There are moments that you just cherish and thank God that you were able to experience them. This was one of them. Standing on the set of the Borg Ship, watching Patrick Stewart as Jean Luc Picard say goodbye to his friends. To watch it on the screen is so heartfelt, to be there and see this wonderful actor say these words to his friends it just hit harder. There was so much weight on the set and those weren't just amazing lines that Terry had wrote, they felt real. It was the words said between friends that had been on a long journey together, that was coming to a close. You will ALWAYS be our Captain. You did everything right.

He’ll never know this but Patrick Stewart showed countless boys how to be men. He showed that strength didn't have to mean intimidation, that intelligence should come with humility, and that you could - and should - stand up for what was right even when it cost you something.

“Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived.” — Patrick Stewart as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard
Legendary actor Sir Patrick Stewart, best known for his work in the "Star Trek" and "X-Men" franchises and his prolific award-winning stage career, has died at 86 years old, his spokesperson confirmed.
Stewart died at home on Wednesday, with his wife Sunny at his side, a post on his social media channels said. His death followed "a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy Body Dementia," the post said.

3 seasons ago, the Washington Huskies made the CFP Final
2 seasons ago, the Seattle SuperSonics won the NBA Championship
Last season, the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl
Tonight, the Seattle Pilots won the World Series
What a run for Seattle sports!

The team in baseball’s smallest market has been competitive every season for a decade. No punting. No bridge years. No rebuilds. Just a desire to perpetually win.
And now, that team has its championship, and in a season where they were the unquestioned best in baseball.

If Milwaukee sweeps tomorrow night they've got a claim to one of the greatest postseason runs of all time. Would be 11-1 in the playoffs, took down a screaming hot SD team before dogwalking 100 win LA and 98 win TB. So impressive
So, I've just read "Time Runs Out" and "Secret Wars," and other than a few cool moments, I don't get the hype at all, and I'm concerned that trying to adapt them into two movies is going to be a disaster.

Good time to again pine for a return of Steelers white pants. Useful tool in the wardrobe.

The sickening stories keeping coming in…😢😢😢
SHAME ON YOU, @StubHub.
Imagine being a kid, a HUGE @Brewers fan, and finding out you’re going to see your team play in the WORLD SERIES! ⚾️💙💛
The excitement. The anticipation. The memories you’re already imagining making.
Now imagine having that excitement ripped away because a company sold your 3 tickets that you bought, that they apparently can’t deliver.
That’s exactly what we’re dealing with right now.
We purchased THREE tickets to the Milwaukee Brewers World Series for Game 1 last Tuesday(13th) through StubHub. We selected our section, our row, paid for our tickets, and received our order confirmation.
Everything was supposed to be set.
Then suddenly, StubHub tells us they’re “searching for replacement options” because they can’t provide the tickets we purchased.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
How does a company accept someone’s hard earned money, confirm a purchase, and then turn around and say they can’t fulfill it?!
And their solution? We can request a refund while they continue looking for tickets.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT THE MONEY.
It’s about the experience. It’s about the memories. It’s about the excitement of a kid, his dad, and grandpa, who thought they were going to watch their favorite baseball team play on the biggest stage in baseball.
Look at the first picture. That’s the disappointment you’re creating, StubHub.
A refund doesn’t replace that moment.
And here’s what really bothers me…
StubHub advertises a “FanProtect Guarantee” and tells customers their orders are “100% guaranteed.”
Guaranteed WHAT, exactly?!
Because from where we’re sitting, that guarantee doesn’t feel worth much when you can’t deliver the tickets you sold us.
We did everything right. We purchased through a major ticket marketplace. We trusted the confirmation. We trusted the guarantee.
Now it’s time for StubHub to make it right.
We aren’t asking for anything extra. We want the three tickets we paid for, or comparable or better seats together, at no additional cost.
Stubhub…DO BETTER.
Please SHARE this. Not just for us, but for every fan who has trusted a ticket company with an experience that means so much more than the price of admission.
