Lovie Smith out after 9 seasons as Bears coach
The epitaph for Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach of the Bears could read, "He couldn't fix the offense." For all the good things Smith did in his nine years in Chicago, his undoing was his inability to take care of the side of the ball in which he...

Try this for a Super Bowl 'X factor'
Raise your hand if you believe the Harbaugh family storyline has been exhausted. I believe we’ve heard from Mom and Pop Harbaugh, the brothers and the sister. Unless Manti Te’o proclaims he is now going steady with an imaginary Harbaugh...

Rosemont makes a play for Cubs, but they'd rather play the clown
I’m still waiting for confirmation from the Elias Sports Bureau, but I believe that Tom Ricketts now leads the Chicago Owners League in negotiating errors. It’s hard to think he surpassed Michael McCaskey in such a short time, but the...

Wait, the Bears did what with Forte?

I'm happy for Wood, but what are the Cubs doing?
Kerry Wood was going to retire. No, wait, he wasn’t. Kerry Wood didn’t think he could pitch in the majors anymore. No, wait, he wanted to pitch one more time. It looked as if the popular Cubs pitcher who was viewed by some as Tom Ricketts&...

Is it time for a new Ricketts to run the Cubs?
Tom Ricketts needs to do something. Even in hiding from everyone except one reporter he believed he could use, Ricketts needs to order something done.

Village idiots rejoice: Another Zambrano apology tour
I believe Carlos Zambrano.
