Was so lucky to get to work with Stacey the last few years. The energy and joy he brought on the air was authentic and infectious, you couldn't help but have fun working with Stacey.
Thoughts to his family and loved ones. RIP
The only positive today is that the NFL shifted this game to noon so there were 8 other games to distract us rather than just 3.

Only two men have individually led the Bears to an NFL/Super Bowl Championship as head coach:
George Halas
Mike Ditka
(Hunk Anderson and Luke Johnsos co-coached the team to the 1943 title).
This is only the eighth time in franchise history the Bears have scored 59 points in the first TWO games of a season and the first since the 2006 Super Bowl season.

August 28, 1996: The NBA is suing AOL and Stats Inc. for providing real-time game scores and stats without permission.
The National Basketball Association won a similar suit against Motorola and its "NBA Sports Trax" service in July of 1996.
The Bulls will host the defending champions on NBC for the first time since January 22, 1995 (100-81 win over Houston).

After more than a decade of rebuilding the team to play a more "modern," "slick," "attractive" style, in the moment where it had to all pay off...
1 - None of the #USMNT's seven shots against Belgium on Monday had a build-up of more than one pass before the attempt.
Disrupted.

Genuinely, how much better is this Heat roster post-trade than the Bucks were before the trade (assuming a healthy/motivated Giannis for both)?

175 - 🇺🇸 Chris Richards has completed 97.8% of his passes at the FIFA World Cup (175/179).
That is the second best accuracy by a player in their first two appearances on record since 1966 (min. 100 passes), behind 🇷🇴 Gheorghe Popescu in 1994 (122/124 - 98.4%).
Accomplished.
Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, Victor Wembanyama and Jalen Brunson are the guys who led their teams to the last 3 NBA Finals.
They are the current generation in the NBA even if the league keeps putting LeBron, Steph and KD on Christmas.

Wemby is an eventuality, but for now, Derrick Rose (2008) remains the most recent number one pick to win an MVP in his career.
Breaking: Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has won his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award, becoming the 14th player in league history to win back-to-back MVPs, multiple sources tell ESPN.

The argument against this reform from team executives seems to be they think they're not competent enough to lead their team into the top 27 of the NBA without being gifted a top 3 pick.
If you don't believe you can do that, maybe you shouldn't be running an NBA team.
NBA tanking reform is coming. But it's not entirely popular across teams around the league as some execs see it as changing one set of issues for another. The view from Chicago, from @sam_amick and me:
