Monday meanderings: The Chicago Bulls have picked a bad time for their first three-game losing streak of the season. Mainly because it’s the postseason, and those defeats have come in their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. The latest was Sunday (May 6) in Philly 89-82 to leave the No. 1 seed Bulls on […]
The Chicago Bulls are expected to be without injured center Joakim Noah for Game 4 Sunday (May 6) vs. the 76ers in Philadelphia. The Bulls trail the first-round series 2-1. Which means the Bulls have one more playoff victory than the Dallas Mavericks, who were swept out of the postseason by the Oklahoma City Thunder. […]
The Chicago Bulls’ season is over. Well, unless it’s not. Common sense says after the way the Philadelphia 76ers handled them Friday (May 4) in taking Game 3 of their first-round series 79-74, the No. 8 seed is on the verge of scoring a major upset. Reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose, the Bulls’ […]
New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee Thursday (May 3) while he was shagging fly balls during batting practice before a game against the host Kansas City Royals. Thereby supplanting Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls as the most iconic athlete to suffer a […]
Ernie Banks is in the on-deck circle for the next installment of Comcast SportsNet’s “Inside Look.” He steps to the plate on Thursday (May 3) at 3 p.m. in part one of an interview with David Kaplan.

There was the celebration of the life of Bill “Moose” Skowron in the morning; then, in the evening, there was the Chicago Bulls’ Game 2 against the […]
Spending quality time with Playboy’s Playmate for May, Nikki Leigh, was part of a day’s work for some of us Monday (April 30). Almost 30 minutes, which is far longer than normal for some of us. Certainly for those of us who were taping an interview for “Sports & Torts” that is to air Thursday […]
The sun came up the day after Derrick Rose suffered a season-ending injury. OK, moreso figuratively than literally. It’s spring in Chicago, so what did anyone really expect Sunday (April 29) to be like? Like it was. Mostly overcast, which is the way some folks felt after the NBA’s reigning Most Valuable Player tore the […]
You could sense the Chicago Bulls were in trouble when team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf — grim-faced, head down and avoiding eye contact — whisked down the corridor of the bowels of the United Center and entered the Bulls’ locker room on Saturday (April 28). Minutes earlier, the Bulls had defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 103-91 in […]
One of the joys about co-hosting “Sports & Torts” with attorney David Spada on talkzone.com (Thursdays at noon) — other than the fetching females who appear on the show — is the opportunity to talk with people who used to be athletes, coaches, managers, etc. No matter how long ago they may have been active […]
