Sometimes sports journo, sometimes comms pro, always a maker. Love Chicago. Probably making a Taskmaster or Murder, She Wrote joke. I won't answer any questions you can Google. I'm here for conversation, not debate. I mute whining about officials.

Didn't make it to Uptown Theater because the lines were crazy, but did stop in at All Saints Episcopal Church and walked around Ravenswood, Lincoln Square and Uptown for a lovely morning. This city, man.

I get to go see my quilt hanging in a show tonight. It’s this quilt, and it’s the first time I’ve ever had my work hanging. It will be at Gallery Wrightwood for the next few weeks!

My dad has had a lot of medical issues, and if there wasn’t all this accessibility, we probably couldn’t have had this amazing day. But because they did, we got this moment!

The Sky's year-end awards push is based on Chicago "dawgs," as that is the chain they hand out at the end of each game. Absolutely adorable.

USA Basketball's game notes are ones I always read because they always have a theme that makes me giggle. During the Olympics, it was Taylor Swift songs. This week? It's football.
Red Zone Ready: The USA raced out to a 36-12 lead after the first quarter, thanks in part to a 15-0 run from approx. 5:10 to 2:38. Napheesa Collier led the way with 10 points. The starters – Collier, Kahleah Cooper, Chelsea Gray, Breanna Stewart and Jackie Young – combined for 24 points in the period.
Per FIBA, 36 points are the second-most in a World Cup first quarter by any team in the 21st century (USA, 37, vs. Belarus, 2010). Through four games, the U.S. are +24 in the first five minutes and +79 in the first quarter. The red, white and blue scored 59 in the f irst half for their best first half quarterfinal total (prev. 53, 3 times).
Line to Gain: Stewart’s illustrious World Cup career stats continued to pile up in her 24th win. She reached 250 career points today with 8 to become the eighth American to reach that mark. Additionally, she is now one of four U.S. players to tally at least 50 assists, reaching 51 today.
Chip Shot: Collier led all scorers with 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3FG), tying the U.S. mark for the tournament (Stewart, 19 vs. CZE). She broke the )

Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter has released a statement on Enes Kanter Freedom's lawsuit:
We received word that the entity owning the Chicago Sky is being sued by Mr. Enes Kanter Freedom for allegedly violating his First Amendment rights. This lawsuit is meritless and frivolous. 

 

Freedom’s claim that he was removed from Wintrust Arena due to his speech is false. As his own complaint acknowledges, he wore the shirt in question for multiple hours without any contact with security. Security removed Freedom only after he violated fan code of conduct by rising from his seat, gesturing at a player, and stepping toward the court. 

 

Freedom was removed for his conduct, not his speech. We look forward to the truth prevailing in court.

 

At the advice of our legal counsel, given that there is now pending litigation, we will have no further public comments on the matter outside of the courtroom.”

Dijonai Carrington is out on the court warming up. She's listed as questionable for the game, but she also showed up to the game in a leather catsuit. That doesn't feel like a want to sit on the bench for hours kind of look.

Here's most of her statement:
in most of these occasions, it's men, and I want you to know that is the gayest thing that you can do is to go to a store, a sex shop, buy a dildo, come to a women's game to throw the dildo on the court. That is the gayest shit that I've ever heard. So I'm a firm believer in anyone that has so much problem with a certain marginalized group, just come out and say that you're a part of our marginalized group because that hate is unwarranted. It's not factual, and it says more about the internal struggles of that individual than it ever will say about the collective group. Men, the men that are throwing it, but also shows that you are weak, like extremely weak, and it says a lot about how you feel about women. But we don't care. It's a disruption of the game. Y'all name a shit to us. Y'all gay to us. We see it. So keep throwing them. If you just want to keep telling us you're gay, you can you can come out. Once we have it, you'll be nicer to people. You'll be happier in your life. You don't need to go to therapy or nothing. And green, like get your skin color. Sorry. Thank you for asking me that. I've been waiting for this question. No.

Tyler Marsh was effusive on his praise of Maddy in pregame, and said this about her health:
Yeah, she's been well. She played. I think her last game played was Dallas. Dallas game. Yeah, she had just kind of came back from her initial injury into training camp, and then she had tweaked her thumb around All Star break just before All Star break, and so she had been recovering from there, but had been making good progress. And so, but yeah, I think that you know once she's once she's fully healthy, she'll be able to contribute.
