Celtics game might have been the most impressive Caleb Wilson has looked so far. Flying around everywhere on defense while looking more in control offensively. Two less publicized plays I liked from him: this pick-and-roll feed to Miller + a block he wasn't credited for.

Jessie Bates is an absolute assassin with the Peanut Punch. Total sniper. Unreal accuracy/effectiveness with it.

My grandmother and I talked the day of the Dean Scream and she said, “Well I won’t be voting for him.” I said, “Huh? He was fired up and keeping his supporters energized.” She scoffed and said, “That’s not how presidents act.”

One week later, Kendal Daniels nabs his first career INT to potentially seal a win against the undefeated 49ers.

Long game stoppage with Falcons defender Kendal Daniels down and being carted off. This is the scary, awful part of the game. I was watching when Reggie Brown of the Lions was down for 17 minutes with near paralysis. Really bad stuff. Prayers to Daniels.

Remember when we traded Orton and picks for Cutler, and Orton led the Broncos to a 6-0 start? I’ll be real: that was a stressful six weeks.

The Vikings being on the verge of 6-0 is a crime against humanity how many breaks is this mediocre ass team going to catch

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Thank you @robertloerzel.bsky.social for quoting me in this op-ed in @chicagotribune.com about the Uptown Theatre! I was honored to volunteer at the Uptown during Open House Chicago. There is a lot of momentum and optimism to build on in this moment. Let's keep the conversation going!

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com

Commentary: The line stretched for almost a mile on Broadway on Sunday in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. Thousands of people waited in the line for hours as the line inched forward.

A few notes for writers about the impact of the above book. First, it was a huge boost in my visibility. In 2015 I was already doing a lot of WGN radio hits courtesy of my friend Justin Kaufmann (thanks man!) and that book took it next level. readjack.wordpress.com/2016/08/24/t...

THAT'S A BEARS RECORD! SANTOS HITS FROM 58, TIES ROBBIE GOULD FOR LONGEST IN FRANCHISE HISTORY @wiltfongjr.bsky.social @funkycoldluis.bsky.social @bn-bears.bsky.social @kfishbain.bsky.social

Cairo Santos missed a 56-yard field goal today. The Bears have not made a field goal of 55 yards or more since 2023, the longest drought in the NFL. Every other team has hit a field goal of 55+ since 2024. The Bears have never made a field goal of 60+ yards. @wiltfongjr.bsky.social

No one on the Prime broadcast has mentioned that Santos's 58-yard field goal was a Bears franchise record because it's not occuring to anyone that a founding franchise of the NFL has never hit a 60-yarder.

Has anyone reported tonight on whether Caleb has a fever? My wife said immediately during his pre-kickoff interview, "He looks sick. His eyes never look like that." His face has been coated in sweat. And he was drinking Pedialyte in the locker room.
