what you do.
Thanks, Kurt for making this week super fun.
