Another great Kruk story. Not even in the top-10 all time, but it’s still good. I can’t believe some hillbilly from West Virginia has this many stories for one life:

THEM THINGS GOT BIG HEADS!

TMac really has a knack for calling the game while Kruk goes off the rails with another one of his stories. They’re in perfect lockstep with one another. It’s like watching a ballet or synchronized swimming. Even when TMac can’t contain his laughter there’s Kruk to pick up the slack:

This is easily the best tandem we have right now calling games of the four major sports in Philadelphia.

A lot of giraffe content on the site lately between Kruk and Bryson Stott’s nickname for Alec Bohm:


I don’t have much more to add to this so here are some giraffe facts you can tell in a conversation if you’re ever in a pinch:

  • They are the world’s tallest living animal.
  • Giraffes only eat plants and don’t drink much water because they get it from the leaves they eat.
  • A group of giraffes is called a tower.
  • To see who is stronger, males fight by butting their long necks and heads. This is known as “necking.” These fights end when one bull admits defeat and walks away.
  • Females are ready to mate from four years old and have a gestation period of 15 months – at birth, calves endure an incredible drop of 1.5m to the ground.
  • Each giraffe has a pattern of spots that is completely unique to them, much like a human’s fingerprint.
  • Giraffes use very little communication that can be heard by humans. Mothers will occasionally whistle to warn or call their young but most communication is done infrasonically, with moans and grunts far too low for humans to hear.

There are your giraffe facts for today.
