This is quite the quote pull via 670 The Score’s Chris Emma : “I feel like that with Chicago sports in general. Always felt like that with the Cubs, here obviously in Chicago with the Bears, it’s kin...
Happy Tuesday. I played badminton this morning. I’m trying out the game because I don’t think I’m going to be playing squash for many more years. It is hard on the joints. But the problem, for me, is that Badminton isn’t much of a workout. I played for an hour and a half, taking about […]

1. I can’t believe I watched Lamar Jackson nearly resurrect the Ravens from the dead in the fourth quarter only to watch Baltimore get Cundiffed again at the buzzer, thanks to a missed Tyler Loop field goal. Unbelievable. Well…except for that time when Mark Andrews dropped the game-tying two-point conversion last year. Or when Zay […]
In addition to the ninth overall pick of April’s NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs were set to get another benefit of their 6-11 finish: the elusive third-place schedule that is often perceived to be a significant advantage in the following season.
