This is the birthday of Chuck Culpepper, whose inimitable writing (and that’s pretty literal) for my hometown newspaper is surpassed only by his great friendship to so many people in this wide world.

As always, we hope to meet again somewhere closer than Australia.

When the book on this season’s Premier League title race is written, there ought to be a full chapter on that Tottenham breakaway.

The last newspapers ever to be printed in the City of Chicago.

Cheers to the Chicago Tribune Pressmen and Presswomen who made this miracle happen every night at the Freedom Center.

Tonight, the Freedom Center prints the Chicago Tribune for the last time.

The plant prints almost every paper in Chicago — Sun Times, NYT & more. It’s closing to make way for a casino. Most workers opted to not move to the Trib’s new Schaumburg plant & will lose their jobs.🧵:

'It's Never Over' read the t-shirt.

Was it ever going to end any other way?

Emma Hayes asked for forgiveness when asked about her concession of the title, but showed her most vulnerable side as she opened up post-match about just why it's now she is walking away.

With their 3-0 road victory over the New England Revolution, the Philadelphia Union (seven matches) tied the 2009 Chicago Fire (seven) for the second-longest road unbeaten streak to start a season in MLS history. The 2013 Portland Timbers currently hold the record (nine).
