One of the things that will make me feel normal during this decidedly not normal time is complaining about the weather.

80 degrees and in shorts and a tshirt on Tuesday. 2 days later I’m in my thickest winter jacket with gloves and a hat. Just another wonderful Chicago spring.

I'm good with the hire, but still lol bolls for going about this process 100% wrong. What was 100% wrong? I do think the token interviews they gave yesterday reached WTF levels like they almost went out of their way to pick the worst people imaginable. Beyond that, I don't really see anything wrong...

If you guys are mad now, wait until you find out that Trump comes out of the entire pandemic with a political tie at worst because the worst-case scenarios that needed to be broadcast to force him to react also give him an extremely easy bar to pass under and declare victory. It's going to be very ...

https://twitter.com/JCowleyHoops/status/1247584580753899522?s=20 caveat - it's cowley, but KC is reporting the same thing, and I'm basically posting it because if even cowley says it, it must be legit...cowley would love to call them out for insisting paxson be involved if he even had so much as an...

May is almost certainly too aggressive, if for no other reason than you need to have a reduced ramp up spring training, but I don't think it's that unreasonable an idea. You eliminate the risk of travel, and while yes there are non-players that would need to work to support this, we're almost as cl...

I agree with releasing a bracket. What I’m wondering is, the schools get money based on making the tournament. That money comes from the tv deal. That money supports all the non revenue sports. Did the NCAA just pocket all of that money by not releasing a tournament? Do they still get money from th...

https://mobile.twitter.com/tepingchen/status/1247253003440193537 I feel really bad for these people and I'm so thankful they're still working in these horsefeathers conditions. I learned the other day Trader Joe's does a special hour of operations in the morning just for senior citizens, which is n...

Tonight’s episode was horsefeathering intense. Gilligan brought the heat again as usual. Kim really horsefeathers up tonight, though. One way or another this will lead to her not being around for Breaking Bad. You’d think you’d get sick of “stuck in the desert” episodes but nope this was one of the...

While the numbers are quite inaccurate, the US still had 32k new confirmed cases today. Only 7 other countries have 32k confirmed cases during the entire pandemic. Same thing with deaths. Over 1,300 deaths today. Only 7 countries have more deaths the entire time. Almost 1 death every minute in the U...

Good points from everyone. I guess the first test of whether the new person is a GarPax stooge is how long Boylen is allowed to remain head coach.

https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1246127222966161411 Woj goes on to say that they are likely to find roles for both Gar and Pax to stay on but the new GM has full authority. I'm sorry but you don't have "full authority" if Pax is in an advisory role. Sure you can make that move that Pax ...

For those that have the Athletic, how do you guys typically navigate the site? Sounds like a weird question but I signed up again because they had a 3 month trial offer, and its the same as every time I subscribe. I can never find enough good articles that interest me. But when I'm not signed up, it...

Since I just watched Game 7 again, friendly reminder that KB scored on a sac fly to short LF and scored from first on a single in that game. He put on an absolute base running clinic in Game 7 I just saw a video on YouTube that showed a bunch of star's 1st hits, and I completely forgot that KBs 1st...

I hate Jared Kushner so damn much.

Tom Wambsgans from Succession had to be based off a Kushner.

Must be nice

Coronavirus related firings on the Score today. So far I've seen Julie DiCaro and Connor McKnight post goodbyes. Not sure who is going to take over the Bernstein/McKnight show or if Dan will just being doing it alone. Add David Schuster (Bulls pre/post) and Rick Camp (producer) to the list. Score i...

And people are from what I’ve been seeing.

London games have been cancelled. :( Sucks but expected. I bought tickets to the game but hadnt yet purchased flights to London. It sounds like the London Series agreement was only for 2 years, but since the first one was a big success and I believe this year's game was sold out, hopefully it gets ...

If this was happening closer to the election, the Dems would be screwed. No one gives a horsefeathers about the presidential election right now. Primaries are postponed, there's no debates, no news coverage, etc. So the DNC needs to take this time to get its horsefeathers together and come out guns...

Imagine a world where the President of the United State's biggest takeaway from a global pandemic is how high the ratings for his press conferences are. Unless millions die, he’s still going to defeat Biden easily. Pretty much no matter how bad Trump is, he somehow manages to win in life. Agree sad...

https://twitter.com/DavidNakamura/status/1243667011961413632 Sure we're going through a pandemic that is worse than anything we've experienced in our lifetimes, but yes lets ignore requests for help from the heads of 2 of the 15 biggest states in the country who happen to have amongst the highest nu...
