Best part of the Simmons deal? He's under contract for two more seasons after this season. So assuming Caleb gets his 5th year picked up before his big payday, Simmons is under contract for the remainder of Caleb's rookie deal.

The Bears now have both of the Mississippi State D-linemen from when Iowa played them in the Outback Bowl. Already had Sweat, and now have Simmons.

Enshittification comes for everything. What a miserable time for consumers. Everything is against us.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — DoorDash agrees to buy Instacart for $17 billion in a big consolidation of the grocery delivery business.
The World Series parade has to have a sausage race incorporated into it, right?
@kantwistaye.bsky.social Congratulations. Definitely soak it all in and get everything you can get your hands on between now and, like, spring training. Or whenever the lockout ends.
Can't exactly say I'm thrilled by this outcome, but I will say the Brewers deserve it. They won 103 games during the regular season, and it became pretty clear once they swept the Dodgers that this was going to be the final outcome.
The Green Bay Packers now have the longest championship drought among pro sports teams in the state of Wisconsin.
The final inning of baseball for God knows how long is about to start on FOX.
ICE is not about immigration. Think about the difference between an arrest and a kidnapping. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on our streets.
The Vikings, (AZ) Cardinals, Browns, Saints, and Bucs owners have all donated $$$ to Tafoya, as have the Wild and Kings (NHL), Glen Taylor, John Stockton and Terry McAulay (former NFL ref on SNF).
I wrote about how NFL owners are spending on the midterms. Nearly all of the $18 million they've spent has gone to Republicans, although Arthur Blank donated to AOC. frontofficesports.com/article/nfl-...
25 years ago today, Mike Brown made one of the most memorable plays in Bears history. One week later, he did it again! My interview with Mike, the most in-depth he ever gave on his two miracle plays. Bear Down! @wiltfongjr.bsky.social www.windycitygridiron.com/2021/10/19/2...

There's a week to go, but I believe we have a winner for "most surprising donation of 2026."

Last month, Kirk Herbstreit said he doesn't follow politics or pick sides. Which was nonsense. Just last week, Herbstreit quietly headlined a fundraising dinner for Alabama's second-biggest PAC. The very next day, the PAC sent $155,000 to Tommy Tuberville. www.foiaball.com/p/kirk-herbs...
Apolitical Kirk Herbstreit is actually a GOP fundraiser
He headlined a pro-Tuberville PAC event last week.
