Times have really changed on the South Side …

White Sox walk it off again. Really didn’t see the North Side squad being worse off this year.

The way the Sabres are currently constructed, Connor Hellebuyck could be the difference between Buffalo being good versus being great next season.

I’m not saying you give Winnipeg whatever they want but it’s okay to dangle some roster players and high level prospects to get this done.

RIGHT NOW in 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and his wife Sophie are fatally shot in Sarajevo by a 19-year-old Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip. The incident touches off a diplomatic crisis that will soon plunge Europe into war.

Listen to dictators. They lie about what they've done but are often quite open about what they want to do. We willfully dismiss these threats as bombast for our own comfort and leave ourselves surprised and unprepared.

🏈 The long snapper is the only player to span 3 head coaches

Today’s birthday boy Chuck Howley was a 5-sport letterman at WVU. A real unicorn. It was said the only thing that could screw up micromanager Tom Landry’s Dallas system was the players. Landry allowed Howley to freelance - all you need to know about Chuck as a player.

"Phil Rizzuto who always referred to everyone by their last name, said to me:
"Hey, Kaat, I’m going to the men's room.
Cover for me."
And off he went.
I had never done play-by-play before. Producer Don Carney asked me over the headset:
"Where’s Rizzuto?"
I said:
"He went to the bathroom."
I heard Don sigh and I knew in that moment that Rizzuto wasn't in the bathroom.
He had gone outside, grabbed a cab, and went back to the hotel because it was too darn cold."

On this day in 1863, George Meade takes command of the Army of the Potomac. Five days later, he'll defeat Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg.

APPLEBAUM: Clearly, Trump is somebody who was cultivated by Russians for many years. Clearly, when they talk to him, they spend lot of time thinking about how he can be manipulated, and he seems to respond. Trump is easy to manipulate if you know which buttons to push and so on.
