    God I wish that were provably, demonstrably true.

    C'mon, dude's a youth football coaching legend, according to his Twitter profile.

    Inclined to think it's a parody account, but Poe's Law.

    Shit. I've run into this guy in my former life as a sports journalist. This part about him is absolutely true and also applies to members of the media:

    I am a die-hard UGA football fan. While I did not attend school there (dropped out of Perimeter after three semesters when I realized college was a Ponzi scheme), no fan does more for the team’s success. I break down film of each game and tweet recommendations at the coaching staff and players. I have no qualms about barking at you, your children, or your aging grandparents if I see you wearing another school’s colors. I also pull out all the stops when it comes to recruiting, tweeting at or sending Facebook messages to recruits, their family members, or their friends. Some call it over the top - I call it being "all in."

    I don't know the context of these teams and their histories, nor the friendship between batter and pitcher, but I think I'm going to disagree with the majority here. Making it to the state championships is a often a big accomplishment and that's a time for a team to be celebrating together and presumably a pitcher is, or should be, a big part of that camaraderie.

    If it was me, I think I go to my teammates first and greet my friend on the other side later, particularly since it was a six- or seven-run spread — it wasn't like the strikeout was going to shatter the kid that lost, and I'm sure he has teammates of his own that could pick him up. I'm thinking the batter would have understood all too well the contributions his friend made to his team and would not have thought any less of him for celebrating his win.

    It's a parody. From the looks of it, an awesome one.

    Definitely awesome.

    "But my successes are not limited to the football field. As the supervisor for a home entertainment installation crew, I rake in $29.35/hr plus bennies and a free cell phone. This allows me to live in an apartment complex with a pool, computer lab, and passcode-protected security gate. I also project an image of success. It is rare to find me not wearing a pair of freshly-pressed black jeans, wraparound Oakley sunglasses (even indoors), 7-8 pumps of Tim McGraw Southern Blend cologne, and, of course, a determined look on my face. I spend thousands of dollars a year at Beef O'Brady's, where I watch most major sporting events with my DC while consuming Miller Lite, Fireball shots, and steak nachos."

    The original video is nice but by far the best part of this thread is Three Year Letterman. That looks outstanding.
