It can't be a coincidence that we have Chicago Pope and the Bears have more wins than Detroit, Minnesota, and Green Bay.

Two things confirmed today: the Blackhawks are a good hockey team, and don't turn on the Bears until the final five minutes of the game.

Make that five goals and nine assists in Bedard's last SEVEN games (he had a third primary assist tonight and I can't count).

This is getting silly.
GOAL: Bedard to Bertuzzi again, this time on a 2-on-1. 2-0 Blackhawks.

There's magic disappearing and reappearing Bertuzzi again.

I was confused when Stefanik announced. This line of attack is pretty obvious, and, as evidenced by how brutal the GOP did in Jerz, going to work like a charm. But she's savvy, so she's going to lose bigly for what, Cabinet post? Ambassadorship? Make more rich friends?

It tells you everything you need to know about Donald Trump that he did absolutely nothing while someone was in duress.
He just watched.

Bertuzzi has got some kind of magic shit going on that he just disappears in the crease and the defense is oblivious until it's too late.

Why are we never going to learn about analyzing exit polling in real time?
Is it really too much to ask for all the votes to be counted and the validation steps taken before we obsess?

Thank God we're almost done with having to spend attention on NYC Mayor. It is the one point of the election cycle where everyone overreacts about something that just doesn't matter outside of that city.

There is a lot of water there I guess?
Pumped-hydro storage ... in the ocean!
(I remain skeptical of all ocean-based anything -- it's rough out there! -- but I think eventually someone's going to crack it.)

YES! This the way.
The head coach as the superstar is moronic in the NIL era. You need to raise money, spend wisely, and make portal adjustments based on who screws up points 1 and 2.
It's not about maximizing recruiting the same way anymore when allocating the money gives you the ultimate edge.

Re: Brian Kelly’s firing, I think in the new world schools should be spending more on the GM and NIL and less on the head coach, but Florida/LSU/Penn State won’t be the first to try that. That’s for an A’s/Rays-type school to try out.
