Drove by @NewRyanField this morning, and it was a sea of activity with construction workers everywhere putting on the finishing touches. What a truly spectacular stadium - photos simply donโt do it justice. ๐ณ
So much gratitude to Pat Ryan and the entire Ryan family for their incredible generosity and commitment to Northwestern. What theyโve helped create is something very special. ๐
Canโt wait to watch my first game at the new home of @NUFBFamily. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Go โCats! ๐๐ ๐๏ธ
Season finally opens for the 2026 edition of @NUFBFamily tomorrow. The most historic opener in the program history was in South Bend 31 years ago. This play got the 'Cats on the board.
Some of the wildest stats in NFL history:
- The Bears have never had a 4,000+ yard passer in a season (106 seasons)
- All 4 of the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts Superbowls were played in Miami
- Larry Fitzgerald in 17 seasons finished with more tackles (42) than drops (29)
- During the entire 2014 NFL regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs did not throw a single receiving touchdown to a wide receiver
- The Panthers have never recorded back to back winning seasons in their franchise history, yet they once won the NFC South division 3 years in a row (31 seasons)
- The Buccaneers lost 26 consecutive games from 1976-1977. This was their first 26 games as a franchise. 0-14 in year 1, then they went 2-12 in year 2.
- Every NFC team has played in the NFC Championship game since 2010, except the Cowboys, who havenโt since 1995
- Ryan Fitzpatrick led the 2019 Dolphins in Rushing Yards (243) and TDโs (4).. Dude was 37 years old at the time..
- Tom Brady never played a game in his entire career where he was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs going into it.
- For his entire career, Tom Brady has a better chance of getting to the Super Bowl (47.6%) than Steph Curry has of making a 3 pointer (42.2%).
- The Jets joined the NFL in 1970. They beat the eagles for the first time in 2023.
- The Lions went 70 straight games without having a 100 yard rusher. This was during the Stafford era.. it started after Reggie Bush rushed for 117 yards on Thanksgiving in 2013. The drought lasted almost 5 seasons before Kerryon Johnson rushed for 101 yards in 2018..
- Mike Vrabel had 12 career receptions during his career, and every single one was a touchdown..
Still one of the most inspirational athletic performances Iโve ever seen. Takashi just laid it all on the goddamn line for Lambda Lambda Lambda that day. Drunk as fuck, nothing left to give. Heart of a champion.

The old SNL days were something else. The Jeopardy sketches with Sean Connery were comedy gold, and still some of the funniest sketches the show ever produced.
Airport Pricing - Whose Fault? ๐งต
1/ Airport restaurants can be an absolute cash cow: captive audience, people expecting to pay over market price, disposable income, and in a more efficient space with limited options.
On the last day of the Obama administration the national debt was $19.95 trillion. Now itโs $40 trillion. Trump and Biden and Congress under both parties doubled the national debt in the last decade. Once you get past the fun finger pointing, the fact remains this was a bipartisan failure.
That time Sarah and John Connor were being pursued by the most relentless Terminator yet... THE TOONCINATOR! Phil Hartman does a great Schwarzenegger, to no one's surprise.
The Most Expensive College Football Games Of The 2026 Season๐ฐ
Of course these are subject to change, but this is how it looks a few weeks before the season kicks (LFG!)
Which of these would you pay the price for? Let us know if you are going to any of these!๐
I think weโve normalized people bringing their dogs absolutely everywhere and Iโm ready to say it. Grocery stores, restaurants, shopping carts, you name it. I love dogs, but unless itโs an actual service animal, your dog doesnโt need to come inside every business you visit.
Restaurants need to stop trying to reinvent every basic food. I donโt need a cheeseburger stacked 11 inches high with six sauces, an egg and a knife stabbed through the middle. Give me a burger I can actually pick up and eat without taking a shower afterward.
