For Dale Murphy, From Your Son
Artist: Tyson Murphy / Image Source
The image above is a cartoon drawn by one Tyson Murphy for his father Dale Murphy. Dale was one of my all-time favorite players growing up as a baseball-loving kiddo. This is a great story I was turned onto at Deadspin. The article is written by Deadspin's Barry Petchesky:
It's Dale Murphy's 15th and final year on the Hall of Fame ballot, and while his chances of getting in are slim, his children are doing their part to honor him the way they remember him. Tyson Murphy isn't a sports fan—he's an artist at Blizzard Entertainment, the video game developer responsible for the World of Warcraft games. But he drew his dad this doodle for Christmas, as a tribute to the man whose non-baseball exploits meant more to him.. (cont'd)

Saints' Brees Is The Man

What a game! I'm pretty sure that's gonna be my lingering memory from this year's Super Bowl. Those few minutes right after the game when the camera was focused on Saints' QB Drew Brees and his son were priceless. If you could go into Drew's head at that moment, nothing else that was happening around him during those few minutes mattered. All he heard was silence, and all he cared about was enjoying that moment with his son.
I remember several scenes from one of my all-time favorite movies, John Woo's "Face Off" (Travolta/Cage), when right in the midst of an incredible action sequence, everything goes to slow-motion, and there is sometimes even no background music . The scenes allow you to feel what the characters are feeling at that very moment.
That's how that moment must have felt for Brees. It brought tears to my eyes.
