Today we all take a step back from baseball and learn a few life lessons from Ron Swanson, a first-class citizen and gentleman, who can be found on NBC's Parks & Recreation on Thursday nights. Rumor has it Ron is a huge Braves fan, and his presence on the blog is a gift to all of us. You probably won't find Mr. Swanson rosterbating or voting in a poll, as he's a very busy man. He coaches a youth basketball team and spends most of his days and night spreading greatness all across our fine country.

And now onto the Talking Chop Pyramid of Greatness, courtesy of Mr. Swanson:
