As if you needed another reason to love Larry Fitzgerald … the NFL superstar hit up a local restaurant and spotted the bill for a HUGE crowd — and the reason behind the good deed is awesome!! The Arizona Cardinals wide receiver hit up Casella’s…

Overly Patient Husband Totally Ruins Gender Reveal Video
There"s been a revolution in baseball over the past decade or so.
When considering a player"s productivity, traditional stats such as home runs and batting average simply aren"t as important as they once were, not when analysts have realized that almost nothing matters more than simply getting on base.
And, based on the video below, it’s pretty clear that Kyle Tait agrees with this theory.
Kyle and his wife are expecting a baby.
They decided to learn the baby"s gender prior to him or her actually entering the world, but they decided to learn this gender in creative fashion:
With a friend behind the camera, the expecting mother has a ball in her hand that is filled with either blue paint or pink paint.
Kyle has a bat in his hands.
The idea is that his wife will soft toss him the ball…. Kyle will hit said ball… and the subsequent explosion will reveal whether the couple will soon welcome a girl (pink!) or a boy (blue!).
Easy enough, right?
Except: Kyle, who works as a sports broadcaster in Atlanta, apparently takes pride in his keen batting eye.
So when his wife gently throws her pitch… he doesn"t swing! And the ball crashes to the ground! And it opens up on contact! And pink paints seeps all over the driveway!
This means the couple will be having a girl (Hooray! Congrats to them! We wish her well!), but it also means there"s no chance to do the video over again.
Some critics out there think Kyle took his wife"s pitch on purpose in order to help the following footage go viral.
We just think he the up-and-in delivery wasn"t in his sweet spot and Kyle wasn"t about to swing and miss and embarrass himself in front of his future son or daughter.
Watch the video and decide what you believe:

Virgin Airlines Turns Away 3-Year Old Cancer Patient
To borrow a saying frequently used on Twitter these days, Virgin Airlines has a message for United and Delta:
Hold my beer.
In the wake of the latter two companies embroiling themselves in indefensible scandals, Virgin has gone ahead and committed what might be the worst PR disaster of all.
Billie-Jean Simon tells The Daily Mail Australia that she and her three-year old daughter, Payton, were boarding a Brisbane flight bound for Newcastle last Wednesday.
The pair arrived at the gate on time, but Payton felt sick during boarding and had to be rushed to the bathroom.
The toddler sadly suffers from acute myeloid leukemia and “you just can’t tell a kid to hurry up when they’re being sick,” Billie-Jean’s mother, Tina Mancini, told the newspaper.
This seems like an obvious statement and not much of a controversy, right?
We wish that were the case.
According to Tina, Billie-Jean and her sick child returned from the bathroom just “one minute” after the cut-off time for boarding.
Billie-Jean explained the situation to the Virgin employees at the gate.
She said that Payton was on her way to receive stem-cell treatment in Newcastle, an appointment she very badly needed to attend after having already endured 16 rounds of chemotherapy at Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital.
This was all relayed to the attendants and “they closed the door in her face,” Tina told Sunshine Coast Daily.
She added that Billie-Jean could “see people still walking down” the tunnel to the airplane.
It was still parked at the gate. The airline very easily could have let Billie-Jean and her CANCER-STRICKEN young daughter on board.
Alas, they stuck to the absolute letter of their law and did not budge on their boarding policy.
“When she asked about the next flight she was told it would be another $ 600, despite having insurance,” Tina explained. “With money so tight at the moment, it just wasn’t something she could afford.”
Therefore, mother and ill child drove until 1 a.m. to reach their destination.
They have since set up a GoFundMe page to help the family with the financial burden of Payton’s disease.
Over the last few weeks, the airline industry has been caught in one public relations humane disaster after another.
You’ve likely read by now about the United Airlines passenger who was bloodied and bruised after getting dragged off an overbooked flight.
But there was also the Delta passenger who got the boot from a plane for using the bathroom while it was still grounded.
And then Delta was at it again just a few days ago when it threatened to jail a mother and father who initially refused to take their very young kids off a plane that, once again, had been overbooked.
Watch their exchange with a flight attendant below:
But closing the boarding door in the face of a three-year old with cancer?
The competition is stiff, but we need to congratulate Virgin Airlines for this act.
It’s officially the most despicable example of airline company behavior to date!

Bon Jovi Answers Livin Prayer of Cancer Patient
After all this time, Bon Jovi continues to give the world reasons to like him.
His latest act of philanthropy came in the form of meeting a mother of four, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
Carol Cesario has always been an avid fan of the singer, so her daughter took matters into her own hands to secure a meeting for her mother.
Rose Skripkunas took to Facebook to start a campaign for the star to meet her mother.
After the post went viral, Bon Jovi took notice of it and invited the family to his restaurant.
For those who don"t know, the star has a restaurant in New Jersey called JBJ Soul Kitchen.
Cesario knew she was going to the restaurant, but she never imagined she would get to meet her idol.
He spent over one hour with the family and even let them hear music from his new album.
If that wasn"t enough, he gave her some pretty cool gifts.
Who wouldn"t want a signed Bon Jovi guitar?!
He also gave her a book that we"re sure she will be delighted to read.
We have a video of the meeting that we"re sure will make you tear up as you watch.
You need to see the look of delight on Carol"s face as she got to meet her idol.
She was genuinely surprised and we"re so glad that her dream came true.
Cesario"s daughter took to Facebook to thank the star for the meeting afterwards.
What did you think of the video?

Most Patient Dog Ever Waits in Line for Ice Cream
How awesome are dogs?!?
We know this is a question with an obvious answer, but it"s still worth bringing up in light of our latest viral doggy video.
Unlike past pieces of memorable footage, this one doesn"t feature a canine reuniting with its owner after two years apart.
Nor does it depict a puppy experiencing every sad emotion in the book upon watching Mufasa die in The Lion King.
So, what does it make is so special?
It introduces viewers to Reggie, a three-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier, whose owner says doesn"t chase cats or dogs or anything like that.
So, what does Reggie bonkers? The local ice cream man and his truck.
“There’s been times when I’ve heard the van and I can’t find Reggie – but I know where he’ll be,” the owner told The Daily Express. “He’ll be at the ice cream van.”
And that"s where he is in this video.
But he"s not about to cut any lines. Reggie may be a hungry dog, but he"s also a patient one.
Watch him stand patiently behind two girls before placing his order below. We love it!

Taylor Swift Poses with Young Cancer Patient, Makes Us Cry
Over the past few months, Taylor Swift has made headlines on a seemingly daily basis by bringing out surprise guests to join her on stage for a duet.
But the singer spent time on Saturday with a very different sort of special guest.
For the most unfortunate of reasons.
Taylor Rayburn is a six-year old who was tragically diagnosed in late April with a Stage 3 Wilms’ tumor, a rare kidney cancer.
As a surprise, her mother got Rayburn tickets to Swift’s concert in Atlanta over the weekend.
As luck would have it, Rayburn and her mother ended up sitting nearby Swift’s mother, who was also diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Andrea Swift therefore went ahead and invited Rayburn to sit with her for a couple of her daughter’s songs… and then she brought the ill toddler backstage!
In response to Rayburn’s disease, a Facebook group called Project Team Taylor has been created and it shared the picture above while including with it the following message:
Since Taylor spent her birthday in the hospital we surprised her this weekend with a trip to Atlanta and Taylor Swift concert tickets.
Our seats happened to be close to where Taylor Swift’s entourage was. Taylor Swift’s mom noticed Taylor and let Taylor sit next to her for a song and at the end of the concert took us backstage to meet Taylor Swift!!!!
Thanks Ms. Andrea, dreams really do come true!!!!
This is not the first time Swift has been there for a cancer-stricken fan.
She actually donated $ 50,000 to a young fan sadly in a similar situation to Rayburn back in July.
Here are a few other reasons why TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE BEST:
