Matt Nagy being on the hot seat in Chicago makes zero sense (to non-Bears fans)

The Penguins tried to game the system and lost big
One of the many catchphrases that Eddie Olczyk has been trying to “fetch” for more than a decade is “Goaltending: If you don’t have it, you got no chance.” Like most of the things Eddie O says, it probably sounds way cooler and more clever in his head. It’s not a play on words, it doesn’t rhyme, it’...

Pol's son says Trump hinted at 'a lot of money' in 2008 for Spygate probe to go away
