Maybe they didn’t love each other while playing together, but dang they were good.
It is known that Shaq and Kobe Bryant had a feud against one another while playing together for the Los Angeles Lakers, but Isiah Rider. lets loose that Shaq was willing to put up $10 grand to anyone who would fight Kobe.
J.R. Rider telling the story of joining the Lakers and Shaq letting him know he has $10,000 cash if Rider fought Kobe is absolutely hilarious. Better though is Jackson’s response. (h/t All the Smoke) pic.twitter.com/FBME9Rf5Kp
Instead of Bulls and Blackhawks games, the United Center is now home to nearly 400 tons of non perishable food now.
The United Center teamed up with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to help them store food inside the stadium allowing workers for the Greater Chicago Food Depository practice social distancing while still being able to feed those who need it.
Photos of an empty arena turned warehouse are shocking.
Having a birthday in quarantine sucks, but these workers made it special for this kid.
Sawyer is turning 7, and his absolute favorite thing to do is watch the construction workers who are building a high rise building next door work each day. So when the construction company heard this, they decided that they were going to make this kids quarantine birthday as amazing as it could be.
This is awesome!
The bright side of this pandemic is that it is bringing us all together a little bit.
It may have been recently heavily associated with memes about hipster influencers in flower crowns, but Coachella has for the past 20 years grown to become one of the biggest music festivals in the world. YouTube this week dropped this 1 hour 43 minute long documentary about the evolution of the festival which is deeply tied to Pearl Jam in the mid-90s, a punk rock promoter who went to jail, and trying what was then seen as a risky blend of genres on one bill.
Yes, you can watch something this weekend that does not involve tigers.
Tyler Joseph is a new father, and this is a scary time to be a new parent but he was inspired by his family to pen this new song over the last few weeks. That same get-it-done-at-home vibe came into play in the number 1 YouTube trending video has been a little over a day and has already been streamed 5.6 million times.
Just a little background on how the song came about:
Tyler’s mom inspired him to write a song for their fans in this unprecedented moment in all of our lives. He decided to write about the last time he felt this out of control. This virus has taken such a huge toll on everyone and as a new dad now in lockdown it makes him feel helpless. He chose to turn it into a love song about his wife. He compares this time of little control to that moment when he decided to commit to a life with her and that uneasy feeling of realizing that when you make that kind of a commitment to someone else, you give up a good portion of control. It is no longer all about you, it is about us!
Alright this may seem weird, and that is because it is, but this bush craft outdoorsman has come up with a technique to catch fish only using some fishing line and a mouse trap.
Is this practical in Chicago? No… plus we kind of have that rat problem so the traps should probably be used for that.
But hey who am I to stop you from mouse trapping a fish!??!
For the first time ever, every animal in at the Chicago Animal Control has been adopted this week!
That means more dogs like Kale Chips here are going to find their forever home!!
PAWS Chicago and One Tail at a Time, Two of Chicago’s biggest animal adoption shelters have had so much interest in fostering cats and dogs ever since the stay at home protocol went into effect that they have actually had to put people on a waiting list!
Animal shelters are classified as essential businesses so they are still open for business and are still sending animals to their forever homes.
Since March 22, 2,200 applications have been sent in to PAWS Chicago with interest in fostering or adopting a cat or dog.
Now the shelters are warning people that they need to think about how they will care for these pets after the quarantine is over.
With that in mind, and for more information you can visit PAWS website and One Tail at a Time’s website for more info on how you can foster or adopt your very own pet!
