Let’s unite the 🇺🇸 for the 2027 Super Bowl - Tom Jones & William Shatner are the only men for the job.

Spoken languages may have the power to turn people into raving lunatics...and this is why there are grammar police! They've been trying to protect us, & everyone always mocks them for being nerds and need to relax! When this happens, they will be the sole survivors!

Chicago sports teams need a bit of work:
We have neither bears and therefore no bear cubs, well aside from at the zoo.
We have a fuck ton of coyotes though, so that’s an option of a direction to go in if they want to continue with the animal theme.

Seattle Seawolves
Seattle Storm
Seattle Orcas
