OT: Other Sports 83

[No Fun Shogun]

I can't help but think that the Cubs pulled their classic "make enough noise and make a decent enough of an offer to appear like they're trying, but not really" move.

I was expecting an even bigger drop, unless they mean that their viewership declined from 100 houses to 37 and viewership was always miserable.

As a fellow ginger beard I can't help but love Justin Turner.

I guess I didn’t know who he was until he was 29. Weird

I'd imagine that is the case for most. He just kind of came out of nowhere and was a late bloomer who turned into having a great career.

Neat, missed that Ireland and New Zealand are playing at Soldier Field in November.

Ireland vs. New Zealand rugby rematch coming to Soldier Field this fall

“This is more than just a game. This is an historic moment in the making, bringing the best of global rugby to our great city,” Mayor Brandon Johnson told a news conference at Soldier Field Tuesday.

Caught a match ages ago in the city, always thought that international friendlies should be a more common thing at Soldier Field.

Cubs were cooking today in the desert.

And forgot to mention, but went to an Illinois Wesleyan game over the weekend. Hot damn, the pace of basketball without commercials is amazing. D3 is the best. Can't beat $5 seats.

Plus man, their court was a lot better than my alma mater's court, albeit my school was a football school and IWU is pretty clearly a basketball school.

If you live near a D3 program, take advantage.

You’d have to pay me to go to a D3 sporting event event.
