Shepkowski: How Northwestern’s Resume Stacks Up
After losing to Ohio State in a heart-breaker Wednesday night, Northwestern is still sitting right on the edge of the NCAA Tournament bubble.
Shepkowski: Trade Talks Grow Old In Bulls Locker Room
A big to-do was made about an internet rumor Sunday night that had the Bulls sending Carlos Boozer and potentially C.J. Watson to the Lakers in exchange for Pau Gasol.
Shepkowski: A Different Deng Sans Derrick
With Derrick Rose again out it was Deng that was perhaps the most key-cog in getting the Bulls offense going as he had a career-night from beyond the arc, hitting 6/9 three-point attempts in route to matching Carlos Boozer with a game-high 23 points.
Thibodeau: Derrick Rose ‘Very Close’ To Return
“(Rose) went thru his workout and didn’t have problems” Thibodeau said. “Feeling a lot better but we’re just going to wait and see how he feels tomorrow.”
Shepkowski: Bulls Downplay Thibodeau’s All-Star Appearance
The Bulls improved to 24-7 on the season and guaranteed head coach Tom Thibodeau an appearance as the head coach of the Eastern Conference squad in the 2012 NBA All-Star Game.
Shepkowski: Lucas Helps Bulls Overcome Rose Injury
We saw how without Jay Cutler the Bears went from being a prime contender in their conference to being amongst the worst teams in the entire NFL.
Shepkowski: Last Four Games Further Indictment on Angelo
That was as ugly as it gets. It feels like I’ve said that three weeks in a row now but the Seattle Seahawks looked like world-beaters at the hands of the Chicago Bears Sunday.
Shepkowski: The Good, Bad And Ugly Of Bears-Broncos
So, that happened. With the Bears leading 10-0 with 4:34 to play and 63 yards of (somewhat) green grass in front of Tim Tebow and the Broncos offense, the “Almighty One” found his magic and wound up a 13-10 overtime winner against the Bears.
Shepkowski: The Good, Bad And Ugly Of Bears-Chiefs
A week ago, it was understandable to remain optimistic about the Bears chances going forward, despite obvious issues. This week, it’s impossible.
Shepkowski: The Good, Bad and Ugly of Bears-Bucs
They haven’t looked truly remarkable since their Week 1 thrashing of Atlanta, but in running the ball better of late and an improved defense, the playoffs don’t seem as far fetched as they did after the Green Bay and New Orleans debacles earlier in the year.
Shepkowski: The Good, Bad and Ugly of Bears-Vikings
It’s what you need to do against bad teams — beat them badly. Its not a game that anyone really learned a ton about the Bears in their thrashing of the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night; however, the Bears now sit 3-3 and are still very much alive in the race for an NFC Wild Card berth.
Shepkowski: The Good, Bad and Mostly Ugly of Bears-Saints
After a 30-13 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, the Bears now sit at 1-1 before the Week 3 showdown at Soldier Field with Green Bay.
Shepkowski: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Bears/Falcons
A 30-12 win in Week 1 — in a game the Bears entered as a three-point home underdog — means there was a lot of good shown at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon. A look now at who really stuck out and a couple of things that still need work.
Shepkowski: The Good, Bad And Ugly Of Bears-Giants
A quick look back at the good, bad and ugly from last night’s 41-13 loss to the Giants.
Shepkowski: Persa Push Already Paying Off
What is a small private school with very little football tradition like Northwestern doing spending money on billboards across the country to promote Dan Persa’s Heisman Trophy campaign?
Shepkowski: Second Half Run Would Be Uncharacteristic
The all-star break finds the White Sox sitting five games behind division leading Detroit and another 4.5 behind second place Cleveland.
Shepkowski: Time To Go, Country Joe
Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton, Felix Hernandez, Roy Halladay and a healthy Joe Mauer are all baseball players I’d willingly pay to see play regardless of where their teams were in the standings.
Shepkowski: Love For Ozzie Blinding His True Value
Ozzie Guillen’s record over the last four and half seasons is not all that impressive, but he continues to get a pass because of 2005.
Shepkowski: Mistaking ‘Should’ for ‘Could’
Every half inning of a baseball game ends when three outs are registered, not more and not less.
Shepkowski: Consider Me ‘Sold’ On White Sox Closer Change
Close games have not gone the White Sox way early in 2011, losing both one-run contests they’ve been in this year after falling 2-1 to the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
