Anthony Rizzo clearly enjoys his job. Throughout the Cubs season he was always one of the most emotionally involved players. During the offseason, he’s still having just as much fun.

A few days after enjoying a Bears game from the sideline, Rizzo spontaneously decided to start answering fan questions on Twitter. Of course, it was nothing but the most important questions.

He has big plans for Thanksgiving

He’s a big football fan

He’s confident against your weak stuff

Pepsi, no Coke

He’s not picking favorites, no matter who asks the question

Joe Maddon is still the man

A home run is a home run

Surprising favorite food

And knows what swagger is…

At the end of his fun, he decided to pick a fight with an unlikely opponent; the Cubs. Rizzo and the Cubs official Twitter account got into a good-natured back and forth over who was giving out the best stuff around the holidays.
