48:41: Authentic White Sox Fans.
White Sox fans are expected to buy tickets, pay for parking, buy concessions, etc and while they want us to come out and support the team, they won’t promote guys who are clearly ready so they can save money. What a slap in the face. Give us a reason to come to the park

* The Bears are so screwed up they’re making us pine for Mark Sanchez.
* Does preseason matter?
The greatest emphasizes the minutiae, values every moment of practice & play, watches every single NFL preseason game played by every team, and leaves no stone unturned. https://t.co/f8jF7rybeS
