If a team I can't watch during the season because they're on a channel I don't get, gets to the playoffs at hours I won't stay up for and falls in the woods, do they make a sound? #Cubs

My family is voting on which hotel they prefer for our next vacation without even considering the proximity to In and Out Burger. I may have failed as a father.

Ian Happ throwing a ball into the bleachers with $300 for fans to buy beer reminds me of the time Dave Kingman threw a ball with his dry cleaning ticket to fans asking someone to pick up his dry cleaning for him.

The Avenger's Endgame: Deluxe Edition includes a scene where Thanos adds a seventh infinity stone that doesn't do anything. It's just for fashion.

The baller move is to get the press credentials restored and then still not show up briefings.

After a rain drenched weekend in Chicago, my coworker noticed a lot of people were out today for the holiday. I responded, "Well you know what they say? When it rains, it Yom Kippurs".

At the end of the day, I find myself asking one question: Why am I limiting myself to one question? I could have several things on my mind.

The premise of the Muppet Show should be time travel to kill Hitler as a baby. Or at least amuse him enough he doesn't grow up to be a jerk. Could be a double time travel. Amuse him. If it didn't work time travel again and kill.

Weird Al Yankovic has taken down the release of his song "Alito Shuffle" a parody of Boz Skagg's "Lido Shuffle" about the surmised retirement of Justice Alito.

With all the TV coverage of the Great American State Fair, I didn't want to be left out so I decided to go out to my empty backyard and walk around in the grass to experience what it must be like there in person.

There are more people in my office than at the National Mall so I feel okay about calling this place a Great American State Fair celebration.

Leaked footage from Avengers Doomsday shows that Doctor Doom's origin comes from a dimension where Tony Stark brews a 'breakfast blend' Keurig pod after lunchtime which alters him while simultaneously opening a wormhole to Earth 616.

The best part about being the first one to work is walking around the office pretending I'm in "Backrooms" and all the weird tchotchke on peoples' desks are inventions of a sentient dimensional portal.
