Kyle forwarded this to me and said “I guess you just have to get this one.” I’m not sure what he’s getting at.
Yesterday, VICE Sports uploaded a mini-doc they made about Connor Barwin and his fundraiser to restore Ralph Brooks Park. Barwin (along with Urban Roots, the ACE Mentor Program, and the Philadelphia Water Department) hosted a night of bands, food, and more at Union Transfer back in June, and while following him around, the VICE cameras picked up a few things:
- Barwin, card-carrying member of The Everymen, gets nervous about public speaking
- Barwin doesn’t see himself as a hipster, but as his own girlfriend says, “All hipsters say they’re not hipsters.” So, Connor, there’s no use fighting it. That is what I have learned.
- “The bar is for charity after 8 o’clock, so… let’s get fucking drunk, dude.”
- Jason Kelce, right after the five-minute mark, plays a pretty funky air-bass. How is he dressed? CONTENT MONETIZATION:

Good work by Connor.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
