I didn't get to know David Kaplan super well here at NBC Sports Chicago, but one time, he helped me and a coworker get a reservation at RPM Steak. When we asked for the (not small) check, the staff informed us that
@thekapman
had already footed the entire bill.
Can’t understand the people upset about this clip.
We’re either a “mouthpiece for the organization” or we’re “too mean”
This was a raw, honest reaction. We all went through these past three seasons together, and the least we can give our audience at this point is authenticity.
No one has to publicly bash Tony. But Jose Abreu still calling him “a good manager and leader” and saying fans “aren’t in the clubhouse” is a little insulting.
A. Fans aren’t blind
B. Who cares what’s happening in the clubhouse if the vibes aren’t translating on the field
My contribution to smashing the patriarchy is referring to Liam Hendriks as “Kristi’s husband” not once but twice in this article.
Anyways, I wrote a lovely little story about these two.
The White Sox have finally faced the jarring, permanent consequences of failure. And if there’s any hope of salvaging what’s left of the rebuild next season, they better take it personally.
“I had to take a driving test when I [came] over [to America]. I won’t have to take a test if I want to get a gun. That’s stupid. Whoever thought that was a great idea is an idiot.” – Liam Hendriks
I gotta say, Nightengale’s report that the Sox clubhouse has problems is probably the coldest tea I’ve ever heard. Like, even I could have reported that.

If there’s a specific issue with his leg(s), fine. I get that, of course. But a recommended day of rest right after the All-Star break with off days tomorrow and Thursday for a 24-year-old professional athlete is bizarre.
I know women, as a whole, are more mentally stable than men solely based on the way Taylor Swift fans are so excited to see content of Travis Kelce at the Eras Tour vs. the way football fans react to seeing content of Taylor Swift on ESPN
I have the most obnoxious superiority complex from witnessing Joel Embiid firsthand at Kansas because we were all like “low key, he’s better than Wiggins” and no one believed us.
Proactive move from Tony La Russa, who had Jimmy Lambert readying last inning, and pulls Michael Kopech after a one-out walk in a one-run game, in the midst of facing the middle of the order a third time.
Had such a fabulous time w/

We laughed. We cried. We drank. I attempted to sing the alphabet. It’s a great listen👇

Whether Getz is "qualified" to run a big league operation is largely irrelevant. We're all capable succeeding until we don't.
The question is whether or not Getz is a byproduct of the flawed system he helped create.
For NBC Sports Chicago:
If you're going to the Bears-Bills game tomorrow (unhinged behavior btw), DM me some "day in the life" type content!
How are you preparing? What's it like at Soldier Field? Etc
You could be featured on the Football Aftershow and/or

Wednesday’s game is actually a great GOAT test for LeBron, because we know Michael Jordan would already have Patrick Beverley’s murder mapped out before leaving the stadium tonight.
I lost some weight for a destination wedding this month. The couple broke up, but I look fuckin great, so I’m calling their engagement a major success.
I don’t keep kosher, nor do I keep kosher for Passover, but I will be snacking on nothing but matzah with butter for the next 4 weeks.
And that, my friends, is the story of how the Jews escaped from the land of Egypt.
This is my annual plea for beat reporters to live-tweet on a 20-second delay.
You do not win an award for being the first person to tweet that Eloy Jimenez grounded out. Y’all are ahead of the game feed and on my LAST NERVE.
There’s two people standing right next to each other on Michigan Avenue, one is wearing a sports bra & spandex shorts and the other is wearing a Canada Goose parka.
I’m not gonna knock an org for gun-violence prevention and raising awareness, but tactically adding “while the issue complicated..” so you don’t alienate the idiots who don’t support any sort of gun legislation is so annoying to me.
The White Sox are committed to seeking innovative solutions to gun violence. While the issue is complicated, the organization is passionate about raising awareness, sharing information, and supporting prevention resources that help create a safer community.
“stuff” has got to be the worst lingo in all of sports
A pitcher comes in with a 6.81 ERA “but has fantastic stuff”
So… he has the ability to throw a great pitch but probably won’t. How charming!
