Hi-yo, Shingles! Away!
A “world famous” Budweiser Clydesdale has a new name: Tony La Russa.
Anheuser-Busch announced on Sunday the naming of one of its famous horses after La Russa, the longtime St. Louis Cardinals manager who led his team through an epic playoff run this fall.
“Tony is one of the great managers in the long and rich history of Major League Baseball,” said Dave Peacock, president, Anheuser-Busch. “He’s delivered two championships and countless memories to an entire generation of Cardinals fans. We felt it was time to recognize Tony for his lasting contributions to baseball in our hometown.”

1. cardsfanboyThat's going out on top.
Bill Walsh retired from the NFL after winning his 3rd Super Bowl. He later coached Stanford for the 2nd time but, of course, never again in the NFL.
Holy crap, he was. He looks like he's in his late 60s in photographs. People age much differently than they used to.
By comparison, George Clooney is 50.
What? Do you want to kill irony? It's all I have left!
Just be sure the horse has a designated driver at all times.
You think that's bad? Until a few weeks ago, they were going to name it after Dan McLaughlin.
Must be all the junk food and lack of physical activity.
