Innovating in the field of smoshed potatoes which feels like a @darthbluesky.bsky.social post if there ever was one. Maybe a little parsley and butter when served.
That was one of the most fun Chicago sports team seasons I’ve ever experienced in four decades of watching this stuff. Short of a championship, that similar to the 2015 Cubs, the 2011-12 Bulls and the 2008-09 Blackhawks or the 1993 White Sox. Easily the most fun I’ve had as a Bears fan in my life.

Big Jim reminds me of the 2010s Hawks instantly and for that I will love him forever. Bear down.

Jealous that these two teams get Joe and Troy for their game. I wanted Aikman calling Williams v Stafford. At least Tirico and Collinsworth will still be an upgrade over Al and Herbstreit from last week.

I really hope this is just a deke by Ben Johnson to have the Rams gameplan for the possibility. Otherwise the Chiefs did this with some pretty horrific results, especially in last year’s Super Bowl. Just put Theo out there. Even Jones before Joe.
Plan B with Ozzy Trapilo out?
#Bears could be fixing to move All-Pro Joe Thuney to left tackle to help protect Caleb Williams against formidable #Rams defensive front.

Chicago Bears’ plan to protect Caleb Williams vs. LA Rams front could have All-Pro Joe Thuney at left tackle
As the Chicago Bears prepare to protect Caleb Williams against a powerful LA Rams defensive front, All-Pro Joe Thuney could be shifted to left tackle.

This made sense to me as how I should prepare for Bears-Rams tomorrow. The action is the juice.

A big deal for the Rams rushing attack, which they should lean on vs CHI

AO 2026 picks:
- Alcaraz on the men’s side. I know that’s chalk but he’s the best player on earth right now. I’m also rooting for the grand slam because the stories will be fun to read.
- Anisimova is my pick on the WTA side. She’s ready. The year of Amanda starts in Melbourne.

The Rockets swoon is reaching a concerning length. They’re flirting with play-in territory if they keep it up.

How Prediction Markets Turned Life Into a Dystopian Gambling Experiment
What are Polymarket and Kalshi? Why are they taking over the world? And is there anything stopping actors on these platforms from exploiting almost everything and everyone?

We need to put in an edict that neither the Milwaukee Bucks nor Giannis Antetokoumpo will be reported on until one of two conditions are met:
1.) the Bucks get to a .500 record
2.) Giannis is actually traded
There is no there there anymore. Known bad team plays poorly and star player pouts. <end>

Spurs youth showing a bit tonight. Wemby playing in tilt a bit. There’s been an element of #homecookin for the Thunder and the officiating, sure, but gotta play through it. OKC taking advantage of every break they’re given as a good team does.

That’s exactly what it is. He’s intent on proving Chet isn’t his rival. Which makes him always, always, always going at Chet so hard even better.
I don't know this for a fact, but I have a strong hunch Wemby is just constantly baffled about people asking him about his rivalry with the third-best player on another team.
I don't think it's personal.

Wemby vs. Chet is the most intense, bitter, hilarious individual grudge match that one guy refuses to acknowledge and the other guy did nothing to provoke. It’s amazing.

The hate that Wemby plays with against Chet really activates that Michael Jordan part of my fan brain.
