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

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.
Wisch: My Solution To The Wrigley Field Rooftop Crisis
So, what if the Cubs set up their own giant HDTV on the reverse side of their proposed video board?
Bernstein: Gay-Affirming NHL Way Ahead Of The Game
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.
Ofman: What Really Is TWTW?
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?
That’s All She Wrote: Phil Emery Better Be Right
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.
Durkin: Best Available Round 2 Prospects
Phil Emery did it again.
Ten Foot Mailbag: The Bears Drafted Who?
KYLE LONG? What the…? KYLE LONG? But there were so many better guys availa… KYLE LONG?
Wisch: Is Derrick Rose Really Losing His Chicago Fans?
Is Derrick Rose truly Public Enemy No. 1 among Chicago Bulls fans, or is he just Public Enemy Right Now?
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.
Baffoe: In Steubenville, Sports Are More Important Than Rape
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.
Bernstein: Stop Using ‘_____ -Strong’
The problem is in the word still being used that immediately brings to mind deception, lies and fraud.
