Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- The story behind the greatest baseball card ever made

- Government surveillance is out of hand and they want to make it worse

-  Getting to know Chrysippus - the second founder of Stoicism

- Turns out that Division 1 colleges have been paying "student athletes" "legally" since January 2015. "And that sums up the Principle of Amateurism pretty well. Not worth a damn to begin with."

- Love a story with a happy ending

- From the (disturbed?) mind of coach Mike Leach

Chrysippus

Ancient Greek philosopher Chrysippus died of laughter. He got his donkey drunk and then couldn't stop laughing while watching the donkey trying to eat figs. 

That was the ancient equivalent of watching drunk David Hasselhoff eat a cheeseburger I guess.
