“The U.S. just scored a stoppage time goal to go from missing the knockout round to winning the group. THAT TOTALLY IS SOMETHING THAT JUST OCCURRED. We are going to go out into the street and start randomly kissing people now.” – Will Leitch, New York Magazine

I think girls all over the world will back me up when I say that we dream about this kind of thing happening all the time, but never actually believe it will. So when it happens to someone else, we simultaneously want to be her and want to rip what we will tell everyone is a weave right off her head.
Last year, the Seattle Mariners were playing against the Oakland A’s in a game at Safeco Field. Watching from the bullpen, catcher Jason Phillips spotted a girl in the stands that he knew he just had to meet, but was having trouble working up the nerve (AND, there was kind of a game going on at the time…you know, your job!).

According to ESPN, Florida’s Miami-Dade county will have a new name come July 1. Call it Miami-WADE County, in honor of the Heat’s greatest player, Dwyane Wade, obviously.
In a unanimous vote on Tuesday, county commissioners decided on the week-long name change “in recognition of all that Dwyane Wade has done for the visibility, stature and national image,” of Miami-Dade. But as ESPN also reports, Wade becomes a free agent on July 1, and clearly this is all a ploy to keep him with the Heat. How can you not stay in a county named after you?
“It’s about who can come to Miami,” Wade told ESPN.com on Wednesday. “It’s about who do you trust, who can fit the organization, who best fits you as a player, things of that nature.” So this county name change is not going to cement your decision to stay or go? Shocker.
Here’s to hoping Miami-Wade/Miami-Dade sets a precedent for future county name changes. When I become rich and famous, I want Orange County, NY to become Orange You Glad Kelly Lived Here County, NY.
