I recently learned about using a French press to make your own barrel-aged stout variants. I used a Central Waters BA Stout & 2 Oreo cookies infused for about 30 minutes. It was okay....it didn't pick up much Oreo flavor. I think I need more time and/or cookies. It'll be fun to experiment.

If you see this, post a gif from one of your comfort shows.

I present a perfect black & tan.

The #Lions lined up in 12 personnel more than any team last season and were effective when doing so. The #Bears need to add another tight end so Ben Johnson can operate this new version of his offense as he sees fit. Check out my latest article. ⬇️ nicholasmoreano.substack.com/p/the-chicag...

How Ben Johnson's background - from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville to UNC and eventually Detroit - shaped the new #Bears coach's rise. 'Looking back, it makes complete sense. He’s the smartest football mind in the room.' www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/09/c...

I understand that the price of eggs is going through the roof. I'm offering 2 dozen of my backyard's finest in exchange for a bottle of Pappy 15. No low ball offers...I know what I've got here.

Happy Saturday!

The US is about to become a hellscape, but today we enjoyed some smoked wings & bacon-wrapped string cheese. Happy Sunday!

Really excited for this one. Bobby does great work and the Bears FINALLY have an offensive play caller worth discussing!

SB59 line opens at Eagles +6 / Refs -6. Go Eagles.

Mahomes got sacked with no flag?!?!?! I demand an investigation! 😂😂😂

Stop what you're doing right now & listen to this. It's a banger. I can't believe how candid Johnson's agent was.

Celebratory beverage in the wrong style glass but with the right message!

Ben Johnson......LFG!!!!!

Severance is so fucking good.

Wild-card weekend featured many of the coaches the #Bears have requested to interview for their head coaching vacancy. Who stood out? 👀 I shared my thoughts in my latest video. youtu.be/bJAc19erF6M?...

I support this contract & recommend a 10 year extension.

One thing is for certain as the Chicago Bears continue through this high-stakes search for their next head coach: They have lost the benefit of the doubt. 📝 @danwiederer.bsky.social

I need a vehicle but am completely undecided on new or used; sedan, SUV, or truck; gas, diesel, electric, or hybrid; and haven't given much thought to what options I'd like. So I'm going to test-drive 30 dissimilar vehicles & make a gut decision. This post is about the Bears HC search.

The #Bears had their year-end press conferences on Tuesday, and @billtzimmerman.bsky.social has a lot of concerns based on what he heard from all three men: Ryan Poles, Kevin Warren, and George McCaskey. Check out his latest Hot Take Tuesday at WCG! www.windycitygridiron.com/2025/1/7/243...

Ryan Poles answered plenty of questions on Tuesday morning. Here are my top takeaways. nicholasmoreano.wordpress.com/2025/01/07/t...

For any Bears fans with thoughts on what we heard today, how the season ended, and the upcoming coaching search, I'll be hosting a Live Room on @theathletic.bsky.social app at 3p CT today.
