    OFF THE IVY: PCA and Michael Busch break out in Chicago Cubs bounce back win over Phillies

    SUBSCRIBE TO OFF THE IVY PODCAST: Off The Ivy – 312 Sports The Chicago Cubs brought the bats and the energy in a huge 10-4 win over the Phillies last night! It was a breakout performance from Pete Crow-Armstrong, who continues to show why he’s one of the most exciting young players in the game, putting together a two-hit game, making an impact on the bases and showing why he's so valuable on defense. Michael Busch also had a night to remember, delivering big-time at the plate with key hits that helped blow the game open. His power and confidence are becoming a major weapon in this Cubs lineup. The combination of the Cubs top three in the lineup - Nico Hoerner, Busch, and Alex Bregman, combined to go 7-for-15 with six RBI. From start to finish, this was a complete team win—timely hitting, solid pitching, and nonstop pressure on the Phillies. If this is a sign of what’s to come, Cubs fans have a lot to be excited about.  312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price. Chicagowindowguys.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Hypocrisy, Scandal, and the NFL Machine

    On today’s episode of Dan Bernstein Unfiltered, Dan examines the growing image problem facing the NFL — and why the league continues to count on fans looking the other way once the games kick off. 0:00 the NFL 26:00 Dave McGinnis 41:50 Dick Vitale 47:30 Chicago Cubs 50:30 Italian Dressing From the ongoing Dianna Russini–Mike Vrabel situation, to Troy Aikman’s potential conflict of interest as both broadcaster and team consultant, to renewed scrutiny of Steve Tisch’s documented ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the league seems eager to let controversy fade into the background until football distracts the public once again. Dan argues that, ultimately, we’re all complicit — criticizing the NFL while continuing to live and breathe it like nothing else in American culture. Dan also reflects on the life of former NFL coach Dave McGinnis and one of the strangest episodes in Bears history: a head coaching hire that was announced before it was finalized, only for McGinnis to walk away from the organization he truly loved. Plus, how is the Cubs’ season projecting now that it’s roughly one‑tenth complete? We dig into the numbers using Baseball Reference. We wrap up on a lighter note with a look at The Washington Post’s ranking of the top 12 store-bought Italian dressings, which leads to one clear conclusion: just make it yourself at home.
