Allow me to tug at your heartstrings for a moment. The Yankees are in the middle of a charity initiative called Hope Week, in which they surprise some people who have gone through some rough times. Watch this video and this video to see the good side of sports in action. And since all of you know I'm a Yankees fan, I'm going to be fair here and give the Red Sox their due, too. They're in the middle of helping out with the annual Jimmy Fund telethon. To donate, click here.

I've mentioned the Broadway show Rock of Ages here a couple of times, and have talked it about it even more on Twitter. Quite frankly, I've wanted to write about it a lot more, but since it was only based in New York, I knew most of you would be shut out. However, that's about to change because the show is going on a national tour. So, if you like classic '80s music -- Bon Jovi, Poison, Whitesnake, Journey, Pat Benatar, etc. -- you have to go see this show. If you enjoy those bands, you will have a non-stop blast for two-and-a-half hours. Check to see if the show is coming to your area and get your tickets. I haven't made any deal with the show to promote it and I haven't gotten free tickets or anything like that. I just want to spread the word to my fellow '80s-loving people that this is a guaranteed good time. To find out more about the show and to hear about which athletes have gone to see it, (and for some Yankees talk), check out this Q&A I did with the Tony-nominated star of the show, Constantine Maroulis, who some of you may remember from American Idol fame.
