  • Associated Press Right now, the Hawks losing home-ice advantage is the sports version of the Great Depression and if Jonathan Toews scores the winning goal to regain it Wednesday night, it’ll be like an economic recovery.

    Fans’ overreactions all part of playoff fun Jun 18, 2013 12:00 AM
    Sorry, Mr. Letter Writer, but emotional swings from positive to negative and back again are only natural when your team is playing for a championship. If the Blackhawks win tonight, all of their boobs will be brilliant once more.

     
  • Phil Mickelson reacts as his ball hit from a bunker narrowly misses the hole on an eagle-attempt during the final day of the U.S. Open golf tournament on Sunday, June 16, 2013, at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa.

    Don't feel sorry for MickelsonJun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
    Phil Mickelson has accomplished something more remarkable than winning the U.S. Open: Finishing second six times. He calls Sunday's loss a heartbreak, but again it was self-inflicted. There is no valid explanation for a golfer like Mickelson being good enough to win the U.S. Open but never being good enough on U.S. Open week to do so.

     
  • Does White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf really believe what he says?

    For White Sox, everything starts and ends with Reinsdorf Jun 17, 2013 12:00 AM
    How much more frustrated can White Sox fans get? Losing a series to the pathetic Astros is just another reminder of why the Sox are regressing from afterthought to irrelevant to oblivion on the Chicago sports landscape.

     
  • The Blackhawks’ Andrew Shaw deflects the puck past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask for the game-winner in the third overtime of Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday at the United Center.

    What’s not to love about pugnacious Shaw? Jun 13, 2013 12:00 AM
    Guys like Andrew Shaw are oh so valuable to a hockey team like the Blackhawks even when they don't record a big assist and bigger goal in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

     
  • John Starks/jstarks@dailyherald.com ¬ The Chicago Blackhawks celebrate Saturday winning the NHL Western Conference Championship at the United Center in Chicago.

    Hawks vs. Bruins a curiosity wrapped in a mystery Jun 11, 2013 12:00 AM
    Drop the puck already! Going in, this Hawks-Bruins series is a real curiosity. It's the most unpredicatable championship round that any Chicago team has played in for a half-century.

     
  • Joel Quenneville has a bit of Vince Lombardi in him, according to Daily Herald columnist Mike Imrem, showing the fortitude to make his players accountable in an era when that’s hardly ever easy.

    Hawks’ Quenneville showing what he’s made of Jun 10, 2013 12:00 AM
    Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville isn't Vince Lombardi but he is demonstrating during the NHL playoffs, like Tom Thibodeau has with the Bulls, that it's still all right to demand more of professional athletes. Last week Quenneville goosed Patrick Kane by calmly saying the winger is best with the puck and needs to want to have it. Kane responded with 4 goals in two games, including 3 in the clincher over the Kings.

     

  • Original Six matchup good for a trip down memory lane Jun 9, 2013 12:00 AM
    For long-time Chicago hockey fans, the first Stanley Cup Finals between two members of the Original Six since 1979 might conjure childhood memories from when the Blackhawks were in that exclusive club.

     

  • No way latest baseball scandal hits Cubs, White Sox Jun 5, 2013 12:00 AM
    Wouldn't it be great if certain Cubs and White Sox players were suspended for 100 games in baseball's latest drug scandal? You know, just so Chicago baseball fans didn't have to watch them flop around anymore this season?

     
  • The Bears' Evan Rodriguez talks with reporters Tuesday after practice in Lake Forest. Authorities say Rodriguez was ticketed for driving under the influence, speeding and improper lane usage and was ticketed early Friday on Interstate 90, near downtown Chicago. The incident was the second encounter the 24-year-old Rodriguez has had with police this year. In March, Rodriguez was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer in Miami. Those charges were eventually dropped.

    Off-field issues like Rodriguez's put NFL teams in tough spot Jun 4, 2013 12:00 AM
    You think the Bears should cut Evan Rodriguez for his off-field transgressions? Please, stop it. This is the NFL and that's not how it works in professional football.

     
  • Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford pulls on the head of Kings left wing Kyle Clifford and separates him from the Hawks' Jonathan Toews during the third period in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals Sunday at the United Center.

    Hockey and fighting not so synonymous anymore Jun 4, 2013 12:00 AM
    Fighting is becoming increasingly endangered in the NHL, especially in the playoffs, so it was good to see a Blackhawk and a King wrestle each other onto the ice during the Western Conference finals.

     
  • After 13 seasons, middle linebacker Brian Urlacher has played his last game in the NFL and is retiring.

    For Reinsdorf and Urlacher, time is relative May 22, 2013 12:00 AM
    This week Jerry Reinsdorf indicated that he wants to keep going for a couple more decades while Brian Urlacher retired from pro football. Boy, is it ever better to be the owner than the owned.

     
  • Who’s to say the Detroit Red Wings, here celebrating their 3-1 victory in Game 3, haven’t evolved into a team as good and deep and cohesive and gritty and overall dangerous as the Blackhawks?

    Top team today means little tomorrow May 21, 2013 12:00 AM
    The Blackhawks are supposed to beat the Red Wings and eventually win the Stanley Cup. Why? Because the experts say they're the NHL's team. But is that a good enough reason?

     
  • Starting pitching has kept the Cubs in games this season, and fans shown here appreciate everything Jeff Samardzija has given, including a two-run home run against the Colorado Rockies last week.

    A few more wins the least Cubs can do May 20, 2013 12:00 AM
    The Cubs are improved a bit this season. That's the least that management could do, and the least is what this franchise traditionally has been best at doing.

     

  • Dream a little dream ... about hockey? May 19, 2013 12:00 AM
    It’s over ... the dream is over ... the Blackhawks’ dream of winning the Stanley Cup is over. That’s a panicky overreaction, of course, to the Hawks’ loss to the Red Wings in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinal series. For one thing, no offense to the Hawks or the NHL or Lord Stanley, but how can the dream be over if the last thing I dream about is hockey? I dream about string bikinis, Copper River salmon, 200 mph cars that get 100 mpg, a cure for the common belly, biggest-screen TVs and golf balls that have no idea how to slice. Oh, yeah, and a winning Powerball ticket ... until early Sunday morning I dreamed a lot about a winning Powerball ticket.

     
  • Bulls guard Derrick Rose warms up before a playoff game against the Heat. Now he will wait until next season to warm up for a game in which he actually plays.

    Peer pressure never an issue for Bulls’ Rose May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
    The only thing Bulls' players did wrong this season was fail to apply the kind of peer pressure that might have shamed Derrick Rose into returning to play in games.

     
  • Center Joakim Noah and the Bulls took the fight to the Miami Heat, but in the end it wasn’t enough.

    Bulls gave cheap but glorious thrills this season May 15, 2013 12:00 AM
    The Bulls provided some cheap thrills right down to the end of their playoff series loss to the Heat. Now the challenge is to turn those into expensive thrills as legitimate championship contenders next season.

     
  • Miami Heat forward LeBron James drives during Game 4 of the second-round series against the Bulls. Miami leads the series 3-1.

    LeBron continues to blur comparisons to greatness May 14, 2013 12:00 AM
    LeBron James isn't as successful or as popular as Michael Jordan was. However, King James has avoided controversy and scandal better than His Airness did.

     
  • From left, Chicago Bulls' Kirk Hinrich, Derrick Rose, Nate Robinson, Richard Hamilton and Jimmy Butler watch from the bench during the final seconds of Game 2 of the NBA basketball playoff series in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat Wednesday night in Miami. The Heat won 115-78.

    Rose will return ... but guessing when just sillyMay 8, 2013 12:00 AM
    Prior to the Bulls' lopsided loss at Miami on Wednesday, rumors swirled that Derrick Rose might return for Game 3 on Friday. Of course, nothing will be official until the man himself roars, "Tonight's the night!" Bulls fans seem to understand that Rose wouldn't be able to play many minutes or be very effective after such a long layoff. Yet a large segment of them want him back. Meanwhile, other large segments want him to do everything from continue resting to be traded.

     
  • Nate Robinson and Joakim Noah celebrate with their Bulls teammates Monday after defeating the Miami Heat 93-86 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Somehow, some way, Bulls get it done May 6, 2013 12:00 AM
    The Bulls were supposed to be the team that was tired Monday night. Instead, they caught the well-rested Heat napping in Game 1 of their NBA East semifinal playoff series.

     
  • Derrick Rose, seen here cheering on his team from the bench during Game 3 against Brooklyn, still will be talented, rich and famous and living the good life.

    Hometown hero Rose’s fairy tale is over May 6, 2013 12:00 AM
    Bulls fans will welcome Derrick Rose whenever he decides to return to playing in games. However, he'll be scrutinized like any other player instead of as a hometown folk hero living out a fairy tale.
