This might be the finest 60 seconds in the history of sports broadcasting. No prompter, no stumbling, no uhhs and you knows. Met the moment with big picture historical context in a way that connected it to the viewer. Not too understated or overly flowery. Just pitch perfect.

@CheriJacobus @DNC I’ve been saying they should do this for months !!!! What’s taking so long ???

This would be rocket fuel for @DNC fundraising!

@LicDelRivero DC in the Bears house

@nut_history If you’re of a certain age and from Chicago —he was the man!!

Who was the best player of your favourite team when you first started watching baseball?

If I’m that guy, I would spend $10k to make this the wallpaper throughout my entire house.

@JoeHealey42 @AuntieSlayer For those wondering

Jesus Gomez is responsible for: -The firing of Herm Edwards -Tonight’s win at Baylor I think it’s entirely reasonable to ask that his number is retired from the game of football and that he’s inducted into every sport’s Hall of Fame.

@ZachZaidman @670TheScore You were talking about the 7 million Chicago listeners. There are thousands of us living around the US also listening (via Sirius xm). I’m in Washington DC …..no pressure

Shota Imanaga starts tonight for the Cubs in Cincinnati. Game two of their four-game set. 87 degrees. Cubs hold top NL wild card spot by five games over San Diego. @670TheScore broadcast time is 5:05 pm CT. Inviting you to join us!!

Who was your favorite pitcher when you were 10 years old? I’ll start:

If you’re turning left, get your sorry ass into the intersection on green. It’s not in the manual but that’s how real life works. Thank you. - Everyone who understands how to drive

20 years ago today, an MLB team wearing navy blue caps with a curly W logo and gray jerseys with “Washington” emblazoned across the chest took the field, embarking on a brand-new journey many never believed would come to fruition. masnsports.com/blog/20-years-…

This montage of Trump for his obsession with the word ‘groceries’ is freaking hilarious. His brain is fucking pudding at this point.

‘The Russians are delighted with the humiliation of president Zelenskyy’ International editor Lindsey Hilsum weighs in on how Russians will be feeling after the Oval Office row between Trump and Zelenskyy.

Disaster irony - across this ex-town chimneys and fireplaces often seem the only things left standing

Jimmy Carter was the first United States president to host a Super Bowl championship team at the White House. On February 22, 1980, a ceremony was held honoring the "City of Champions" — the #NFL's 1979 #Steelers and baseball's 1979 World Series champion #Pittsburgh Pirates. RIP 🕯️

@PaolaBoivin @ASU I’m one of the “father types” you’re referring to —-and proud of it. (I’ll own that). A very proud Cronkite Alum. Still The most beautiful campus in the country.

A thread about @asu, since national attention is again thrust upon the university thanks to the football team's CFP appearance. It's time to reintroduce the school to the general public ... First, THIS IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S ASU. ...

I recently read about man who collects pictures of hitters who had hit walk-off home runs. He said that the reason he did this is because this is how he views us entering heaven. Look at the faces of his teammates waiting to welcome him home. Look at their excitement. They can’t wait to celebrate with him. Look at the fans. Arms raised, big smiles, maybe even hugs for a perfect stranger. Perhaps this is your first holiday season without someone important who is now waiting for you in heaven. Maybe it’s just another one with that big hole in your heart and an empty seat at the table. Either way, I hope you can find encouragement in this picture, what it represented to the man who collected it, and find joy this year. #heaven #hope #joy #grief

Very arguably, the overruling of Chevron will have a far broader effect, on more people, than any case from this Court to date. Other cases they've done represent huge changes for some Americans (eg abortion, affirmative action) but this is utterly cross-cutting for society.

@WGNNews You mean running on a TRAIL. unless he was running from a a judge
