CHICAGO BULLS: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
The incompetence of this front office is reaching peak levels of embarrassment. I should have known better—it’s a Reinsdorf-run franchise—but wow. Did anyone have trade Zach LaVine, keep everyone else, and extend Lonzo Ball on their bingo card? I mean… What. The. Fuck. What is this guy doing? Artūras Karnišovas got this job because he… Read more

Bulls Apart of Three Team Blockbuster Trade
Yesterday, Sunday the 2nd, I decided, as hungover as I was, that I would attend Sunday Mass with my fiancée. You know, she’s converting to Catholicism so we can get married in a Catholic Church, so I probably should hop back on that horse on a more consistent basis. One hour too. Just one hour!… Read more

Booking a wedding venue, planning a move to our next apartment, finding out if there will be more layoffs at my 2nd job (this being my first), running two online College Football 25 dynasties.

It’s BJ Day in Chicago
Still in disbelief. Had one meeting today and it was at 2:30 right when Adam Schefter tweeted out that Ben Johnson will be the next Chicago Bears Head Coach. I am so glad. Relieved. So many great words to express my feelings on a day known as “Blue Monday”. This “holiday” (not MLK day) is… Read more

Sammy Sosa Returns: Cubs Con & New Uniforms
Some offseason Cubs news came this week! Sammy Sosa is back as Cubs Con kicks off, we got new alternate uniforms, and Kyle Tucker ends up not taking us to court in the second month of him being a Cub. I actually like these unis, and they grow on me the more I look at… Read more

Balloonerism by Mac Miller
Malcolm McCormick’s estate released his second posthumous album, Balloonerism, last night. This was from the time period when he made FACES and was “off of this planet,” according to his own words looking back on that year. Mac Miller has been one of my favorite artists for a while now—not the snapback, Donald Trump, frat… Read more

Wydo’s MLB Hall of Fame Ballot Breakdown
One week in and I’m already drawing writer’s block as I sit in a cubicle working my 9-5. Today I will be breaking down the MLB Hall of Fame ballots and playing an MLB writer minus the historical curmudgeoness that comes from that responsibility. Is curmudgeoness a word? I don’t know, but you know what… Read more

Post Wild Card Weekend Coaching Predictions
And just like that, Fat Face is out of Dallas. Jerry Jones, 82, has decided to cut ties with Mike McCarthy in a shocking turn of events, especially after reports suggested he would be getting an extension. At this point, though, you can’t really be surprised by anything Jerry Jones does. He’s an 82-year-old owner… Read more
