my understanding of ditka is that to anyone under 35 he is just a goofy mascot character who means "da bears" and to people who were born in the 1980s he was sort of a local campy guy who was on TV; to a lot of chicago-area elder millennials he was a version of Mr. T that their dads liked

Signing Andy Dalton as your Savvy Veteran Backup, having him play exactly one time, throw a backbreaking red zone interception on his only pass, and then releasing him is incredibly funny

going beyond coverage of Northwestern football to provide an important check-in with Pennsylvania sports

It has not been a particularly great couple of weeks for Pennsylvania sports. It started with mummified quarterback Case Keenum being unwrapped for the first time in centuries in order to wreak havoc on the Eagles’ secondary in a Monday night horror show. Then, Penn State got dismantled partly at the hands of former Eagles coach Chip Kelly, who many Eagles fans still seem to be mad at for some reason. The Phillies were eliminated from the playoffs on the same night that Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers lost to the debaculous Cleveland Browns while Rodgers screamed at his coaches and stewed on the sidelines like someone had turned off his youtube video about Medicinal Dirts right when they were getting to the good part about how the Medical Establishment is once again suppressing Dirts Research. Then on Sunday, the Eagles blew a lead to the Rams that climaxed with fans throwing things at the Rams’ coaching box and then going on their beloved local newscast and cutting professional wrestling promos about how mad they are about the Eagles, which seems to be such an innate part of Philadelphia civic identity I assume that all Philadelphia students have a special unit in sixth grade about saying to a reporter “I’d like to throw this coach in a snow blower.”

they were charging like $94 dollars for end zone seats at the lake the first year too. I am confused because to me the sole way I've ever been able to get someone to go to a northwestern game is "you can watch them play Purdue for $25."

This is as clearly as I've seen this spelled out. If the PCSA smelled off to you but you didn't know quite why, this interview offers very lucid proof that you were correct. defector.com/an-antitrust...

What you're saying is, the antitrust exemptions in the NBA, MLB, NFL, etc. are allowed as a result of the collective bargaining process, whereas the PCSA seeks a similar exemption by circumventing the collective bargaining process. Is that correct?

Generally, yes. When we talk specifically about labor markets, all of the restraints that we see in labor markets of our professional sports leagues—the salary cap, the draft, the limits on player movement, every single one of them—to the extent that they're exempt from antitrust law, are the products of good-faith collective bargaining between the management group and the players group, and exist in a collective bargaining agreement that was reached through good-faith bargaining.

What is being proposed with the Protect College Sports Act is to establish the exact same types of labor restraints, specifically a salary cap, specifically a number of years of eligibility to compete in college sports, and specifically limits on transfers, but not to do so in collective bargaining where there are representatives in the room, on behalf of employer and employee, but rather through a legislative bill, which seems to be negotiated by a number of different constituent groups, none of which is a representative of the players in any meaningful sense, and absolutely none of which have been chosen and selected by the players as a union representative.

this might be the largest stretch I've seen for a wikipedia Controversy section on a song (dirty deeds done dort cheap)

Controversy

In 1981, Norman and Marilyn White of Libertyville, Illinois filed a $250,000 lawsuit in Lake County, Illinois Circuit Court against Atlantic Records and its distributors because, they alleged, their telephone number was included in the song, resulting in hundreds of prank phone calls. Their attorney told the Chicago Tribune that the song's 36-24-36 digits were followed by a "hey!", which to his clients sounded like an "8", thus creating the couple's phone number.[7]
