Walter is an old friend of my Mom's who is in PR
but they had a HUGE blowout over 30 years ago. Mom worked for a number of political campaigns and I can’t remember
what caused it but he called her the " Ron Nessen of Chicago" ( for those of you under 50 Nessen was Nixon’s press secretary). Mom did not speak to him for a year but they made up.

FS Wisconsin...
Has a “Guess the Stance” feature. Unfortunately (Fortunately?), for those of us watching on EI, they reveal the answer during their postgame show.

Brewers baseball does this thing "guess the stance"
with a skinny guy who imitates a baseball player’s stance/swing. Is this major league or AAA?
