I need your help. My daughter-in-law’s brother died on his 32nd birthday 10 days ago. He battled a brain tumor since age 16 + leaves behind a beautiful 2 1/2 year-old daughter + because of his diagnosis at age 16 no life insurance. Please help if you can.

I spoke with people from the Cubs. The man who grabbed the ball on the widely seen video had actually already helped the little boy get a ball earlier. The young man has a game used ball and a Javy Baez ball. All is well. Guy is A-OK so let it go people.

When the Bears interviewed Dan Quinn in 2022, they flew him to Chicago in coach. As a current NFL executive said to me today, 31 other teams either bring you in on the owners jet or they charter a plane. Chicago wouldn’t even pay for a first class ticket. And you expect them to

Rough night. My mom passed away last night after a long illness. My brother Bruce + I got to hold her hand in her final moments. She was an amazing person. I feel lost. You’re never ready when it happens even though you know what’s coming. Thank you for the kind messages. ❤️

A week into isolation + it's upsetting for me to witness my wife at the living room window staring aimlessly into space w/tears running down her cheeks. It breaks my ❤️ to see her this way I've thought of how I can cheer her up. I've considered letting her in. But rules are rules

Beyond disappointing the Cubs offer to Jon Lester came very late in the process and was not close to the money the Washington Nationals offered. That is not how you take care of the greatest free agent signing in team history and one of the two best in Chicago sports history.

Postgame after Game 6 of the World Series. At the end of the show, Ryne said to us “I’ll be here tomorrow for pre-game. But, when we win the World Series I’m celebrating w/the team.” And he said it with confidence. R.I.P. Ryno. You were a Hall of Famer in every way. ❤️❤️

Ok, everyone who is tweeting that the Bears should have let Minnesota win needs to stop. To win the Super Bowl you have to beat very good teams. If you can't win a first round game at home it won't matter. Just let them turn this defense loose on whoever they play. #TakeThat

Did Coleston Loveland make the trip to Detroit? Or are he and Luther Burden both on vacation? Hello?

Mike Pereira just said you cannot use the boundary cam on a coaches challenge because not every stadium has it. But if it’s a scoring review, you can use the boundary cam. That might be the single stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

Expect Dansby Swanson to finalize a deal with the Chicago Cubs tonight. They are finalizing it as we speak and are very close to an agreement. #TakeThat.

George McCaskey has accomplished what I thought was impossible. He has sunk to a new low. This is as embarrassing a presentation as I have ever seen. And for him to rip Olin Kreutz and to call him a liar? George, you should be ashamed of yourself. Pathetic is being kind.
