New followers, I mostly tweet about sports (Illini, White Sox, Bears) hating on the #UnPresident and nonsense. If you're not a fan of those things then you are following the wrong cat. Everybody else, you're stuck with me

Clay Travis claims The Cheesecake Factory was a childhood luxury. Except it didn't open in Nashville until he was 26. @Timodc and @PabloTorre investigate the curious case of his restaurant nostalgia: “We are now swift boating Clay Travis for Cheesecake Factory stolen valor.”

I listened to this whole thing. Dan wasn’t unfair to John. You may not like the word choice, but that is also what I heard about John’s first year. @jon_greenberg pretty much said, in nice words, the same thing in his piece today!
“Schriffen was an a**hole and pissed off a lot of hard working nice people when he walked in.” @dan_bernstein reacts to John Schriffen being out as the White Sox play-by-play announcer on today’s DBU

Another new announcer won't erase the #WhiteSox' unconscionable decision to let Jason Benetti go. Let's just hope the guy isn't another dick. Also Rob Manfred's failed pivot, too much Peyton Manning, and Noa Essengue might still be good? DBU on @312SportsChi. Links below.

.@SoxMachine nailed it with this quote. He missed the Cleveland series in mid-September due to illness. Missed the Royals clinching series because of a BJJ event. Felt like John had a shell he was comfortable hiding in. When he felt push back, he’d retreat back in.
I mean…was Schriffen even sick in late September or just upset about not being re-upped? Ditching potential (and inevitably) clinching games for a UFC APEX event feels like a middle finger.

In Boston, Jaylen Brown was perceived by many as the Robin to Jayson Tatum’s Batman. In truth, though, they became interchangeable depending on the situation. They were the Jays, the dynamic duo. But what happens when Robin wants to be Batman? nytimes.com/athletic/7727460…

Only the White Sox would search from one end of Guaranteed Rate Field to the other for a GM and do a "national search" for a play-by-play announcer. Just hire Connor McKnight. He's earned the shot.
The White Sox have informed John Schriffen that his contract will not be extended as the club’s lead play-by-play announcer.   A national search for his replacement will begin immediately.

I'm an American Jew. Opposing the Israeli government doesn't mean you hate Jews, especially when that government is abandoning Jewish values. Just like opposing the U.S. government doesn't mean you hate America, especially when that government is abandoning American values. Yes, there's a real concern that anti-Israel sentiment can very quickly turn into antisemitic sentiment. And we need to be vigilant. But that doesn't mean blind loyalty and purity tests and locking down free speech. Jews are not monolithic; no people is. But we're a people that embrace nuance and erudition and free speech and thoughtful, passionate, learned, open debate. And we need that more than ever these days.

#Illini Bret Bielema was emotional talking to the media about his dad, Arnie, who passed away yesterday. He called him “the most influential man in my life.” Said he wouldn’t be here without him. Added, “he was Illinois through and through.” Prayers going your way, Coach. 💙🧡
