One of the great things about working here at Designated Writers is that you never know what’s going to happen on a daily basis. Hence, the Daily Happen.

Somedays, you can just stare at the keyboard and you’d swear the thing was frozen. And some days, stuff starts busting loose and you have no idea which one to write about. Take Thursday for example. Turned into a literary manna-from-heaven situation.

Somebody threw a stuffed animal on the floor at the Mississippi State-Georgia game in the final seconds and it cost Georgia a technical foul and, subsequently, the game. The object in question was a bulldog, therefore giving Mississippi State an extra free throw to win the game. It was determined that the Georgia fans had thrown the offensive stuffed animal on the floor because they are the Bulldogs. Tell me again what Mississippi State’s nickname is?

Meanwhile, a 9-year-old girl is all bent out of shape because she was playing an MLB video game at Chuck E. Cheese and the narrator says something about “Go play softball!” after a strike out. She has taken offense to that — after all, she’s been playing softball half her life — and wrote a letter to Major League Baseball, which promises a thorough and complete investigation. Tell me this isn’t a statement from Corporate Hack 101 class:

“We love Marie’s passion for softball and her view that softball is just as great as baseball,” an MLB statement read. “Through our PLAY BALL program, growing youth softball has remained a priority for MLB, equally as important as growing youth baseball.”

“MLB does not support the message conveyed in the game and we are reaching out to the company to share our concerns about it.”

No word yet from Chuck.

Not to mention that Duke’s Zion Williamson blew out his Nike shoe in the first minute of the game Thursday night and people are genuinely concerned that the price of Nike stock might actually take a hit. A single shoe seemingly hasn’t been this much in the news since Russia’s Nikita Khrushchev at the United Nations in 1960. Except now we’ve come to find out that incident never actually happened. Or maybe it did.  Read about it yourself from our friends at Russia Beyond.

Tough day to choose what to write about, huh? Like we always say, whatever happens, happens.
