Thursday thoughts (well, something akin to such things) while wondering whether Derrick Rose is getting all the injuries out of the way at the beginning of his career: * Still hobbled by sprained ankles, Rose had 13 points and seven assists in 31 minutes Wednesday at Milwaukee in a 95-86 victory vs. the Bucks. “Even […]
Midweek musings: The results from Tuesday are in, and they are a little surprising. Not politics, but the Chicago Bulls. Not surprising they defeated the visiting Orlando Magic 98-90. After all, the Magic is winless this season. What was surprising was the performance of reserve guard Aaron Brooks. Not surprising he had 13 points and […]
Random thoughts (or as close as we come to them around here) while wondering whether Joe Maddon realizes the media do not exist to be his drinking buddies (OK, there may be an exception or two or three or more): * With Monday’s official coronation of Maddon as the Chicago Cubs manager, president of baseball […]
Monday meanderings: The good news for the Chicago Bears (and, of course, their fans) is the team did not lose a game Sunday. Mostly because it was a bye week.

So logic says the Bulls beat the Cavs. Unless, of course, the Cavs beat the Bulls (because the road team has won each encounter). So much […]
Thursday thoughts (extremely loose definition of “thoughts”) while wondering how many games Cameron Bairstow and E’Twaun Moore both will appear in this season for the Bulls: * You can be fairly certain this is the first — and last — time that you will see Bairstow’s and Moore’s names in the opening paragraph around here […]
Midweek musings: Jimmy Butler will miss the Chicago Bulls’ season opener Wednesday night at New York because of a sprained ligament in his left thumb. He is expected to be out … until he returns.
