The Northern Lights looked absolutely incredible tonight.

In the past, I've only been able to see them through the camera (within city limits). But I could see them with the naked eye tonight. The red was especially intense.

Bleacher Nation Bears @bn-bears.bsky.social · 8d

Via Twitter/X, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports the Bears & Niners were among teams discussing a trade with the Jets for edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II.

The hold up? Jets wanted a 2nd rd pick, which ultimately led CHI to pivot to Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.

I think we dodged a bullet, folks.

Punk and Uso felt like they were working in slow motion most of the match. Several botches, too. Didn’t do it for me. #WrestleSky #SNME

I started Top Rope Nation in 2016. If you told me then that one day we'd reach 400 episodes, I'm not sure I'd have believed you.

It's been quite a run. We'd be honored if you'd leave us a congratulatory voicemail we can play on Ep. 400 this Sunday. #WrestleSky #AEW #WWE

I too don't want anyone taking medical advice from RFK, but guess who voted to confirm him as the person people should take medical advice from.

Watched AJ/Cena. Fun match that was entertaining throughout, but hardly an all-time classic. No psychology, just random finisher tributes. People are overselling the greatness of it big time.

#WWE sure went of their way to make you think it was one of the best matches ever, though #WrestleSky

Going to the pumpkin patch today. Kids and wife all dressed up in Halloween gear.

The only Halloween-themed shirt I own is a Halloween Havoc ‘89 shirt.

So it’s gonna be that one. #WrestleSky

Anyone have a recommendation for vintage movie poster frames? One sheet, 27x41 size (which generally makes the price for a frame skyrocket).
