I used to write for Sports Mockery, back in 2013-2014. The guys that founded it were all good people, and I remember having weekly meetings with 7 of us. It was good times.

Everyone got to write about what they loved, it gave us a chance to share our love for Chicago Sports. But, my issues came with the fact that we were unpaid writers, unless you had the top viewed article that week. We were expected to write one article each day, minimum. Again, unpaid.

It proved difficult when my sports were Illini Football and Chicago Bears football. If there wasn't anything going on, we were highly encouraged to write speculation or What If... Articles.

Then it went to clickbaiting.. I don't fault Chris for moving to clickbaity articles, it's not his fault that clicks get views, views get traffic, traffic gets ads, ads give money. He didn't create that model. But at the same time, I fell out of love with sports writing when it came to that.

Two of my favorite SM articles that I wrote were in partnership with Ranker, I wrote an article about the Top 10 sports video games. It was the favorite thing I've ever written. Second best was when I wrote a "Welcome Home Israel Idonije" article and he re-tweeted it and DM'd me his number. I got to chat with him for a bit about life, football, and his fundraising organization and their accomplishments. He's a great guy!

What a Fields stat line... While also playing so fucking poorly.

This defense literally could NOT be playing any fucking better.

Bears: Run the ball well Getsy: Let’s try some wide receiver screens again…

Just keep pounding the ball down their throats. The air game isn't working.

Bruh, why does that man not have eyebrows?!

Pfft, Illinois could mop the floor with all those scrubs.

(Yes, I'm delusional)

You've at least got proof!

 

A guy in the front row has a sign that says "FIRE MATT EVER-LOSE"

Can't get a picture, but it happened right at the start of the main event.

No where outside of sports will you find these crazy ass stats.

"Joe Burrow is undefeated when he wears purple and gold underwear in honor of his time at LSU and the temperature is exactly 74°F."

I'm happy for Monty. I will always cheer for him. Glad to see him winning.

Jack Harlow is definitely not halftime material for anything other than maybe a D2 college opener.

This is trash.
