Mitch Trubisky has one more chance
Mitch Trubisky is getting another shot in the NFL as a starting quarterback. Not a bad feel-good story for Week 1.

Well, this is uncomfortable…
The most awkward episode of The Office is without a doubt “Scott’s Tots.” In it, Michael Scott has to tell a class of underprivileged students that his promise to pay for their college 15 years ago isn’t going to happen.

Justin Fields will prove Matt Nagy doesn’t know what he’s doing, and Matt Nagy knows it
