You wouldn’t think the Chicago Cubs and the Antonio Brown saga would share any kind of similarities this week, but they do. Actually… unfortunately, they do. They’re both live look-ins at the manic nature of professional sports (and its fans) and how quickly things can change. Thursday afternoon, all seemed perfect in the Cubs’ world.
