Tracy Morgan told Complex magazine he talked to God, and God talked to him, after his 2014 accident, where he nearly lost his life.  "You're never going to be normal after you go through something like that," said Morgan.  He is back to work now, healthy, up and at it.  And talking to God?  Never a bad idea.    story

Scary.  Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker took a line drive to the head, Sunday.  105 mph off the bat, it struck him nearly square on the skull.  He walked off the field, and is being closely monitored.  Possibly having escaped serious injury.  "It just gives you that feeling where you have a pit in your stomach," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.    news

There is such a thing as Major League Eating - and I mean beyond the hot dog affairs.  Professional competitive food eaters exist.  For instance, days ago Gideon 'The Truth' Oji kicked major kale butt.  He's champion of the World's First Kale Eating Contest.   (Should you feel like preparing for next year - work yourself up to over twenty-five and a half bowls.)   " 'I'm a health and fitness professional, and I've been on the road eating chicken, hot dogs, and all-American foods,' Oji said after hoisting the trophy."    Healthy.  Riiigght.  news
