Moles and grubs don’t dig THAT deep.

[HoltcampMaryann @HoltcampM]

@AlHamnik Bulls & Blackhawks already dug themselves a big hole

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

Needed for this b-r-r-r-r walk: long underwear and a thermos of hot coffee.

[Chris_Davenport @Chris_Davenport]

My morning walk through Whiting Park.
The sea is angry today friends…

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

Poor clown. He’s been irregular much of his life.

[Lisa @BadAss6360]

Whah whah whah!

Cry, baby, cry!

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

I have absolutely no faith or interest in the 1-9 Bulls, losers of 8 straight games. At this rate, they’re vying for the No. 1 pick in next year’s NBA draft.

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

Got my vote.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times!”

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

Hypocrites, every last one.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Pete Hegseth's group is reprimanded by a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day:

"ALL VISITORS WILL MAINTAIN AN ATMOSPHERE OF SILENCE. PAY RESPECT AT ALL TIMES!"

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

Long-time coming for Wally, who also works with Gary youth and is a member of the Gary Sports Hall of Fame. At that event, dear friend and former Montreal Expo teammate Andre Dawson sent a congratulatory video.

[Brian Jennings @AnnouncerBrian]

Great to see Wallace Johnson getting selected to the @IHSBCA and Indiana Baseball Hall Fame! He’s a great representative of The Region and @IndStAthletic! You won’t find a more humble and better person! Congrats and proud to call you a friend!

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

Hypocrite

[Steve @ChiTownSports]

.@PeteHegseth is a dumbfuck @SecWar

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

I was being sarcastic, as I often do in such matters.

[Chuck Freeby Sports @ChuckFreeby]

@AlHamnik That’s a pretty wild comparison….1010 wins to 9

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

How strange. Makes no sense unless it scarred him.

[BoilerTrue @96Boiler]

@AlHamnik Had a good HS friend who I hadn’t seen for a long time that I caught up with on social media. Said thanks for your service and he replied “that’s gross”. Last time I spoke with him.

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

With the political climate in LaPorte, you have to wonder if legendary baseball coach Ken Schreiber (1,010 wins, 217 losses) would’ve had difficulty doing his job today. Just saying.

[Chuck Freeby Sports @ChuckFreeby]

BREAKING: Austin Epple will not be brought back as @lphsathletics football coach.

He was 9-33 in four seasons as head coach

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

Five of us Griffith grads (class of ‘65) — 3 of whom are veterans — meet every Wednesday for breakfast. The vets often wear a cap showing what branch they were in and it’s so nice when strangers go out of their way to stop by and say: ‘’Thank you for your service. God bless.”

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

What about snow and ice?

[Ruddov @Ruddov_com]

Protect your central AC unit!

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

So true. Sadly, it’s as much ‘’ballpark” food as popcorn and a hot dog.

[Cedric @Ceddybear417]

@AlHamnik One big thing not factored in your breakdown. Alcohol! Always in the mix at stadiums, nightclubs, etc.

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

This has all the makings of an SNL skit.

[holisticbaddie @holisticbaddie]

I genuinely don’t understand why so many guys are praising this as some kind of incredible display of discipline. To me, it comes across more as insecurity than anything else. A truly confident, secure man can treat another attractive woman with respect, have a conversation, listen, and make eye contact without it meaning anything more. Being married to Hailee Steinfeld shouldn’t change that. Respect and confidence can coexist, and I don’t think avoiding eye contact or refusing to acknowledge another woman deserves a standing ovation. At the end of the day, this is Laura Rutledge’s job.

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

About time. Love his commercials and playing for this team requires a needed sense of humor.

[NFL @NFL]

Fernando Mendoza will take over as Raiders starting QB. (via @AdamSchefter, @RapSheet)

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

@mark_giangreco @DieHard_Chicago @AdamSchefter Are we that desperate?

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

I agree like you-know-who would say: 260%, maybe more,

[MikeHutton @MikeHuttonPT]

@AlHamnik They're going to regret giving up on J.J. McCarthy.

[Al Hamnik @AlHamnik]

All these ugly fights breaking out at NFL games (49ers, Raiders in particular) involving men, women and teens make us look like a society of goons, drunks and losers. Or, hopefully, these are just Ai-generated to get views. If not, we’re headed back to the caveman era.

My daughter runs an apartment complex in Orlando and with her car in the shop, took her first WAYMO ride to work. Uber wanted $28, WAYMO only $8, but became confused when it entered the complex. “That’s OK. Let me out here and I’ll walk,” she said. WAYMO gave her a $10 credit.
