Zap Zika
Lucia Donatelli, MD,
Chief, Bureau of Prevention, Protection, and Preparedness
Baltimore County Department of Health
With the Olympic Games upon us this summer, people all over the world prepare to celebrate athletic excellence. This year, Rio de Janeiro will carry the torch, but unfortunately the spread of Zika virus in many parts of Central America, South America and the Caribbean may dim the light.
Aedes mosquitos can be infected with the Zika virus if they bite a person with it. These infected mosquitos can then spread the virus to other people through bites. Many people who become infected with Zika never know it, while others may experience fever, rash, joint pain, and/or conjunctivitis (red eyes). These symptoms usually last for several days to a week. Even though they are mild and will go away with rest and fluids, pregnant women are at risk of passing it on to their unborn babies. Zika has been linked to a number of birth defects, including microcephaly (small head due to small brain).
When travelling this season, it's important to be aware of the areas with active transmission of Zika virus. Even in the continental US, where there is currently no active local Zika transmission by mosquitoes, mosquito control and protection are still extremely important to preventing mosquito bites and breeding opportunities. Mosquitoes can easily reproduce in small amounts of water, especially in containers found in your yard.
In order to prevent the spread of Zika virus, always remember to WRAP UP!
W: Wear long sleeved shirts, pants and hats.
R: Repair damaged doors and windows.
A: Always empty containers that hold water to avoid creating mosquito breeding sites.
P: Protect yourself with an EPA-registered insect repellent.
U: Use condoms or abstain from sexual activity if you are pregnant, or if your partner has been in a Zika infested area.
P: Pregnant women should avoid traveling to areas affected by Zika.
By following these simple steps, we can all do our part to Zap Zika!
To learn more about Zika, attend an upcoming
Community Chatat 6 p.m. on June 28 at the Baltimore County Department of Health or get the most up-to-date news on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website.

D/P/Pt was horrible. I loved HGSS, BW and B2W2 though. Very excited for XY
Yeah, they dropped a few new Pokemon instead of just 1/2.
I know how you feel, I lost interest after D/P/Pt, but HGSS wasn't too bad. Hopefully X/Y will be better than some of the recent games.
Plus, there was a LOT released, not just snippits. I'm really pleased.
I'm not that into Pokemon anymore, but I can imagine I will be when X&Y is released. I'm not a big trader, breeder, etc. anymore... X&Y could change that.
Yeah, I'm happy that more stuff was released recently.
Ha, that's good. And wow, I take forever to post, like 2-3 posts a week.
Probably. I went inactive in X&Y because no new info' was out for sooo loooonngg.

The most visible social scene in LA undeniably revolves around the high-end nightlife: the famous and exclusive bars and clubs in Los Angeles. The in-crowd is deeply intertwined with the entertainment industry, and nowhere is this more evident than in Hollywood, with its ever-present lines of stunning wannabe stars waiting outside the swanky clubs and lounges, and the snap-happy paparazzi waiting for short-skirted celebs to step out of their Escalades.
Hot one minute and cold the next, the LA bars and clubs can be as fickle as the A-listers who frequent them. To entice these leggy blonde starlets, each club attempts to outdo its competition with kitschy themes, ostentatious décor, impenetrable access, and enough idolatrous fawning to keep them coming back.
LA's pre-club scene is equally exclusive, as high-powered agents and producers talk shop at sceney Beverly Hills and Sunset Strip hotspots and bars with tight reservation-only policies and the steep price tags that come with them.
Yes, it pays to be famous, wealthy, and beautiful in LA's gilt-edged scene, and those with deep pockets and even deeper connections will find the tall, tanned, and beautiful just beyond the iron-clad velvet ropes, where one can dance with a Kardashian one minute and do shots with Jeremy Piven the next, or catch a glimpse of Hollywood dealmakers green-lighting the next hot movie franchise.
Although the Hollywood entertainment scene garners the most tabloid attention, the rest of LA's multifaceted nightlife is nothing to be scoffed at. With a variety of options stretching from the ocean to Downtown, Los Angeles offers inventive cocktail dens, speakeasy watering holes, club/lounge hybrids, Irish pubs, and lazy beachside bars.
In recent years, the mixology and craft beer scene has blown up in Downtown, Silver Lake, and Los Feliz, where trendsetting hipsters rub elbows with grizzled regulars over Dark & Stormys and Old Fashioneds, while beach bums, yuppies and divorcées congregate down by the water with a laid-back, anything-goes attitude that makes every day feel like a weekend.
Hitting a combination of all these types of venues in one night may require traveling across the city, but taking advantage of LA's less stereotypical offerings is well worth the effort.

My Labrador has had NatureDiet since a puppy. Only recently has she had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea. I knew it was the NatureDiet as when we changed her onto Royal Canin sensitivity control, she improved straight away. After 10 - 12 days, we re-introduced NatureDiet and she was ill again. I don't think I will feed her it again. I will ask my vet for an alternative.

What is a 'Compliance Officer'
A compliance officer is an employee whose responsibilities include ensuring that the company complies with its outside regulatory requirements and internal policies. A compliance officer may review and set standards for outside communications by requiring disclaimers in emails, or may examine facilities to ensure that they are accessible and safe. Compliance officers may also design or update internal policies to mitigate the risk of the company breaking laws and regulations, as well as lead internal audits of procedures.
BREAKING DOWN 'Compliance Officer'
Compliance officers are expected to provide an objective view of company policies. Influence by other employees, including management and executives, to overlook infractions may result in significant fines or even business closure. Larger companies typically have a Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to direct compliance-related activities.

Feelings of hopelessness are prospectively associated with increased risk of death, progression of atherosclerosis and other health outcomes. Places as well as people may promote a sense of hopelessness. We used the Chicago Community Adult Health Study to investigate whether feelings of hopelessness cluster at the neighborhood level. Random-intercept logistic models were used to examine associations of hopelessness with neighborhood conditions (physical disorder and decay, perceived violence and disorder, social cohesion) and census-based measures of neighborhood socioeconomic conditions (poverty, unemployment, % high school dropouts) from 1980-2000. Of the 3074 participants, 459 were categorized as experiencing hopelessness. Greater physical disorder and perceived disorder and a higher unemployment rate were associated with increased odds of hopelessness. Individuals' reports of hopelessness reflect physical, socioeconomic, and opportunity characteristics of their neighborhoods above and beyond their individual characteristics. Changing opportunity structures in a neighborhood may play a key role in reducing individuals' feelings of hopelessness. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

IHC Merwede successfully increased its orderbook in 2013 across the main sectors of its business: offshore and dredging. The company received almost € 1.8 billion worth of new orders in the past year. At the end of 2013, the order book was valued at over € 1.7 billion, which is the equivalent of a backlog of approximately two years.
IHC Merwede develops and builds innovative vessels, advanced equipment and life-cycle support services for the dredging, mining and offshore industries. These markets have been performing well, despite the global economic situation and the knock-on effect for the maritime industry.
In 2013, IHC Merwede achieved a revenue of €985 million (2012: €895 million) and a net profit of €56 million (2012: €37 million). The company is looking ahead to the remainder of 2014 with increasing confidence. Market developments The shipbuilding industry is characterized by a huge overcapacity in ships and shipyards around the world due to the ongoing economic uncertainty. As a result, there was an increased level of competition for IHC Merwede in 2013, with new entrants to the dredging and offshore sectors aiming to offset the decline in their traditional markets. However, IHC Merwede distinguishes itself with a consistent focus on delivering value to its customers. In the dredging market, new investments continue to be made selectively, and these are dependent on the latest regulations and the addition of new product groups. A positive factor is the growth of state-owned enterprises, which are autonomous in their decision-making in the face of global economic developments.
The current economic climate is also unfavorable for the start of full-scale developments in alternative extraction possibilities within the mining market. IHC Merwede remains active in the areas of nearshore/onshore mining and studies for deep-sea mining. It is expected that investments in equipment will be driven by changes in political and economic conditions. The offshore market continues to evolve. IHC Merwede profited from the sale of various vessels and equipment in 2013, including six pipelaying vessels to SapuraKencana and Subsea 7 – the company's largest ever order. It is expected that further investments – related to the Brazilian market – will not be curtailed, and IHC Merwede intends to build upon its strong and reliable position in this territory.
IHC Merwede's four main priorities – internationalization, growth, product and process development, and internal/external cooperation – remained the same for 2013 as a red thread through the company's strategy. The implementation of the One IHC Merwede program will encourage the standardization of tools and processes across all of IHC Merwede's business units to further improve efficiency within the company.
"We are delighted to confirm that IHC Merwede's order book has increased substantially over the past financial year," says IHC Merwede's CEO Bram Roelse. "This is due to the successful implementation of the group's long-term business strategy, especially in the dredging and offshore markets. It also ensures that we are in a strong position moving forward over a number of years and provides us with a stable platform for ongoing development on a global basis."

BASEBALL URBAN LEGEND: The first published baseball song pre-dates the Civil War!
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is now over one hundred years old. And yet, that's not even CLOSE to the oldest song about baseball!
Read on to see what was the first song ever published about baseball!
In the earliest days of baseball, teams were pretty much just based in New York. One of those teams was founded in the Niagara area by Jim Creighton. Polka were a very popular style of song during the 1850s and 1860s, so in 1858, the first year that the Niagara baseball club began to play, J. R. Blodgett composed and published the very first published song about baseball, "Baseball Polka."
Polkas about baseball were quite popular over the next decade or so. Here's one from 1867…
Isn't it amazing to think of a published baseball song pre-dating "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" by FIFTY YEARS?!

HOCKEY URBAN LEGEND: Angry Edmonton fans burned Chris Pronger's furniture after he moved away from Edmonton upon being traded.
Chris Pronger had a long career in the National Hockey League (NHL). He's still technically under contract with the Arizona Coyotes, although he has not played since 2011 due to severe concussion symptoms, and since he's 41, it is unlikely that he ever WILL play again, but I guess we'll find out someday. Anyhow, the six-time All-Star defenseman was such a great player that he actually won the league's Most Valuable Player award (called the Hart Trophy) in 2000, the first defenseman to win it since 1972!!
A star player for the Hartford Whalers and the St. Louis Blues, Pronger spent the majority of his career as a star in St. Louis. That was where he won his Hart Trophy. However, following the NHL labor dispute in 2005, a new salary cap system was put into place and the Blues could no longer afford Pronger. So they dealt him to the Edmonton Oilers. After signing a five-year contract with the Oilers, Pronger helped lead the Oilers to the Stanley Cup Finals in his first season with the team, where they lost the series in the seventh game.
Pronger caused some controversy, however, when he asked to be traded after the season ended.
As you might imagine, fans in Edmonton were quite stunned. They get this big star, he signs a long-term deal, he helps them get to the seventh game of the finals and then he demands to be traded?
Edmonton agreed to his trade request, and dealt him to the Anaheim Ducks (where he eventually led the Ducks to a Stanley Cup championship in his first season there, further turning the screws in Oiler fans' hearts).
Pronger spoke about the reaction of Oiler fans on Jim Rome's syndicated radio show.
"Yeah, there's obviously a few things that didn't set well with me, for instance, taking the furniture that I had in my house and burning it, and having a 'Burn Chris Pronger's Furniture Day,' that really did sit well with me very much. They burned my kid's crib and things like that. When you hear stories like that it doesn't sit well."
Did that actually happen?
While obviously Oiler fans were quite outraged, it does not appear as though they ever actually did what Pronger suggested they did.
According to the furniture rental company that rented Pronger his furniture while in Edmonton, "It never happened. We got it back in immaculate condition."
There were no reports in Edmonton of any such occurrence. It seems more likely that some local radio host must have made a joke about how they SHOULD do something like that and it made its way back to Pronger as they DID do that.
It does not appear as though it happened, though. It seems clear enough that I'm willing to go with a false here.

BASEBALL URBAN LEGEND: An owner correctly predicted that his stadium would be home to a World Series by 1926 – he just predicted the wrong team!
Guarantees and bold predictions are nothing new in sports and they really tend not to be remembered all that much (who really remembers Patrick Ewing guaranteeing that the Knicks would win Game 7 against the Pacers in 1995?). Really, unless the guarantees or bold predictions come TRUE, they're forgotten. But when they DO come true, then we have a different story.
That was the problem with Philip DeCatesby Ball – he made a correct prediction, but his correct prediction looked awful for him!
Ball purchased the St. Louis Browns in 1916.
Ball had previously owned a baseball team in St. Louis in the defunct Federal League.
He is the second man from the left in this photo of league owners.
The Browns were not a particularly good team, but they at least had some young talent. There was a chance that they could be good in the near future. However, one of Ball's early acts as owner would later come back to haunt his franchise – he allowed the St. Louis Cardinals to share the Browns' stadium, Sportsman's Park. The Cardinals then sold their stadium, Robison Field, and used that money to create a state-of-the-art farm system that soon led to the Cardinals having a plethora of young good talent.
In 1925, though, the teams did not look all that much apart. Heck, if you had to pick one team between the two for 1926, you might very well pick the Browns, who went 82-71 while the Cardinals went 77-76. In addition, the American League-leading team of 1925, the Washington Senators, had a lot of their team's fortunes resting on their two ace pitchers, Stan Coveleski and Walter Johnson. The former was 35 years old and the latter was 37, so there was reason to believe that the Senators might come back down to Earth in 1926 (and they DID, as they went 81-69 in 1926). Meanwhile, the National League's top team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had no glaring issue going into 1926.
So Ball felt that the time to strike for the public's attention was now. So after the 1925 season, he completely revitalized Sportsman's Park, adding 12,000 new seats in expanding the seat capacity from 18,500 to 30,500! The renovations cost half a million dollars, but Ball felt that they were worth it, especially, as he famously pronounced, since Sportsman's Park was going to host the World Series in 1926!
That's a fairly innocuous boast, but, again, the problem for Ball is that he wasn't specific enough – you see, Sportsman's Park DID host the World Series in 1926 – but it was the CARDINALS who played in it!
Yes, the Cardinals improved to go 89-65 while the Browns went the other direction, finishing 62-92, well behind the New York Yankees, who came out of nowhere (perhaps due to a new first baseman named Lou Gehrig) to win the American League. To add MORE insult to injury, the Cardinals defeated the favored Yankees (the series ended with Babe Ruth getting thrown out trying to steal second) in the World Series.
From that point on, St. Louis was a Cardinal town and by the 1950s, the Browns could not even manage to stay in St. Louis, as they closed up shop and moved to Baltimore to become the Baltimore Orioles.
Ball passed away in 1933, living long enough to see the Cardinals make it to FOUR World Series, winning half of them.

SOCCER/FOOTBALL URBAN LEGEND: The chances of Leicester City winning the English Premier League were 5,000 to 1.
The Leicester City Football Club (the "Foxes") shocked the sports world recently by winning the English Premier League this year, despite having never once winning the top honors in the Premier League or Division One (which was what the predecessor to the Premier League). Before winning the championship this year, their highest placing was second place once…in the 1928-29 Division One season!!
It's a remarkable achievement. People have been making a big deal out of the odds of them winning the championship. Gambling houses were paying out the victory on 5,000 to 1 odds. So if you bet a pound, you'd win 5,000 pounds. Thus, this is one of the greatest longshots in sports history.
However, the question then becomes, were their actual chances of them winning the title really that low?
The answer to that is a definitive no.
You see, there are only twenty teams that play in the Premier League, with the bottom teams every year being "relegated" or demoted to the secondary British football league, The Football League Championship (with the top teams of that league being promoted to the Premier League). Leicester City had only recently been promoted to the Premier League after winning the Football League Championship back in 2014 and had only barely avoided being relegated after the 2014-15 season. So the chances of Leicester City going from almost getting relegated to winning the whole thing were very low.
However, with just 20 teams, the chances of any one team winning the league should never be 5,000 to 1. That's just way too high. The actual chance were likely more like 1,000 to 1.
That, there, lies the trick. The four most famous clubs in the Premier League, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, pretty much always win. You'd have to go back to the 1994-95 season to see a year where a team other than those four actually won the Premier League. Thus, it just doesn't make sense for people to bet on the low level teams based on their ACTUAL odds. So what do bookkeepers do? They increase the odds to ridiculous proportions, in the hopes that people will be willing to bet money on the hopes of those incredibly long odds coming through.
Thus, they came up with 5,000 to 1 odds on Leicester City winning, and sure enough, they DID receive a number of bets based on those figures. To their detriment, of course, as bookkeepers are getting KILLED this year on those bets.
But still, the key piece of information to note is that Leicester City had much better chance of winning a title than 5,000 to 1. It's just that their much better chance were still a really, really low chance. They still pulled off a remarkable "against all odds" win (1,000 to 1 is still a staggering underdog).

BASEBALL URBAN LEGEND: A series of fortuitous events turned an 18-year-old bookkeeper who had never played organized baseball into a Hall of Famer.
With the fact that both Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, two of the best baseball players of the 1940s (or really any decade), hailed from California, it is somewhat easy to forget that in the early days of professional baseball, California was a bit of a no man's land. From the beginnings of professional baseball up through the first quarter of the 20th Century, baseball did not venture much further west than St. Louis. Of the first 39 inductees into the Hall of Fame, the furthest west any of them were born were a fellow we talked about last week, Grover Cleveland Alexander, who was born in the middle of Nebraska (two other players were born in Kansas and Texas, respectively, but both were on the far east sides of their states).
The first California-born player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame was the fortieth inductee, Frank Chance (of "Tinker to Evers to Chance" fame).
So the geographical odds were already against San Francisco native Harry Heilmann, and yet, through a series of fortuitous breaks that occurred when he was 18 years old (and working as a bookkeeper) Heilmann made his way from never playing organized baseball to being a professional ballplayer, then a Major Leaguer and, eventually, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Harry Heilmann was born in 1894 in San Francisco, California. He attended Sacred Heart High School (the same school that future Hall of Famer Joe Cronin later attended). Interestingly enough, Heilmann did not play baseball in high school. While there was a dearth of major league players from California, the sport was still quite popular in the state. In fact, Heilmann's older brother, Walter, was an acclaimed pitcher whose career (and life) was cut short when he died in a boating accident. I have seen conflicting reports on whether Heilmann chose not to play high school baseball or whether he just could did not make the team (shades of the story of Michael Jordan getting cut by his high school basketball team, a legend I've explored in the past here). Whatever the case may be, Heilmann played football, track and field and basketball (he was All-State as a basketball player) but not organized baseball (although he certainly played baseball for fun).
In 1913, Heilmann was almost 19 years old and he was working as a bookkeeper for the Mutual Biscuit Company in San Francisco when a former classmate from Sacred Heart asked Heilmann if he would fill in for him during a semi-pro game in Hanford, California (in the San Joaquin Valley). Often, this story mentions that the game was part of the San Joaquin Valley League, but I am not sure if that's absolutely true (the San Joaquin Valley League had a Hanford team, I just don't know if it was in operation in 1913), but suffice it to say that it was a semi-professional baseball game in Hanford, California. For the game, Heilmann was paid $10.
Unbeknownst to Heilmann when he agreed to fill-in was that that game would change his life forever.
You see, Heilmann won the game with an eleventh-inning double, and that (and presumably the rest of his play during the game) drew the interest of a scout from the Northwest League, who signed Heilmann to a professional contract to play for the Portland Beavers. Years later, Heilmann would recount that they treated him to a spaghetti dinner as a "signing bonus." The Northwest League was pretty much the lowest professional league you could be a part of at that point in time (it should not be confused with the Single-A Northwest League that exists to this day). You see, the Northwest League (now known as the Pacific Coast International League) was the minor leagues of the minor leagues. These Portland Beavers were the farm team for the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League which, of course, was itself a minor league for the Major Leagues. However, in the 1910s, the Pacific Coast League was the league in California.
So Heilmann began to play for the Portland Beavers, and his professional career got off to a rousing start with an 0 for 3 outing and an error at first base. By the end of the year, however, he hit over .300. Luckily, Fielder Jones (the president of the Northwest League) recommended Heilmann to Frank Lavin, owner of the Detroit Tigers. In September of 1913, the Tigers "drafted" Heilmann from the Beavers, paying a figure between $700 and $1,500.
Heilmann performed well for Detroit in Spring Training for the 1914 season, but during the year itself the 19 year old played pretty dreadfully. He hit .225 and, perhaps more importantly, played awful defense in the outfield (Heilmann was never the fastest fellow, eventually earning himself the nickname of "Slug," so the outfield was probably not the best place for him), including one remarkable game where he committed three errors in a single inning, including pretty much each of the three possible errors that an outfielder can commit (he fumbled a single, allowing the runner to reach second, he then overthrew the second baseman to allow the runner to reach third and later dropped a fly ball)!
Detroit made a deal with Heilmann's hometown San Francisco Seals, of the Pacific Coast League. The Tigers would release Heilmann to the Seals for the 1915 season under the condition that they would get him back after the season was through (and they promised not to recall him during the 1915 season).
Heilmann performed well for the Seals and was back in the Majors in 1916, playing all over the diamond (first base and all three outfield positions). Perhaps his most notable achievement that season was when he saved a young woman from drowning when the car her father was driving drove off of a cliff. Heilmann dove in and saved her, a heroic act that had to be even more inspiring knowing that his brother died from drowning.
Heilmann acquitted himself nicely as a hitter in 1916-1918, hitting between .276 and .282 all three years (he missed half of the 1918 season to World War I. He served on a submarine). In 1919, though, his career really began to turn around as he hit .320. Amazingly, though, his career really changed in 1921 when Heilmann's legendary teammate, Ty Cobb, became his manager (Cobb continued to play, as well). Despite being teammates for over five years before becoming manager of the Tigers, Cobb never gave Heilmann advice on hitting, even though Cobb had discovered numerous correctable flaws in Heilmann's hitting stance years earlier. Cobb would later claim that he did not feel right giving advice to a peer, but when he was the manager, that was his job, so he did so.
Whatever Cobb's motivations, the results paid off immediately. Heilmann hit .309 in 1920. In 1921, he hit .394!!! Heilmann's prowess surprised even Cobb, who came in second to Heilmann that season (and was not pleased about it). Not only was Heilmann hitting for average, but he was now hitting for power, as well, slugging over .600!
From 1921 through 1927, Heilmann hit a collective .380, including an astonishing .403 in 1923. From 1921 through 1927, Heilmann led the league in batting in each of the odd seasons, for four titles in total. Since Heilmann was under a series of two-year contracts, people, including Heilmann himself, used to joke that he would put in extra effort in his contract years, hence the higher averages. That was just a joke, of course, as Heilmann's "off" years were still amazing (again, he hit a collective .380 from 1921-1927).
The Tigers sold Heilmann to the Cincinnati Reds after the 1929 season, as he had begun to suffer from arthritis in both of his hands. He had one last great season for the Reds in 1930, hitting .335, before the arthritis was just too much for him and he skipped the 1931 season entirely. He tried a comeback in 1932, but he retired for good after hitting .258 in 15 games for the Reds.
Heilmann became a play-by-play announcer for the Tigers radio broadcasts from 1934 until his retirement in 1950, when lung cancer forced him to retire. His former teammate Cobb valiantly stumped for Heilmann to be elected to the Hall of Fame before he passed away, but he came up just short for election in 1951. He died in July of 1951. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in January of 1952, the sixty-first member of the Hall and only the second California native (heck, in between Chance and Heilmann there had only been two other players born west of St. Louis, and both just barely so).
A pretty amazing career for a guy who was a bookkeeper for a biscuit company before ever playing organized baseball, huh?

FOOTBALL URBAN LEGEND: The annual Governor's Cup game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston team from the AFC began due to a legal settlement.
In the early days of the existence of the American Football League, then a rival to the National Football League, there were many battles over college players. In fact, the existence of the AFL was, in many ways, one of the biggest boons to players' salaries in the history of professional football. Until the AFL came along, there was no way of truly demonstrating how much a given player was worth on the open market because there WASN'T an open market. Once the AFL came along, they were desperate for relevance, and the quickest way to get to relevance was to get star players. So the AFL paid through the nose for the best of the college graduates. As a result, salaries soared. One of the reasons the NFL was willing to merge with the AFL was that they couldn't afford to continue fighting with the AFL for players.
One of these players was Ralph Neely, the standout offensive tackle from the University of Oklahoma. The beginning of his professional career led to a great battle between the two pro teams from Texas, the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL and the Houston Oilers of the AFL.
In 1965, Neely was drafted in the second round of both the NFL Draft and the AFL Draft. In the NFL, he was drafted by the Baltimore Colts. Neely signed with the Houston Oilers in a deal that included an ownership stake in a gas station in Houston. Neely kept the deal quiet so that he would remain eligible to compete in the Gator Bowl during his Senior year (eventually the news got out and he was ruled ineligible for the game). During this time, the Cowboys made a trade with the Colts for Neely's rights. The Arkansas native Neely was okay with choosing Houston over the Baltimore Colts, but now that the nearby Dallas Cowboys were interested, things were different. So Neely returned the Oilers' check and signed with the Cowboys. As you might imagine, the Oilers were none too pleased about this particular turn of events, so they sued the Cowboys (presumably tortious interference with contractual relations).
The case dragged on into 1966, even as Neely began playing for the Cowboys in 1965, where he was a starter at right tackle right of the bat (a position he played for five seasons, plus eight more at left tackle) as he made the NFL All-Rookie team.
When the AFL/NFL merger was being negotiated in 1966, one of the outstanding matters was the lawsuit between the Oilers and the Cowboys. The Cowboys were ordered to settle the matter so that the merger could be completed. They sent three draft picks and cash to the Oilers and also agreed to begin to play a yearly game against the Oilers starting in 1967. These games became known as The Governor's Cup. They took place in the preseason unless the two teams happened to be scheduled against each other during the regular season. The Governor's Cup continued until the Oilers moved to Tennessee in 1997. A number of notable Governor's Cup games were played, including games in Tokyo, Japan as well as Mexico City, Mexico.
The Cowboys won 18 of the 31 Governor's Cup games.
In 2002, the expansion Houston Texans brought professional football back to Houston. The Texans and the Cowboys picked up the Governor's Cup tradition and played the game every year except the lockout-shortened 2011 season. The Cowboys have a 7-5 advantage in Governor's Cup games against the Texans (4-4 in preseason games and 3-1 in regular season games).

BASEBALL URBAN LEGEND: A top closer had his career de-railed by an attempt to show how he could dunk.
Cecil Upshaw was a major part of the success of the 1969 Atlanta Braves, who made it to the playoffs in 1969 only to lose to the "Miracle Mets." The 26-year-old Upshaw was a dominant closer for the Braves, back in the days that a closer was more of a "fireman" than a traditional "enter the game in the ninth inning up three runs" pitcher. He threw 105 innings with a 2.91 ERA and 27 saves. This followed his 1968 campaign where he put up similar numbers (in 1967, he did much of the same, but in limited time as it was his rookie season). He looked to become a major part of the Braves' future.
Then came 1970.
Upshaw was 6 foot 6 inches tall and an adept basketball player. He also prided himself in his ability to dunk a basketball. Well, during Spring Training in 1970 he was walking with a few fellow Braves pitchers when he talking about his dunking proficiency. I presume someone doubted his abilities (or perhaps he just wanted to demonstrate for the heck of it), so he showed how high he could jump by jumping up to grab a nearby awning. However, what he did not expect was for his wedding ring to catch on a protrusion on the awning – thus when he came down, he almost tore his ring finger off completely.
Luckily, the finger was saved, but Upshaw missed the entire season. Here he is after the fact…
Upshaw returned in 1971 and was actually pretty decent, but clearly something was missing. He was out of baseball by 1976.

SOCCER/FOOTBALL URBAN LEGEND: A player got a yellow card for faking an injury – however, the player was DEAD!
Something that football often gets criticized for is the way that players attempt to draw fouls on each other by acting as though simple contact (that happens as a matter-of-fact in a game of football) was egregious contact. You know, someone bumps a player and the said player goes flying as if he were just hit by a truck.
The common term for it is "flopping" and while it is a problem in the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League, it is most associated with the world of association football.
It is seen as such a problem that they even came up with rules against it.
Soccer uses a "yellow card" system, where every time an egregious rule violation takes place the referee gives the player a "yellow card."
If you get two yellow cards, you are then given a red card and you are ejected from the game and your team must play with one less player (in other words, unlike a basketball player who has been ejected from the game, you cannot substitute a replacement for the ejected player).
Here's England star player Wayne Rooney getting a yellow card…
Here are the things you can give a yellow card for…
1. Unsporting behaviour
2. Dissent by word or action
3. Persistently infringing the laws of the game
4. Delaying the restart of play
5. Failing to respect the required distance of a corner kick or free kick
6. Entering or re-entering the field of play without the referee's permission
7. Deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee's permission
"Flopping" is specifically codified under rule 1. However, it's one thing to SAY that you're going to punish people for flopping and it's a whole other thing to actually CALL it, as it can often be quite difficult to determine whether a player legitimately fell or is just pretending to be hurt.
That uncertainty was at play in May of 2010 in a fifth division match between Eastern European club Mladost FC and their local rival team, Hrvatski Sokol.
Before the game, the referees specifically warned the players that they would be calling penalties on what they deemed as play-acting.
Near the end of the first half, Mladost defender Goran Tunjic (32 years old) collapsed to the ground.
With no obvious foul, the referee quickly hit him with a yellow card for flopping (or "diving," as some people call it).
However, the ref soon realized his error, as you see, Tunjic was DEAD!
He had suffered a massive heart attack during the game and when he collapsed, it was due to that attack and that he died right there on the pitch.
Club officials tried to revive him, but it was too late.
Pretty darn awful.

FOOTBALL URBAN LEGEND: The coach of Harvard once strangled a live bulldog to death to motivate his team to defeat the Yale Bulldogs.
Percy Haughton was, without a doubt, the most successful football coach in the history of Harvard Crimson football.
One of the first professional head coaches (initially the job was either done by seniors or volunteers), Haughton (a former Harvard football player himself) led the team to a 72-7 record (with 5 ties) in his nine seasons as head coach of the Crimson. The team also claimed three national championships during his tenure. A major factor by Harvard (and perhaps more importantly, the boosters of the team) in deciding to bring in Haughton was Harvard's record against Yale in the end of the year game (which eventually became referred to as simply "The Game") the two rival schools had played since 1875 (with some gaps, like when The Game has become so violent that it was canceled for two years. Check out this old Football Urban Legend for a similar situation in the Army-Navy game of the same era). In the 28 games that they had played prior to the 1908 season, Yale had won 21 of them, including the last six (all shutouts!). So Haughton had a strong desire to defeat the Yale Bulldogs in the 1908 match, not just because of the pressure from his new position but because he, himself (as a Harvard alum) hated the Elis as much as anyone. The legend goes that Haughton actually strangled a live bulldog before the game in front of his players to motivate them to victory. They did, in fact, win the game 4-0 (field goals counted for 4 points back then) and the Harvard/Yale rivalry would no longer be a one-sided one from then on (they have basically split the series since 1908). It is one of the most famous pieces of motivation in college football history (right up there with "Win one for the Gipper!"). But is it true?
First off, just in terms of common sense, it makes no sense for a Harvard football coach to actually strange a live bulldog to death in 1908. It's not like there wasn't the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) back then – there was. Views of acceptable treatment of animals have certainly changed in the last century, but not to the point where anyone would not have found such behavior highly deranged at the time. Especially a strict disciplinarian like Percy Haughton. The man certainly worked his players hard and expected a lot from them, but he was not an actively cruel man. So such an act would be grossly out of character.
More importantly, while researching newspaper accounts of the game (and the Harvard season) that year, I found nothing mentioned of the act. Furthermore, in examining literature about Harvard from the 1910s and the 1920s (including alumni magazines), while Haughton was written about often back then (he was, after all, a tremendously successful coach), nothing is mentioned in any of the pieces about him strangling the dog. Back in the early 1990s, Tim Bonang, who worked for Harvard's sports information department at the time, also researched this matter. I trust Bonang had access to a considerably larger amount of press clippings and literature about Harvard that I could get my hands on (or rather, my cursor on), and Bonang, too, discovered no mention of the incident.
While I found nothing confirming the incident, I did come across a number of later accounts suggesting that Haughton had created a Bulldog doll (presumably out of Papier-mâché), and he had strangled THAT. In addition, that he had attached the doll to his car and drove around town dragging the doll. In an excellent historical study on the Harvard/Yale rivalry a few years back, John Powers of the Boston Globe mentioned the doll theory.
I find the doll theory to be such a clear choice that I feel confident stating it to be the truth.
So I'm willing to go with the legend as…
STATUS: False
Thanks to Tim Bonang for his research, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel for posting Bonang's research in a column a few years back and John Powers for his research.
Haughton, by the way, left Harvard to enlist in the military during World War I. When he returned, he joined the business world before he was lured back to the world of coaching by Columbia, who offered him a staggering $20,000 to coach their football team in 1923. Halfway into his second season, with the team 4-1, Haughton grew ill on the field and suddenly died. He was only 48 years old. He was posthumously inducted in to the College Football Hall of Fame with the inaugural group of coaches in 1951.

BASEBALL URBAN LEGEND: Grover Cleveland Alexander was drunk and/or asleep in the bullpen when he was called out to face Tony Lazerri in the 7th inning of Game 7 of the 1926 World Series.
Modern baseball fans certainly recall the heroics of Jack Morris pitching a 10-inning shutout in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series and Randy Johnson pitching an inning and a third of scoreless relief on one day's rest in Game 7 of the 2001 World Series and Madison Bumgarner pitching five innings of scoreless relief on two days' rest in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series. Well, right up there in the annals of World Series pitching heroics is Grover Cleveland Alexander's performance in the 1926 World Series.
The 39-year-old Alexander had joined the Cardinals earlier in 1926 after being cut by the Chicago Cubs (Alexander was still a pretty productive pitcher for a bad Cubs team, but he did not get along with the manager of the Cubs and the thought was that the next good Cubs team likely would not have Alexander on it due to his age, so why not just cut ties with him now?) and had won Game 2 of the '26 Series against the New York Yankees. In Game 6 of the Series, with the Cardinals trailing 3 games to 2, Alexander pitching nine innings in a 10-2 Cardinal victory.
Now, in Game 7, played the very next day, the Cardinals were clinging to a 3-2 lead when the Yankees loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh inning with future Hall of Famer Tony Lazzeri (the Yankees' #6 hitter) at bat with two outs. Cardinals player/manager Rogers Hornsby went to Alexander. Alexander came in and struck Lazzeri out. Alexander then proceeded to retire the Yankees over the next two innings, with the last out famously coming on an attempted steal of second base by Babe Ruth, for a Cardinals World Series victory.
Great story, no? Well, over the years, the story has almost always included the extra "fact" that Alexander, figuring he was not going to be pitching Game 7, spent the night of Game 6 drinking so much that by Game 7 he was dozing off in the bullpen with a bottle of whiskey in his pocket when he was roused to go save the Cardinals' season. Supposedly, Hornsby met him in left field as he entered from the bullpen to see if he could even see straight, noted that he was hammered but figured that a drunk Alexander was better than a sober anyone else, so stuck with the future Hall of Famer. Even better story, right?
But is is true?
For almost all of it, definitely not. For some of it, I still lean towards false. Read on to find out why!
Grover Cleveland Alexander (also known as Pete Alexander) was one of the greatest pitchers of all-time, and has the third-most wins in the history of Major League Baseball. Alexander was drafted during World War I and spent much of 1918 in France as a sergeant with the 342nd field artillery. Alexander certainly drank alcohol before the war, but after the war he became an extremely heavy drinker as he suffered from severe post traumatic stress and drinking was the only thing that would calm him down. Combined with hearing loss and eplietic seizures, Alexander was not in great shape throughout the 1920s. And yet he still managed to have some dominant years for the Chicago Cubs (who had acquired him from the Philadelphia Phillies right before Alexander was drafted). By the time he came to St. Louis, though, Alexander was a bit of a mess due to his constant drinking.
The legacy of the Alexander Game 7 story mostly comes down to the fact that Bob O'Farrell, Alexander's catcher in St. Louis in 1926, did not die until 1988 and was quite open when it came to telling stories about the old days. O'Farrell's version of the story is the one that most folks rely on when it comes to what happened that day. However, for one thing, even O'Farrell never alleged that Alexander did not know that he could be pitching in Game 7. When pitchers now are willing to pitch on short rest to help their teams, you better believe that pitchers back in 1926 were ready. So the notion that Alexander drank on the night of Game 6 because he thought he would not have to pitch the next day doesn't make any sense, and, again, not even O'Farrell has asserted that aspect of the tale.
For the rest of the story, while O'Farrell is on one side of the tale (O'Farrell told the story in a few places, but most famously in Lawrence Ritter's legendary 1966 baseball tome The Glory of Their Times: The Story Of The Early Days Of Baseball Told By The Men Who Played It i), there are two other explicit accounts of the game in the baseball annals. One is from Rogers Hornsby, who gave a detailed account of the game to Francis Stann in a Washington Star article that was later reprinted in a 1953 issue of Baseball Digest. Another is third baseman Les Bell, who gave his take on the game to baseball historian Donald Honig for a 1978 issue of Sports Illustrated. Now do note that Honig worked with Ritter on a couple of baseball books, so it is not like Honig is a guy who is trying to go out of his way to discredit Ritter.
What is astonishing is how closely attuned Hornsby and Bell's stories are – they are practically identical, and both men make it clear that Alexander was not sleeping when he was summoned to pitch in Game 7, that he knew he might be needed to pitch in Game 7 (Hornsby announced it in front of the whole team) and that Alexander was not out getting wasted all of the previous night. Bell notes seeing Alexander the night before at the hotel. Hornsby goes into further detail, claiming that he and a Cardinals coach Bill Killefer actually went to Alexander's room the night before Game 7 to search it for alcohol and, after finding a few stashed bottles, took them with them.
All three men agree that Alexander told Hornsby that he was not going to warm up in the bullpen, that he would warm up on the mound (this was typical behavior for Alexander). They differ, perhaps, on whether Alexander said this because he wanted to sleep off his hangover until the last possible moment. Flint Rhem, a fellow Cardinals pitcher, claimed that Alexander did sleep off the whole game with a bottle of whiskey in his pocket. The Commissioner of Baseball, Ford Frick, years later stated that he saw Alexander during the game awake and paying attention to the game. For what it is worth, Alexander himself claimed he was awake and sober during the game. Hornsby did say later in a memoir that he would rather have a drunk Alexander than a sober anyone else in that moment. That line is true. However, Hornsby said in the same memoir (as well as in the Baseball Digest piece) that Alexander was not drunk and that he was wide awake and sober when he came in to pitch Game 7. Also, all accounts of the game acknowledge that Hornsby did not leave the infield to talk to Alexander – he waited for Alexander to reach the infield before saying anything to him. Do note that in Murray Polnar's great Branch Rickey biography he quotes Rickey as saying Hornsby told him he wasn't sure if Alexander was drunk or not.
So what really happened that day? Was Alexander really sleeping in the bullpen? Was he drunk? I find it hard to believe that he did not have something to drink the night before (and Bell acknowledged that he couldn't rightfully say that Alexander was dry the previous night), and would I be shocked if he had something to drink the day of the game? Of course not. However, I think Bell and Hornsby's first-hand accounts (as opposed to Branch Rickey decades later saying what Hornsby told him) are just so in tune that when you combine them with Alexander himself saying he was not drunk or sleeping and with the commissioner of baseball saying he was not sleeping and with O'Farrell's story occasionally changing (sometimes it was "he was sleeping" while occasionally it would be just "feeling the effects of the night before") I am willing to go with an overall false to the idea that Alexander was sleeping in the bullpen when he was roused to go face Tony Lazzeri with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of Game 7 of the 1926 World Series.
