Mike Brown will be out–maybe for the season–after foot surgery. Brown, what can we do for you?
2. Keeping score
The Bears have to figure out how to replace their safety quickly. Right now he’s 30 percent of the offense!
3. Olympic shtick
Berlin is planning to bid on the 2020 Games. I’m sure they have the perfect vision.
4. Wasn’t their vault
China stunned the U.S. to win the world gymnastics title. I guess the Americans fell of their high pommel horse.
5. Coincidence?
We have the Chicago Marathon and a Fire playoff game Sunday, which the Bears have off. See, no one wants to compete against the Bears.
6. Coach K for ‘kooky’
Hundreds of businessmen paid $1,600 apiece to watch the Blue Devils practice, giving new meaning to the term, “Cameron Crazies”
7. Playing his Card
I wonder which NFL team sent feelers to Charlie Weis? The Irish haven’t won anything yet, but if you wanna crown ’em, CROWN ‘EM.
8. Talk about a bore
For T.O., “the game is getting boring, you know?” From your lips to my closed ears.
9. Cubby barren
Dusty Baker: “I don’t have a plan.” Believe it or not, he said this Wednesday and not four years ago.
FIVE THINGS
Options for replacing Mike Brown.
– Stuffed bear? No, run-stuffing Bear.
– Charlton Heston. Knows about safeties.
– Detour receivers to the Dan Ryan.
– Use center-fielders.
– Monsters of the Project Runway.
