Attention WCG Members: On Monday, August 3, SB Nation will start rolling out a fresh and modern update to their comment section that has been long overdue. The new makeover, which we are very excited about, will take effect at Windy City Gridiron on Monday, August 10, but at some point during the change some of your memberships may be affected and you’ll temporarily lose the ability to comment. If this happens you will see a prompt with an email to contact support to rectify the situation as soon as possible.
