These new Jordan laughing memes are hilarious
There is a new meme where people are taking a clip from ‘The Last Dance’ of Michael Jordan laughing at something on a tablet and editing in another video to get some priceless reactions.
Like this one of Lebron James calling himself the greatest player of all time.
They combined the clip of Lebron saying he’s the GOAT with the Jordan laughing clip. The internet wins LMAOOOO pic.twitter.com/FwMZLSMvZh

‘Hamilton’ movie skipping theaters for Disney+
The smash-hit hip-hop musical ‘Hamilton’ which raked in millions at live theaters, is skipping it’s anticipated release in movie theaters for a summer release on the popular streaming service. Disney+. The anticipated movie adaption which will feature notable historical figures from the formative years of the U.S.A will drop on the fitting date of July 3rd.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created and starred in the musical joined Disney mega-boss Bob Iger to announced the news today on ‘Good Morning America’ which has been met with some very positive reactions to fans of musical theater online.
This means the movie will come out over a year before it’s originally scheduled release of October 15. 2021. It’s another sign of Hollywood studios trying to redirect their resources in these COVID-19 times as thousands of cinemas around shuttered around the world.
Miranda sold the transition of the musical to film as giving viewers “the best seat in the house” and that it features the original cast from performances on stage in June of 2016.
Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo covers Nirvana on piano
The music world is seeing many covers popping up online and this one is quite the treat: Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo covered Nirvana’s moody classic “Heart Shaped Box”. Using his swooning tone Rivers covered the song during a recent live stream with just piano. It’s quite the rendition to say the least.
Weezer appeared on ‘the Simpsons’ this past Sunday where they premiered a new song Blue Dream’ off their delayed upcoming album ‘Van Weezer’. You may heard the song ‘End of the Game’ from that album on 101WKQX.. See what the band looked like on the Simpsons here. ‘

Brought me to tears.
MLB announces that baseball is coming back in 2020!!
It looks like we are going to have a baseball season after all.
MLB team owners have met and discussed a possible season start in early July.
The MLB owners have approved a proposal to present to players, as @Ken_Rosenthal reported. They plan to meet tomorrow to discuss it.
Now is when it starts to get serious. And we’ll know soon enough if baseball is actually coming back in 2020.

The #MLB proposal that was agreed upon among the owners and submitted to the union now calls for a 50-50 revenue split. https://t.co/iG7fd7PN4k

I sure hope so, I would watch pro bowling at this point!!

How can you watch it? Well.. From home!
They will be doing a huge loop around the city working their way from the Southside all the way up north, finishing their route up out west, so you should be able to get a good view of them right from your very own home.
Enjoy the fly over and remember to stay home and stay safe!
Man decorates wall with gummy bears after asked to put something up that is “tasteful”

Thats over 6,000 gummy bears on the wall.
I mean… it looks very tasty.
So I guess he nailed it!
This kid found an awesome hack for online schooling
Teachers can’t expect students to actually be responsible right???
With Zoom classes being all the rage now a-days, well not by choice, some students have found some interesting ways to skip class.
This might be the best one yet!
Impressive levels of laziness have been unlocked during quarantine!!
Did Kristin Cavallari post a mother’s day tribute to herself on Jay Cutler’s Instagram??
The soon to be divorced couple have been in the headlines a lot recently, this time something seems a little funny.
It looks like the former Bears Quarterback posted a touching instagram tribute to the mother of his 3 children, and soon to be ex-wife Kristen Cavallari and she responded with a simple heart, which seems normal… But there may be more here.
View this post on Instagram
Happy Mother’s day to all the moms. These 3 little ones picked a good one.
Kristin Cavallari and her team created an Instagram account for Jay Cutler because he didn’t have one. They originally made all the posts… so did she make this one to herself?????
That would be amazingly funny, but reports from the former couple say no. Jay has full control of the account now and actual made that post himself.
They may not want to be married to each other anymore, but they are still parents together!!
The Lakefront and 606 may be closed, but there are lots of other parks open!
Saturday was one of those perfect Chicago weather days and I took advantage by driving up the Lake Michigan Circle Tour all the way to Zion and got in some hiking at the Illinois State Beach. The Lakefront and 606 may be closed, but there are still lots of parks and resources open where you and your family can go hiking, fishing, boating (with no more than 2 people in the boat) even picnicking while practicing safe social distancing. Stay safe and get outside! <3 Lauren
Illinois parks open for limited use during COVID-19
Top 3/Bottom 3: Episodes 7 and 8 of The Last Dance
Episodes 6 and 7 of The Last Dance aired last night, and we are loving every single minute of it. I mean, if we have to be stuck inside forever, what better way to pass the time than by watching MJ and Pippen dunk all over Patrick Ewing amirite? Here are the top 3 moments we loved from last night, and 3 that we didn’t.
TOP 3
“Way to go, Craig.” Episode 7 was incredibly quotable, but we got our best one just a few seconds in to the episode. After being asked a question Jerry Krause clearly didn’t want to answer, causing him to storm out of a press conference that had barely started, someone chimed in with a “Nice one, Craig” towards whoever asked the question. This needs to become our next go to insult when we need to drag a coworker for not muting their mic on a Zoom chat.
“Is there an echo?” “Guys Im getting feedback” “Oh sorry, thats me. Forgot to mute.” “WAY TO GO, CRAIG.”
“I’m Back” -Michael Jordan, upon announcing his return to the NBA. Coincidentally, also me, when the dining room at the Olive Garden opens back up.
Steve Kerr has no fear. Even before the Last Dance, the story of Steve Kerr getting punched in the face by Michael Jordan was widely known, but for the first time we got to hear the details of the story from both players involved. Turns out that Steve Kerr didn’t just take a punch to the face and keep going, he punched back! Dude has 8 NBA championships as a coach and player and his greatest accomplishment is that he went blow for blow with Michael Jordan. I bet he would even agree with that.
BOTTOM 3
THE DUNK. People forget how close the Bulls got to going to the NBA finals the year MJ went to play baseball. What people should never forget, is the greatest dunk in NBA history. The amount of disrespect Pippen delivers to Patrick Ewing (and then Spike Lee) is off the charts. Seriously, look at this. And then watch it again and again and again. They should’ve devoted at least 30 minutes on this dunk, and how Scottie Pippen should’ve been the MVP that year. In fact, as a Pippen guy, I’m a little upset with how tertiary his story has been this entire series. Give this man the spotlight he deserves, dammit!
RIP James Jordan. James Jordan’s murder was such a tragedy. What made it worse was that some members of the media wrote articles questioning if Michael Jordan’s gambling issues had anything to do with it, despite absolutely no evidence indicating that. Imagine how awful that must be, to not only lose a family member, but to be blamed for it as well? Gross.
Michael Jordan, ruining people. The only thing more disrespectful than the Pippen dunk in these episodes, was Michael Jordan calling Scott Burrell a HO multiple times. OUTRAGEOUS. Also, Toni Kukoc has never recovered from the abuse he took from Jordan and Pippen, you can hear it in his voice every time he speaks. Poor Toni. Someone send him a fruit basket.
Cuties of the day: This dog biker gang
Check out these dogs hanging out on a motorcycle like it’s no big deal.
They’re the cutest bikers I’ve ever seen!
I don’t see a single helmet though… Safety first!
What’s so scary about a rubber Chicken??
I’m not sure what scared this guy so much about a rubber chicken, but his reaction is hilarious!
They’re coming from the sky! It’s raining chickens!
Pete Davidson asks fans to stop bringing weed to his moms house
Pete Davidson really loves his fans.
That being said, he has asked them to stop bringing him weed to his mom’s house.
Yes… he still lives with his mom.
There is a time and place people! Just stay home and let Pete Davidson get his own weed!
