No One Understands One Battle After Another - Part One
I loved "One Battle After Another." This three-part video is one of the sharpest pieces of film analysis I've ever seen. Breaks down the politics behind OBAA, connecting Bush to Obama's rise to the 2008 bailouts to the tea party to Obama's decline to Trump.

To Johnny Bach, king of the Dobermans
The late great Bach made everyone happy except opposing offenses.
Last week, I wrote about the brilliant and beloved Bulls assistant coach JOHNNY BACH. He was a players' favorite, including for both Jordan and Pippen.
I wonder: would Michael and Scottie be feuding if Johnny Bach was alive?

NEW: Phil Jackson on Scottie-MJ beef
In their new book, Phil Jackson and Sam Smith address "unfortunate" falling out
“Michael’s upset about the fact that he lost a twenty-year relationship with this guy. He was hurt. Whoever was advising Scottie, to me, that’s the issue.”
— Phil Jackson in the new book Masters of The Game, written by Phil and Sam Smith

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.
U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

I just found this. Thank you @pointlessexercise.com for the writeup, but especially the part at the end that I've highlighted here. That's the subtext of what I discussed with Dan and Matt: that everyone needs to think a bit more about how we get our information.

Can the Cubs activate Sammy?
And, how not to report about anything you want people to actually believe
Tomorrow's post today and it's free! -- Kyle Tucker's still hurt, Sammy looks back on two monumental homers and Dan Bernstein puts his new pod to good use by having Jack Silverstein dismantle the Tyler Dunne-Caleb Williams nonsense. www.pointlessexercise.com/can-the-cubs...

I turned 8 in '89!
2005 was just something else. We were spared a bad Hawks team because of the lockout, but Sox won the World Series, Bears and Bulls had incredible "back from nowhere" seasons, the Illini almost won the title and the mid Cubs had Derrek Lee going for the triple crown.
