Trae Young is delusional if he thinks anyone is offering a full or multi-year max. Not many teams need a PG & this draft is loaded w PG's. I predict something in the 3 year 90-105 range. IMO, that's a really generous offer, he shouldn't be getting more than Giddey got last year.

Watch original unedited footage not yet posted here.

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20 officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

This! I went to London last year and could only find great food at the ethnic spots. That said, the Brits know how to do fucking tea! Tea time was crazy!

The entire world is enjoying American food except for the UK. They are fighting for their right to eat a cold onion and cheese sandwich 😂

A thing I'd like to point out about the negativity around the Bears new stadium, be it criticism of the state of Illinois, Chicago's mayor, & the Hammond, IN site, is that a large portion of Bears media lives near Arlington Heights and they want a new stadium in their back yard.
