Bernstein: Stop Getting Calls Wrong
I’m still waiting for a single credible argument against widely expanded use of instant replay in baseball to get critical calls right, since the two usually offered are embarrassingly limp.
Bernstein: Bulls’ Likeability Eroding
I don’t like the Bulls team we have seen lately, the one acting like undisciplined, unprofessional idiots while antagonizing officials and whining about calls.
Bernstein: Hawk Has To Be Right
I’ve decided I’m with Hawk Harrelson.
Bernstein: Blackhawks Now Must Fire Bobby Hull
By Dan Bernstein CBSChicago.com Senior Columnist (CBS) — The Blackhawks’ moral standards are now on paper, and they are public knowledge. In a letter to the Vice President/General Manager of Comcast Sports Net Chicago, team [...]
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.
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.
Bernstein: Stop Using ‘_____ -Strong’
The problem is in the word still being used that immediately brings to mind deception, lies and fraud.
Bernstein: For A Night, Bulls And Blackhawks A World Apart
For one night, performance, geography, expectation and the choice of juxtaposition conspired to make something once so grand seem very small, and very far away.
Bernstein: Cubs Culture Changing For The Better
Public opinion matters to the Cubs in their efforts to modernize their property and stabilize their presence in Tom Ricketts’ beloved Wrigleyville.
Bernstein: Your Questions, Answered
We asked for your submissions and you obliged. Many were predictably obtuse and pointless. Most, actually. But there were a handful worthy of thoughtful response.
Bernstein: Alford ‘Apology’ Just Another Insult
Something odd must have occurred in the last nine days, because this contrition was nonexistent at Alford’s introductory press conference April 2.
Bernstein: Derrick Rose Not Doing His Job
Why is Derrick Rose refusing to continue his rehabilitation, per instruction from the team doctor?
Bernstein: Alford Already Lying At UCLA
He can change the team colors of his shirt and tie, but Steve Alford’s reptilian scales will always lie underneath.
Bernstein: UCLA Hired A Scumbag
Too many have forgotten exactly what Alford did in the aftermath of that incident in Iowa City on September 6, 2002.
Bernstein: Collins A Risk For Northwestern
Collins and Northwestern may be an ideal fit. It will certainly look and sound that way while it’s still all about appearances.
Bernstein: Upsets Not What They Used To Be
Despite the popularity of the clichéd, post-victory cry, nobody really “shocks the world.”
Bernstein: No Need For Urlacher To Retire A Bear
Let’s all stop the stupidity over Brian Urlacher needing to keep some kind of pristine connection to the Bears, as if the mere sight of him limping around the field in any other colors is somehow unthinkable.
Bernstein: No Excuses For Cutler
The quarterback from Santa Claus, Indiana just got another Christmas morning.
Bernstein: Did Rose Get A Second Opinion?
The whole team-doctor arrangement is awkward to begin with.
Bernstein: ‘Hawks Boss Keeps Eyes On Cup
Blackhawks President John McDonough understands the difference between history and trivia.
