Can’t wait for him to use his political beliefs as the reason he loses his spot in the lineup next season and not the fact he can’t hit his way out of a wet paper bag
Making a decision to participate in a political movement that's anathema to many Americans — including a large percentage of Cubs fans — only ensures that Matt Shaw will remain in the spotlight in 2026.

That was the craziest Bears win in my lifetime and I’m not exaggerating. This rivals the 49ers 01 comeback

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

“Abu Dhabi-based” is even an understatement since it’s literally owned by the Abu Dhabi government. Larry Ellison has a stated goal to take over all media, Silver Lake is Private equity nonsense and Andreessen Horowitz has literally been flooding TikTok with fake AI influencers through a start up.
The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

More states need to tell pro sports teams to fuck off. The “benefit” they’ll generate will come at the expense of Arlington Heights and the people of Illinois if the state and city forfeit billions in future property tax revenue
In an open letter to fans, Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren introduced exploring opportunities throughout the wider Chicagoland region and Northwest Indiana.

Really think the whole idea of the USL League Cup having a group stage is self defeating but wtf do I know. It would be a lot of Championship teams winning it anyway, the group stage kind of makes any L1 teams hanging around significantly less likely

We’ve already generated more buzz for Prinx Tires this morning than they have for their entire existence

My favorite part of Prinx Tires is I’ve never seen one in the wild

If it weren’t for USL I wouldn’t know they exist so it is truly a great partnership for Prinx
