A really perfect-grandson of Mayor Richard J. Daley has referred to as out a number of individuals of his prolonged circle of relatives, accusing them of being “committed to white supremacy” in an open letter printed closing week. In “A Letter to My Cousins,” printed Wednesday in South Side Weekly, Bobby Vanecko calls his great-grandfather a “horribly racist mayor” and issues to great-uncle Richard M. Daley’s involvement “in covering up evidence of Chicago police torture.” Vanecko, a regulation pupil at Loyola University Chicago who used to be raised in Sauganash, has signaled his reinforce for defunding police departments and abolishing prisons in a chain of social media posts.

Working at house pointers from Richard Roeper
There’s no position like house, there’s no position like house, there’s no position like house… For an increasingly more massive phase of the running inhabitants, the ONLY position at the moment is house. Today. Tomorrow. And for weeks, possibly even months, to return. No extra preventing in your morning espresso sooner than commuting to paintings. No extra 10 a.m. conferences with the entire gang. No extra “Where should we go to lunch?” exchanges with colleagues. No extra knocking at the boss’ door and pronouncing, “Got a minute?” No extra preventing by means of a co-worker’s table or cubicle to shoot the s--- and perform a little brainstorming. Of path, for tens of millions of Americans, running at house is not anything
Richard Sherman Offers Measured Reaction To Panthers Signing Eric Reid
Richard Sherman isn’t impressed that an NFL team finally did the right thing. On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers signed safety Eric Reid to a one-year contract. Reid, who has been a free agent since March, was the first player to join former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in taking a knee during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality. The NFLPA filed a grievance on Reid’s behalf in May, alleging that NFL team owners and the league colluded to keep him out of a job due to the protest. Reid was a 2013 Pro Bowl selection, and Sherman isn’t surprised a team finally came to its senses, but he
Richard Sherman Fires Back At Those Questioning His New 49ers Contract
Richard Sherman is tired of the criticism. The All-Pro cornerback negotiated his own contract with the San Francisco 49ers upon being released by the Seattle Seahawks earlier this offseason. The result was a three-year deal that’s heavy on incentives, causing many to wonder whether Sherman would have been better off hiring an agent. But as Sherman explained Tuesday, there was a method to his madness. And thus, he defended the contract, both at his introductory press conference and via a piece published on The Players’ Tribune. “It was really important to me,” Sherman told reporters Tuesday, per ESPN.com. “I think that a lot of times...

Smithfield Calls Out Richard Petty Motorsports For ‘Years Of Subpar Performance’
It looks like Richard Petty Motorsports and its soon-to-be former sponsor Smithfield Foods aren’t wasting any time airing out their dirty laundry. Smithfield CEO Kenneth Sullivan issued a response to Richard Petty’s statement Tuesday, and he didn’t pull any punches, calling out RPM for “years of subpar performance on the track.” Earlier Tuesday, Petty said that he and his eponymous team were “extremely disappointed” — words that Sullivan echoed in his statement — with Smithfield’s decision to sign with Stewart-Haas Racing for 2018. The seven-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion also claimed that Smithfield had made a handsh... NESN.com
Brandon Browner Gets In Richard Sherman’s Face After Super Bowl-Clinching Play
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Emotions were running high for Brandon Browner after the New England Patriots beat his former team, the Seattle Seahawks, in Super Bowl XLIX. Browner had to sit out last year’s Seahawks win because of an indefinite suspension for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy, so this year’s 28-24 Patriots victory was extra sweet. The veteran cornerback made headlines during Super Bowl week by saying that his Patriots teammates should try to further injure Seahawks defensive backs — and Browner’s good friends — Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas. They all shrugged off the comments, but after the game, it appeare...
Richard Sherman Has No Time For ‘Preschool Questions’ During Super Bowl Week
For better or worse, Richard Sherman is not afraid to make his voice heard. The boisterous Seattle Seahawks cornerback has made a name for himself both on the field and off, and he’s already doing his best to steal the show in the week leading up to the Super Bowl. Sherman hit the ground running in Arizona, as he wasted no time in saying some things. He questioned how New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s relationship with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell might affect the league’s investigation into DeflateGate. He also was asked about his standing among the league’s best cornerback, especially how it relates to New England cornerback Darrelle Revis. “I don’t measure my
