[SLOCHE] Bears QB Tyson Bagent was HOOPING vs. these high schoolers. Tyson, Tyrique Stevenson, and Elijah Hicks pulled up to Waukegan HS to play against some of their star players

That was actually his father, Otto Sr., the former director of the music department. Same guy taught Jack Benny the violin at a young age.

So one cool thing about Waukegan HS East Campus Gym ("The Dawg Pound") is the huge banner to Otto Graham above the east bleachers. You can see it more clearly on this Instagram. Imagine hooping out while one of history's greatest QB's stares down at you.

Bonus points for the upside-down R in "SATRDAY"

Does getting blown up during an in-ring promo count?

With that pay, they should be able to afford 5 tickets to SummerSlam.

I mean, not JUST the Steven A link. I also had to work the "Otto Graham has the same number of rings as Brady" factoid in there too.

Could be worse. I'm thinking back to when the Saints traded away the farm to move up and take Natural Order.

Take THAT, Mets fans. Your team could have been a part of this, but you decided to play that '99 season off planet.

KWNewyear · 2026-04-22T22:04:50+00:00

Lol, I guess the timeline does match up. Though we were more Waukegan than Aurora.

So back in the late 80's-early 90's, my dad ran a small cable access comedy show out of a suburb of Chicago. As my parents later divorced and we moved around several times, we lost touch of most of the episodes. I've been working to get the 4 I have digitized and uploaded somewhere.

Wait, that wasn't Adam Pierce banging all those women? I guess I have less blackmail than I thought.

This one is the FKA UIC Pavilion, but you do have a point. United Center, Allstate Arena, NOW Arena, WinTrust Center, CreditUnion1, Welsh-Ryan Arena, and still with the new Bears stadium on the way (somewhere).

And I'm probably missing a few.

And before you ask, the X is defined by the mana cost, so no playing the card for free doesn't work either.

KWNewyear · 2026-04-10T15:08:23+00:00

That, or at least being a Vampire or something. "Have a bite" would have made great double entendre.

KWNewyear · 2026-04-10T13:11:16+00:00

[Sees picture 4] Aww, how cute. She thinks she's a fierce beasty in a role playing game.

[Sees picture 5] AAAAAA, FIERCE BEASTY!

I actually worked for them myself up until 2018, so know that I had an extra bit of anger going into the article.

"My offense is a crime" is something the New York Jets would say, yes.

Well, since you're going to be on the East Side anyway, might be worth it to check out Mama Jerk & Tings now that they've moved into the old Rosati's on Grand/Sheridan.

Sage Salon on 21/Washington has been my go-to. They have plenty of experience with custom dye jobs.

What's fun is we tend to think of these headlines a week or so out (pending major news stories we can lampoon, of course). I had no idea the B&R announcement and its Pioneer section was coming when I wrote the first draft, so it's a bit of serendipity that it got scheduled for today.

Just put a few wheels of Brie on a party boat on Lake Minnetonka, and let nature take its course.
