A lot of things are not people's jobs. Joe Robbins/Getty Images
In the wake of Bill O’Brien’s now famous utterance of “It’s not my job” (and make no mistake about it, this will never leave him, it will always be part of his resume, quite possibly the first thing we think of when we refer to him) I’ve put together a list of jobs people don’t have.
Serena Williams: It’s not my job to not totally lose my mind and create a non-gender issue into one
Baltimore Orioles: It’s not my job to not suck as badly as any team ever.
Nathan Peterman: It’s not my job to be able to play well to last more than a half in a football game
Cleveland Browns: It’s not our job to win the turnover battle by 5 and win the football game.
Cam Newton: It’s not my job to listen to females talkin’ ‘bout routes
Matt Ryan: It’s not my job to throw a touchdown pass to Julio Jones
Jamie Lannister: It’s not my job to not smash my sister
Urban Meyer: It’s not my job to be a decent human being
Nick Saban: (See Urban Meyer)
Ed Orgeron: It’s not my job to speak English
Tom Herman: It’s not my job to beat mediocre programs like Maryland
Alex Bregman: It’s not my job to make an out
Raheel Ramzanali: It’s not my job to dress like a heterosexual male
Del Olaleye: It’s not my job to like people
Joel Blank: It’s not my job to like AJ Hoffman
AJ Hoffman: It’s not my job to keep any thought I have about anyone to myself
John Granato: It’s not my job to stay sober

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
