It should make you feel better to know that John Paxson and Gar Forman are watching the same games we are.
At some point today Albert Pujols will either sign an extension with the Cardinals or announce that he is headed to the open market after the season.
Lovie Smith usually does not stand in the way of his assistants leaving to take bigger jobs elsewhere. Most NFL head coaches find that it's good business to build a reputation as someone supportive of career advancement.
It should not be a luxury to have an actual person in charge of your baseball team.
When LeBron James packed up his "talents" and took them to Miami, he turned many of us off when he explained the reason for The Decision to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
Within a few days or so, we will know which former Cub will partner with Pat Hughes to call Cubs games on the radio.
I guess you have to give Jake Peavy credit for bravado.
A little over a year ago, I was standing in a United Center suite, talking to a top Blackhawks official as we surveyed the scene in front of us.
He turned a loyal fandom against itself, just because he could.
It takes a year for us to forget that consuming the Super Bowl can be a chore if not handled correctly.
Leave it to the Bears to have dual quarterback controversies leading up to a game in which they are not playing.
When John Paxson kicked himself upstairs in May of 2009, he expressed a desire to spend less time in the limelight. He became the Bulls' VP of Basketball Operations, and installed Gar Forman to be his proxy as GM.
Let's get one thing straight, first: Ben Roethlisberger did some bad things. The knee-jerk yelp of "he was never charged with anything!" is meaningless, when we consider the facts of the two publicized cases, the NFL's own investigation of his behavior, and the quarterback's stated contrition.
It was strange for the inveterate sports consumer yesterday, as we faced our first Sunday since the summer without NFL football.
The "Fire Lovie" guys may have their candidate.
It's easy to say "Let's talk about something else. I'm sick and tired of talking about Jay Cutler."
It's nice to know I'm not the only person around who has been left a little sickened by the events of the last three days in Chicago sports.
Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL owners he represents must be loving the Jay Cutler saga.
A weird season is over after yesterday's aimless chaos, and the Bears wake up to a new challenge today.
We have spent the better part of the week, now, talking about ourselves as much as we have the Bears and the Packers.
Any time a Chicago sports team is in contention for a title, new eyes and ears are brought to computer screens, papers and airwaves.
It's a good thing that most Blackhawks fans also love the Bears.
Feel free to be as crazy as you want at Soldier Field on Sunday. Fortify yourself with your drink of choice, wave a sign with whatever risqué taunt you can create, wear your superfan-finest or be that shirtless guy, but promise one thing:
Resistance is futile. As the clock ticked down to the Bears' victory over Seattle and the NFC Championship date with the Packers became reality, I committed to growing a Ditka mustache by morning.
The interminable lead-up to a Super Bowl is one thing. At such a comically outsized event, there is enough collateral silliness to pass the time beyond just football.
