Alix Earle Goes Behind The Scenes Of Her SI Swimsuit Shoot, Julianne Hough Hits A Sauna & Chip Caray Delivers
It's Saturday and I know you've got things to do
Technically, we made it. It's day seven of eight in a row, and it's the last day that I'm filling in for Joe while he recharges on a well-deserved vacation.
He'll be back at the controls on Monday, and I'll be hitting Screencaps to finish off eight out of eight tomorrow at my normally scheduled time.
I don't know about you, but I had a great time despite it being a ton of work. It was well worth it. We fired up the grills for the grilling season and I hope that continues throughout the summer.
I want to see your meats. Send me whatever you toss on the grill throughout the week, or anything else you've got for that matter, and we'll navigate through the grilling season content on Sundays.
Let's get this Saturday started. We've got a few things to make our way through this morning.
The infamous "damaged beyond repair" pants from the Scottie Scheffler arrest
On Friday, pictures from the Louisville Metro Police Department of officer Bryan Gillis' infamous $80 pants that were reportedly damaged beyond repair and the injury he suffered during the Scottie Scheffler arrest surfaced.
They're both hilarious and add to the overall comedy surrounding the arrest.
It is true that the pants appear to be damaged beyond repair. As for the alleged injury suffered, I'll let you be the judge. Although, I will say my youngest has received much worse falling off of his scooter.
What a time to be alive.
Be careful with those post-surgery sneezes, you might blow your colon out…
Miss Alabama and Grilling
- Otis in Mobile writes:
Sean, nice work lately the content in "things I like" is definitely right in the ballpark of things I like.
1. Miss Alabama - As a resident of Alabama I first saw this earlier in the week on FB. Note that she is not the sanctioned "Miss Alabama" but instead the contestant in a National American Miss pageant. I did not even bother to google this because we both know that this is some made up organization that sponsors body positivity and probably an oath to pledge blind loyalty to the far left. I am very much a live and let live guy, but I think it is dumb to post this body type as a role model. In situations like this, I try to apply the law of opposites. Would they have been so quick to give her the crown if she had anorexia instead of obesity? Both eating disorders, so someone needs to convince me they are not two sides of the same coin.
2. Earlier this year we took a few days in North Alabama for my son's spring break. We were near a state park so we went to spend the day there. Mid afternoon we were deciding what to do next and saw a few of those old public park charcoal grills they have on a post in the ground and that was that. A quick trip to the Winn-Dixie to get a bag of matchlight charcoal, burgers, hot dogs, chips, buns, ketchup and mustard and it was on. No salt, no pepper, just hot fire and charcoal grates that had 50 years of seasoning on them. We grilled and ate right there at the pavilion and the smell was amazing and you could see the look of jealousy from every one that walked by. Some of the best burgers and dogs we have eaten in a long time. For any of the readers planning to do this, do NOT forget a spatula. Also, if my wife were to have dared tell me to put aluminum foil on those deliciously seasoned grates I might have divorced her on the spot.
SeanJo:
Thanks for reaching out. I knew once I saw that National American Miss, or whatever the actual title is, that this was one of those pageants in the very low ranks.
It's beyond insane, even for the lower ranks, if they're considering this competition a beauty pageant of any kind. Which they must not be. It must just be a chance to push body positivity, whatever that is.
When it comes to going raw on a grill in a public park, I'm with you. That's where the flavor is. As long as the grates aren't falling apart, have at it.
The burgers and dogs you tossed on the charcoal grill sound amazing.
There’s an app for that

Thanks, John, for offering up a way for Jim M to identify his garden mystery. I hope this gets him one step closer to getting to the bottom of whatever's going on in his neck of the woods.
St. Louis Cardinals Broadcaster's Comment About Female Fan Going Viral

Longtime sports broadcaster Chip Caray cut quite the promo for SeatGeek during Thursday night's game between the Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals. While there was a break in the action, the …
SeanJo:
Thanks for reaching out with this. I, too, saw Chip Caray going full Brent Musburger during the promo.
A random Rockies-Cardinals game on a Thursday night in June doesn't quite hit the same as a national championship game, but it's a great moment in sports nonetheless.
It's refreshing to see that there are broadcasters still willing to go there.
SC Content
- John from SD writes:
Everyone’s right, great job (not filling in), being the SC lead for this week! Content was awesome, IG posts have been amazing (and I criticized you a while ago when you started with SC for having some fuglies [wait, am I allowed to say that from a PC standpoint?])
You’ve definitely stepped up your game.
Memorial Day cookout: gas Weber grill pic: great eats, Italian sausage, hot Italian sausage, and chorizo. Wife said no hot dogs 🌭, (communist!haha).
Keep up the good work!
Follow up topic: Brooke Burke is back on the scene recently as a host on a show on the CW. Where does the SC community stand on the hotness meter of Brooke?
SeanJo:
Thanks a lot John from SD. What can I say? The extra swings in the cage have paid off. I made the adjustments and the work is showing up with on the field results.
As far as Brooke Burke goes, I know where I stand, but I'm curious to hear where the Screencaps community lands on the topic, so I'll keep the opinion to myself, for now.
Screencaps - Call to the Bullpen (bring out SeanJo)

That is awesome. Metallica / Yankees / Rivera = American Classic. Curious about your Yankees fan heritage?
Got a cool story since I'm a third generational Yankees fan too but it stems from my grandfather's WWII days. Since it is June 6th here goes as I'll be reminding my kids as well. Before shipping out to WWII my grandfather (from Utah) visited Yankee stadium. The park was closed but the groundskeeper let my grandfather and his friend Bill Beck into the stadium and even to the mound as gesture for their service before heading out. They were part of the first wave on Normandy as part of D-Day. Later on after being shot 3 times, that same friend carried my gpa out of a medical tent before it was blown up by German aircraft (Forest Gump / Lt. Dan style). Those two remained life long friends and huge Yankees fans their whole life. While in France and Europe they were frequently called the Yanks or Yankees but usually in a positive uplifting tone and as heroes. So my grandfather taught our family to love America and the Yankees for the above reasons. Great to see Outkick continue on the tradition of loving America and remembering and honoring those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. They don't make them like they used to!
Hope you enjoy some time away later this month! Take care.

SeanJo:
Incredible story Charles. Thanks for sending it over.
While my grandfather did serve, he did not storm the beaches at Normandy, and he didn't become a Yankees fan with an awesome visit to Yankee Stadium either, at least not that I'm aware of.
I've got family who came over from Ireland and settled in Pennsylvania. My grandfather became a Yankees fan growing up and passed down his love of the game of baseball and the Yankees to my dad, who passed it down to us.
That's it for this Saturday morning. Again, I had a great time this week. Thanks for all the support and let's keep the grilling season going on Sundays.
As always, the inbox is open. Send me what you've got cooking on your grill this week and whatever else you want to sean.joseph@outkick.com.
