Monday meanderings: When Ryan Theriot came up with the Chicago Cubs, who ever thought he would score the winning run in two World Series. Well, other than perhaps his most ardent admirers. That rare achievement belongs to Theriot. Of course, not with the Cubs who haven’t appeared in a World Series since 1945 and haven’t […]
Another Sunday, another bunch of notes provided by the NFL’s department of information (making the games interesting and attending and/or watching on television). Oh, yes, and another excuse to run photos of Jaime Edmondson in NFL-themed attire (as if any excuse is needed regarding the Playboy Playmate around here). You can follow Jaime on Twitter […]
Is it too late to change that forecast of the Detroit Tigers winning the World Series in six games? The San Francisco Giants took a 3-0 series lead with a 2-0 victory Saturday night (Oct. 27) in Detroit. Meaning the baseball season is one more Tigers loss away from being over. And another prediction — […]
You can take the man out of Chicago, but you can’t take the Chicago out of the man. Such is the case with former Blackhawks forward Adam Burish, who with sports agent Bill Zito had a great idea for a charity hockey exhibition. And, man, what a great idea it was. “Champions for Charity” was […]
For all those folks out there who wanted the Chicago White Sox to get rid of Ken Williams as general manager, your wish apparently is coming true — although not the way you might have hoped. Williams was elevated Friday (Oct. 26) to a higher position in the organization with assistant GM Rick Hahn taking […]
Thursday thoughts (or as close to what passes for thinking around here): Appearing at the “Champs for Charity” exhibition hockey game along with several Chicago Blackhawks (past and present) and other NHL players reportedly will be members of the 2009-10 Blackhawks Ice Crew from the franchise’s Stanley Cup title season. And, yes, such news does […]
Midweek musings: For those who are hockey fans (and, yes, we know you’re out there — even without an NHL season, thanks to the owners’ lockout of players), Patrick Kane has become the latest member of the Chicago Blackhawks to be going abroad (one word, not two, Patrick). He has agreed to play for EHC […]
Random thoughts while wondering whether the Detroit Lions could have scored before the closing seconds in Monday night’s game if the Chicago Bears defense wasn’t even on the field: * Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s ribs became a topic after he was slammed to the ground by Detroit’s Ndamukong Suh. Jay Cutler’s ribs sounds like it […]
Monday meanderings: If today is the game between the Detroit Lions (2-3) and the Chicago Bears (4-1) at Soldier Field on “Monday Night Football,” then something says today must be Monday. That revelation is even more of a certainty than the team winning the turnover battle will win the game. * And, yes, Bears quarterback […]
Nothing says it’s time to sit down and write something for this space quite like realizing you’re watching a television program that has a girl whose boyfriend’s name is Booger. And so, I will turn off “Big Rich Texas” to focus on today’s effort. OK, I’ll mute the show but keep the picture on the […]
