Naming flights after Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce isn't going to fix the airline industry
The airline industry seems to think it can distract the people.

My attention is still s...

It’s getting harder to classify Brock Purdy
Does anyone even know what type of quarterback Brock Purdy is? Is he the new Joe Flacco? Is he Big Ben redux? Tom Brady 2.0?

Now that NFL Championship Sunday is in the rearview, it’s time to reflect on what was and what could have been.

How a Chicago Bears fan learned to love Dan Campbell
This is hard for a Bears fan to admit, and I might, later on, decide to deny I ever said it, but I was pulling for the Detroit Lions (God, that was uncomfortable to type).

The United States is supposed to be the land of opportunity. A place where all that a plucky individual needs is an idea and/or a skill and some elbow grease to shake up the world.
