Day 2: MichiganMan’s Pick of the Day (1-0) Now We Go!
Spoiler: There is more than 1 pick today After a great showing last night, the Trojans held on for a 10 pt win to cover the -2.5 in a shootout at home. I am going to be honest and I fell asleep after the first half, but they were pouring it on to Iowa in… Read more

TGL Night 2 Recap
Night 2 is underw- and OH MY! TIGER WITH THE HAMMER! Pause. … Pause again. Is this a virtual golf league or one of his infamous Vegas benders? Sup, Rachel Uchitel? Anyway, a hot start for Mr. Woods and Jupiter Golf Links (Tiger, Max Homa, and the People’s Golfer, Kevin Kisner). And when I say hot start, I don’t… Read more

The Buzz in Chicago: BlockBuster is here

Bears Coaching Search – We’ve Ridden This Train Before
It is January 12th, 2025. I wake up to the vibration of my phone on the nightstand to my left and ignore it as I adjust my position, get comfortable under the covers, and pass a little gas (to my wife’s dismay). Another vibration, then another….. and another. The texts are coming in early and… Read more

TGL: Tomorrow’s Golf League – Night 1
Did you know this was even happening? Most probably didn’t. The marketing and noise was rather lackluster up until a couple weeks ago. And honestly, when I first heard of a “simulator golf league,” I nearly went for an AIDS test. Can I say that? I guess we’ll find out. Little did I know Tiger… Read more

Airing It Out – King YABO’s First Blog
Pounding headache, severe dehydration, and contact lenses that were plastered to my eyeballs. What a way to start to start the morning. It’s fitting, really, with what I’m about to share on my sports fandom. Yes, I was blessed with a great childhood and that has continued into adulthood, but what you’re about to read… Read more

Wydo’s Welcome Letter
Welcome all to Better Luck Next Time—a place where seven friends decided to take their group chat to a public domain to air out thoughts in a long-form writing space, in addition to the quick-hitting sighs of despair as we watch our favorite teams. Myself being one of them, I was born into a family… Read more
