Putting a Packers-Bears playoff game on a Saturday night was a choice that was made specifically to make bars across Chicago and Wisconsin as much money as humanly possible

Tampa’s win means not only has Notre Dame been crowned NFC South champs, they’ve also secured a Stanley Cup quarterfinals berth. All their fans’ social media bellyaching worked!

The Winter Classic should be a mildly unpleasant experience for everyone. Fans, players, everyone. It should not be played in a DOMED BASEBALL STADIUM IN MIAMI.

Indiana is so good at not beating themselves that if they were in that one episode of Seinfeld, they’d easily win that bet.

Wrigleyville Man signs top shortstop prospect to a long term deal. She’ll make her arrival on the North side in April. The area scout developing her — her mom — reports she’s got lots of energy and strong legs. Future double play partner Nora had this to say: “BIG SISTER!”

Before the year ends, my eternal gratitude to the bartenders, servers, managers, dishwashers, runners, and everyone else who keeps Wrigleyville’s bars running and thriving. Y’all have been so good to me and my family over the years. Cheers to a prosperous 2026.

Ran my 7th marathon, went to places like Florida and Nashville for work among others, saw more than two dozen Cubs games at Wrigley including my daughter’s first playoff clincher, and watched my daughter become more mobile. It was a good year. Cheers to 2026.

My two year old is throwing a tantrum because I made breakfast for her and wouldn’t let her have an apple sauce pouch for breakfast. I’m having pie myself and explained this to her by saying “Daddy gets to have pie for breakfast because Daddy is the Daddy.” And, yeeeeah…
