I’ve never shared the full inside baseball on the... inside fastball that broke my jaw April 5, 2008 at Ole Miss, we were facing projected 1st rounder and future Big Leaguer, Lance Lynn Before it became widespread, Lance had success pitching towards the top of the zone with a fastball that appeared to rise He got me out my first at bat on a high fastball that I should have laid off So my 2nd at bat I told myself to see the ball down in the zone My eyes jumped from his release point to the area I was trying to see the ball down to. I never ended up seeing the pitch until .01 before it hit me If you’ve ever gotten hit in the face, you don’t know what happened at first. So it took me about half a second to realize what happened When I did, I fully expected to spit teeth out and when I leaned over to spit and saw that only blood came out, I assumed I was fine Then I heard the Ole Miss head coach yell “it hit his bat,” because the cracking of my jaw sounded like a foul ball off a mental bat I turned around and yelled “shut the fuck up” at their dugout and proceeded on to first base My trainer came up to me and his first words were “oh fuck,” Knowing that was poor bedside manner, and that I was probably very fucked up, I joked “you’re not supposed to say that,” At that point I knew I was coming out of the game but I was so full of adrenaline that it didn’t hurt and wouldn’t begin to hurt for a couple hours Both the pitcher and coach felt so bad after it happened that both came to apologize to me at the end of the inning while I was beside their dugout being tended to by my trainer and their doctor I actually had to walk to the parking lot through the stadium seats and all the fans looked at me in horror as I had a white bloody rag hanging off my face. It was surreal watching their reactions to my blood We drove over to an Oxford medical center that was clearly not the best location for me to be in, so my coach’s wife drive me up to Nashville to get surgery that night We got swept that weekend and I got my jaw wired shut for the first of 6 weeks I stupidly tried to come back and play the following week. My coaches let me as I was medically cleared to hit with a face mask, but the rest of my season I was a different hitter I was hitting .400 at the time of the fracture, 2nd in the SEC, with 2 months left in the season I finished the year hitting .312. Meaning I flipped from one of the best hitters in the conference to one of the worst before and after the incident Despite finishing my Vandy career 7th on their all time hit list, this play is what I hear about the most when I return I’ve been lucky that I haven’t had much issues with my jaw thus far post incident, although I did find out that 2 of the nerves of the impacted teeth are dead, and I will likely need to get one of those teeth extracted at some point When they showed me the X Ray it was a clear break. A scary image that could have been WAY worse if it were 3 inches higher, as I likely would not be able to see out of my left eye (and wouldn’t be as handsome as I am) Anyway, to have interesting ideas you must have interesting experiences and this was certainly oneshow more

Dominic West, aka Detective Jimmy McNulty, is a British... actor who had to adjust his accent to be authentic in his role on the iconic TV series ‘The Wire’. The show is set in Baltimore and is suffused with Baltimore culture, including its language. Co-creator Ed Burns said that West spent a lot of time going over the accent with David Simon: ‘“Now, say it like po-lice.” “Police.” “No, po-lice.”’ Others helped out as well. Peter Gerety, a veteran of stage and screen who played Judge Daniel Phelan, said West asked him for guidance: He said, ‘I need you to listen to me. I’ve got to get this Baltimore accent down,’ because, of course, he’s British. He actually does a really good American accent, but I sort of sat with him, and he just worked through stuff for a couple of days, just to get his Baltimore accent closer. Not that I was all that great with it, but I think I helped him a little bit. Dominic West elaborates on the challenge: It never got any easier for me. It was a real problem for me, actually. I worked pretty hard on it. I think the producers felt that, eventually, perhaps I wouldn’t need the coach anymore, but I did. I needed it right up until we wrapped the whole series, and it was a constant effort particularly any time he [McNulty] got emotional or you started shouting. That’s when you lose the accent and start going into your own accent. I always dreaded those scenes, and it was a pain.show more

🚨 SHIKHAR DHAWAN REVEALS THE LOWEST POINT OF HIS... LIFE 🚨 Question 🗣️: What was the lowest point of your life? Shikhar Dhawan Said 🗣️: "When I was 21 years old, I went on a tour of Australia to play for India. At that time, I would get attracted to almost every girl I saw. I got into a relationship with one of them, and we partied a lot, had a lot of fun, and I got heavily involved in that lifestyle. Because of that, I couldn’t play the entire series, and my focus completely deteriorated. Then, when she left me, I would slowly break down and cry in the car, and I went through a very depressing phase. After that, I drifted away from the India team circle. If I had performed well in that series, I might have played for the Indian team much earlier. That’s one of the reasons why I made my India debut later than I could have."show more

In a recent filter interview, Karim Benzema opened up... about his time playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid and he didn’t hold back. Benzema claimed Ronaldo was extremely selfish on the pitch, always wanting to take every set piece: “Ronaldo wanted everything corners, free kicks, penalties… everything. If he didn’t score in a match, he wouldn’t talk to anyone in the dressing room. That’s just how he was. I still remember one game where I had already scored two goals. I got fouled inside the box and it was a clear penalty my chance for the first hat-trick of my career. The coach told me to take the penalty, but Cristiano came and took the ball from me. He took the shot instead. That’s the kind of teammate he was. When Cristiano left for Juventus, that’s when I started shining. I finally had the freedom to express myself and become the player I always knew I could be.”show more
