I am so incredibly sad to learn of the passing of Mike Ditka. His playing & coaching prowess is well documented. A legit 🐐. But more importantly...he was kind, supportive and funny. When I first got to ESPN there were definitely ex NFL stars (and others!) that looked at the nerdy fantasy guy with disdain or a shake of the head. When I walked by I tried to move quickly past them to my segment & get out. But after seeing this a few times, Coach Ditka called me over to him, where he was holding court and surrounded by a ton of other ESPN stars and producers. Ditka thanked me(!) for coming over to him and said he wanted to meet ME. That I was his kids favorite person on ESPN and that all they talked about was fantasy football. That he appreciated my work on air and he was glad to be on the same team with me. And then he put his arm around me. I have no idea if any of that was true, but I know Mike did that specifically to throw his support behind me. And if you had Coach Ditka on your side, well, that went a LONG way internally. And every week after that he would talk with me about matchups and players that he liked and things he'd seen and heard around the NFL, helping me be better at my job. RIP Mike Ditka. Much love always.
Jim Harbaugh once walked into Mike Ditka’s office & found him writing $500 checks to complete strangers who were in need
Rest in Peace to a great man
REMEMBERING MIKE DITKA
@JimGrayOfficial shares a touching story about his friend Mike Ditka’s generosity and the simple words that captured who Coach really was 👇
This is incredible. Conrad Thompson owns the actual WWF Intercontinental Championship used during one of the most iconic eras in wrestling history, which includes Randy Savage x Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania III.
It's even crazier that he acquired it by trading Pat Patterson’s original Intercontinental title after Vince McMahon agreed to the swap.
"I expect nothing less than a mad house... that's who we are as a team. We're literally kind of a bunch of idiots, honestly. And it's awesome."

The @whitesox bend but they NEVER break … stun the Guardians in game 2 … win 4-3 … now take 2-0 series lead … head home for game 3 Wednesday at “The Rate” …. Damm what I wouldn’t do to be at that game… may have to call in “sick 😉” for work. Don’t stop now boyzzzs !
Since we gutted USAID, the left hasn’t won a single presidential election in Latin America.
Billions in taxpayer cash were funding NGOs, “democracy” programs, and activist networks that conveniently always backed the same side. They called it aid but it was election interference.
Thank you @elonmusk for dragging this into the light. The grift is over.
Starting today, all Steak n Shake buns are officially seed-oil free. The buns are now unapologetically drenched in pure Grade AA Wisconsin butter.
The grass-fed, grass-finished Steakburger in a seed-oil-free bun is a new level of quality. Steak n Shake is breaking new ground with tastier, healthier options at affordable prices.

California gas averages ~$6.39/gal vs the US ~$4.43. Main drivers: highest state taxes (63.4¢/gal excise + sales tax/fees), unique CARB cleaner blend that costs more to make and limits supply sources, environmental fees (cap-and-trade + LCFS adding ~30-40¢), and an isolated market with no inbound pipelines plus reduced refining capacity from closures.
Tell me the world wasn’t a better place when the players wore collars, the clown on top of the dugout loved America, and 75% of the fans looked like hitmen or undercover cops.
