Mike Hollis Puts His Foot Into Ice Bucket Challenge

((HT: Mike Hollis' Instagram))

We posted the Biz Nasty #IceBucketChallenge because of its sheer brilliance...

The former Jags kicker Mike Hollis is right up there with the Bill Gates version for challenges that are more ground-based...

There's a little William Tell vibe to it, too...


See...??? Once accurate, always accurate...kick

And The First Commish To Complete The Ice Bucket Challenge Is...??? (Unless, Of Course, He Was Really Third)

How many of you had Gary Bettman in your pool...???

Not Goodell, Silver, or Selig...

But the NHL Commish


For those of you who don't know, the Challenge started when Boston athletes wanted to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) and support 29-year-old former Boston College baseball captain Pete Frates. Frates is unable to speak and is confined to a wheelchair because of the disease.

Full disclosure...

The HQ knows several folks who suffer from this awful disease and they are tremendous role models for all of us...

We will be making donations to ALS societies instead of catching pneumonia...

It is hard to believe that 75 years have passed since one of the most simple, emphatic, and heart felt speeches in the history of sports.

The speech itself took less than a minute, but it's words are still ringing true today.

Here is how Major League Baseball is remembering Lou Gehrig's salute to everyone and everything he loved.


Full disclosure...

The HQ has people very close to us who suffer from the disease and they are some of the best people and role models you can ever come across. We support their causes and others that are similar in the hope that, one day, it can be off the map.
