We’re sports guys. We played sports and we still follow sports. At the same time, we also enjoy the unique buffoonery that’s part of this world. Renaming college football’s postseason ‘Independence Bowl’ the ‘Poulan Weed-Eater Independence Bowl ’? Sure. The FIFA soccer corruption guy renting a $6,000-a-month apartment for his cats? Definitely. The pitcher who burned his chest trying to iron a shirt while he was still wearing it? Absolutely.
The following is a condensed e-mail from a guy named Kyle Stark, a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ front office, who sent this to the rest of the staff about developing young players. In it, he promotes a philosophy that is as equally confusing as it is ridiculous. And after reading it, all we could conclude was that Kyle watches way too much ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ and listens to a ton of Tony Robbins. If you can make any sense of this rambling and mildly coherent memo, then you’re a better person than we are.
Nevertheless, we invite you to Dream like a Hippie…
