Random thoughts (as close to them as we generally come around here) while wondering why an NFL owner would wear a tie to watch — from a suite — his team play: * If there’s a bright side to recovering from a mystery malady that had your humble correspondent sleeping most of Monday away, it’s […]
Monday meanderings: Brevity being the soul of wit, today’s effort figures to be one of the wittiest this site has seen (and, yes, the bar has not been set high in that regard). Not that Super Bowl XLIX failed to provide fodder for discussion. The New England Patriots’ 28-24 victory over the defending champion Seattle […]
Sunday smorgasbord: As today’s effort is being crafted ever so carefully typed, it is snowing. Well, depending where you happen to be. Around here and other parts of the United States, it is snowing. Or has snowed recently. Or will snow. That pretty much covers it, all in a nice, white blanket. Unless you were […]
Midweek musings: To those who contended that any allegation of the New England Patriots’ underinflating the footballs in Sunday’s AFC championship game was a lot of hot air, take a deep breath. The NFL reportedly has determined that was not the case. Nor was it it a lot of cold air. Seems that the Pats […]
Monday meanderings: The Green Bay Packers’ season ended ingloriously Sunday in the NFC championship game.

It’s a bad rule. Oh, and any […]
Monday meanderings: Yes, the Chicago Bears concluded their 2014 season Sunday with a 13-9 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings. You were expecting something else? Oh, to be so delusional. * Speaking of delusional, Bears coach Marc Trestman said in his postgame press conference he expected to be back next season after a 5-11 2014. […]
Monday meanderings: If Jimmy Clausen is sending out Christmas cards this year, he might want to send ones to Chicago Bears management for giving him a chance to resurrect his career. Albeit for one game (and possibly two). With Jay Cutler benched for Sunday’s contest vs. Detroit at Soldier Field, Clausen was amazingly adequate. Even […]
So how do the Bears take away some of the media attention from the Cubs’ and White Sox’ wheeling and dealing at baseball’s Winter Meetings? By having a Chicago Tribune report that offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer apologized (with tears) to the offense for being the source of anonymous negative statements about quarterback Jay Cutler.
