TRUE TO FORM, ESPN gave this little light yesterday...THIS IS A MAJOR BIG DEAL

Stat: There’s a new college basketball . With her 1,203rd career victory on Sunday, Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer passed Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski to become the winningest basketball coach in NCAA history. In a recent interview with the NYT, VanDerveer shared her rules for leading a winning team: “Hire right.

Morning Brew's Hello today...

You got that goin' for ya

Good morning. We did it, folks—we made it through the darkest timeline. The sun will set at 5pm in New York City tonight, and the next pre-5pm sunset won’t be until November.

Goodbye, untranslatable Scandinavian words for “cozy.”

Hello, sunshine.

You wouldn't think Buffalo would have to deal with all the NFL trauma after all the trauma they endured during the Jim Kelly era, but NOOOOOOOO...

They are going to endure it during the Josh Allen era too.

Don't get me wrong, I was rooting for the KC Taylors, but I do have empathy still...

ON this date in 1951 - Fidel Castro was ejected from a Winter League baseball game after hitting a batter.

Cuban Mephistos' (opposing team) fans, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, were merciless in their rants against Fidel.

Bun yelled "Fidel, you're a bum! I haven't seen this poor a pitcher since the last time Congress threw a curve to the Americans."

Fidel later gave up baseball for politics.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were never heard from again in Cuba.

"Write whatever the hell you want today, Purple and I aren't getting up..."

And ya know, the Boyz are still in bed.

IT WAS WEIRD ON THIS DATE IN 2014...

I awake like I normally do; the dogs stir and get ready to go outside, the temp. is 8.2 degrees and dropping...

Bun Man and Mr. Purple both look at me and Purple says, "You tell him..."

Before I could say tell me what, Bun turns to me, grabs my chin so he gets my full attention (I also tell the Mikster to use this approach to cure my selective hearing) and says

Bun Man said, "Jahan was settin' the bar too high; whatever did he think the rest of us were going to do when our wives died?"

Mr. Purple replied "We will bury them w/ dignity, perhaps not as ostentatiously, but they'll have dignity..."

WITH DIGNITY

ON this date in 1666 - Shah Jahan, a descendant of Genghis Khan and Timur, died at the age of 74.

He was the Mongul emperor of India who built the Taj Mahal as a mausoleum for his wife Mumtaz-i-Mahal.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, Co-Rulers of Zamunda, were actually kinda glad to hear about the demise of Jahan.

ON this date in 2016

Oh yeah, so I'm taking the Mikster to work this AM (HTS (Husband Taxi Service) from Husband Training 201) and I'm listening to XM the Sixties on the way home and all of a sudden Thunderclap Newman comes on w/ their seminal 60s hit 'Something in the Air' and I immediately name their lead singer Speedy Keen...

So let's leave it alone, 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree

$1 million in heaven

Joe asked God, "How much is a penny worth in Heaven?"

God replied, "$1 million."

Joe asked, "How long is a minute in Heaven?"

God said, "1 million years."

Joe asked for a penny.

God said, "Sure, in a minute."

I think this applies to those who are straight and to those who aren't...

The path to success is rarely straight.
