Best moment of the weekend in the sports world? If you’re a Chicago Bears fan, it was Sunday’s victory in London over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If you’re a St. Louis Cardinals fan, it was Saturday’s World Series victory over the Texas Rangers with Albert Pujols hitting a record-tying three home runs and drove in […]
It would appear that for the first time this season Jaime Edmondson’s NFL picks (and possibly more importantly, pics) appeared well in advance of kickoff for the early games (mean minutes, not hours, OK?). To be perfectly honest, she has done her job week in and week out. It’s the editorial staff at elliottharris.com that […]
Every once in a while, your humble correspondent stops by HiFi Fitness. One of these times it actually might be to work out. As if that’s going to happen. Well, it was just a fleeting thought. Anyway, a recent visit to the downtown Chicago facility provided a chance to see if any familiar faces and/or […]
The St. Louis Cardinals are going to be in the World Series. They eliminated the Milwaukee Brewers, who had won the National League Central title. The Chicago Bears defeated the Minnesota Vikings. Those are your sports highlights for Sunday night. For some of us, the weekend had more highlights, not the least of which occurred […]
It’s Week 6 of the NFL season.

Instead of that, […]
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. […]
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). Among Sunday’s accomplishments: • The Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 24-7 deficit to defeat Indianapolis 28-24. It was the seventh time this […]
The choice: Watch the Chicago Bears play the Carolina Panthers or spend time with Loop Rock Girl Tricia. Hey, why not both? And so, your humble correspondent took in the first half of the Bears game before leaving the comfort of the couch to journey to Hawthorne Race Course, where Trish was posing for photos […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means. Other than you’re up too early after a late night Saturday. Oh, well. It could be worse. There are the baseball playoffs, which for some of us is about as good as it gets. And then there are the NFL games, which for some of us is […]
