Tribune sports media reporter Ed Sherman picks five events worth your time this weekend.
1. Orlando at Detroit, Friday,
6 p.m., ESPN: The Bulls also play Charlotte at 7:30 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet, but the game in Detroit figures to be better.
2. Australian Open, Friday, 8:30 p.m., ESPN2: Maria Sharapova meets Ana Ivanovic in the women’s final of the year’s first Grand Slam tennis event.
3. Senior Bowl, Saturday, 3 p.m., NFL Network: The countdown to the NFL draft begins. Here’s a chance to join the Bears brass and start doing some scouting.
4. U.S. Figure
Skating Championships, Sat., 7 p.m., WMAQ-Ch. 5: Football is nearly over, so settle in to watch the dance final and women’s free skate.
5. Buick Invitational, Sunday,
2 p.m., WBBM-Ch. 2: Watch and enjoy Tiger Woods. You probably won’t see him in another PGA event until mid-February.
