“Even though it was 10 hours long, there was so much left on the cutting room floor,” “Last Dance” director Jason Hehir (Mikey Day) explains, setting up the supposedly extended scene, which begins with Michael-Key’s Jordan losing a $5 bet on the quarters game and quickly devolves into a total debasement of Gardner’s Wozniak.
“There are differences, a little more freedom, especially not wearing a mask,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Sunday. “But I’m not sure when we go to Minnesota (Monday), what we’ll do there as far as getting away from the hotel. But knock on wood, we are trending in the right direction, not just baseball, but as a country.”
The class even includes someone who has been a Hall of Famer for 46 years already: The 11-time NBA champion Bill Russell, enshrined in 1975 as a player, has been selected again as a coach. Russell becomes the fifth Hall of Famer who will be inducted as both a player and a coach, joining John Wooden, Lenny Wilkens, Bill Sharman and Tommy Heinsohn.
“I said, ‘All right, I’ll be right back, I’m going to go talk to Fonzie right quick, my homeboy Fonzie.’ … Next thing I know, Dazz done punched Deon in the nose. Deon gets out the car, hands full of blood. … Like, he’s 2 years old and punched his brother in the nose.
“I don’t think anyone thought he was going to play today,” Sox starter XXX XXX said. “I know I was surprised to see him in the lineup, but that’s the kind of guy he is. Very seldom do you see him come out of a game, at least when you think something’s hurting or whatnot. I haven’t seen him ever, I don’t know if you guys recall, but obviously the situation yesterday definitely called for him to come out of the game but like I said, none of us were expecting him to play today and let alone hit a home run. That’s the kind of leader Jose Abreu is.”
“It’ll definitely be weird seeing them in different uniforms, but unfortunately that’s the nature of what we do. The Cubs have a business to run, and they have to do what they feel is necessary to set them up for the future, whether it be financially or the guys on the field. It’s a hard thing to separate, but hopefully those guys are all there and it’s a moot question and they continue to have that core.
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2020 ceremony had to be rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This weekend, the nine individuals were finally inducted during a enshrinement ceremony at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. .
Still, it’s easy to see up close why the giddiness of Bears fans is being shared by the coaches and higher-ups at 1920 Football Drive in Lake Forest. Even during pre-practice stretching, Fields’ presence stands out. At 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds, he’s both sleek and sturdy. Even as he jogs to warm up, he seems to have a noticeable purpose about him, exuding a contagious energy that reminds teammates of the work that needs to get done.
With this saga swirling, talk of the race itself took a back seat, but there was little evidence of the week’s tumult on a mellow Preakness day. The race returned to its familiar date on the third Saturday in May, and fans were back in limited numbers (10,000 compared to 131,256 at the last pre-pandemic Preakness in 2019). But there was no raging infield party and no threat of rainstorms to add anxiety to the proceedings.
