Pro tip: Don't sleep with your teammates during the season.

that lesson was learned a few seasons ago...

keeping girls on the team has been...a challenge.

this pregnant one is at least married to one of the other guys on the team

(no other volleyball girls were impregnated...it just got awkward and they bailed)

Bad planning on their part. Should have waited a few months to put a baby in her.

agree

I will bring that up next time they decide to ruin our championship run

luckily, I do have 2 very solid girls on the team who aren't currently knocked up so I think we have a chance

In the early hours of August 2, 1943, a Japanese destroyer rams an American PT (patrol torpedo) boat, No. 109, slicing it in two. The destruction is so massive other American PT boats in the area assume the crew is dead. Two crewmen were, in fact, killed, but 11 survived, including Lt. John F...

Arguably more egregious than Coal Hammels knocking up his wife in January of '09 and impacting their chance to repeat as WFC.

Not exactly but it was the first step for sure. He was constrained by parliament for awhile but it didn't take him and his thugs long at all to bust enough heads of the opposition til it all evaporated as everyone fled in horror. Simultaneous to this, other things were happening economically that made Hitler look like a savior. So political opposition from all sides disappeared very rapidly.

When it comes to the Third Reich, Hollywood couldn't make this shit up. Absolutely fascinating.

If anyone is interested I highly recommend Hitler by Volker Ullrich but the absolute ultimate is The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer. Without a doubt, no close second, the most fascinating page-turner I've ever read. When I got it, I thought "I'll never be able to read something like this" since it looks like an encyclopedia but I started reading and the next thing I knew I had been in an armchair reading til 4am.

Truth is way stranger than fiction.

Last 10 days of the Dog Days of Summer. Football will be here soon thankfully. This has to be the most boring time of year.
