Blackhawks vs. Red Wings!
When I was a kid, my friends and I always thought that if the Tigers, Lions, Wings, and Pistons ever won their respective championships at the same time, the world would come to an end. That might’ve been true, but since the Lions will never win the Superbowl, I think we’re safe.
Anyhoo, this is the series everybody in Chicago wanted to see. Go Hawks!
Compare & Contrast
My Bromance
Much has been said about the extraordinary young man that is Kirk Cousins.
People have used terms like classy, solid, well-spoken, down-to-earth, genuine, and Christian. These are all things that Kirk is and continues to be, despite the attention he gets.

Yesterday afternoon an unidentified individual delivered a box containing a goat’s head to Wrigley Field, addressed to Cubs’ owner Tom Ricketts. I’ll spare you the bizarre back-story about the goat; you can read about it here.
This current goat-related kerfuffle seems to center around the Cub’s troubles getting much needed renovations to Wrigley underway. Anyone who has even driven by it knows the place is a dump. A powerful alderman who represents the residents around Wrigley, and the deep-pocketed “roof-top” owners who put him in office, don’t want the Ricketts family—ya know, the people who actually own the Cubs and the ballpark—to mess with their, ahem, golden goat.
