This is awesome! Isaiah has worked really hard to get to this point, and getting voted the Jets' MVP is a true blessing. @wischlist @HawleySports @UofIPackWSFan @ErikaHarold @LisaPierce__

This. ESPN and FS1 have built their audiences largely off this "debate" concept. Whatever happened to shows like ESPN's "The Sports Reporters" and "Outside The Lines"? I loved them b/c those featured pure sports journalists who made fans critically think.

I have began to strongly dislike "Debate TV"! It becomes nonsensical most days! Whether Sports, Politics or any other topic, "Discussion TV" would be so much more digestible! Unfortunately, arguing seems to draw folks. Add in some ignorance & it must sell even better!! 🤦🏾‍♂🤷🏾‍♂

Wow, is Indiana making a statement or what tonight?! The Hoosiers have taken Alabama to the woodshed and then some. Sheer dominance.

I’ll tell you what, no other U.S. city does fireworks for special events like Chicago. The shows on Wacker Drive and at Navy Pier are terrific.

The local NYE show ABC7 Chicago had was great. Enjoyed watching the playful back-and-forth with Janet Davies and Mark Giangreco.

If the Bulls had a typical front office, this would be an easy answer: yes. But Arturas Karnisovas is not your typical basketball executive. I’d wager he’ll say “competitive integrity” and not do anything of substance to start the process - much like the past two trade deadlines.

Another going-nowhere Bulls season takes a big injury blow. No Giddey for weeks, White potentially reaggravating his calf injury from earlier in the year. Will this finally force the Bulls to look in the mirror and start selling off pieces for future assets?

I’d do two kneeldowns, then kick the field goal. Don’t give the Vols time.

Offense will need to respond again as the defense has really struggled the last two drives. Gotta get off the field in third and long situations, simple as that.

Terrific response by the Illini after the Tennessee touchdown. Exactly what was required.

Oh, heck yeah, I’d do this if I’m the Bears. Secondary needs help for the playoffs.

If you want to watch the conclusion, go to YouTube and type in “York Sports Network”. It has all of the @JackToshHC games; the production is excellent.
