((HT: WCCO-TV/Columbia Pictures))
The movie is twenty years old and really is making us feel old at the moment...
Timothy Busfield's-Paul Molitor character with the twinkle toes swing
Jonathan Silverman learning the value of pumping up the glove
The hidden ball trick fooling Ken Griffey, Junior
Having Randy Johnson to close a playoff game
And, of course, "Bite Me!"
The star of the movie was invited back in town to celebrate and there's even an FOSG twist at the end of the story
But, there's always math we have to deal with, isn't there...???

#Gehrig75
((HT:MLB.com))
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.

It Was 20 Years Ago Today
((HT: ESPN/ABC/CNN/Youtube))
And this has nothing to do with Sergeant Pepper...
It's one those moments where you remember where you were...
And always will...
Where were you...? And what do you think about the whole thing today...???

Tillman Plus Ten: Where Are We...???
The answer, sadly, is nowhere and everywhere...
Do we have more answers...??? Sure...
Do we have all the answers...??? No...
And we may never get them...
Mike Fish has done some more quality work talking about where we are in all of this. He tracked down Bryan O'Neal, who survived the friendly fire assault, and Steven Elliott. Elliott was one of the Rangers who fired upon Tillman and the two other Rangers in the mountains. He thinks he may have been the soldier who fired the shots that killed him.
((HT: ESPN))
And Mary Tillman's words still ring true today...
((HT: MSNBC))
As do Pat's brother, Kevin, during the hearings on Capitol Hill
((HT: C-SPAN))
Full disclosure...
The HQ has given to, and will continue to, the Pat Tillman Foundation...
And what happened then, and what has continue to happen to this day- not just in the Tillman case, but other incidents- should give cause to all of us as to what we pay attention to and how we do it.
Always question... always ask... and always wonder...
Cris Collinsworth has maintained that Tillman should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The HQ would go with that as long as others like Bob Kalsu are given the same honor in a wing for contributors.

Steve Moore Can't Believe It Has Been 10 Years...
((HT: Sportsnet))
Scotty Morrison caught up with former Colorado Avalanche winger Steve Moore on the tenth anniversary of Todd Bertuzzi pile driving him into the ice
((HT: HockeyWebCaster/Sportsnet))
Bertuzzi would initially apologize in front of the Vancouver media...
And Moore still can't believe things haven't been solved...
Moore suffered three fractured neck vertebrae, facial cuts, and a concussion...
Bertuzzi was suspended for the remainder of the 2004 regular season...
The civil suit Moore has pending on Bertuzzi is set to be addressed in September

Gretzky Goes To Tinseltown Plus 25
((HT: Sportsnet))
It will be 25 years this week that Wayne Gretzky was either traded or sold- depending on your perspective from the Edmonton Oilers to the silver-and-black Los Angeles Kings...
Christine Simpson traveled 9,000 miles to put together this must-see story on the principles in the deal...
Who still have their own opinions...
Now, if she could only tell the lunchtime stories that are off the record...
