Honestly Dubuque is very lovely, the Bears should give it a shot
A bill in the Iowa State Senate was introduced seeking an expansion of its economic growth attraction program with a goal of luring an NFL franchise, specifically the Chicago Bears.
“While Illinois and Indiana squabble over this issue, we are ready to get off the sidelines and into the game."

Remember when George Lucas was going to build a brand new museum on a Chicago parking lot for free that was going to have a bunch of Norman Rockwells in it and people threw a fit?
In what will likely be a major draw for the museum, the Art Institute of Chicago on Tuesday installed its first-ever Norman Rockwell painting, and it depicts the Chicago Cubs.

And if you’re going to be unfaithful, why waste your infidelity on some rando when there’s a Supermarket Sweep of potential partners right around the corner?

I was hoping the confession was going to be that he cheated on her with another athlete at this very Olympics, sadly it was more boring

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.
We are murdering people and it is basically just background noise at this point. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/u...

the following drone shot that NBC has for the downhill skiing feels like a paradigm shift in covering the sport. it really changes and lets people see just how fast they're going and how much these guys are just on the razor's edge of complete disaster at all time

I think collectively, we at least partially wanted the child at the Super Bowl to be Liam because the little boy on stage looked happy and healthy and our hearts want so badly to think these children can somehow magically recover from the evils our government is doing.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Megyn Kelly really feels like one of exemplars of the Second Trump Era. Came to prominence in the conservative mainstream, tried to move into the broader public mainstream but failed, to which she responded by joining league with gutter racists who gave her the attention she felt entitled to.
Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

Josh McDaniels won Assistant Coach of the year lmao
The NE offensive game plan was puzzling. 79.1% of snaps in 11 personnel. No game over 70% in regular season. Got dime 53% of the time but still couldn't run.
Zero snaps in empty to try to spread the Seahawks out. Season-low in 21 personnel, 1.5%. One snap in Jumbo.
Just let Seattle play its game.

I did a Learn to Curl class last year, and it’s fun! It’s a very easy sport to learn & most clubs have varying degrees of involvement, from casual beer leagues on up.
Finding a club is def the most annoying part though. I live in Chicago and there’s no clubs in the city proper, only in the burbs.

So here's the fun thing, you can! I got into curling after the 2010 games. The DFW Curling club had Learn to Curl lessons and I was hooked. Look for the closest club near you and reach out. I can almost guarantee they are hosting watch parties and Learn to Curls. www.usacurling.org/find-a-club
