Hot damn game 1 was fun. Here are some impressions from the 300 level, where I'm undefeated on the season (5-0). I love the view up there…2nd row center, you can watch everything develop.
I have said it all season, beginning with the free agent signings of last summer; the Miami Heat are the NBA's Death Star. They are impressive, powerful, shiny and imposing.
Leading up to every NFL Draft, there are countless analysts who publish multiple editions of their predictions as to how the first round, and the entire draft will shape up. Here's a look at who the Bears are predicted to pick at No. 29.

Baseball Hall of Fame decisions have to be a well educated instinct. Voters, and fans who enjoy the debate, need to inform themselves as best they can, and then simply trust their gut.
Maybe you've heard talk of, or even share, my standard reaction to Cubs maneuvers these days. The shrug. No matter the player acquired, I just can't seem to divorce myself from broader feelings about the roster, and the man left in charge of the baseball decisions.

Cliff Lee has turned down money to join what is the best starting pitching staff, on paper, I have ever seen. We're not sure exactly how much he turned away…initial reports of 54 million dollars were a bit high.
