Anthony Rizzo just called the people accusing gun-protesting kids of being actors “losers.” Also, he’s right. #Cubs #OpeningDay.

My friend John Mullin is battling pancreatic cancer. Many of you know him from his excellent work covering the #Bears over the years. He has put out a video series in the hopes of helping others. Please check out the videos and pass them on.

From a column I wrote about Jake Peavy's zeal for his #WhiteSox teammates in 2013: "You can tell a phony by the way his enthusiasm dims when the camera lights shut off. The rah-rah guy suddenly loses his voice. The affliction is called Nick Swisher-itis.''.

Looks like the #Bears studied tape closely during the week and came to the conclusion that Tarik Cohen is on the team.

Trubisky looks completely committed to Robinson, which would be great if this were dating and not passing. #Bears.

There was a mistake in your tweet. It should have read:. I broke down: All the QBs brought in by Ryan Pace over the years.

This is the worst traffic I’ve ever seen for a #Bears game. I’m a half mile from Soldier Field, and if I get there for kickoff, I’ll be amazed. Oh, and I left 3 hours before game time.

It helps to laugh. I had the same cancer Eddie has. The laughing started when the doc mentioned the name of the chemo drug I'd be subjected to: 5-FU. I said, "5-FU? Nobody could think of another name?'' The good news: That was 11 yrs ago and I'm still laughing @Edzo16 #Blackhawks
I recently spent the day with #Blackhawks broadcaster Eddie Olczyk. Here is Part 1 of my two-part series on Eddie's fight with cancer:.

Let's not freak out every time a celebrity or famous athlete tests positive for COVID-19. It's going to happen, just like it's going to happen that people, superstars or otherwise, will get the flu. It doesn't mean that these are the End Times, OK?.
