@gzr3625 @Bru__ce @CAmandaMKMMA @DavidYankovich The question is why. Politically, Pence would be a better president to the right wing than Trump, and not nearly the burden. Why the GOP blinders on Capitol Hill?

Kevin Warren is wrong. Bears have not played on the lakefront for 100 years. Only since 1971. Wrigley Field was their home 1921-1970.

Pat Fitzgerald was 110-101 over 17 years at Northwestern (5-5 in bowls). A 1-11 record last year didn’t get NU’s trustees antsy. Mistreatment of students did. But only the reporting of The Daily Northwestern forced their hand. Newspapers make a difference.

@richarddeitsch Augusta National member Roger Goodell can solve this by switching CBS to the Sunday night game for one week and give NBC a Sunday of AFC games (like the old days). CBS can show the SEC on Saturday night. Problem solved.

@MarkLazerus I love live television. She's likely working out of her house – like us – with a producer in her ear, a random live shot of an LA fire while she's trying to talk to a reporter in Miami and one waiting in Minny. And some NBC wizard forgets to disable the automatic commercial cue.

When I began covering the @NHLBlackhawks in 1978, there were two legends on the team: Stan Mikita and Tony Esposito. Stan was outgoing, Tony kept to himself until after retirement. Both were incomparable players. Now both are gone. As is part of our youth. R.I.P. Tony.

Tony Esposito dead at 78 of pancreatic cancer. No goalie won more games with the @NHLBlackhawks than Tony O. Nobody had more shutouts – including 15 in one season. What a goalie. What a life. What a loss. Condolences to his family, and his hockey family, which is all of us.
