Yes, the Condors could be No. 1 (maybe. in about an hour).
Yes, Downers Grove North could be a juggernaut by playoff time once again.

Outside of the Bears losing again, the Justin Fields experiment turning into an all-out debacle, the Cubs imploding, the Sky season ending in a sweep, the Illini and Cats getting their butts kicked and the Sox being the Sox, it’s been a fine weekend on our sports scene.

NASCAR will try to finish this 100-lap race tonight. But an official race — in this case, 45 laps — is the most important thing. Per NASCAR official, will *not* stay and finish up Monday as long as official tonight. #NASCARChicago

Where is the best spot in Chicago to break up with someone? Tell us why.

Our union made a new proposal this week: We are requesting journalist representation on the boards of directors of Chicago Sun-Times Media and Chicago Public Media.

We're troubled by recent turnover in executive leadership and need journalist input in our organization's future.

[John Silver @juandeplata]

@AnnieCostabile Now to any question, I only will repeatedly respond: "We are fine."

"We are fine."

The Big Ten considered adding Sweden and Finland to the conference, but decided against — the media markets weren’t big enough.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The Senate overwhelmingly voted to add Finland and Sweden to NATO, setting up one of the alliance’s most significant expansions in decades. https://t.co/ecWzOc5W9l

And match up the counties and their number designation on the old license-plate design.

Dudes can literally just sit around and name towns in Indiana and just have the best time.
