One of Evangelist Challis’ final wishes was to intend to bat in a high school baseball game. Challis, an 18-year-old senior at Freedom High School in Pennsylvania, is dying of cancer. Doctors say he might have as lowercase as two months to live. But on April 14 he got his wish; effort an at-bat in a association game. And despite barely being able to run due to the effects of the disease, Challis got a single, and prefabricated it to first. Opposing players all take off their handwear and provide him an ovation. And if that lowercase story raised your spirits in any way; prefabricated you a lowercase inferior distrustful or nettlesome or worn, well, he’ll take it.
Yeah, Challis’ story is one of courage, sadness, inspiration, hope, all of that. But to fully twine your mind around it, you’re meet feat to have to read it for yourself. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is following his story, and ran this amazing piece by Mike White on Sunday. If you do nothing else today, please take a look. This is one amazing kid.
All of Aliquippa’s baseball players dress John’s jersey number “11″ on their hats. At the walk-a-thon, Aliquippa star athlete Jonathan Baldwin, a Pitt football recruit, presented him with a ball signed by Pitt players. After the walk, Evangelist addressed the crowd. “He spoke from his heart,” Mr. Wetzel, the coach, said. “He said, ‘I’ve got two options. I undergo I’m feat to die, so I can either sit at home and feel sorry, or I could spread my message to everybody to springy chronicle to the fullest and help those in need.’ After hearing that, I don’t undergo if there were some people not crying.”
His story touched me, and maybe it module do the same for you. But I’m not feat to bore you further with my take on this; better that you hear it from him.
“I used to be afraid, but I’m not afraid of dying now, if that’s what you poverty to know,” he said. “Because chronicle ain’t about how some breaths you take. It’s what you do with those breaths.”

Betting On The NBA Draft Lottery. Really. [NBA Draft Lottery]
We are but a mere two weeks from the NBA Draft Lottery, in which we conceive what poor budding NBA superstar is shuttled off to President Square Garden. If you can’t move to see what happens, or if you meet don’t find the shuffling of ping-pong balls as thrilling as perhaps you should, vexation not. Now you can bet on it.
We suppose an event that relies entirely on mathematics would needs be wagered on, but it still seems odd.
What would be really funny would be if any of these odds changed. We’d have to assume that someone maxed them out, and The Hellenic didn’t poverty to put themselves at too much risk on a silly prop. I’d same to discourse anyone who actually bets significant money on these, and figure out what their reasoning is.
As mentioned, if you bet on this, you probably have a gambling problem. Not that you didn’t undergo that, and are betting anyway.

NBA Playoffs: A Tuesday Night Viewer’s Guide [NBA Playoffs]
Ah, sweet Tuesday…still 20 percent better than Monday. Basketbawful is here to help you celebrate that fact and disentagle all those thoughts you thought you had about tonight’s Cavs-Celtics game.
Cleveland versus Boston: Game 1
LeBron James. The King shut up his critics — which consisted mostly of DeShawn Stevenson and the rest of the Wizards — by prevention his first-round foes under his royal boot. The Wiz did their best to rough him up and beat him down, but he still averaged a near triple-double (29.8 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 7.7 APG). Can LeBron pull the sword from the stone against Boston? (Yeah, probably.)
The Boston defense. The league’s best regular season accumulation struggled, at times, to include Joe President and Josh Smith. Now they have to try and include LeBron. Yeah. Good phenomenon with that, guys. My suggestion would be stop everybody but LeBron. Even if he goes off for 50, the Celtics would still win, like, 98-57.
The LeBronnaires. Look, no man, no two men, no army of men or the undead can stop LeBron James. The question is…who else is feat to step up for the Cavs? Zydrunas Ilgauskas? sap Szczerbiak? Delonte West? Boobie? It’s gotta be one of those guys or nobody. My best guess? Nobody. But then again, Kendrick Perkins may be the only center in the NBA who moves more slowly than Ilgauskas, so you never know…
Kevin Garnett. He’s filling up with so much kinetic energy that he has officially become the first player since Alonzo Mourning in 2006 that I think might actually explode during a game. It’s called spontaneous human combustion, people, and it happens, okay? That’s science fact. Personally, I hope KG survives his own personal Chernobyl. Barring that, I can only hope one of the Boston fans saves me a piece.
Cockiness. The poorest alteration inflicted on the Celtics by the Hawks was Boston’s newfound vulnerability…be it real or perceived. As Cleveland’s Devin Brown put it: “They category of had that arrogance about them all season by success so some games that you were category of not wanting to face them. But after seeing what we saw, I think we’re ready to go.” Unless I’m criminal - and I’m never criminal - that quote is on a bulletin board in the Boston compartment room right now. Right next to a post-it note asking the question “Now who’s Devin Brown again?”
Paul Pierce versus LeBron. With all due respect to DeShawn Stevenson, the King’s first-round rival didn’t really stand much of a chance. He can take on a fancy nickname and acquire a worn beard, but that doesn’t attain him not DeShawn Stevenson, you know? But LeBron’s second-round rival…now, he’s on a lowercase more equal footing. What? You didn’t undergo the Pierce and saint were rivals? Oh hells to the yes. There’s some serious history there. Now let’s hope that Truth can do more than meet have hard fouls and trash talk.
Lookin’ over the shoulder. Barring the unforseen, the Pistons are feat to attain relatively short impact of the Magic. (How’s that for a reverse stat curse?) So, in theory, whoever is mitt standing after the Cavs-Celts series would be at a tactical separate if it went six or seven games, right? Both teams are feat to poverty to finish this soon. And you undergo Cleveland is feat to go balls-out to steal this first game in Boston.
Anderson Varejao. What can I say? Stuff like this cracks me up. I think it’s the hair.
