Robin Ventura learning “elder abuse” is bad is always going to be a great photo.

#OnThisDay in 1994, Julio Cesar Chavez lost for the first time in 91 fights as judges gave Frankie Randall the split-decision win. Randall knocked Chavez down in the 11th round as he went on to win the WBC super lightweight belt. In the fight, Chavez had two points taken away for low blows.

#OnThisDay in 1958, the St. Louis Cardinals make Stan Musial the highest-paid MLB player by giving him a contract worth $100,000/year. After what Musial considered a sub-par performance in 1959, he requested a PAY CUT to $80,000/year in 1960. It was granted.

#OnThisDay in 2018, the Cleveland then-Indians announced the Chief Wahoo logo would be removed from uniforms the next season. The decision was met with supporters and detractors, but you can always count on Blue Jays fans to keep things in “perspective.” (Check out the last picture for that one…)

#OnThisDay in 1975, the Chicago Bears select Walter Payton with the fourth over all pick in the NFL Draft. How sweet it was…

#OnThisDay in 1982, the Cubs traded SS Ivan DeJesus to the Phillies for Larry Bowa…and a throw-in player. That throw-in player was (then-)3B Ryne Sandberg. The rest is Hall of Fame history.

#OnThisDay in 1945, Auschwitz is liberated.

#OnThisDay in 1976, ABC debuts “Laverne & Shirley,” which would be the most-watched American TV program by its third season. Milwaukee, stand up!!!

#OnThisDay in 1991, Whitney Houston delivered. youtu.be/uAYKTMQl7MQ?...

#OnThisDay in 2000, Bill Belichick was “thrilled to be a part of” the Patriots as he was introduced as the team’s head coach. Just a few weeks earlier, he was introduced as the Jets’ head coach. He resigned after only one day, had his rights traded to New England and the dynasty would begin.

#OnThisDay in 1989, Mark Jackson was on the wrong end of Tom Chambers’ knee…and one of the all-time greatest dunks.

#OnThisDay in 2020, Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others are killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA.

#OnThisDay in 1992, the Washington Redskins won their third Super Bowl in ten years by defeating the Buffalo Bills 37-24. Washington put the game away with 24 straight points in the second quarter after a scoreless 1st.

#OnThisDay in 1985, Wayne Gretzky scores his 50th goal in 49 games in a 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

#OnThisDay in 1986, the Chicago Bears shuffled their way to a 46-10 victory over the New England Patriots. It was considered the most dominant championship performance since the Bears’ 73-0 thrashing of the Washington Redskins in 1940.

On this day in 2015, Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, passes away from a heart attack at the age of 83. It was only eight days before what would have been his 84th birthday and two years before his beloved Cubs won the World Series.

Lynch’s visions for television were always different than the norm. But, if you “got it,” his stuff was excellent. Rest in power, David…

According to @pattonanalytics.bsky.social, Caleb Williams was sacked almost 70 times this season and AVOIDED 50 more. That MUST be some sort of record…

On this day in 1982, Dwight Clark made history.

Welcome, @mattlombardo.bsky.social!!! You made it!!!

When the chairman of the Chicago Bears ends his press conference with “Go Birds,” alluding to the Eagles who host the Packers this week in the playoffs, you KNOW that hatred runs deep.

There are so many great stories about the greatest base stealer in MLB history. He was definitely one of one Rest in power, Rickey Henderson. nypost.com/2024/12/21/s...

To paraphrase my guy Kendrick Lamar, Bears fans are (Eber)FLUSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEDDDDDD

Matt Eberflus when asked about his situational awareness at the end of games…:

Drake can’t even take an L like an adult

Remember when fans of the Chicago Bears were angry at the fact that the team was even CONSIDERING drafting Caleb Williams because he paints his nails? Can we safely assume those people are OK with painted nails now?

Quite possibly the greatest revision to a Christmas carol is here…

#ChicagoBears fans the day after losing to the Packers for an 11th straight time…

My first thought after watching the #ChicagoBears…

Wasn’t canceled, but for many Chicagoans…

I don’t know if I’m right on this, but it looks like: Team 1 = BYU Team 2 = Oregon Team 3 = Indiana If that is correct, Oregon > BYU > Indiana

Ben Domenech has some phrases describing Matt Gaetz that I definitely found entertaining. “The man has less principles than your average fentanyl addicted hobo” is one that goes in the annals of time.

If Tyson Bagent’s father is the one that “leaked” that “veterans on the #ChicagoBears want Bagent to start at QB,” as has been rumored, Ryan Poles may have a larger roster overhaul than he ever thought possible.
