The hot dog is a polarizing vessel across the United States. One of the last times I was back home in Chicago was for a Fourth of July cookout that featured juicy smashburgers, succulent chicken thighs and a hot dog bar with all the accoutrements a Chicagoan could ever desire. A red-and-white checkered cloth covered a table stacked with dogs, poppy seed buns, three kinds of mustards, fresh tomatoes, neon […]

Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Speedway, Ind.) — Scott McLaughlin exited the infield medical center after a crash in the 2025 Indianapolis 500 much like he and other drivers do whenever they wreck at more than 220 mph. But this was no normal crash. It didn’t occur at 220 mph. It occurred on the pace lap. As McLaughlin tried to warm his tires, the car snapped loose and hit the inside wall. […]

And with very few exceptions in modern history, they can’t compete for a Super Bowl without one who is playing well. But the truth is, even the best quarterbacks can’t do it alone.
