Pretty cool in the 25 years of being a Bears fan I’ve seen them have both the greatest punt returner of all time and the worst punt returner of all time.

My favorite thing about this Sox W is Cubs fans will write it off as meaningless (which it is), but we all know it kills them to lose to us.

Gerrit Cole threw 19,806 pitches tracked by Brooks Baseball from 2011 to 2019, if he matches that number for the next nine years he will make $16,358.68 per pitch. A 100-pitch outing would be worth more than $1.63 million. I’M SICK.

Let’s play name your favorite/filthiest pitch from this montage. I’ll take Treinen’s 98 MPH sinker at the 0:22 mark (Sorry, Sale).

I’ve been in a slight downtrend in college hoops for the past week, so I have an announcement to make. I’m getting out of this funk the only way I know how. I will be betting all 18 games on the slate today.

Well there’s really no other way around it. If I ever run into Rodgers whether that be tomorrow, 5 years from now while he’s hosting Jeopardy, or 35 years from now when he’s old and gray… it’s hands on sight, may the best man win.

Lol it’s high school kids, at a high school playoff game. The opposing student section coming up with chants to mess with the opposing team. Can we stop blowing this out of proportion?. You wanna be mad? Be mad at the Bears front office for letting it get to this point.
Fire Nagy chants at his son’s football game? Is this how low we’ve gone? The emboldenment of the worst people on earth is at hand. This is trash. From what we know Nagy is a good man. There’s a time and a place and this isn’t it.

Alright, it’s the thread that everyone has been waiting for (intense sarcasm), but here’s my attempt to talk our way through all of the first round matchups along with any action I’ve taken as well, Thursday can’t come fast enough. We’ve got Madness in March!.

Sad sad sad. Used to rush home from high school at 3:00 to make it in time to watch Jeopardy. Carried the tradition over into college by planning my schedule around it. Thanks for all the knowledge, Alex. The show will not be the same without you.
Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.

73 pitches on full rest. Top 3 in the Dodgers order are a combined 0-6 with 6 K’s and you pull your ace, your former cy young winner, and now you’re down 2-1🤷🏻♂️. Analytics are great for the game, but they certainly aren’t the only thing.

Devin Hester kick/punt returns and Chris Sale on the bump every five days don’t even compare to 16-18 year old me making sure I was home in time to watch 40 minutes of D Rose every night.

Oooo I pray somebody has the nerve to tell my kid to stop cheering at a ball game one day.
8yr old Chloe was cheering at Sunday’s @astros game when a fan sitting in front yelled, “enough!” Chloe’s mom says she has DMDD (Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder) which means she can’t comprehend emotions greater than that of a toddler. Her cheering abruptly stop. Thoughts?

Had to get some stuff off my chest today. Bit of a rant, and we had to cut it short😂. Just know I also had some words for Jayce Tingler too. The unwritten rule of all unwritten rules, coaches ALWAYS have their players back.
Should Fernando Tatis Jr. have swung on 3-0? 🤔. The @Payoff_Pitches guys chat about the unwritten rule and what's gotten baseball fired up today.

Hahaha fire this dinosaur into the sun. The last bit of respect I had for TLR was that he had his player’s backs and seemed to fall on the sword when questioned by the media. Now that he’s not doing that, I’m done with this guy👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽.
Tony La Russa was 'upset' that Yermin Mercedes hit a home run on a 3-0 count last night in a blowout win. "He made a mistake. There will be a consequence he has to endure here within our family.".

Pretty crazy that I sat through a rebuild all for an era that peaked with a Tim Anderson walk-off in a corn field in Iowa. Humbling sport. I’m pissed off. Let’s figure this shit out @whitesox and dominate the back half of the decade. Love this team with everything I’ve got
