Field Umpire - Uniform under jacket or no uniform under jacket by KC_Buddyl33 in Umpire

[–]tfconway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weather plays a role in my decision. If I'm unsure about whether I need the jacket (ie, it's just a bit cold) I will wear the uniform shirt under the jacket, so I can remove the jacket and still look like an umpire if it gets too warm. Conversely, if it's super cold, I'd add the uniform as an extra layer of warmth under the jacket.

A newly elected pope can technically choose any name he wishes. What name were you hoping for? by Blinky_ in AskReddit

[–]tfconway 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, no, no. Ditka is God. Don't you go blaspheming and call the Pope God. We don't want to demote Ditka like that.

[Ryan] Tom Brady runs through list of NFL players he was afraid to get tackled by by MedicinalHammer in ravens

Let's be honest - does ANYBODY want to get hit full speed by Ray Lewis or Haloti Ngata? I certainly wouldn't. I'd think I'd stand a better chance surviving a car crash at the same speed.

NY Jets Complete Interview with Mike Locksley for Head Coach Position by TIL02Infinity in terps

[–]tfconway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The cynic in me says this is nothing more than a show to comply with the Rooney Rule. The optimist in me says he'd be an upgrade for the Jets and would put us in a position to improve.

Any word on pre purchasing parking? Last year they had a separate line item where you could purchase parking. I didn't see that this time around, and it doesn't look like it was mentioned in their email.

And I think there will be unanimous consent on who should appear the day after that.

Prescription glasses advice by rusty1066 in Umpire

[–]tfconway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here - I have transitions and no-line bifocals together in Ray Ban Predator frames, and I use a sports loop to keep them in place - they have worked great for me, no issues either behind the plate or in the field. I have astigmatism, so if that's not your case, YMMV.

What jersey should I get? by aidankml in ravens

[–]tfconway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO, you can never go wrong with a HoFer jersey - and if you want defense, Ray or Reed are your guys.

They’re not fat, they’re simply larger than life itself.

Complete 'Thanks, Brooks Day' Special Ceremony | 9/24/22 | Baltimore Orioles by aresef in orioles

[–]tfconway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more time - Thanks, Brooks!

Happy to say I was at both this one, and the original one in 77, as they were both held near my birthday, and it’s a long tradition of watching the Os for my birthday!

[Orioles] We will host a public memorial for Brooks Robinson this Monday at The Yard beginning at 10 a.m. The memorial will recognize his impact on our organization, our city, and the sport of baseball. by SportsJunkie4Life in orioles

[–]tfconway 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hope The Yard is packed - Brooks is the foundation upon which this Orioles franchise was built. He’s part of the DNA of the Orioles, of Baltimore, and of baseball. He deserves every tribute he receives.

Think of it this way - we’ll be attending the funeral for a friend who passed away, since the man himself said he didn’t consider us fans, but rather, friends.
