The Falcons hired Jim Mora Jr. to be their next coach, so there goes the Bears’ backup plan. If Nick Saban decides to stay at LSU, the Bears are Mora less out of luck.
2. Back to the Square One
On the bright side, the Bears might get first dibs on Jim Fassel,
especially if the Bills pass on him to hire Dick Jauron, the guy the Bears just fired. Oh boy.
3. Time for a recall
Scott Skiles lectured the media about focusing too much on offense. Forget points. And forget sacks, says the Bears’ Greg Blache. Forget wins, says the Hawks’ Brian Sutter. Forget about the playoffs, while you’re at it.
4. Must be his teammates’ fault
Tampa Bay WR Keenan McCardell has been picked to replace Terrell Owens in the Pro Bowl. Budweiser’s Leon wants to know why he wasn’t called, especially since Joe Horn has his number.
5. Woody or wouldn’t he?
The Blackhawks recalled defenseman Anton Babchuk from Norfolk, which begs the question, “How many pucks would a Babchuk chuck if a Babchuk could chuck pucks?”
SIXTH MAN
6. Head case
Illini fans shouldn’t be worried about Luther Head’s troubles behind the wheel. They could see from his early-season play that he has trouble driving lanes.
