The Minnesota Vikings never looked so appealing. Not as an opponent on the football field. As someone wearing an Adrian Peterson jersey. Someone other than the Vikings star running back. And so we say hello to Brooke. She is a Vikings fan, even though she hails from southern Illinois and no one in her family […]
Spending time with Tara of Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA) was how some of us spent part of Wednesday. And called it work. Or whatever it is that we do around here. We like to think of it as work. Tara recently moved to Chicago, which does have reasonably good airlines access for her professional purposes. […]
Jennifer England is coming to town. For some of us, that’s even better than hearing similar news regarding Santa Claus. Then again, some of us have a warmer feeling regarding the St. Pauli Girl than some guy in a red suit. Yes, Jennifer is the 2011 St. Pauli Girl, as has been noted previously in […]
A Chicago football team did participate in a highly entertaining game on national television. It simply didn’t result in a Chicago victory. And it simply didn’t involve the Bears. The Detroit Lions defeated the Bears on Monday Night Football 24-13. Not particularly entertaining — from a Chicago perspective. Decidely different was Friday’s matchup between Chicago […]
Looking back and ahead at Week 5 in the NFL (and, yes, the sentence-construction police at elliottharris.com realizes the words before the parenthesis do not constitute a complete sentence, thank you very much).

There are quarterback ratings and then there are quarterback ratings. Numbers can tend to numb the mind. Well, for those of us who might not be particularly mathematical-minded. Even so, some numbers speak for themselves. And with a fair degree of clarity, if not downright certainty. Some numbers to take into consideration are for NFL […]
If it’s Saturday, it’s time for Danielle Moinet. OK, any day works in that regard. The former Chicago Bliss defensive back of Lingerie Football fame has her NFL picks for Week 5. She is 13-7 for the season after going 3-2 last week. Her Week 5 selections: Philadelphia over Buffalo, New Orleans over Carolina, Arizona […]
The Chicago Bears made it to the White House on Friday. The 1985 Bears. The team that defeated the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl for the lone Lombardi Trophy in the franchise’s storied history. The transcript of President Barack Obama’s comments: THE PRESIDENT: Everybody have a seat. This is as much fun as […]
So the Chicago White Sox made some news Thursday by not naming Dave Martinez their manager. Or Sandy Alomar Jr. Or any of the other candidates thought to be under consideration. And mostly by naming Robin Ventura manager, despite Ventura’s lack of managerial experience. And Sox fans won’t know by the end of spring training […]
