Man, you guys in New York are stupid. 4 of your supertalls have been built in the last 10 years. Only 1 of ours has. If anything, YOU'RE finally catching up to US.

That's not ENTIRELY true, the main places people talk about for "authentic" deep dish pizza are always just tourist traps that suck. I'm looking at you, Giordano's, for example.

Which is kind of odd, because as a guy who was born in Chicago and has lived here almost my entire life, I always here how us Chicagoans are so desperate to prove our worth compared to New York.

Lone, solitary skyscraper? You fucking dipshit, not only did we invent the skyscraper here in Chicago, we have 6 building here that exceed the 300 meter "supertall" threshold which is, wait for it, just as many as New York City.

Just try it once, it might actually work for you uh... or so my friends have told me.

No, that's incorrect, Sox Park is closer to downtown than Wrigley, again, you cannot rely on the city grid system; the 800 address = 1 mile rule does not apply to the first three miles south of Madison; Roosevelt (1200 S) is Mile #1, Cermak (2200 S) is Mile #2, and 31st Street (3100 S) is mile #3. 35th Street is not…

At first glance, I thought that said "Mexico Are Definitely Going to Win The World Cup, Right?" and I thought, damn, Greg, you've completely lost your mind.

OK, but that's not true because the numbers don't measure the same distance on the North Side and South Side. Addison Street is 4.5 miles north of Madison. 35th Street is 3.5 miles south of Madison. So it's technically 8 blocks closer.

No, see, did you not read the post, baseball has been in the middle of a decades-long anti-suburban building boom, which is why the Braves moving from Atlanta to the suburbs is such a news story.

Lakeview had been part of the city of Chicago for several decades by time Wrigley was built.

They're actually not equidistant. When the addressing was formalized for the entire city, the rich folks who used to live in the Prairie District and other parts of the Near South Side didn't want to have to change their addresses, so 1st three miles south of Madison don't conform with the 800 addresses = 1 mile that…

That's not entirely true, the postal address system that places 0 N/S and 0 E/W at the corner of State and Madison didn't occur until approximately 1910 well after the city had started expanding outside of its original charter.

Chicago, though, is very different from most other cities in America, even though Wrigley may be further away from the "city center" it's still very well served by public transportation and still the anchor for probably the most vibrant urban neighborhood ANY sports team in America plays in.

D-Rose definitely the only pro athlete out there who has some jewelry

Born and raised in Chicago and Wrigley is also a dump. The Cubs are about to pump several hundred millions of dollars in renovations, and the renderings do look nice, but we'll see. It's still a 100-year-old building that wasn't even built for a Major League team.

Maybe you should just sit the next few plays out, Champ

Yeah, I get all that shit, again, you may have noticed that I didn't say everyone in cars needs to immediately get rid of them and bike everywhere. I'm just saying, cities need to make it as easy as possible for people to ride bikes, take public transit, and generally offer alternatives to private car ownership so…

It's hard to imagine a more unlikable character in this mess than Incognito, but the NFL's main media partners; ESPN and Fox, stumbling over themselves to make excuses or clean his image is coming awfully close.

Exactly

Amateurs are hilarious
