I’m making cheddar brats for lunch today and I’m extremely excited because I’m using a cast iron miller lite simmer recipe that’s been passed down my family for generations. More on that in a minute.
For now and before I sink my teeth into these sausages, I just wanted to share a quick lunch blog in the 12:30pm slot with arguably the greatest picture ever taken in western civilization.
Or is it eastern civilization? I have a hard time drawing geopolitical lines once we put China in the mix.
What’s easier to say is that Yao Ming is fucking GIGANTIC. My goodness. How is he still alive? And why does this picture make me so happy?
I have so many questions and none of them need to be answered right now.
What matters is that D Rose has a big ass smile on his face and that’s because he loves hanging out with Yao Ming in China on unofficial state department visits to strengthen cultural relations through shared sport:
Or something like that.
What I can say confidently is D-Rose is easily #1 on my list of What If’s in Chicago sports of this millennium:
- D Rose stays healthy
- Alou catches foul ball
- Cody Parkey makes the kick
- Kerry Wood & Mark Prior never hurt
- White Sox keep Fernando Tatis Jr.
- Jason Heyward doesn’t suck
- White Sox keep Aaron Rowand
- Good weather for Bears vs. Colts Super Bowl
- Jay Williams motorcyle accident
- White Sox re-hire Tony LaRussa
There’s a lot of moving parts to that list but I think one thing for certain is that D Rose is #1 with a bullet.
What are you changing?
