Lots of numbers about weather, Braves, Falcons, UGA football and anything else I find interesting. I collect sports cards primarily from 1979-1986, and 1975 Topps baseball.

For years, I used Dave Parker as my litmus test for HOF candidacy. Now that he’s been elected, should he remain the standard, or is there someone else who would be better? Kenny Lofton? Lou Whitaker?

Tottenham has a +4 goal differential yet stand in 17th place in the Premier League (of 20 teams).

Hey @obxleatherman.bsky.social it's Tatis day!

Was wondering the other day who might hold the MLB record for games played at multiple positions, meaning a player played two or more positions in the same game. Don’t want pinch hitters who then took the field, just players who played two or more defensive positions in a game. Any ideas?

Tell your friends you love them. I have a dear friend who started doing this so I try to do it. It’s more important now than ever.

Joe Charboneau holds the MLB record for the biggest difference between their best and 2nd best RBI seasons: he had 87 in 1980 and 18 in 1981.

In 1997, Barry Sanders ran for a total of 53 yards in his first two games, and then exactly 2,000 more yards in his final 14 games, including at least 100 yards in each of those 14. No one else has more than 12 100-yard games in an NFL season.

A good percentage of injuries when you’re in your 50s come from sleeping the wrong way. Just changing pillows can take you out for a week.

Happy Thanksgiving. Here is a cool video I took of Bobby Shantz going through my son’s well loved in progress 1952 Topps set. He loved going through the album. To be able to meet One of the players from the 52 set was an amazing experience. He was more than Happy to sign his card #cardsky #baseball

Connie Mack, who was born during the Civil War in 1862, managed Bobby Shantz in 1950. Here is Shantz at a recent card show. He turned 99 in September. bsky.app/profile/bobb...

Pretty tired of getting work texts from Brazil today. Why don’t they know I’m watching football and eating bird today?

How did our parents pull off Thanksgiving 40 years ago when everything was closed on Thanksgiving? We’ve already made two trips to the store today.

My brother-in-law is visiting and he told us about a first year teacher at his school who was teaching about 9/11, an event which happened AFTER HER BIRTH.

The best analogy i have for switching from X to🦋 is the traffic when I moved to Greensboro from Atlanta. In Atlanta, I had a 18 mile drive that took an hour each way and you arrived exhausted. In Greensboro, my 11 mile drive takes 15 minutes and the roads are wide open. Refreshing, by comparison.

The Falcons, Saints, and Panthers have combined for 52 sacks this season. The Broncos have 44 sacks already this season.

Drafting Christian McCaffery first overall has pissed me off for 12 consecutive weekends now.

Sold for $40,302 on eBay last night by Greg Morris Cards. If you’re looking to add this card to your collection in decent condition, it’s gonna cost you $25,000-$50,000.

Fall would be a lot more terrifying if every leaf screamed on its way to the ground.

Did CJ Stroud just Orlovsky the game away?
