December 30, 2016: Booing Helps
I got a chance to watch most of the Blackhawks Predators game on Thursday night; I was glad I did. That was a pretty good hockey game. We do have a bit of history with these guys. They were one … Continued
December 29, 2016: Clutch Bucket Time
We knew it a long time ago here. Back when I was starting up a new feature, called Player’s Club, we wrote about him here: http://www.thelocalsportstalk.com/december 27-2014-the-butler-did-it/. That was almost 2 years ago to the day. Read it if you … Continued
December 28, 2016: Pay That Man His Money
It’s one of my favorite movie lines from Rounders. After Mike McDermott takes out Teddy KGB when he flopped the nut straight. I can’t help but think of that when I read the Blackhawks resigned Artemi Panarin to a 2 … Continued
December 27, 2016: Battling
You’re still watching the Bulls, right? I am… as much as I can. They got a nice win at the UC on Monday night after getting slapped by the Spurs on Christmas. It’s been a rough stretch lately; the Bulls … Continued

December 23, 2016: Timing Is Everything
It finally happened tonight. All this Cubs stuff that they have playing and replaying; I seem to keep missing it. I did see the behind the scenes half hour special on Game 7, but other than that, nothing. I wanted … Continued
December 22, 2016: Week 16 Redskins at Bears
A day early for the game this week equals a day early for the preview. The 3-11 Bears, yes, 3 wins this year, will host Washington on Christmas Eve in Soldier Field. No, no, no…shows that is. Vegas is trying … Continued
December 21, 2016: QB Questions
Coming off a hate file, I patiently wait to write the next one. Like they say in my son’s Ninja Turtles book, it’s going to be epic! That is, if he’s not on the Bears roster next year. For the … Continued
