82 years ago today Scotty from Star Trek was shot 6 times during D-Day while fighting for Canada during WWII. On June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, later of Sarnia, landed at Juno Beach while serving in the Canadian Army. He was wounded six times later that day by friendly fire and later became best known as Scotty on Star Trek. 🇨🇦

Hoosiers, help me welcome the Chicago Bears to our great state!

We look forward to building a partnership as strong as the '85 Bears defense, creating opportunities and economic growth that will benefit our state and the Bears organization for decades to come.

An NFL franchise in Northwest Indiana will be an economic boost to the entire region like we haven’t seen before.

Thank you to Speaker Huston, the legislature, and Mayor McDermott for their partnership. I also want to thank the entire Chicago Bears organization for their partnership and commitment in making this move a reality.

Welcome to Indiana!

WSJ reporter refers to Michael G. Wilson as the *step brother* of Barbara Broccoli. They are *half siblings* (same mother, different fathers). Get with it, BBC and WSJ.

#SCOOP: Scott Pelley had a meeting with CBS News leadership at 5pm ET to discuss a path forward after his protest in 60 Minutes all-hands. The two sides did not find common ground and it now seems likely he will either resign or be fired, though neither has happened yet.

More to come… @PuckNews

On this day in Detroit Tigers history:

Armando Galarraga had his perfect game cut short on what should have been the final out on June 2, 2010.

That’s about the size of it.

Oh no

Not as bad as the Tigers this season.

There have been bad Red Sox seasons these last 50 years, but this feels like the bleakest.
