Welcome to What If Dogs and Cats had Opposable Thumbs Day!
It’s March 3rd, and you know what that means: "What if Dogs and Cats Had Opposable Thumbs Day" has arrived again, the day on which we contemplate the true meaning of how the world would be different if our pets had opposable thumbs and could do the sorts of things we humans take for granted.

Dino Babers Really Really Hates Soda (TNIAAM; Keeley)
The Syracuse Orange football team is practicing in full pads but Dino Babers' big concern right now is keeping everyone healthy.
"The contact's really been down to a minimum," Babers said. "Our numbers are down so low that we're trying to keep everybody healthy as long as we can during spring ball."
"It was very, very short (live period) and it was just to give them a little taste of it," Babers said.

$1 Million Cache of Century-Old Ty Cobb Baseball Cards Found in House (PS; AP)
From a crumpled paper bag in a dilapidated house came a baseball-card find of a lifetime. Seven of them actually.
Card experts in Southern California said Wednesday that they have verified the legitimacy — and seven-figure total value — of seven identical Ty Cobb cards from the printing period of 1909 to 1911. Before the recent find, there were only about 15 known to still exist.
Joe Orlando, the president of Professional Sports Authenticator in Newport Beach, California, who verified the find, said it is "spectacular" and "miraculous" to have come across such a cache.
"I am not sure if any other baseball card find is more remarkable than this new discovery," Orlando said in a statement.
The family who discovered the cards in a neglected paper bag at the run-down house of a deceased great-grandfather has asked to remain anonymous.
Publicist Donn Pearlman, who helped announce the finding, said only that they are from a southern state and that the cards were first taken to a dealer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
