“Claims that kids need ‘make-up time’ as a response to the pandemic instability may come from good intentions, but just don’t make sense,” the petition states. “There is no evidence that simply adding days changes potential ‘learning loss,’ and an earlier school start will further weaken the already ailing tourism and hospitality industries.”
“I can only imagine the trauma to the hearts and minds of residents up and down the block that day as they took cover in their own homes. Our homes are supposed to be safe places. Places of refugee, peace, not fear and violence,” Brown said. “There was no rhyme or reason for a gunfight in broad daylight, and every resident deserves better.”
“This group has mutual feelings about where we’re at, Billy included, and our players,” he said. “Our record, 34-21, is pretty good in the East, and we’ve done it short-handed. In order to add players, we’re just going to use our injured reserves, the ones that are going to come back, and I think we’re going to be a good group getting Zo and getting Alex and getting Patrick and getting Derrick back.
In bond court Thursday, a lawyer for Villegas, Irena Stefanovski, described him as a father of a 15-year-old and two adult children, including one who is a Chicago police officer. Villegas’ wife offered to post $1,000 for the officer’s release, but Judge Barbara Dawkins said the amount was too low considering the couple also own a restaurant.

“Ultimately, we’re going to play hard, we’re going to play smart, we’re going to take the ball away, but there are many different ways of doing that. There’s no real one way to skin a cat, so I would be remiss if I just said, ‘You know what, I’m bringing in my system and it’s going to be my stamp and it’s going to be mine, mine, mine.’ Nope. That’s not a good thing. It’s going to be ours.”
Anthony got out of the front-passenger side of the car and walked up to Michael, then shot a handgun at Michael’s head, Murphy said. Michael fell to the ground, and Anthony stood over him, shooting nine more times in “rapid succession,” said Murphy.
Coach Billy Donovan and All-Star DeMar DeRozan echoed confidence in the current roster, which has lifted the Bulls to a tie for third place in the Eastern Conference with a 34-21 record. But that doesn’t leave out the possibility for a move on the buyout market, likely to shore up short-term concerns about guard depth and a lack of size across the roster.

“We thought, 20, 21 days, whatever we had in 2020 was a problem for us,” Manfred said, referring to the pandemic-shortened schedule. “The injury data supports that idea. We’d like to be 28. I’m trying not to be hard and fast. But we think more like four weeks makes sense.”
