POPEHAT SIGNAL: Pro Bono counsel sought in Chicago, for the cause of right over the cause of evil. Potential client is out-of-state and indigent. Opponent is abusing Illinois’ pre-litigation discovery process to harass and abuse her and likely to dox her. The details are insane.

Drew McIntyre has been a WWE world champion 4 times now and--this seems impossible but I think it's true--this is the first time he has ever walked out as a champion in front of fans. I think he deserves to savor it a bit!

It's praise @thetransferflow.bsky.social time again. I admire anyone who admits the gaps in their methodology. (As someone whose interest in football is defense and goalies, I notice that a lot of the metrics most frequently used don't really work for them.)
Guehi to City makes a ton of sense. It's a great move for all parties.
