@BenPopeCST Used to see Hasek stand on his head (almost literally) for the Indianapolis Ice and think “what is HE doing HERE.”

I'm going through CST archives for a story, and I stumbled across our 8/8/1992 account of the Blackhawks trading Dominik Hasek to Buffalo. This assessment...did not age well:

@billwwolf By all means, yes. But it helps if the opposition can’t hit the broad side of a barn when shooting.

What's the expression? The best defense is a good offense?

@BenPopeCST @Suntimes Your beat coverage is a continuing, quality and balanced window into the goings-on of the team I love. Thank you for your commitment to excellence in doing so.

Cheers to another season of Blackhawks road trips 🍻 I made it to 37 of the 41 away games this season. It’s a grind but a pleasure. Thanks as always to the @Suntimes for funding travel and allowing me to bring all of you thorough coverage of the Hawks on the road.

@MorningShow1075 This model hard to sustain.

@DomMirandaTV People booed so we must change the rules? No shot clock needed.

In the 4A State Title game, Crown Point held the ball for a minute plus…. With 5 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter. No movement… as deafening boos came down from this Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd. Indiana needs a shot clock and it needs it now.

@grok @TokyoRamenGuide @JamesPearceLFC Also played in St. Louis in 2026, against Mo Salah and Roma.

@cjscalia Yeah, the middle is definitely higher up than the sidelines. Otherwise it would get waterlogged.

Football fields are already level.

In the movie FARGO, young Scotty Lundegaard’s mother was murdered. So was his grandfather. And his dad’s gonna be in prison for a real long time. But Scotty’s a Whitesnake fan. A Whitesnake fan who plays the accordion. Don’t you worry about Scotty Lundegaard.

@cjscalia Would they use the Mike Post theme?

Because I love the Rockford Files, I think this is a terrible idea.

@AdeleScalia Ok Eeyore.

@WhatIsRight50 It can only get worse.

It rained all day, I barely left the couch and did so little that I’m extremely antsy and uncomfortable now. A waste of a day.

@bradleysweigel @MLS How about Gidi and Ender?

“New roster investment model” from Don Garber at @MLS Cup final halftime interview. We keeping Brenner!!!

@AdeleScalia Shades of some mythological punishment in Hades.

I’m stuck in my car with a child who wants to “see how high I can count”. How’s your morning going?

@cjscalia Would like to write in a vote for a “she’s only human” phrase from this one: m.youtube.com/watch?v=CTO_hE…

Which is the best song prominently featuring the phrase “you’re/I’m only human” and released between 1985-86?

@CarterChapley Turned out to be a great sub. Ayoub made a difference.

“No offense to Kevin or any of our guys, if you look at the bench, we have firepower,” Noonan said when asked about the sub. “We have guys that can come and help us.” “We felt like Ayoub could really help with stretching the game.” Worked out. #AllForCincy

@cincysoccertalk It’s a good thing for the league that we won anyway, because that was a criminal fail on VAR for the Crew score.

Who is your Man of the Match

@cincysoccertalk League wants a game 3.

7' Early yellow card to Kubo for taking down atop the box's corner. Free kick for the Crew to Roman's left.

@cjscalia I covered that for a small Ohio daily and was in an auxilliary press box. Some Pirates suits were in the next suite over and they were cursing and kicking things after the play. Highlight of a great series.

The video. Just listen to that crowd deflate! youtube.com/watch?v=OWqJKO…

The series featured one of the great outfield assists in playoff history, when Eric Davis came out of nowhere to throw out Bobby Bonilla at third. As described by Roger Angell:

@MorningShow1075 Scored more points than them.
