U.S. News and World Report #1 city to live: Naples, Florida

They've clearly never tried to drive on the Tamiami on Easter Sunday. Worse traffic than Chicago and LA combined!

In all seriousness i really like Naples. Personally wouldn't live there but like to visit

That says more about their rating system than anything else.

US News & World Reports ranks US News & World Reports #312 in 'Best Ranking Publications'. Hustler was #311.

At your age it wouldn't be my first choice either. But neither would College Station.

[The Sultan]

Meh, I'm OK with being the Princeton or MIT of US cities. I missed South Wayne in their rankings - where did they end up?

No idea. Naples is full and bland. I can see why you're a fan.

No worries. Lots of people are jealous of #1. Human nature.

Pfft.
Same rag ranks Harvard the #3 university in the country and Columbia #12.
Not something I'd brag about, tbh.

Nice 180.

[Lennys Tap]

And mine right over yours.

#1 doesn't worry about #3 or #12 anyway.

Naples will not be fine

Just fwiw, but I've heard from someone who should know that the Bears and the school districts haven't talked in a couple of months.
I still think they ultimately end up in Arlington Heights, but I think it'll take failure in the legislature's fall session to shift them back that way.

NFL lost the Sunday Ticket case (which I expected). When the damage bill comes together, it'll total $12.2 B (and change).

This will obviously go to appeal. Definitely interested to see how Google/YouTube approach pricing moving forward.

Big L though for the league today.

By "shortly," you mean "by the end of July," I agree with you.

Sad news for Bernie Kosar

Trevor Lawrence has a new group of receivers.

 Vikings guarantee 4 years for JJ McCarthy.

Sam Darnold will still be Vikings starter though.

Chiefs are in a strong position to three peat. As long as Patrick Mahomes stays healthy, they will be very hard to beat . The team did very well in the offseason . Keeping Chris Jones was huge. Chiefs are top of the class in AFC.

I like The Packers chance to make it to Super Bowl this year. Lots of momentum on offense . Defense and Special teams should be improved enough to make the team nest in NFC. Also having second place schedule is an asset. Could end up with favorable seeding going onto Play-Offs.

Or Jordan love could regress, as there is now plenty of game film on him.

There was plenty of film on him in the second half of the season when he played his best.

[The Sultan]

I mean, he might regress. Progress isn't always linear.

That being said, I would like to see this defense before suggesting the Packers are Super Bowl contenders.
