It took until 2025

First Team USA camp with Kara Lawson. Looks as if she’s trying to evaluate the newcomers, which makes sense.
The JuJu addition is interesting since she’s still recovering from the torn ACL. But good to bring her in because when she is healthy, she won’t be able to get to camps during the season.

Opinion | ‘We Had No Idea What Was Coming’: Caring for My Aging Father

If you read one thing today, make it this.
If you have not yet dealt with an aging parent, lucky you. It is emotionally devastating for all, financially devastating for many. And it’s going to get worse.

Three lessons in unethical media behavior Plus: Some moments that made me proud to be a journalist

For those of us who teach journalism students about ethics, we've had some astonishingly clear lessons recently, including one from a former NYT reporter. Great stuff from @sulliview.bsky.social

This keeps getting worse.

Trinity Rodman needs a new contract. Can the Spirit keep her? NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman said her league will “fight” to keep the U.S. national team star amid interest from abroad.

“We want Trinity in our league,” NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman said, “and we will fight for her.”

Pretty in Pink. Monday's sunrise in Chicago.

Uhhh, what the hell happened in this Philly-Dallas game?

Well now this is interesting. Stolz finishes third in the mass start; before last weekend, he hadn’t raced it since 2021.

US men win the team pursuit for the second weekend in a row and Jordan Stolz wins the second 500-meter race in Calgary.

Not sure how Rudolph got away from Sweat there. Sweat had arms around him but Rudolph somehow broke free.

CBS completely missed a 54-yard run by Kenneth Gainwell because they were in a commercial.

Gainwell was marked short of the goal line and the Steelers scored on the next play.

DJ Moore gets whistled for taunting. No matter. Scores on a gorgeous 25-yard catch to put Bears up 24-21.

And Caleb almost makes it three, with a ball that goes off Pierre's hands

Bears had 2 turnovers in their last 6 games. They have 2 in first half vs Steelers

Make better choices than I did today in coming to this game, folks.
Bears fumble, recovered by Pittsburgh. That's forced TOs on last two drives by Bears.

Wait a minute...you mean to tell me thousands of the most beautiful women on earth didn't all randomly decide to join Twitter in 2023?????

And now the ugliness is all by the Bears. TJ Watt with the strip sack, Herbig recovers in EZ to give Pittsburgh a 14-7 lead.

Another moment from Saturday Night in Chicago to kick off the holiday season.

Since that INT, Rudolph is 6-6 and Steelers have tied it at 7 on DK Metcalf's rushing TD.
(Had originally been called pass play.)

Bears CB Tyrique Stevenson is heading to the locker room with an apparent injury.

More badness for Pittsburgh as Gainwell muffs the KO return. He recovers, but Steelers starting from their own 5.

Bears make Pittsburgh pay. Caleb connects with DJ Moore on 5-yard scoring pass to give Bears 7-0 lead.

Bears 23 takeaways are most in 1st 11 games of a season since Eagles had 23 in 2022

Wrote about this several months ago. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

And now a woooof by Mason Rudolph, who is starting in place of the injured Aaron Rodgers. Looking for Metcalf and gets picked by Nahshon Wright along the sideline.

Wooof. Bears have a forgettable opening series, with Caleb lucky to not get picked on 3rd and six. Dugger got his hand on the ball and it fell near two other Steelers.

If you want to support a winning team in New York, root for the women 😏

New York has won a professional championship 3 years in a row - and every trophy has been lifted by women 🏆

Heidi Stevens: After Trump’s ‘Quiet, piggy’ moment, we’re done asking why survivors don’t come forward, right? If we’re going to become a nation that truly protects children and women, we have to stop giving a pass to sexual abusers, writes Heidi Stevens.

Thought-provoking column by the always brilliant @heidikstevens.bsky.social, who makes the connection between “Quiet, piggy” and why women who’ve been abused don’t come forward.
