3. Little Big Man

Since I come from a ridiculously short (we like to call it "vertically challenged") family, I have a heightened appreciation for success stories, like this one, about Rice running back Jayson Carter, who's listed as "4-foot-9, 130 lbs." If he makes it big, consider the "Danny Woodhead is so awesome because he's so tiny look at him he's only 5-foot-7, awwwww what a fighter!!!" Era officially over. Best luck to Jayson, who, when asked if his size is a disadvantage, coolly responded with "When they see me they're like, 'whoa what's going on.' That gives me the upper hand. I have the advantage." This kid, who was also valedictorian of his high school, is a Boss.

5. Steve Nash Suits Up

Steve Nash has kept himself busy during the NBA Lockout, as he now has his own line of suits out for Indochina Suits. Apparently progress is being made in the NBA Labor talks -- think it has anything to do with Steve walking into a room full of owners to discuss the a deal in that suit? Dude means business.

1. Buckner Foretells His Own Fate

Everyone has nightmares, but unfortunately Bill Buckner's became a reality. He eerily predicted his grim future a mere 19 days before the fateful Game 6 of the 1986 World Series: "The dreams are that you're gonna have a great series and win, and the nightmares are that you're gonna let the winning run score on a ground ball through your legs."

2. Wait ... Baseball's Still On?

Hey, everyone, the World Series is on! Oh, wait, you know? Oh, wait, you're watching a rerun of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" instead regardless? Joel Sherman of the New York Post explains why World Series ratings are at their lowest since 1987, and it can all be traced back to the simple philosophy that "the truth is, you love what you hate." And unless you're from Texas or St. Louis, without the Yanks, Phils and Red Sox in there to despise, there's no point of watching in the first place. And people aren't.

4. Uplifting Message Of The Day ...

In this "Stand Up To Cancer" ad that's running during the World Series, a bunch of athletes, including Brian Wilson and his beard, stand in solidarity against cancer. The most touching moment, a moment that I think even Phillies fans wouldn’t boo through, comes towards the end, when Ron Darling is seen holding a sign that says, "I Stand up for My Catcher," in reference to Gary Carter who's battling Stage 4 brain cancer.
