Chicago White Sox break the Internet with a 50-foot hot dog
This is something none of us knew we needed to see today.
Luckily, the Chicago White Sox were looking out for us.
They unveiled something that seems impossible for their Sunday game against the Cleveland Guardians: a 50-foot hot dog.
It has to be seen to be believed:

We have many, many questions. Among them:
How do you make that?
How do you eat that?
Why would you make that?
Why would you eat that?
Is this the best accomplishment of the entire White Sox season?
This feels like someone was sitting in a room and wondered, "How long can we make a hot dog?" And then the dream grew much larger than anyone was anticipating.
Let's call up Joey Chestnut and see if he can eat it.

But now, here's something even more incredible. This doesn't come close to the world record for longest hot dog.
In 2011, a 668-foot hot dog was created in Paraguay. Excuse us, but what?!
This probably didn't help anyone's appetites. Better go have a hamburger tonight, just to be safe. You wouldn't want the kitchen to bring out a hot dog that seems like it never ends.

Wyc Grousbeck will reportedly step down as Celtics' lead governor, handing reins to Bill Chisholm after team sale
Current Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck will no longer serve as lead governor following the team's pending $6.1 billion sale, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday. Pending owner Bill Chisholm, a managing partner at Symphony Technology Group, will instead assume the title of lead governor. It's unclear whether the move is a change from the previously reported plan. When reports of the team's sale to Chisholm emerged in May, it was announced Grousbeck would remain the team's governor for three more seasons before handing things over the Chisholm. "[Chisholm] has asked me to run the team as CEO and Governor for the first three years, and stay on as his partner, and I am glad to do so," Grousbeck's statement read at the time. There's enough ambiguity there to suggest this may have always been the plan. Grousbeck's original statement doesn't mention "lead governor," but does mention he would stay on as a partner for a few years. It sounds like that will still be the case. Grousbeck is giving up his "lead governor" title, but will remain the team's alternate governor and CEO through 2028. When the sale was announced in May, Grousbeck had nothing but good things to say about Chisholm, calling him a "terrific person and a true Celtics fan." Grousbeck, with the help of an investment firm, purchased the Celtics for $360 million in 2002. He served as the team's CEO and lead governor most recently. To the surprise of many, Grousbeck announced in 2024 that he was looking to sell his majority stake in the team. The announcement came just weeks after the Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks to win the NBA championship. It didn't take too long for a deal to come together. Just months later, Grousbeck announced the franchise's sale to Chisholm. The sale was announced for $6.1 billion, a North American record at the time.
