  1. All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Andy did it in less than twenty. Oh, Andy loved geology. I imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature. An ice age here, million years of mountain building there. Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big goddamn poster. Like I said, in prison a man will do most anything to keep his mind occupied. Turns out Andy's favorite hobby was totin' his wall out into the exercise yard, a handful at a time. I guess after Tommy was killed, Andy decided he'd been here just about long enough. Andy did like he was told, buffed those shoes to a high mirror shine. The guards simply didn't notice. Neither did I... I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a mans shoes? Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile.

  2. Love him or hate him, you gotta respect what he did for fans of his team. Shame he wasn't elected to the HOF as a builder while he was alive.

    Report: Steinbrenner dies at 80

    ESPN.com news services

    George Steinbrenner died Tuesday morning, a person close to the longtime New York Yankees owner told The Associated Press.

    WABC-TV in New York reported that Steinbrenner, the Yankees' owner since 1973, suffered a massive heart attack.

    According to reports, Steinbrenner, who celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4, was taken to a Tampa hospital after emergency crews responded to his home Monday night.

    Steinbrenner gave his sons, Hal and Hank, day-to-day control of the team in late 2007.

    He told The Associated Press last week that he was "feeling good" after spending a couple hours in his office at the Yankees' spring training complex.

    Under his ownership, the Yankees have won seven AL pennants and seven World Series titles.

    Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

  3. Holy shit this sounds wicked!

    Being ~25, a millionaire, living on the beach in whack houses with your three best friends, running the NBA (in their minds).

    It has to be that simple, right? These are KIDS.

  4. As soon as Millman left the ball started rolling on this. I'm happy for the change - the morning show was just the same shit every day forever, and the Hogan slot was snap time.

    And yes, Faraway is terrible. I'll listen to Phish until September.

    ;)
