I am more convinced than ever that the Bears will be building their new stadium in Arlington Heights. I expect a vote in the next 10 days to approve the Mega Projects bill. And, it will be a bipartisan deal that gets it done. Hallelujah. #TakeThat

No, an 85 year old man who called the 13 dollar bet with Ace King isn’t slow rolling your 8 high, Mr. Non-tipping-Euro-know-it-all, he just can’t read what you have instantly.

I’ve always been in the camp of the #Bears getting a new stadium in Arlington Heights • More space for parking • Metra train line runs through AH • Less crowded roads • Own the stadium and the land yourself If that’s the direction they end up going with, I’ll be a big fan

As a @ufc fan I can tell you there’s a clear solution to the heavyweight situation, which I’ll get to later itt. It’s just insulting at this point to have to list to @danawhite continually glaze @JonnyBones as p4p #1 and maintain the undisputed strap for 1.5 years without fighting. Everyone else other than Jon has been stripped at this point. Or if they haven’t (eg Khabib and <1.5 years), when they come back they have to fight the interim champ. Bones definitely might be the GOAT. That’s a clear, reasonable argument, and short of someone claiming PED disqualification one I think I agree with. However p4p =\= goat. And Jon isn’t the #1 p4p rn. IMO he’s not even top 5. He’s 37 and won one fight in 4.5 years. He should be lucky to even be on the p4p list simply due to inactivity. Having him #3 is too high. @Topuriailia , @dricusduplessis , @bullyb170 , @AspinallMMA should all definitely be higher. What’s worse is Dana is theoretically supposed to be promoting all these other fighters as well, so his dismissive way of promoting Jones at the expense of the rest of these killers on his roster is just bad promotion by their boss. Dana’s gotten a lot of things right. But this is clearly wrong. Also, Dana, maybe 1-2 years ago people cared about the Jones-Stipe fight for the undisputed belt. Now nobody other than Jon, Stipe, & you want that fight. The time passed. Aspinall is now the interim champ who somehow defended the interim belt. He’s beaten almost all the top heavyweights (Jones beat 1 only, Gane). Everyone who actually follows the sport wants to see Tom Vs Jones. If the next fight isn’t Jon vs Tom for the undisputed strap, then you should strip Jones and make Tom the undisputed champ. At that point you can make a legacy Jon vs Stipe fight. Winner of that fight can fight Tom for the undisputed belt if they don’t want to retire. That’s obviously the move here. Dana going on interview after interview making bad arguments about Jon being #1 p4p today because he’s had a great career is just out of line. I’m sure it must mostly be a way to promote him and this Stipe fight for the undisputed strap - which disrespects the entire heavyweight division, most of all Tom, at this point. It’s time to cut bait and change plans. Sunk cost fallacy at play here my guy. If you want MMA to be taken seriously as a sport, then the UFC as the runaway leader sometimes has to do the right thing for competitive reasons - especially at the top of the division. This is one of those moments, and I’m posting this as a call out. Still time to fix this.

Almost everyone I talk to at my tables thinks this should just be a 100% PLO double board bomb pot tournament. @WSOP please consider this for next year.
