I created a new Poker Reality Show!!!

this is the greatest scene in the history of cinema

I called my dad to tell him I was about to get fired. I told him the GM was on his way to my house and that I'd call him after. Forty minutes later I had to call him back and it wasn't the call either of us expected... Here's the story: The GM had been trying to reach me for days. I thought it was about our offense because I was in charge of the offense and we weren't hitting so I figured I was next in line to go. He called and said he needed to meet that morning. I told him I had a dentist appointment. He said he'd come to my house after. That's when I knew: • Nobody drives to your house for a good conversation • A GM coming to your home means one thing So I started mentally preparing for the news I called my dad down in Merritt Island...I said, "Dad, the GM's coming over to fire me. I'll call you after." He shows up. Talks about the offense. Our lack of consistent play. I'm sitting there thinking...here it comes. Then he says: "I let Buddy Bell go this morning. I'm here to ask you to be the interim manager." Didn't see it coming. I had no clue. I called my dad back forty minutes later. "Dad, not only am I not getting fired but I'm managing a ball game tonight. You and mom need to get on a flight out of Orlando and get here." Here's what it taught me: You can't always see what's coming. But you can control how ready you are when it does. The opportunity didn't come because I was waiting for it. It came because I was ready for it. Be ready. Your call is coming.
