If I were you I would send it to Dale Tallon, because he locked in on beach, refused to listen about defenders and he pushed the staff to that pick no one else.

I have 1 Jack Skille story. In the early part of the 2010-2011 season, the Hawks were in Nashville and I ran into Wideman in the hall before the game and chatted him up for a little while. He asked if I had any predictions and I said Skille would score 2 goals tonight and he said have you been drinking that TN Moonshine?, laughed and walked away.

My seats were on the blue line just below the press box so he could see me. Skille scored in the first period and I turned to him and pointed that's 1. He smiled and was like umm yeah OK, I'm sure he'll get another. Low and Behold, Skille scored again and I was then laughing hysterically, pointed to him again and I just cheers him to my beer as he looked in disarray.

Some hilly-billy lady said to me in hall that game too "Toews Sucks" (said like a true hilly-billy). I think they lost in OT or shootout but it was a blast of a game and a heck of a prediction.


RIP - John Prine A True Artist.

Looks like the Bears are kicking almost 2M to COVID relief efforts.

During this pandemic, it is recommended to stay 10 feet away from other people. If you're unsure on how far that is, just imagine you're a Bears' receiver and Trubisky threw you a pass. The distance between you and the ball is about 10 feet.
