Jack Stockfish had one offer to play college hockey. Now, he has the attention of NHL scouts. His road was paved with the help of his family and motivated by the death of his mother. "She can’t be replaced, but I can try to live through her." collegehockeynews.com/news/2025/12/1…

@AslansHowe Update: Associated Press used fonts we don't have. And ... I'm not sure anyone has. We fixed it today.

@AslansHowe Not quite sure. We've recently had new fonts, new printers. New deadlines mean everything is rushed. The view on our end looked fine.

@dmax120288446 My pleasure. No idea how long I'll be able to be a small part of it, but it's what I've wanted to do since I was collecting sports pages at 7 years old back when the Chicago Bulls cared about winning. Awful ownership there too, so can relate.

@Harrisswallows Journalism will never die. Powerful people just keep trying to kill it by rewarding grifters who are too chickenshit to ask tough questions when they interview powerful people.

@SeeMurphsTweets @tjbrown Journalism is dead. At least “real” journalism is. Now, we have a bunch of losers without backbones as journalists. If you truly care…write things that are impartial and objective. Grow a backbone.

Chicago Tribune 20 years ago today (there was an Olympics section, so cover is black and white). Fresh off a title, White Sox GM Kenny Williams decides to publicly rip Frank Thomas, the franchise's best player. From here until Williams was fired in 2023, Sox won 3 playoff games.

Union's Tyler Dunbar decommitted from UND and had 2 points in 2 seasons with Colorado College. He never doubted himself, wearing the same number at Union as a reminder he was still the same player. "When he leaves here, he’s going to sign an NHL deal" collegehockeynews.com/news/2026/02/1…

The most read stories take time/work. You don't parachute down and say, "Hello, athlete whose father just died. Tell me about him and how you scored 50 the day of his funeral?" You get to know people and earn their trust by covering games/things data says you shouldn't.

@EricOutdoorNews He's great for the Wolves. Fans will love him. Went from being the guy to doing whatever is asked of him. He's an NBA starter with the chip on his shoulder of being a second-round pick. Has earned everything coming to him. Fans will never doubt his want to win.

@SeeMurphsTweets Chris! I'm pretty pumped about getting Ayo to the Wolves. Seems to be everything they need as a depth piece with size, handle, shooting ability. That a good get for the Wolves?

Imagine owning the Bulls during the Jordan era and the White Sox when they won a World Series and still being considered one of the worst owners in sports. Until leagues punish the pocketbooks of owners who do not care about winning, ghouls like Jerry Reinsdorf will ruin sports.

In a story about fifth graders meeting Olympic curlers at the Chicago Curling Club, this quote is just a reminder sports are awesome and you never know who considers you a hero:

@memoican24 I wrote the headline. It is not why print media is dying. And there was no time to laugh because of deadline.
