Your Ring camera can scam passing dogs and compare them to databases of missing dogs and that’s heartwarming and there are absolutely no sinister implications that’s why the guy in the button-down and Dockers is soothing

I have a really annoying head cold right now. Tons of sinus pressure. My 7-month pregnant wife just said “I’m so uncomfortable!” And I almost replied with “me too.”
Not today Satan.

If you're riding the Brown Line into the Loop and you're at Belmont or Fullerton and the train is stopped with the doors open and a Red Line is on the other side also going south with its doors open, do you make a break for it and risk missing both trains?

I get the joke, but I’ll take every part of the Bears past/present over the Falcons.
Everyone seems to think this is a good hire so I will overlook the stink of Bears he brings www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/fal...

The general manager role in Atlanta is like most other GM gigs across the league with one exception.

This is especially true for younger players. Team PR reps will cast a player out if they don't hold the company line. Which means for a lot of guys their access to endorsements is gone.
I keep thinking about Wemby saying that team PR told him to shut up and not decry the ICE murders in Minneapolis. I don’t think he did it consciously, but he was breaking some serious omertà. Jocks have told me for years about political pressure from team PR but they never talk about it publicly.
