If you had been to inform the common particular person on the road that your favourite stage model of “The Nutcracker” featured neither ballet nor the enduring Tchaikovsky rating, they’d assume you had been an unbearable hipster at finest — and maybe completely deranged at worst. But such an individual would clearly have missed the heartfelt marvel that's The House Theatre of Chicago’s 10th anniversary manufacturing of “The Nutcracker,” based mostly on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s darkish and magical story. So inform them: Go see it. You’ll thank me later. The House Theatre of Chicago’s ‘The Nutcracker’: 3.5 out of 4

Bears coaching camp report: Takeaways from the 10th
The Sun-Times’ Patrick Finley breaks down the Bears’ Monday apply, the 10th of 2019 coaching camp: No kicking, no starters There was no motion within the Bears’ kicker derby Tuesday — as a result of neither Elliott Fry nor Eddy Pineiro kicked in apply. Coach Matt Nagy known as it “kinda a game-week thing” in preparation for Thursday’s preseason opener. Both kicked Monday. “The guys in general have dead legs,” Nagy stated “Their legs right now, they’ve kicked a lot so let’s get them ready for that preseason game.” Both will kick Thursday, however the Bears haven’t stated who will begin. “But we’re just going to score all touchdowns,” Nagy stated, laughing.

Tom Brady Celebrates 10th Wedding Anniversary In Heartfelt Instagram Post
Ten years ago Tuesday, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen tied the knot. Had it not been for that fateful day in 2009, the New England Patriots quarterback and his supermodel lover might have, you know, gotten married a couple days later, or something. Maybe they would’ve said their vows the next year — who knows? Either way, wedding anniversaries are very, very important, and Brady acknowledged as much in a heartfelt Instagram post Tuesday morning. “Ten years ago, I didn’t realize how much I could love you and the family we created together,” Brady wrote. “My heart is so full and I am so blessed! I know our journey has not been easy,
Jordan Spieth Wins Travelers Championship With Crazy Chip From Bunker
Share this: The golf world knows just how good Jordan Spieth is, but every now and again, the 23-year-old reminds you why he’s one of the top players in the world. Spieth and Daniel Berger were deadlocked at 12-under-par after Sunday’s final round at the Travelers Championship. And after two off-target shots on the first playoff hole, Spieth found himself in the bunker on the par-4 18th. But thanks to an unbelievable chip shot, Spieth birdied the hole and sealed the victory at TPC River Highlands, his 10th career win on the PGA Tour.

Patriots-Texans Preview: New England Holds Clear Edge In Playoff Matchup
Share this: The New England Patriots shut out the Houston Texans 27-0 in September with their third string quarterback under center. There’s no reason to believe the results will be different when the two teams face off in the divisional round of the playoffs Saturday night at Gillette Stadium. The Texans are one of the worst teams in NFL history to make it into the second round of the playoffs. They won an extremely soft AFC South and then played the Oakland Raiders, who were down to a rookie third-string quarterback, in the wild card round. The Texans ranked 29th in Football Outsiders’ total DVOA, 30th in offense and seventh in defense this season. Tom Savage, who took over at quarterback for Brock Osweiler in
International Friendly Games August 10th and 11th, 2010
Whether the various domestic leagues – and Harry Redknapp – like it or not, this is an official FIFA international week. This Tuesday and Wednesday, much of the world’s national teams will be in action. World Cup 2010 is in the history books, and the time for rebirth and rebuilding is about to begin. For example, new Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has called up Antonio Cassano, Amauri and Mario Balotelli, and is rumoured to be considering fielding all three in an attacking trident vs the Ivory Coast on Tuesday, at West Ham’s Upton Park of all places. USA vs Brazil should be equally interesting, with new Brazil coach Mano Menezes starting fresh with young talent like Alexandre Pato, Ganso, Neymar and
