  • The video and audio sync between Marquee and WSCR on MLB.TV is exceptional tonight. Always great to be able to watch the game while listening to Pat and Ron and hearing the ball hit the catcher’s glove in perfect harmony.

  • As the cameras pulled back from Anfield to show the neighborhood around the stadium, it becomes crystal clear why English football is so special. All of these teams, regardless of how big, are just neighborhood teams. They are part of the community – just another neighbor.

    There are a few examples of this in the US with Wrigley Field being an obvious one. Other leagues and teams can learn a thing or two by watching the celebrations in Liverpool today.

  • It seems a bit short-sighted on Apple’s part to only provide support for the excellent Apple Sports app on the iPhone. With their larger screens, there is massive potential for incredible user experiences on the iPad and Mac, and it seems logical to add similar experiences to the TV app on the Apple TV. It would be great to filter down for My Teams, My Leagues, or specific conferences or leagues when trying to find a game or tournament.

    With these features being so seemingly obvious, I can only assume they are on Apple’s roadmap or backlog. Let’s hope so anyway.

  • After a long winter, it’s finally here. That magical, mystical day when everything is possible. The future is wide open. Hope springs eternal. It’s Opening Day!

    So, if life or work has you down, remember, your team is tied for first place, and summer is right around the corner.

    *And yes, I realize my Cubs are in a 0-2 hole thanks to the most expensive team in baseball, but I’m just going to pretend those games didn’t happen.

  • That’s not the wind chill, folks!

    But, there is good news on this frigid morning. It’s Opening Day of Spring Training so somewhere much warmer than here, the Boys of Summer will be at a park playing ball, and summer is inching closer.

  • Rooting for the Irish tonight. As an Iowa Hawkeye and Illinois native, there is no way I can possibly root for The Ohio State University. It just makes absolutely no logical sense.

  • It’s been a rough year for the Chicago Bears, but any win against the Packers is a good win. This is especially true when it hasn’t happened since 2018!

    We also got to see some promising signs from Caleb Williams in Green Bay which is a daunting place even for the most veteran of veterans. There is a lot of hope for the future!

  • When you look at Caleb’s performance as a rookie quarterback, it should give every Bears fan hope for the future. This assumes, of course, that the McCaskey family is tired of losing. Papa Bear has to be rolling in his grave knowing his daughter and grand children have turned his Monsters of the Midway into the laughing stock of the NFL.

    Caleb has every right to demand more from the team that is expecting him to be the savior of the franchise.

  • It’s time for the Bears to bring in the Joe Maddon of NFL coaches. They already have their Jon Lester in Caleb Williams. They have the pieces in place. It’s time to go big and spend big on a coach that put all of these moving parts together. Let’s go Bears!
