Just wanted to highlight how ridiculous the 1st inning of Kerry Wood’s 20K masterpiece was: - 100mph to the umps face to start the game - What HoFer Craig Biggio called his most embarrassing swing of his career - Strikes out NL batting leader Derek Bell on possibly the nastiest, definition of fall-off-the-table, curveball you’ve ever seen - Strikes out HoFer and one of the greatest fastball hitters…on three fastballs. -Just absolutely disgusting stuff - Kerry Wood Forever

Coming this Sunday on the Pardon my take YouTube The golf match that almost ends the podcast forever….

This story is now more than 25 years old and I have told it more times than I can count, but it hits very differently today. I was anchoring SportsCenter one afternoon and Lou Holtz was on the show. I was quite excited to talk with him, he had been an icon all of my life. He was very friendly, asking me all about myself as we walked toward the studio to record an interview. I told him: “Actually, Coach, it’s quite exciting, my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few weeks.” He stopped dead in his tracks and put a finger up near my face. And I’ll never forget what he said. “Young man, the most important thing you can do for a child is make sure every day they know how much you love their mother.” And, just like that, he started walking again. Our daughter was born a month later, our son came two years after that. And I have thought about what Lou Holtz said to me that day about a million times since. RIP Coach, thanks for the best advice anyone ever gave me.

The easy narrative is that Keaton Wagler was an unseen, off-circuit recruit. The real story is a lot more complicated and explains the imperfect art of modern recruiting. SI Digital Cover on how the world missed Keaton Wagler… and why Illinois didn’t: si.com/college-basket…

What a send off. Perfectly said “Those dreams are formed now. Go chase them and go get em”

Everyone is raving about @Anthem_Singer and his anthem at Soldier However… Those not familiar with the tradition HAVE to watch his masterful performance prior to Game 7 of the 2013 series against the Detroit Red Wings. In my opinion the Magnum Opus of Jim #Blackhawks

Anthem aura 10/10 🎤 @Anthem_Singer | @ChicagoBears

Chicago welcomes back their former captain Jonathan Toews 👏
