Instagram Star Sommer Ray Is Having A Big Summer, Babe Ruth Rookie Card Sets A Record & Ole Miss Fans Set A Record That May Never Be Broken
A reader making a transition needs my advice
• Ryan Mc., who has been in the college basketball coaching world for the last decade, is looking to transition into the world of sports gambling and sports podcasting.
He writes:
1) What was your path that got you to where you are with OutKick today?
2) What advice do you have for someone trying to transition into the sports gambling and content creation industries?
3) Where do you see the industry going over the next 5-10 years?
I'll keep this brief on these topics because we could be here all day on these questions.
Now, fire away with questions on things that I need to expand on.

• Listen, as you guys know, I don't exactly want Screencaps to be infiltrated by high levels of politics because a vast majority of political discussions infuriate me, but we have this thing called inflation that is ravaging this country and this bozo goes on CNN and can't even spew a talking point that makes sense.
Hey toots, tell me how you're going to lower gas prices. Nothing. Pure gibberish. And these are the politicians who never want to lose control of their power. Makes you wonder why, right?
SAY SOMETHING THAT MAKES SOME SENSE EVEN IF IT'S 'F-YOU, WE WANT GAS PRICES HIGH AF SO YOU HAVE TO BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR.'

Joe, this is the best clip I've ever seen that encapsulates the very essence of the T-ball experience. It begins with the home plate guy getting a bat to the shins, and then escalates to complete bedlam from there. Dog piles, wrong-way running, coaches yelling and chasing, pouting, a kid getting drilled in the face (and going down like a pro soccer player), plus off-field shenanigans. I had to watch this about 10 times to catch everything that happens in less than a minute!! Please share with our fellow Screencappers, and WELCOME BACK!!
Thank you for sending this in, Dana. It reminds me of my 5-year-olds first game this season when he took off for third base before crossing the field and running to first base.
So pure.
Refinishing metal patio furniture
• Reagan B. writes:
I always enjoy the advice from real people on things I can easily do myself so I thought I would now try to give back. Refinishing most metal patio furniture is a breeze. We just did ours after replacing a few boards and staining the deck. (The lighter colored boards are the new and need to dry out before I stain). We pressure washed the furniture and then used a random orbit sander with 80 grit to knock the worst of the rust off, then sprayed them back off, allowed them to dry and spray painted with the Ace version of Rustoleum. For 8 chairs, the dining table and the end table, the prep time took no more than an hour and the spray time was half that. Used 5 cans before running out. Got the other end table in the photo and 2 more chairs to go.

Arkie phrase for Mississippi
• Bill H. writes:
There is a phrase often uttered here in Arkansas, "Thank God for Mississippi" because if it weren't for them the dragging up last in categories like yearly income, reading comprehension, medical care, etc., then Arkansas would be last!Mississippi's case before SCOTUS got the Roe invalidated and case tossed back to the states. "Thank God for Mississippi" takes on a different meaning in this case.Gee, with all of the howling, bleating and threats to peace by those opposing the SCOTUS ruling, you would think someone had died.
Sport with the worst replay
• Chad R. writes:
I hope you are doing well. I was just curious what sport do you think has the worst instant replay system? Given the amount it's overused and usually followed by lengthy delays, I'd vote for NCAA College Basketball. (Note: I haven't watched the NBA in over 25 years.) Thanks again.
This is the easiest question of the week. The answer is simple: MLB.
I absolutely hate it. The game slows to a crawl, the vibe in big situations is completely lost, and one day we'll lose the fun of managers screaming at umpires and kicking dirt.
And that should be enough for this morning. We're so close to those July 4th weekend burgers that I'm starting to taste them. Let's finish the week strong and then get after it with some half-sticks of dynamite and roman candles.
Have a great day across this incredible country. Do your best to stay out of mindless arguments. Head down. Focus!
