Fanduel is a billion dollar company yet they’re scared of discords make that make sense

Shame on City Hall Alcohol found at one CFD firehouse has caused a hysterical overreaction among city officials. Despite all CFD testing 0.0, Chicago is now forcing CFD to yield to illegal searches. Why is one incident at one station now seen as a reflection of the whole CFD? This is puzzling considering the city’s inattention to urgent problems facing CFD. Consider the following:     •    CFD is nearing four years without a contract and is now in arbitration.     •    Chicago disregarded OSHA’s criticism of CFD following several Line of Duty Deaths (LODDs) and CFD personnel suffering grievous injury has resulted in no investigation, training or corrective action taken.       •    CFD’s fleet of trucks is aging and unserviceable, and there is an acute and dangerous shortage of ambulances and EMT personnel.  The city’s busiest hook and ladder vehicle which provides ventilation and search and rescue was disabled and not replaced for 3 days.     •    CFD firehouses are crumbling, and CFD personnel are forced to live in decaying, unsanitary and polluted firehouses, which are permanently damaging their heath.     •    The bar to qualify for employment with CFD has dropped so low it is imperiling the lives of Chicago residents and CFD personnel.     •    Chicago has taken no steps to explore the startling number of CFD personnel who either passed away or have seen their health deteriorate since the rollout and mandatory vaccine requirement. Chicago’s preoccupation with scrutinizing the behavior of CFD personnel is all the more enraging and dismaying when one isolated incident at one station exceeds the importance of the deepest problems affecting CFD.

Welcome to Chicago Ben Johnson

Not to be that guy, but the #NFL    simply cannot allow Brady (who is an owner for the Raiders) to use his media access to talk to Ben Johnson (who the Raiders want to hire) while other teams need to wait. #DaBears

Hang the banner!

If Cairo Santos doesn’t have the leg for a 57-yard field goal, he shouldn’t be your kicker.

Happy heavenly birthday Charlie boy🎂😇. I love you. We miss you🙏🏻

Well they should be

Thank you again! #OneTownOneTeam

Almost 10 seconds. Almost a Dozen Warnings. Think about that. I want everyone to pause and count to 10. Ten seconds may not seem like a long time—until it’s the last 10 seconds of your life. To those advocating to defund the police, I ask: How long is too long? How long is long enough? Consider this: what if the exact same scenario had unfolded, but the officer fired first, killing the suspect? What if the suspect wasn’t armed, but the officers believed he was reaching for a weapon? Here’s what would happen: There would be an outcry questioning why the stop was conducted in the first place. People would ask why more time wasn’t given for the suspect to comply or why the officer didn’t just wound him. The officers involved would be placed on desk duty while the State’s Attorney deliberated over potential murder charges. The family would hold a press conference demanding justice and a multimillion-dollar settlement from the city. We’d hear about how the suspect was on the verge of turning his life around. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) would probably recommend termination. Politicians would claim systemic racism had struck again, calling for even more scrutiny on law enforcement. This is the climate we face today—one shaped by politicians and media, systematically dismantling the foundation of policing. This erosion of public safety has left our young officers second-guessing themselves, hesitating in critical moments. In this profession, hesitation can be fatal. So, the next time you hear about an officer shooting a suspect—armed or unarmed—who refuses to comply, remember the last 10 seconds of Officer Martinez’s life. Ask yourself: What would you have done? #NeverForget

It’s official. Jerry Reinsdorf Masterclass.

I don’t think it’s an overreaction to say the Chicago Bears just had the worst play call on 4th and goal in NFL History
