Recap
The Bears will likely end up in Arlington Heights despite the Indiana stadium news
The Indiana has voted to go forward with taking the bears. Having the Bears, holding the Bears in Hammond. While it doesn't actually mean anything, because I still think they're gonna be in Arlington Heights. It is the closest they've ever been to potentially finding a place.
In 20 years, everyone will regret the decision to put every NFL stadium indoors
I firmly have, have come around to the idea that in 20 years from now, we are all going to regret the fact that we put every single stadium indoors.
Hosting a Super Bowl is not worth it for a city long-term financially
If you look at the, the long term like financial impacts of hosting Super Bowl, it's not worth it. It's not, it's stupid. It's really not. You just, it Same thing with the Olympics or the World Cup. You just bend over backwards for people.
The Super Bowl should just rotate back and forth between Las Vegas and New Orleans permanently
No city should bend over backwards to try to get a Super Bowl if they're not already capable of handling it... The Super Bowl should at this point just be Vegas back and forth. New Orleans. Vegas. I'd be fine with that.
Mick Cronin screaming at a reporter is great for the college basketball brand
I fucking love Mick Cronin... But I, we've had this take, whether it be with Danny Hurley or any coach that freaks out, this is what college basketball is, is the best at. Is these guys are the most maladjusted adults possible.
My 'dinner simulator' habit of building food orders and not buying them is a sign of good self-control
Instead of going and making myself a snack or making myself food or ordering food, I'll just pull up the apps, Uber Eats... and I'll just like put together an order of what I would order if I were to get something. And then I clear my cart and I go to bed... It's really good self-control.
The NIL situation at Kansas shows you can't just throw money at a roster and expect the pieces to fit
It's nice to know that you can't just throw money at like a roster and expect it to be awesome and have every piece fit... You gotta have guys who actually wanna play, who wanna buy in. And Kansas still could go very far... but it is nice to know that you have to actually like get culture.
Darren Peterson looks like he doesn't actually like playing basketball
My number one indicator would be like, this guy does not seem to like basketball. Like it might just be something he's really good at that he doesn't care to do.
The Seahawks sale will set a record price
I feel like this, this sale is going to set a record. Oh yeah. Especially considering they're coming off a Super Bowl right now. Oh yeah. It's gonna be crazy. How, how much money is spent on the Seahawks.
Interview
Connor McDavid is playing the best hockey of his career in this Olympic tournament
I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good... It's incredible. Like I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the Finnish coach today said, yeah, McDavid is the best player in this tournament by a mile.
The NHL should move to a longer 3-on-3 overtime to avoid shootouts
I actually think that they should move to a longer three on three. Even if you added two extra minutes... I think would, would make a lot more games end in in in overtime as opposed to going to a shootout.
Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury is likely an MCL sprain
He was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain... I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, maybe two MCL sprain.
Team USA has a better defensive corps than Canada, but Canada has significantly better forwards
The D's better overall. I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours... Crosby being out, it's scary. And if he's out, that's a big difference... On D our D's better, their forwards are better.
Fyre Fest
I bet on the Celtics at 15-to-1 odds to win the NBA Finals
I I did put a bet on the Celtics... 15 to one. Oh Nice. Yeah. That's huge... I swear to God I wasn't even thinking about bringing it up.
I am facing a potential '10-day termination' from my apartment after a meeting with my landlord
Had a really constructive meeting with my building... but he introduced a new term. I was not familiar with a 10 day termination... next time it's like, it's a 10 day legal 10 day. Wow. I didn't know 10 day was a thing.
