Chicago now has a Lovie, a Dusty and an Ozzie. “Scotty” Skiles can make the switch, but “Brian-y” Sutter just messes up everything. That’s so Hawks.
2. Formal invitation
No more talk of the man from Big Sandy. Natives prefer you

The Chiefs also may be looking for a QB coach if Smith hires Terry Shea to be his offensive coordinator. Shea? Similar to Shoop, sure, just without the “oops.”
5. Stay in school
If you want to jump on Northwestern’s bandwagon, you’re always eligible. Kind of like Evan Eschmeyer.
