I didn't get to know David Kaplan super well here at NBC Sports Chicago, but one time, he helped me and a coworker get a reservation at RPM Steak. When we asked for the (not small) check, the staff informed us that
@thekapman
had already footed the entire bill.
No one has to publicly bash Tony. But Jose Abreu still calling him “a good manager and leader” and saying fans “aren’t in the clubhouse” is a little insulting.
A. Fans aren’t blind
B. Who cares what’s happening in the clubhouse if the vibes aren’t translating on the field
My contribution to smashing the patriarchy is referring to Liam Hendriks as “Kristi’s husband” not once but twice in this article.
Anyways, I wrote a lovely little story about these two.
The White Sox have finally faced the jarring, permanent consequences of failure. And if there’s any hope of salvaging what’s left of the rebuild next season, they better take it personally.
“I had to take a driving test when I [came] over [to America]. I won’t have to take a test if I want to get a gun. That’s stupid. Whoever thought that was a great idea is an idiot.” – Liam Hendriks
I gotta say, Nightengale’s report that the Sox clubhouse has problems is probably the coldest tea I’ve ever heard. Like, even I could have reported that.

If there’s a specific issue with his leg(s), fine. I get that, of course. But a recommended day of rest right after the All-Star break with off days tomorrow and Thursday for a 24-year-old professional athlete is bizarre.
I know women, as a whole, are more mentally stable than men solely based on the way Taylor Swift fans are so excited to see content of Travis Kelce at the Eras Tour vs. the way football fans react to seeing content of Taylor Swift on ESPN
I have the most obnoxious superiority complex from witnessing Joel Embiid firsthand at Kansas because we were all like “low key, he’s better than Wiggins” and no one believed us.
Proactive move from Tony La Russa, who had Jimmy Lambert readying last inning, and pulls Michael Kopech after a one-out walk in a one-run game, in the midst of facing the middle of the order a third time.
Had such a fabulous time w/

We laughed. We cried. We drank. I attempted to sing the alphabet. It’s a great listen👇

Whether Getz is "qualified" to run a big league operation is largely irrelevant. We're all capable succeeding until we don't.
The question is whether or not Getz is a byproduct of the flawed system he helped create.
For NBC Sports Chicago:
Wednesday’s game is actually a great GOAT test for LeBron, because we know Michael Jordan would already have Patrick Beverley’s murder mapped out before leaving the stadium tonight.
If you're going to the Bears-Bills game tomorrow (unhinged behavior btw), DM me some "day in the life" type content!
How are you preparing? What's it like at Soldier Field? Etc

I lost some weight for a destination wedding this month. The couple broke up, but I look fuckin great, so I’m calling their engagement a major success.
I don’t keep kosher, nor do I keep kosher for Passover, but I will be snacking on nothing but matzah with butter for the next 4 weeks.
And that, my friends, is the story of how the Jews escaped from the land of Egypt.
This is my annual plea for beat reporters to live-tweet on a 20-second delay.
You do not win an award for being the first person to tweet that Eloy Jimenez grounded out. Y’all are ahead of the game feed and on my LAST NERVE.
He’s wrong for proposing shirtless at a sporting event in front of thousands of people.
She’s wrong because she should have said yes to save them both the embarrassment and then pulled him aside privately to reject the proposal.
No one knows how to act in this wretched society.
If the NFL is going to actively promote betting on their product, the league should impose legitimate consequences (suspensions, fines) on officials for missed/incorrect calls imo
@SandorBogdan14
If they start winning games right now, they won’t have to worry about “sneaking in” at the last minute. You play to win the games in front on you. You don’t plan/manage for hypothetical scenarios
I’m not gonna knock an org for gun-violence prevention and raising awareness, but tactically adding “while the issue complicated..” so you don’t alienate the idiots who don’t support any sort of gun legislation is so annoying to me.
The White Sox are committed to seeking innovative solutions to gun violence. While the issue is complicated, the organization is passionate about raising awareness, sharing information, and supporting prevention resources that help create a safer community.
There’s two people standing right next to each other on Michigan Avenue, one is wearing a sports bra & spandex shorts and the other is wearing a Canada Goose parka.
“stuff” has got to be the worst lingo in all of sports
A pitcher comes in with a 6.81 ERA “but has fantastic stuff”
So… he has the ability to throw a great pitch but probably won’t. How charming!
Believe me when I tell you how much care

and the producers put into this show.
No matter the circumstance, everyone showed up every single day this season and did their damndest to give fans a place to feel seen and something to smile about.
Ugh I love downtown Chicago right now. Taylor Swift weekend is just a mass collection of the happiest, cutest people you will ever encounter.
It’s like a Super Bowl parade but with better outfits.
Topanga was a force of nature – insanely smart, stunning, level-headed (most of the time), fiercely loyal and an amazing friend. That bitch got into YALE.
Kelly Kapowski was just really really hot.
Therefore, I'm calling it a tie.
For what it’s worth, my primary care physician, who I saw for my annual last week, doesn’t think Justin Fields is the guy.
Also, my bloodwork came back normal.
The Chiefs lose a heartbreaker and Taylor Swift just had a weekend from hell on tour.
America’s couple is being tested. Will they overcome the adversity??
Sports journalists think they’re going to win a Pulitzer Prize for tweeting something that we’re all about to be told straight to our faces within a matter of minutes.
And I say that lovingly.

I wish I could call “too many men” like a hockey ref in every day life. Like when I’m at the gym I just blow a whistle and yell “TOO MANY MEN” and then at least five of them have to leave.
