TOPIC 1: HOW IMPRESSED ARE YOU WITH ALL THE CHANGES THE BLACKHAWKS HAVE BEEN MAKING?
I’d still like to see Zamboni re-enactments of “Days of Thunder” during intermissions.
Somewhat. Hiring Pat Foley is good. Hiring Axel Foley would’ve been great.
I’ll be impressed when they bring back Bill Wirtz. Didn’t he black out?
Impressed as I can be. Imagine if they actually make the playoffs one of these years.
John McDonough’s the man!
TOPIC 2: WHO WILL BE THE NEXT CHICAGO COACH TO GO ON A PROFANITY-LACED TIRADE?
Ozzie Guillen. And then Guillen again. And after that, possibly Skates, the Wolves’ mascot.
It SHOULD be whoever takes over as Bulls coach.
The Northwestern crew coach when the team has trouble getting past those dams.
Good God, I hope it’s Lovie Smith.
Piniella and Guillen will alternate.
TOPIC 3: IF KOBE BRYANT IS THE NBA MVP, WHO IS THE LEAST VALUABLE PLAYER?
Stephon Marbury, come on down! … Um, Stephon? … Is he with the interns again?
Apparently LeBron James, since he got only one MVP vote. He might as well be a Bull.
The Bulls team except for Benny the Bull, who is known for his bucks.
Sorry, I’m not taking NBA questions right now. This is my off-season.
Any one of five or six Bulls.
TOPIC 4: A BOY FINALLY STOPPED WEARING A BRETT FAVRE JERSEY AFTER FOUR-PLUS YEARS. YOUR THOUGHTS?
About three years longer than necessary, not unlike Favre himself.
Big deal. Most Packers fans wear the same underwear for twice that long.
If only Favre thought to do the same after four years.
He finally got tired of how dizzy he would get when his washing machine was on spin cycle.
He’ll put it back on when Favre is QBing the Ravens.
TOPIC 5: HBO’S ‘HARD KNOCKS’ WILL FILM COWBOYS CAMP. TELL US ONE THING YOU EXPECT TO SEE.
Coach Wade Phillips keeping his headset on in case Pacman has to make his one call from prison.
Jessica Simpson blows up Terrell Owens for hogging the makeup table.
Jessica Simpson because her boots are made for knocking.
Pacman Jones starting an office pool to pick his next arrest date.
It’s the Cowboys. “How exciting.” I won’t watch!
