  • Cubs still believe Baez is a shortstopFeb 4, 2013 12:00 AM
    The widely held assumption around baseball is that Cubs prospect Javier Baez is headed for third base, but talk to the Cubs and they'll tell you they have no plans to shift Baez from shortstop. “A lot of what people think is based on what they saw of Javy as an amateur, and people are stubborn in that way,” said scouting and player development director Jason McLeod.

     
  • Marc Trestman was a gutsy, unconventional choice by the Bears to lead their organization, but San Francisco made a similar decision with Jim Harbaugh and it’s worked out quite well for the 49ers.

    Bears’ Trestman might be next great surpriseFeb 3, 2013 12:00 AM
    Jim Harbaugh is all the proof you need that successful NFL head coaches come from the strangest of beginnings, and lends hope to the idea that the Bears’ Marc Trestman could accomplish great things in Chicago.

     
  •  Because 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick offers so many options and creates so much worry for a defense because of it, Bears Hall of Famer Dan Hampton is going with San Francisco to win the Super Bowl over the Baltimore Ravens.

    Hampton sticking by ex-Bears teammate Harbaugh Feb 2, 2013 12:00 AM
    Hall of Famer Dan Hampton has a knack for making the right call on Super Bowl Sunday, and the former Bears defensive lineman believes he’s got the winner again this year.

    White Sox optimistic again, but should they be? Jan 25, 2013 12:00 AM
    Fans at SoxFest always start the weekend worried about the upcoming season, but they won't find a White Sox team feeling the same way. Excited about a new manager and a more relaxed atmosphere, players and staff alike pointed out that every year there are clubs that surprise.

    The Blackhawks returned to the UC for the first time since April, and they gave a breathless fan base the gift of another victory.

     
  •  Tom Brady’s greatness goes so much deeper than his talent as Hall of Fame quarterback for the New England Patriots, and the Bears’ Jay Cutler would learn much from looking at all that Brady does to help his team.

    Bears’ Cutler could learn from Pats’ Brady Jan 19, 2013 12:00 AM
    Not that Jay Cutler’s ever going to be Tom Brady, but when you listen to the New England Patriots talk about their Hall of Fame quarterback, you realize just how far Marc Trestman has to take Cutler.

     
  • Trestman takes Bears, Cutler into new era Jan 17, 2013 12:00 AM
    Bears GM Phil Emery has taken a gamble hiring a head coach who’s been out of the country the last five years, but high risk with high reward is precisely what this stodgy, old franchise needs. The last decade of Bears football had brought a shocking reality on game day. The coaching staff’s inability to adjust — to the opponent, its own personnel or the elements, to name a few — was hopelessly apparent.

     
  •  Can new Bears head coach Marc Trestman turn quarterback Jay Cutler into a quarterback who can lead his team to the Super Bowl?

    Too much to ask Bears, Trestman to win Super Bowl? Jan 16, 2013 12:00 AM
    What we know for certain is that Bears GM Phil Emery has fired a coach who completely ignored the offense and the quarterback in favor of a man who will be all about the offense and the quarterback. That's a change for the better.

     
  •  Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville, bottom left, speaks to his team during Monday’s practice.

    Blackhawks have the same questions to answer Jan 14, 2013 12:00 AM
    It's not as though the Blackhawks have lost ground to the division since last we saw them in April, but whether they're built to play in the brutal Western Conference postseason remains a question.

     
  •  There is nothing wrong with Bears general manager Phil Emery taking his time to find a new head coach. In fact, it’s to the team’s benefit in many ways that he is.

    Bears’ GM should be right, not rushed Jan 13, 2013 12:00 AM
    Bears GM Phil Emery has been criticized for taking too much time and interviewing too many coaching candidates. But what’s the hurry? Emery should be right, not rushed.

     
  •  Hall of Famer Andre Dawson says too many players worked too hard to let cheaters stain the history of the game.

    Dawson: Don’t vote PED users in Hall Jan 12, 2013 12:00 AM
    Hall of Famer Andre Dawson is angry about what steroids have done to the history of baseball, and he doesn’t want to share a stage with any of the drug users in Cooperstown.

     
  •  In this image from video, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman talks to the media as Donald Fehr, executive director of the NHL Players’ Association, stands next to him. A deal to end the 113-day NHL lockout was reached early Sunday morning following a 16-hour negotiating session.

    NHL fans deserve end of Bettman era immediately Jan 6, 2013 12:00 AM
    There will be many suggestions, most of them useless, about how the NHL can win back fans and apologize for another lockout. But there is only one thing owners can do to prove they understand fans' anger.

     
  •  Bears general manager Phil Emery, bottom, and team chairman George McCaskey enter the room for Monday’s news conference announcing the end of the Lovie Smith era as coach of the team.

    Credit King George with Bears’ new direction Jan 5, 2013 12:00 AM
    Full credit to Bears GM Phil Emery for seeing the disaster that was the offense, and moving on from Lovie Smith, but it's George McCaskey who has made the biggest changes because he wants to win and is willing to be different.

     
  • NIU lost bowl, but Huskies came out winners Jan 2, 2013 12:00 AM
    It was frustrating to see NIU lose a game they might have had a chance to win, but by Wednesday morning it was easy to remember that the journey to the Orange Bowl was a genuine victory.

     
  • Huskies happy but hardly satisfied with bowl trip Dec 31, 2012 12:00 AM
    While many of us alums are simply thrilled with the opportunity, don't mistake anyone close to the NIU football program for feeling the same way. The Huskies are in Miami to win a football game.

     
  • After nine seasons in Chicago, Bears coach Lovie Smith has been fired with one year left on his contract.

    Fired Smith too arrogant for own good Dec 31, 2012 12:00 AM
    Lovie Smith's response to a free fall was generally to tell everyone that all was well, and to stick with the program. Smith always knew best, and as he famously said when he dumped Ron Rivera, Bears fans should trust him to get it right. He did not, and now he has paid the price.

     
  •  Bears coach Lovie Smith looks down at the end of the game as quarterback Jay Cutler heads off the field in the 23-17 loss the the Seahawks at Soldier Field in Chicago.

    Bears have serious coach, QB questions Dec 30, 2012 12:00 AM
    No NFL coach can succeed without a quarterback, no quarterback without a coach, and no franchise without both. It's not a mystery in most NFL cities.

     
  •  Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh, middle, celebrates with teammates after kicking a 29-yard field goal to knock the Bears out of the playoff picture. But will that be enough to determine the fate of Bears coach Lovie Smith?

    Bears, Lovie run out of luck Dec 30, 2012 12:00 AM
    Bears GM Phil Emery certainly didn’t sound Sunday like a man ready to fire his head coach. Was he just saying the right things, or are Bears fans stuck with Lovie Smith another year?

     
  • Would Bears’ Emery really give Smith more time? Dec 26, 2012 12:00 AM
    Just try to picture Phil Emery standing before Bears fans, speaking into a microphone, and explaining to the masses that Lovie Smith will be back for another season. It's a tough sell.
