Former NFL player arrested for attacking son’s youth football coach
Our take: In the “calm down, bro” category, former NFL player Christopher Massey was arrested for allegedly attacking his son’s youth football coach after a practice. The coach is a police officer who was off duty at the time, and chose to pepper-spray and handcuff Massey when he found Massey “pacing and waiting for him in the parking lot”.
This is simple: if you are getting into physical altercations over anything related to youth sports, you need to get a life and act like an adult. It sounds like both the coach and the father chose to escalate the situation. Both need to do a lot better if they are going to be around kids, let alone in leadership positions.

A Wisconsin stepfather accidentally kills his stepson while showing off his guns
Our take: While trying to impress his 8-year-old step-son by showing off his handguns to the youth, a step-father accidentally shot the boy to death. 53-year-old Steven Merkel said the magazine was not in the gun, so he thought it would not fire.
Unfortunately for Merkel, if there is a round in the chamber, the gun will fire regardless of the magazine being present or not. Merkel learned this the hard way and now faces charges of first-degree reckless homicide due to the incident. It’s hard to imagine a punishment meted out by the justice system that is worse than living with the fact that you shot and killed an 8-year-old by accident, especially one you are related to.

Weasley man sends woman $3.25 Venmo request for “half the fries” they split on their date
Our take: We talked about this last week, but we will reiterate it here again. Men should pay for dates. Period.
And women should be cognizant that things cost money and not order a whole bunch of items or expensive items unless they know the man well or have had a conversation about it beforehand.
This guy had better get used to masturbating. If he is chasing $3 from women for their share of the fries, he’s not going to score much.

Tip of the day
Getting money in your bank account is always a relief. But your job isn't your whole world. Even if you have a business that relies on you for its continued growth, your success could interfere with things you actually value and care about. Your happiness isn't found at the bank. Your future could be set with a lot of money, but imagine something bigger than what money can buy. Imagine your growth as a person. Hope for a wonderful family that loves and supports you no matter what. Dream of the rest you'll have from a balanced lifestyle. And work towards good health as you age.
