Tribune sports media reporter Ed Sherman picks five things worth viewing this weekend.
1. Denver at Bears, Sunday, 3:15 p.m, WBBM-Ch. 2: The pickings are thin for quality games, so the Bears receive the doubleheader treatment. Greg Gumbel and Dan Dierdorf will be on the call.
2. “Every Man a Tiger: The Eddie Robinson Story,”
Saturday, 12:30 p.m., WMAQ-Ch. 5: A 30-minute, commercial-free special chronicles the life of the late Grambling coach.
3. Skins Game, Saturday,
Sunday, 2:30 p.m., WLS-Ch. 7: Back when the foursome featured Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Lee Trevino, this was the highest-rated golf broadcast of the year. This year’s group is Fred
Couples, Stephen Ames, Zach Johnson and Brett Wetterich. Not quite the same.
4. Missouri vs. Kansas,
Saturday, 7 p.m., WLS-Ch. 7: Are we talking about college basketball? A big football game late in the year involving Kansas and Missouri? It’s true.
5. Philadelphia at New England, Sunday, 7:15 p.m., WMAQ-Ch. 5: What’s the over-under on how many points the 22-point favorite Patriots put on the board? Make it 52.
