While it was clear that Urlacher was a remarkable athlete, it wasn’t clear in the days and weeks leading up to his selection what position he would play in the NFL.
Silverman: Toews May Have Company, But It’s Time To End His Slump
It is no longer a shrug-your-shoulders matter.
Silverman: Overpowering Blackhawks Certain To Face Drama If They Can Make Cup Run
But if the Blackhawks are going to fulfill their Presidents Trophy pedigree and emerge as the best team during the postseason as well, they are likely going to have to overcome adversity and win in dramatic fashion.
Silverman: Red Wings Will Be Speed Bump, Not Road Block For Hawks
This second-round playoff matchup has the potential for drama and angst, but there’s no way that Detroit should come out on top in a best-of-seven series.
Silverman: White Sox Have Brief Chance To Open Window Of Opportunity
The easy thing is to look at the Chicago White Sox and write them off as a lost cause.

There’s something that’s not quite right with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Silverman: Crawford Breathes Huge Sigh Of Relief With Overtime Success In Game 1

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.
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.

Silverman: Astros Moving To The American League Another Error For Baseball
Take a look at the American League standings. There’s something very wrong going on.
Silverman: Linebacker Keys Bears, Vikings Draft Needs In NFC North
The Bears are not going to ignore the offensive line in the draft, but they don’t have to use their first-round pick on a blocker.
Silverman: A Penguins-Like Splurge Not In Blackhawks’ Best Interests
Go to bed one night and Jarome Iginla is saying goodbye to Calgary and hello to Boston. Wake up the next morning and Iginla is not going to Boston. He’s going to Pittsburgh.
Silverman: The Tiger Show Returns In Earnest
Make no mistake about it, Tiger Woods is back.
Silverman: Constant Rule Changes A Maddening Fact Of NFL Life
The NFL is on top of the sports world and it has been for decades.
