That’s All She Wrote: Struggling Bulls All But Out

OK. The first person who dares compare Luol Deng’s serious illness to Scottie Pippen’s migraine will be asked to leave this column immediately.

Ten Foot Mailbag: Does Food Poisoning Diminish Jordan’s Flu Game?

If it’s even true it’s not less impressive because—and I can only speak from what others have told me—food poisoning is one of the worst non-life-threatening non-Nicholas Cage movie things one can experience.

Silverman: Crawford Breathes Huge Sigh Of Relief With Overtime Success In Game 1

The Blackhawks are likely going to get by the Wild without much more trouble the rest of the way. However, Quenneville & Co. now understand that Crawford can make the key save when the game is on the line.

Durkin: Evaluating NFC North Draft Classes

In 2012, the NFC North was the only division in football with three double-digit win teams. On the surface, every team sensibly addressed need positions. However, there are always surprises, both good and bad, and expectations unmet, but in some instances exceeded.

When it comes to acceptance of gay players, the NHL is already way ahead of the NBA.

Wisch: It’s The State Farm Center, But It’ll Always Be ‘The Hall’

Growing up, I always believed that besides the Sears Tower, Assembly Hall’s spaceship-shaped silhouette is the most recognizable of any building in Illinois. And now, just like how the Sears Tower has become the Willis Tower, the Assembly Hall has a new name as well.

Silverman: Stanley Cup-Bound Blackhawks Will Face Major Challenges Along The Way

The Blackhawks are the best team in the West and should be on a collision course with the Penguins. But there will be challenges, and when they get to the second round, they could face a huge one.

Like it or not, sabermetrics are here to stay and likely to be amended, and often. I would like to suggest the Hawk takes some time to understand it. Give it chance. Use it from time to time.

Baffoe: RIP Tim Tebow

Fans, I come to bury Tim Tebow, not to praise him. He has been cut by the New York Jets, and that opens the door for him to finally become a Chicago Bear.

Bernstein: Phil Emery Is A Hipster

When Bears GM Phil Emery uses a first-round pick on somebody you never even thought about, it’s because he’s been on that tip for a while, already. You know, before it was cool.

Wisch: Moving Castro Could Stop Short A Cubs Problem

So, what if at some point this season – I’m not suggesting that the Cubs do it just yet – the team moved Castro to third, Valbuena to second and Barney to short?

It’s a playoff game and I’m wondering how a team misses 25-of-26 shots and then I see Brooklyn scrawled on the jersey.

Silverman: Emery Must Hit Home Run In Draft

Emery has to hit a home run in this draft and give Trestman at least two regular starters. At least one of those players must come on the offensive side.

Durkin: NFL Mock Draft 3.0

It’s draft day eve, and NFL fans are downright giddy. This is the most unpredictable draft I can recall in years, simply because of the lackluster quarterback class.

Reno Saccoccia is not a condition that involves flesh-eating bacteria breeding inside one’s kidneys. Nor is it a casino featuring the comedic stylings of Carlos Mencia. It’s neither of those awful things.

The problem is in the word still being used that immediately brings to mind deception, lies and fraud.
