Lin was the best Cubs fan there was. The guy with his ski goggles on in Section 229 on a cold April day. He had a “No Lights” t-shirt, then quickly got rid of it when he realized more night games meant he could see more baseball at Wrigley. His Opening Day broadcasts were epic.

Lin was the best. The smartest. The funniest. The kindest. The warmest. Beloved. A treasure.
In 2019 Lin Brehmer did a series of video essays for WGN. His words, our pictures. Here is his poignant piece on Ernie Banks. Mr. Brehmer has passed away after a long battle with cancer. Rest in peace, Lin. Truly one of Chicago's Very Own. https://t.co/UfzVgdI5ZZ

Why do I waste hours of every week on the PosCast? Mostly to have @JPosnanski and @KenTremendous educate me about the NBA-worthiness of eggplant, but very now and again, some gray knowledge, like this one about carrots and eyesight.

The British government claimed that eating carrots helped its fighter pilots shoot down German planes at night. In truth, the Royal Air Force relied on top-secret radar

Let us never forget 60 years ago today, justice was denied to Delta Tau Chi in a sham meeting of the Faber College Disciplinary Council.

Justin Fields has rushed for 141 yards so far today after rushing for 178 last week. He would be the first NFL QB with 125+ rushing yards in consecutive games since Tobin Rote had 150 and 131 in consecutive games for the Packers in 1951.

That shot of the Astros dugout chanting “Dusty!” after the clinch was the best thing in an unbelievable sports day.
