Rookie Season Quotes

There's nobody on the job, nobody with a badge I respect more than you." - Eve "You never were a rookie," he told her in a voice roughened with emotion. "So I saw good, solid cop the minute I laid eyes on you. I gave you a hell of a foundation, kid, a lot of seasoning and pushed you hard because I knew you could take it. You put yourself here. And I'm proud." - Feeney

Oh this young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, well, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle... Ogie Ogilthorpe!

In spring training prior to his 1995 rookie season, Chipper was already so confident in who he was as a player that he famously deadpanned to veteran slugger Fred McGriff, after the Crime Dog grounded into an inning-ending double play, these two words: “Rally killer.” His confidence carried over to the field, just as it had since he began playing as a kid—he batted .265, and he led all rookies with 23 home runs, 87 runs, and 86 RBIs. Hideo Nomo was Rookie of the Year for the Dodgers, but Chipper and the Braves were World Champions.

Now that the hockey season is underway, life is hectic as fuck. Practice is brutal, and our schedule is exhausting. Jamie’s my rock, though. He comes to all my home games, and when I drag my tired self home from the airport after an away game, he’s waiting there to rub my shoulders, or shove food down my throat, or screw me until I can’t see straight. Our apartment is my safe place, my haven. I can’t even believe I considered trying to make it through my rookie season without him. It’s easy to figure out where he got that nurturing gene from, because his mom has been fussing over me all day.

my cat is now my best friend and closest confidante, and I really don’t want him to be pissed at me. He’s the only toxic man I’m willing to put up with.

BEYOND THE GAME In 2007 some of the Colorado Rockies’ best action took place off the field. The Rocks certainly boasted some game-related highlights in ’07: There was rookie shortstop Troy Tulowitzki turning the major league’s thirteenth unassisted triple play on April 29, and the team as a whole made an amazing late-season push to reach the playoffs. Colorado won 13 of its final 14 games to force a one-game wild card tiebreaker with San Diego, winning that game 9–8 after scoring three runs in the bottom of the thirteenth inning. Marching into the postseason, the Rockies won their first-ever playoff series, steamrolling the Phillies three games to none. But away from the cheering crowds and television cameras, Rockies players turned in a classic performance just ahead of their National League Division Series sweep. They voted to include Amanda Coolbaugh and her two young sons in Colorado’s postseason financial take. Who was Amanda Coolbaugh? She was the widow of former big-leaguer Mike Coolbaugh, a coach in the Rockies’ minor league organization who was killed by a screaming line drive while coaching first base on July 22. Colorado players voted a full playoff share—potentially worth hundreds of thousands of dollars—to the grieving young family. Widows and orphans hold a special place in God’s heart, too. Several times in the Old Testament, God reminded the ancient Jews of His concern for the powerless—and urged His people to follow suit: “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow” (Isaiah 1:17). Some things go way beyond the game of baseball. Will you?

Calling Phoebe loud and obnoxious and gay ignores all her layers and contradictions. That’s Grace’s issue with fame—people take you at face value. Nobody bothers to look for the person beneath the brand. To most people, Grace isn’t a person; she’s a soccer player. Even to her family—they come visit for the first game of the season. Her dad calls after every game. She’s used to it by now, but that doesn’t mean it’s not frustrating. It’s absurd to her that Matthews is talking about herself like a brand, like that’s a good thing. But then, she’s a rookie; she doesn’t know fame yet.

Jake crosses his arms over his chest. “First game of our rookie season, seven minutes into the first period, Marchand checked Cay into the boards from behind, took him down to the ice and broke his fucking leg. He’s the reason Cay can’t play anymore.

In one Globetrotter’s skit, it involved Globetrotter’s Captain Meadowlark Lemon collapsing on the ground, and Wilt threw him up in the air several feet high and caught him like a baby. Lemon weighed 210 lbs. Lemon, and other people including Arnold Schwarzenegger, said that Wilt was the strongest athlete that ever lived. On March 9, 2000, his number 13 was retired by the Globetrotters. Wilt’s NBA Career Accomplishments On October 24, 1959 Wilt finally made his NBA debut. Wilt played for the then, “Philadelphia Warriors.” Wilt immediately became the league’s top earner making $30,000 topping Bob Cousy who was making $25,000. The $30,000 is equivalent to $263,000 in today’s currency as per the year 2019. In Wilt’s 1959-1960 season, which was his rookie year, his team made the playoffs. The Warriors beat the Syracuse Nationals then had to go on to play the Eastern Conference Champions, the Boston Celtics. Coach Red Auerbach strategized his forward Tom Heinsohn to commit fouls on Wilt. When the Warriors shot free throws, Heinsohn grabbed and pushed Wilt to stop him from getting back on defense, so quickly. Wilt was a prolific shot blocker, and this allowed Celtics to score quickly without Wilt protecting the basket. The Warriors lost the series 4 games to two after Tom Heinsohn got a last second tip in to seal the win of the series for the Celtics. As a rookie Wilt shocked Warriors' fans by saying he was thinking of retiring from basketball. He was tired of being double- and triple-teamed, and of teams fouling him very hard. Wilt was afraid that he would lose his temper one day which he did in the playoff series versus Boston. Wilt punched Heinsohn and injured his hand. Wilt played for The Philadelphia Warriors, who then relocated to San Francisco, The Philadelphia 76ers, and The Los Angeles Lakers. He won one title with the 76ers then one with the Lakers. First NBA game Wilt scored 43 points and snatched 28 rebounds. Grabbed his rookie career high of 43 rebounds in a win over the New York Knicks.

A rookie centre from Saskatoon, “Endo” was as laidback as they come, kind of the team’s Spicoli.

Durant had a 42 point game to finish a spectacular rookie season where he averaged 20.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists. He was the first rookie to average more than 20 points in a game since Carmelo Anthony (21) and LeBron James (20.9). He also became the first rookie to lead his team in scoring since Emeka Okafor and Josh Childress did it in 2004-05. As Durant won these accolades, he was knocked to his knees all year long. Durant was often criticized for flopping too much, but the truth was that he was not strong enough to stay on his feet to defend his heftier opponents. There were rumors that he couldn't even bench press 185 pounds because all he ate was chicken and candies. He was called "Starvin" and "String Bean" by his buddies because of his reed-thin 185 pound frame. Durant was so thin that Sonics Coach P.J. Carlisimo played him as a 6-9 guard at that time. Durant was also labeled as "chucker" because he took 1,366 shots from the field and made just 43%. He was just taking orders from Carlisimo, who

For hitter or pitcher, rookie or veteran, baseball has long been defined by failure rather than success, the old a-.300-hitter-gets-out-7-times-in-10-at-bats truism. Dealing with and managing failure is an essential—some would say the essential—part of the job description.

The Lakers wrapped the season with an NBA-best 67-15 record, and while O’Neal (29.7 points per game), Bryant (22.5 points per game), and Rice (15.9 points per game) stood out on the statistical sheets, the key was Jackson. The veteran coach somehow kept a roster overflowing with egos and arrogance in one piece; somehow convinced O’Neal to ignore Bryant’s cockiness; and somehow convinced Bryant to accept life in the shadow of a larger-than-life big man. He used Rice wisely, leaned on veterans like John Salley and Ron Harper to keep the locker room happy, forbade the hazing of rookies.

Blue wasn't exactly a rookie, not any longer anyway. He'd had a phenomenal season the previous year that had him nin the upper echelon of NHL stat charts: 60 goals, 30 assists and a gritty, tough-as-shit work ethic.

Your stats are impressive.” Simon pauses, and his grin is lethal. “For a female athlete. I noticed your assists⁠—” “Hold up,” I say, and every head in the room turns to look at me. I crack open the water bottle that’s sitting in front of Emerson and shove it toward her. “We’re not going to do that.” “Do what?” Simon asks, and he’s lucky there is a barrier between us. “Throw in the for a female athlete one-liner. You’ve been around since I was a rookie, Buttecker, and I’ve never heard you tell me my stats were good for a male athlete. If you’re going to cover us this season, you’re going to recognize Hartwell is an NHL player. Full stop.

If you work in a complex organization or a dynamic environment, you know that challenges are unavoidable. Still, many of us do our best to avoid them. But what happens when we try to sidestep these problems? Former NFL wide receiver Eric Boles recounted a moment of weakness in his rookie year with the New York Giants. As a wide receiver, his role was to run, catch passes, and keep running. So his mentality as a player was to avoid getting hit. But in addition to playing wide receiver, he played on special teams as a flyer. During the kickoff, his job was to sprint down the field toward the opposing players and break up their offensive formation called “the wedge”—a human wall of massive blockers who run in front of their kickoff returner to prevent the receiver from being tackled. In one of his first season games, as he came face-to-face with this enormous obstacle intent on destroying anything in its way, his instinct to avoid getting hit kicked into effect. Instead of hitting the wedge head-on, he cut to the left and ran around it. He then successfully made the tackle from behind, but on the 45-yard line rather than the 20. That 25-yard advancement ultimately cost the Giants the game and a

Your stats are impressive.” Simon pauses, and his grin is lethal. “For a female athlete. I noticed your assists⁠—” “Hold up,” I say, and every head in the room turns to look at me. I crack open the water bottle that’s sitting in front of Emerson and shove it toward her. “We’re not going to do that.” “Do what?” Simon asks, and he’s lucky there is a barrier between us. “Throw in the for a female athlete one-liner. You’ve been around since I was a rookie, Buttecker, and I’ve never heard you tell me my stats were good for a male athlete. If you’re going to cover us this season, you’re going to recognize Hartwell is an NHL player. Full stop.” “In that case, I’ll amend my statement. Her stats are impressive, but she’d be last in the league in all categories.” “She hasn’t played a game yet and you’re already throwing her under the bus?” I ask, grabbing the microphone. “Pardon my language, but that’s not going to fucking fly around here. Treat my teammates with respect, or I’ll make sure we remove your press access for the foreseeable future. You can watch games on channel 5, not from the cushy media box, asshat.

5 Great Sites to Buy Aged Gmail Accounts in Los Angeles Telegram: helpdigitalshopusa WhatsApp: +1 (929) 688-3343 In the sun-drenched, hustle-hard ecosystem of Los Angeles, your digital identity isn't just an email address; it's your storefront, your business card, and your credibility, all rolled into one. For every aspiring influencer perched in a Venice Beach cafe, every startup founder pitching in a Santa Monica incubator, and every real estate mogul closing deals from Beverly Hills, Gmail is the default heartbeat of communication. But here’s the open secret whispered from the co-working spaces of Downtown LA to the production studios of Burbank: a brand-new Gmail account is like a learner's permit. It’s restrictive, it’s watched, and it lacks the authority to open the doors you need. This is where the market for aged Gmail accounts—pre-established, time-tested email identities—explodes into view. They are the verified, seasoned veterans in a world of digital rookies. This isn't about spamming or nefarious activities. This is about strategic advantage. An account created in 2015 carries a weight that a 2024 account simply cannot. It bypasses Google's initial "probation" period, enjoys higher sending limits, faces less scrutiny from algorithms, and instantly grants your project a patina of legitimacy. But where does one acquire such digital artifacts in a city built on perception? The key is knowing where to look. Here are five great sites and avenues to procure aged Gmail accounts, with a distinct Los Angeles lens. 1. The Digital Marketplace: UseViral The Analogy: The Beverly Hills Center of Digital Commerce. UseViral isn't a Los Angeles-specific site, but for an LA operator, it functions as the Rodeo Drive of digital assets. It’s polished, professional, and specializes in a suite of services designed to amplify online presence. For the LA influencer or marketer who values convenience and a clean interface, UseViral is a premier destination. Why It’s a Great Site: Reputation & Trust: In a city where who you know is everything, UseViral has built a strong, positive reputation. They prioritize customer service and reliability, mirroring the high-touch service expected by LA clientele. Curated Selection: They don’t just sell accounts; they offer packages. You can select accounts based on age, creation date, and sometimes even geographic history, which is crucial for geo-targeted marketing campaigns. Security Focus: Understanding the paramount importance of account security, UseViral typically provides accounts that are fully verified and recovered, reducing the risk of a reclaim by the original creator—a non-negotiable for a business asset. The LA Pro-Tip: When using a platform like UseViral, think of it as outsourcing a specialized task. Your time is your most valuable asset in LA. The hours you save not hunting for accounts can be poured into content creation, networking, or closing deals. The premium price is an investment in efficiency. 2. The Social Media Bazaar: SEOClerks The Analogy: The Melrose Trading Post for Digital Goods. If UseViral is Rodeo Drive, then SEOClerks is the vibrant, eclectic, and sometimes

I was not really sure what my father did in the army. His job seemed mainly to involve two activities: One was rushing to his station to signal an alert drill daily at 9:00 p.m...The other activity was catching runaway soldiers...I could not get the adults to explain why anyone wanted to run away. Where were they going? There were soldiers everywhere. They were used as a general workforce, sweeping the streets, driving cars, hauling stuff around. Others were always marching somewhere. Often they would waylay schoolkids near a store and ask them to go in to buy something. They were afraid to go in themselves because they might be spotted by a patrol on the lookout for soldiers absent from their unit without leave. The soldiers didn't look particularly happy, but neither did they seem so unhappy they might be thinking of running off into the forest. As I found out later, they were running away because of dedovshchina ("bullying"). Bullying of raw recruits by older soldiers reached such a level that in 1982 the minister of defense had to issue a secret order, "On Combating Nonregulation Relations," thereby recognizing it as a widespread practice. Hazing became a self-replicating system. You joined the army, got beaten up, your money was taken from you, and you were forced to scrub floors and do the laundry of the "older" soldiers, who joined the army just a year and a half before you. After all these humiliations, you just waited for your turn to beat up the rookies, because that was just the way it was, a necessary part of army life, something that transformed a civilian wimp into a real man. The system was often tacitly endorsed by officers, who saw it as a self-regulating system of training and discipline. For example, some rural idiot joins the army, fails to understand elementary commands, looks scruffy, and is generally hopeless. So then the staff sergeant punches him a couple of times in the middle of the chest ("in the soul"), which really huts (you cannot punch him in the face, because the marks would show), and he immediately comes to his senses and starts behaving like a seasoned soldier. Needless to say, such an idiotic practice did nothing to improve discipline, and fundamentally undermined respect for the army. Soldiers returning home after two years of national service luridly described the bullying to those yet to be conscripted. It closely resembled the revelations of people returning from prison. Mothers listened in horror and then had no wish to send their sons off to the army. Periodically, after yet another unfortunate young man, unable any longer to bear the hazing, committed suicide or shot his abusers, the army would launch another anti-bullying campaign, which never did any good. The practice is institutionalized and can only be combated by changing the institution, primarily by creating an army in which professional servicemen and servicewomen are paid a salary to defend the county. What is not needed is an army that depends on hapless youths taken from their families (for two years in the U.S.S.R., and nowadays for one) who are forced to spend their time in an institution that is a bizarre form of survival school. Curiously, the army takes a certain pride in this constant imbecility, as I began to notice as I grew older. It was regularly remarked that our soldiers and officers were so inured to carrying out ridiculous orders-for example, with my own eyes I saw soldiers painting grass green before inspection-that, under fire, they would perform miracles of discipline. Because they lived in such poverty and were so used to hardship, there could be no doubt that in the event of war the pampered Americans, with their luxurious barracks and individual apartments for officers, would be defeated.

Throw in the for a female athlete one-liner. You’ve been around since I was a rookie, Buttecker, and I’ve never heard you tell me my stats were good for a male athlete. If you’re going to cover us this season, you’re going to recognize Hartwell is an NHL player. Full stop.

watching as the tightly-wound dance teacher kneels in front of a gray crate. The angle affords me a very nice view of her very nice backside. Squeezing my eyes shut, I remind myself I don't have time for women. Especially the ones who hate me for no reason. Women are just a distraction from hockey—and my one goal for this year is to have a flawless NHL rookie season…so I’m officially off the market until I hit that goal. No distractions. And actually, it doesn’t even matter in this particular case, because I will never see this woman again. With that reminder, I take one more peek at her ass. It’s a free country. “Are you staring at Miss Ally’s cat? Isn’t he cute?” Paige asks. I clear my throat, glancing down at my niece whom I'd forgotten about. Uncle of the year over here. “Um, yeah,” I answer, glad she’s too young to realize what I was actually looking at.

After all those cookies last night, the three of us agreed to hit up the gym in our building to do an early workout. And yet here I am, the only one awake at eight in the morning.

Fisher and I follow Penn’s lead, removing our jackets and rolling up our sleeves. We’re probably all thinking the same thing—the more we help, the faster we can eat the cookies.

I was fully clothed under that jersey, and he still looked at me like Penn is currently looking at the cookie in his hand.

He’s twenty-two years old.” She says this like being twenty-two makes a person an ancient, sage-like being. “That’s very, very old,” I agree, matching her solemn expression. “How old are you?” “Also very old—almost twenty-one.” “Wow!” She exclaims.

There’s no security at the door, therefore nobody to stop an underage girl wearing a dance leo and carrying a freaking cat in a crate from entering the premises. Which is kind of a them problem, not a me problem.

I’m lying on my back on Mitch and Andie’s sectional while my two younger nieces, Laini and Harlow, are playing spa. I won’t lie; it’s nice to lay here after a long practice this morning. If Laini wasn’t currently painting my fingernails, or if Harlow wasn’t rubbing some strange gunk on my face, I’d probably be asleep. Whatever product is being smeared across my forehead smells like cotton candy and I can only assume it has glitter in it. I’m going to need another shower when I arrive back at the loft tonight. Mitch is on the back deck grilling burgers, and Andie should be home from picking up Paige after dance class any minute now. “Okay, done!” Laini announces. I peel one of the cucumbers off my eye and bring my hand up to see the damage. My nails are painted bright purple. “It matches the purple on your hockey jersey!” Laini says, looking so proud of herself. She runs a hand through her tangled blonde hair, which leaves a streak of purple nail polish. Hopefully that’s easy to get out… I smile. “It really does. Good work.” She preens, eyeing her youngest sister. “Did ya hear that Harlow? Uncle Noah likes his nails.” Harlow pouts, removing my other cucumber and looking down at me with her big, brown eyes. “Uncle Noah, did you like your facial, too?” “Of course,” I say with conviction. “Best facial I've ever had.” It’s not a lie, because this is my first facial. Harlow beams, showing off the gap where she lost her two front teeth. She pops a fist onto her hip. “Best facial he’s ever had.

A few minutes into my hair appointment, the back door swings open and Mitch walks through with a platter full of burgers. He stops in his tracks, staring at me. “Wow.” “That bad?” I mock whisper. “Hey!” Laini says, offended. “We worked hard on this!” “Uncle Noah, you look beautiful,” Harlow adds, looking at me adoringly.

Because I’d come back home after and Ally would be standing there holding her stupid cat with her stupid long, tan legs.

Penn huffs a laugh. “I’ve never seen you flustered over a girl like this.” “I didn’t know you were even capable of looking at girls in the same affectionate way you look at your hockey stick,” Fisher adds,

He turns to make his way back to his room, and I call after him. “Hey, Noah?” “Yeah?” His eyes find mine. “Thank you.” The two words come out more loaded, heavier, more meaningful than I intend, and Noah studies me for a long beat before he simply nods. “Anytime, Ally.

Noah Downsby, you’re just a big softy, aren't you?” Only for beautiful dancers who bake delicious cookies.

Never mind that Ally was on my mind for hours, the events of the night playing in a loop on repeat at the forefront of my brain. First, it was strange that Fisher—designated house party animal and wild child—was prepared to call off the entire party the second he looked at Ally after the game. What was that about? And then, when I saw Sandine closing in on her, it looked like she was shaking. And while she stood her ground, chin tilted defiantly as she stared up at my drunken teammate, her body language was tense. Rigid. Afraid. I know fight or flight mode when I see it. And she flinched when I touched her arm. Flinched. Like she thought I might hurt her…but then, when she saw it was my hand on her arm, sheer relief washed over her features. What the hell had that asshole said to her? I have no idea what caused her panic, but I do know I never want to see that look on her face ever again—because seeing her like that made me want to punch Sandine square in the face.

She has more passion inside of her pinky finger than most people have in their entire being…and she’s all mine.

I round the corner into our main living area and blink in surprise to find all three boys seated at the dining table, a spread of pancakes, fruit, eggs, bacon, and a full pot of coffee on the table in front of them. In the background, the kitchen looks like a bomb full of pancake batter exploded in it. “What on earth?” I blurt, my jaw practically on the floor. Penn—who’s wearing the stupid pink frilly apron again—grins. “It’s a good luck breakfast.” “Made by us,” Fisher chimes in, looking ridiculously proud of himself.

She’s grouchy, from what Penn says. Ally Sounds like you two would make a good match. Want me to go downstairs and put in a good word for you? Noah Nah. Don’t tell anybody, but I’m kind of into someone else. Ally I’m intrigued. I bet she’s awesome. Noah She is. Smart, sexy, funny. The total package. Noah Nobody you know, obviously. Ally Obviously.

Something about losing people you love in a car accident is that you always worry about it happening again. Car accidents happen every day, every hour, every second. It’s hard to let go of the fact that twelve years ago my parents got into a car and never came back home. The anxiety of keeping the people I care about safe is a weight always pressing on my chest. It’s the main reason I stayed close to home for college, close to Mitch and Andie. It’s why I was so relieved when I heard they were coming here for Mitch to coach. My logical brain realizes that living close to them won’t protect them from harm, but there’s a false sense of control somewhere in there that makes my heart feel lighter all the same. And I can’t deny my growing feelings for Ally when I feel the same strong protective instinct toward her. This is exactly why I’ve always held girls at arm’s length—why I've held everyone at arm's length. Even Penn doesn’t know me the way I know him, and we’ve been roommates and teammates for four years now. Getting close to people is terrifying…because it means more people you can lose.
