USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Ran into Ben Johnson in the restroom for a brief second. I got the courage to ask him if he had any thoughts on the Bears stadium stuff. “No, only thing I’m thinking about is winning football games. That garbage is full over there, can you take care of it?”

Going from Europe to the Waffle House in Cleveland, GA is like going from the Stone Age to 2026

What an incredible cultural experience

Since March 31, 529 pitchers have allowed at least one home run.

Ben Brown is not one of them.
He has 53.2 IP, 0 HR over that span.

My message to fans of the #Bears, as one who watched my team move from Shea Stadium to nearby East Rutherford, NJ.

It is never the same again.

It’s still your team, you still root like hell for them, but it isn’t ever the same again.

[KylBme @KyleBackman10]

This is straight up embarrassing

[Carter Donnick @CDonnick1]

McCaskey’s are beyond shameless.

Man up. Billionaires using leverage play after leverage play to toy with a fanbase just for tax breaks and to make the public pay for surrounding infrastructure.

If you need a 1 billion dollar handout sell your damn team.

That feeling when you own a franchise but don't have enough capital for proper expansion

[Herb Howard @HerbHoward411]

Thee most ass backwards process I’ve ever seen.

Purchasing that land before the tax agreements were in place, knowing how the political landscape in Illinois works, was absolute negligence.

Sense then, they’ve had no choice but to play this never-ending game of Chicken with some of the most shrewd politicians in America.

[Aaron Leming @AaronLemingNFL]

I’m still not remotely sold the #Bears stadium crisis is over but this entire process from the start has been a joke.

Bought a piece of land with no plan. Hired a president who cannot get the job done.

No matter the end result, the process to get there has been incompetent.
