With microblogvember, I’ve been thinking about how a lot more average thoughts are worth posts, even if it’s as simple as this. Worth in terms of blogging and the microblogging community as a whole, is worth its own blog post, if not an entire year of thought on its own.

Melo back?! In Portland?! Wonder if he will finally be willing to play the 4. Dame, CJ, Anfernee, Melo. Who needs defense? Worse than Houston’s and GS’s D?! 😂😂😂

Since the Nets have moved on to superstar mode, Caris LeVert (besides the injuries) would basically be the perfect 2 guard for the young Bulls moving forward. PG: White - SG: LeVert - SF: Hutchison (loving the strides this season) - PF: Lauri - C: Carter Jr.

The biggest negative about soccer is how one judgement call can swing an entire game. Liverpool should probably be down 0-1 rather than up 2-0 right now.

Regretting not doing a live blog for this Liverpool/City match! 🔴⚽️👍

We all came here from somewhere else, and everybody who wants to live in America and obey the law should be able to come too, and there’s no such thing as being more or less American, just American.

Heading to Denver for the weekend tomorrow. If you have any tips I’d love to hear them - staying around City Park, planning to walk around RiNo and hitting up some breweries: Cerebral, Ratio, TRVE, New Image, Black Project, and WeldWorks if I’m lucky (probably won’t hit all.)

Another beer label idea. Slowing iterating the design template.

Current Status: ready for the weekend-ready for a nap-ready for a beer.

COBY!

ESPN and Crooked Media throwing their hats in the daily podcast ring. ESPN Daily released their first episode today and What A Day will launch next Monday Oct 28. ESPN’s first show was decent. I’m always looking for a balance of in-depth reporting and what’s happening today.

I’ve been ruminating on a post about craft beer, the locality, freshness, and limitedness of the entire scene that’s been happening for the last five years, but really kicking up in the last two or three. So this is your warning when this becomes a Chicago Sports and Beer Blog.

But also, don’t sleep on Chicago’s own Jahlil Okafor. He’s had a tough few years, but the man can play on the offensive side.

While there are some crap teams, front offices are definitely getting better. Take a totally crap team like the Knicks; Smith PG, Barrett SF, Randle PF, Robinson C. That’s a fun lineup despite a cap of 25 wins. No idea what they are doing with the extra PFs but nobody’s perfect.

Trump, Brexit, Russia, Opiods, China, Saudi Arabia, Climate Change, Turkey, Assault Rifles, Spain. It’s a scary world out there. Be safe, be kind, and don’t think solely about your wallet. That’s all.
