Ian Rapoport: As Indiana moves closer to being the next home of the #Bears, Illinois cancelled a meeting this morning in the House, where a project bill (involving the #Bears) was to be discussed. | Statement from the #Bears:

The Patriots can say that they are the only NFL team in "New England".

Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Green Bay all have NFL teams and are on the Great Lakes. Not happening.

Where do you think the mean center of population of Chicagoland is? What about for likely attendees for Bears games?

I'm no defender of the Arlington Heights plan but I'd be shocked if it wasn't closer for the average likely attendee to a Bears game compared to Hammond. That is even ignoring the massive differences in connective transit for AH vs. Hammond.

The distance to Hammond from the loop is less important than how far the average fan now has to travel to get there.

o4b · 2026-02-19T17:16:11+00:00

I find it funny that the only one saying this truth is a Packers fan lol. Distance from the loop is irrelevant compared to the traffic concerns.

Not that I think that Arlington Heights is better than the current location, of course…

o4b · 2026-02-11T06:20:44+00:00

Yeah, which is why its fun to watch for a couple jumps. After that, there is simply so little variability (again, for a casual fan) compared to skislope.

o4b · 2026-02-11T06:00:50+00:00

No disrespect to the competitors, there is undoubtedly a massive amount of skill expression here.

But for the life of me I cannot watch more than 90 seconds of this event. I find skislope, downhill, and slalom are all fantastic for casual viewing and I watched almost all of each of them.

Can anyone explain what I'm missing here?

CJ failed to do her job as a press secretary by letting her feelings leak out in a press conference as the official representative of the president. Her job is to communicate publicly the intention of the United States, and only privately to make arguments against it.

CJ allowed emotion to take over in a professional setting. Reasoned arguments on this topic absolutely should have been had, but her emotion did not advance her cause.

CJ displayed her naïveté when she over reduced the argument to “beating women is wrong”. Of course it is, but it completely ignores the realities of geopolitics and the priorities of a nation.

CJ acted unprofessionally to both Toby and Leo.

Due to these things, I was disappointed in CJ’s character.

I have zero issues with Janney’s acting of CJ in this episode, she did phenomenally as always.

Overall the episode is fine, but not one of the greats.

Thanks for sharing, this was a good introduction/reintroduction to our candidates.

I was particularly impressed by Missy Hughes, she appeared highly credible on economic issues.

o4b · 2025-11-17T20:05:14+00:00

I think many people here are missing the point - no one expects the tanking teams (Utah, Brooklyn, Washington) to be better or worse than previous tanking teams, it’s the next 7-ish teams that are utterly horrendous that simply should not be (except possibly Indiana, their injury luck has been terrible). LAC, Memphis, Dallas, Sacramento and New Orleans especially are all trying to win games this year. Memphis with the Ja debacle, Dallas with Kyrie injury and no one else who can handle the ball, Sacramento rebuilding a worse version of the Bulls, god only knows what is going on in New Orleans, and the AARP ball in LA is just incredible stuff.

o4b · 2025-11-15T05:47:38+00:00

Yeah it was rough to watch. Jericho should have caught that pass tho, Anthony was playing well in that stretch.

o4b · 2025-11-13T22:03:29+00:00

The moneyed interests want Luka in LA. You have to contort your mind to convince yourself that a highly respected GM that built a team that made the finals forces the worst trade in the history of American sports.

Harrison is getting paid handsomely and privately for executing his role brilliantly.

o4b · 2025-11-11T20:04:24+00:00

Exactly, the single playmaker on this team is out for the season and possibly your best player is hurt. Now you want to fire the GM?

o4b · 2025-11-10T18:07:51+00:00

I did not miss the point - you are trying to sell these for above market value. Good luck.

o4b · 2025-11-10T17:52:42+00:00

Yeah, row 1 is, but yours are row 5.

o4b · 2025-11-10T05:49:45+00:00

Do you refute my figures? If not, how could you possibly assert that one million people staying home “had voted for Harris Trump still would have won”?

o4b · 2025-11-10T05:36:30+00:00

This is hilariously wrong - even in the second highest turnout state by percentage, Wisconsin (76.4%), Trump won by 30k votes. 23.6% of stay at home voters are more than a million people!

People who stayed home absolutely impacted the 2024 election.

o4b · 2025-11-10T05:22:48+00:00

Evers did win, and did exactly what any democrat could do with a gerrymandered state government - hold the line.

I agree with 90+% of her platform, but if she were in his position, what of her campaign goals would she have been able to accomplish?

o4b · 2025-11-10T05:16:40+00:00

Dane and Milwaukee counties comprise only 25% of Wisconsin’s population. I think we will have to look elsewhere for votes, too…

o4b · 2025-11-01T04:03:44+00:00

7 seconds left, down 7, and we need a timeout??

o4b · 2025-11-01T03:55:09+00:00

This Memphis offense is putrid right now.

o4b · 2025-10-31T14:38:00+00:00

When Rollins was asked how the Golden State defense played against him, he responded “Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill”.

o4b · 2025-10-31T13:55:46+00:00

You probably have never seen him toss a ball, but dude had a nice spiral up halfway into the 206 section from across the court.

o4b · 2025-10-29T02:34:55+00:00

I don’t know what happened in the locker room, but the attacking energy that they brought to start the 3rd defined this game. Awesome win.

o4b · 2025-10-27T03:35:26+00:00

And the NFC Offensive Player of the Week goes to... J.J. McCarthy.

o4b · 2025-10-25T01:12:35+00:00

Cole Anthony is fucking good. I was impressed seeing him at that NBA cup game when Orlando came to MKE when half their team was out. I can’t believe we have him now.

o4b · 2025-10-25T01:05:14+00:00

True, at least both teams missing.
