It seems like he saw he had to play the ball as the defense was beaten and the bounce caught him off guard. He would have headed it or trapped it, but it was 2 feet over his head. He’d lose the race to get the ball, so he grabbed it to prevent the goal and instantly knew he was getting a red card. It seems crazy, but…

Hopefully they open up 90W today/tonight. Last night coming home from O’Hare at 11:00 they knocked 90W down to ONE lane from Arlington Heights Rd. to past 53 for as far as I could see. It took me 30 minutes to make that part of the trek before I escaped to 53N heading anywhere other than 90. It was a disaster.
