Gary Cohen on Carlos Mendoza and the Mets, in what would become a Rockies 3-0 win and three-game (and doubleheader) sweep. #MLB

La Reggia is filled every night & booked for months. Leonardo saw a couple Mets livestream clips & insisted I come home to Fiesole ASAP
He finally lost patience & set me up atop the village with a pool overlooking Florence, next to his restaurant
I go Wednesday
Thank you Mets

I don’t normally talk about professional wrestling on this page because it’s not what my audience is here for, but after what I saw from fans at WWE WrestleMania this past weekend, I’m making an exception.
I’m going to be blunt, so bear with me.
I’ve followed pro wrestling since I was five years old. I’m 48 now.
Some of my closest friends are current and former superstars. I won’t name them, because they don’t need the heat that comes with being associated with me.
When I was around 10, we found out what hotel the wrestlers were staying at in New Jersey. I begged my mom (RIP), who hated wrestling but would do anything for me, to take me. She reluctantly agreed.
We went with a small group of kids and adults.
Before we left, she made sure I showered and dressed nicely. You know, like a person.
When we got there and I started seeing these larger-than-life superheroes, I wanted to run up to every single one of them. My mom grabbed my arm and said, “They’re checking in. They’re busy. Wait.”
So I waited.
Within an hour, many of them were in the lobby, and every one of them was happy to interact, take photos, and sign autographs.
Later, before we left, I saw a tag team eating in the hotel café. Again, I wanted to rush over. Again, my mom grabbed my arm and said, “They’re people like everyone else. They’re eating. You don’t interrupt people like that.”
That team saw what happened. Within minutes, they came out of the café, found me, picked a spot with good lighting for a photo, and signed autographs.
And my mom made sure I said “please” and “thank you” every single time.
Years later, I became an indie promoter (a mediocre one, if I’m being honest), but I made more friends in the business through my current line of work. There’s nothing quite like realizing that someone you grew up watching is now a fan of you.
I say all of that to say this:
What some fans did this weekend was reprehensible.
It’s exactly why people look at wrestling fans as the dregs of society.
Wrestlers were accosted, harassed, even physically grabbed, and treated like circus animals.
If you call yourself a fan and that’s how you behave, you’re not a fan. You’re a selfish prick.
Chasing people around, shoving cameras in their faces, demanding autographs like you’re owed something—that’s not fandom. That’s entitlement.
And here’s another concept that apparently needs to be explained:
Shower. Shave. Put on clean clothes.
You want to get close to these people, and you look and smell like a gas station bathroom. Think about that.
And the way some of you interact with female wrestlers is beyond unacceptable.
This isn’t a strip club in a seedy part of town. You don’t get to touch anyone. Ever. Especially not them.
If they choose to put an arm around you for a photo, fine. But you do not initiate that. Their personal space belongs to them, not you.
It’s not complicated.
Be clean. Be respectful. Be grateful.
Do that, and you’ll have a great experience.
This has been my TED Talk.

@FBG_Support @FanaticsBook so I got a “void” on the Detroit Tigers -1.5 when the game ended 11-6. How and why?

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

Barkley dropped truth 💯
We used to CELEBRATE coaches like Pitino & Izzo. Now it’s clip-chasing to shame greatness 🤦♂️
Players don’t need soft… they need being coached hard and accountability . They need adversity. That’s LIFE.

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot.
"You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in."
"That's the American way - except America has gotten soft."
You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn.
It starts with showing up and earning it every single day.
No shortcuts...Just hard work.

Let's see how this slick operator works in action in that poorly received Fight Inc series. This is what they willingly showed (the Sterling-Tiki clip series).
"I don't do business with him (Dana), I get nervous around him".
