FREE TO BE - YOU AND ME

--


"Being an NFL player, I had a problem with some of the rules. I wasn't very comfortable with it, and I decided to walk away from it.

Being away and having a chance to learn a lot about myself, I realized that freedom is having the strength to be in any situation and be content with that situation."

THINKING OUTSIDE THE (BATTER'S) BOX

--

NORTH UNION TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A T-ball coach seeking to keep a player with a mental disability off the field allegedly asked another player to hurt the boy, state police said Friday.
The alleged incident happened June 27 at R.W. Clark Little League Field in North Union Township, Fayette County, police said.

During pre-game warmups, Mark Reed Downs Jr. offered one of his players $25 to hit the 8-year-old boy in the head with a baseball, according to a police news release.

After speaking with Downs, the second player hit the victim near his left ear and in the groin area, leaving him unable to play in that night's game, state police said.

"The coach seemed to find excuses not to play this child because he wasn't that talented,"

Trooper Thomas Broadwater told Channel 4 Action News. "On the 27th, the child was basically beaned in the head with a baseball."

The injured boy's mother was suspicious, so she approached the player who threw the ball and he told her about the payment offer, Broadwater said.

AND BESIDES, HOW MANY TIMES HAS JESUS BEEN TO THE SUPERBOWL?

--

"It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, I don't have to worry about what people think of me, whether they hate me or not. People hated on Jesus. They threw stones at him and tried to kill him, so how can I complain or worry about what people think?"

I GUESS THAT WAS FOR AIRBALLS

--

A Staten Island basketball coach was arrested for an unorthodox approach to teaching free-throw shooting: He gave cash to boys who made them and spanked those who missed, authorities said.

Police sources said he made them pull down their shorts and usually spanked them with his bare hand, but that "at least once he used a wooden Ping-Pong paddle."
