So folks at @espn are upset ND isn’t playing in a bowl game after weeks of folks politicking against the lack of conference affiliation, using them as a pawn for their CFB playoff selection show, having the ACC network play the UM/ND game on repeat for 48 hours during Conf Champ week BUT now it’s a bad look they don’t want to serve ESPN’s best interest by playing in an exhibition bowl game? Got it.
For those who are unconvinced of Chicago Park District Superintendent Carlos Ramirez Rosa's contempt for Chicago Police, let this account erase any doubt.
Carlos Ramirez Rosa is scum.
Nearly 7 years ago, Chicago Police Officers Eduardo Marmolejo and Conrad Gary were killed when they were struck by a South Shore train while pursuing a suspect at 103rd and Dauphin.
A K9 statue dedicated to Ofc. Marmolejo was to be unveiled today at King-Lockhart Park at 106th and Western (19th Ward).
King-Lockhart Park was specifically chosen as the site by Marmolejo's family.
Though the planning for the statue dates back months — CPD worked in close collaboration with the family and Park District and promoted the event — at the 11th hour, the cop-hating Rosa denied space at King-Lockhart for the Marmolejo K9 statue.
No apparent reason from Rosa was given to the family for the reversal.
A reliable hunch is Rosa's progressive ideology forbids him from honoring Police.
Instead, the K9 statue was displayed today at the CPD Academy on West Jackson Blvd.
This decision to pull the rug out from underneath the Marmolejo family is no trivial slight, but a kick in the teeth at a family who lives in perpetual grief.
This denial of space to permanently place a monument honoring a man who gave his life while serving Chicago represents Rosa's unparalleled hatred for CPD.

Something is amiss here.
Rank-and-file CFD have gone without a contract and pay raise for four years, yet exempt CFD and administrative staff just got a 3 percent raise today.
Now, CFD is hiring staff assistants, yet the starting pay is higher than offered to new firefighters.
Aldermen who disgraced themselves by voting in favor of settling with the estate of a man, Dexter Reed, who shot and wounded a CPD:
Daniel La Spata (1)
William Hall (6)
Gregory Mitchell (7)
Jeanette Taylor (20)
Ronnie Mosely (21)
Mike Rodriguez (22)
BS Lopez (26)
Walter Burnett (27)
Jason Ervin (28)
Dim-Bulb Rossana (33)
Anthony Quezada (35)
Emma Mitts (37)
This really is the most Bulls part of the whole thing. A ton of his former teammates are in town tonight to celebrate with him — but instead of retiring the number now with everybody around, let’s all come back in a year to fill up the UC one more time. Pretty classic.
Few can say they narrated Penguins history.
Joe Brand, Phil Bourque, Josh Getzoff, and Mike Rupp had the opportunity of a lifetime to call Sid's 600th goal.
Brand: "To be a very, very small part of that historic moment is very humbling." Read more: https://t.co/virgRttMYL
1st down at the Bengals' 29. Jim Harbaugh could have knelt/QB sneaked to settle for a FG.
Nope. He ran the ball. Dobbins didn't fumble. He scored a 29-yard TD.
Oh, and Harbaugh called timeout before the Bengals' Hail Mary too.
