How could the Sox get Jake Peavy but the Cubs couldn’t?
That’s an easy one. Kenny Williams is all desire. Jim Hendry is part desire, part corporate hack.
That caught me off-guard. He was coming over pre-injured. The Cubs never pass on that.
The Cubs’ training staff already is pulling double overtime shifts.
“Couldn’t get it done.” It’s been the Cubs’ motto for 101 years.
There are no vacancies on the Cubs’ disabled list.
Looks like Jay Cutler could use a nickname. What’s your suggestion?
“The First Coming.”
“J-Cut.” Although I’m pretty sure Jimmy nicknamed one of his biceps that. I think “Cher” is the other one.
Considering that his initials are J.C., “Bears Messiah.”
Brian Urlacher would simply like to insert an “N” somewhere in Jay Cutler’s name.
“A Cutler Above.”
What will be the first real controversy during Bears training camp?
Jay Cutler throws a pass .12 inches too high, fans call for his trade.
It will erupt after Lovie Smith announces that “Rex Grossman is our quarterback.”
Cutler will get caught turning Gatorade into wine.
Bears players arguing with play-by-play voice Jeff Joniak over who really is most ridiculous.
Staley Da Bear vs. Bear Jordan sideline spat. He just can’t share the spotlight.
Who in Chicago sports really deserves an ESPN documentary?
Jerry Reinsdorf. Most important sports figure in Chicago history.
If by “documentary” you mean “intervention,” then Milton Bradley.
I’m dying to see “Beneath the Scalp: The Jimmy Greenfield Story.”
Hawk Harrelson. His love of Catfish, his hate for umpires and his desire to demolish the Metrodome.
Mark Prior. His career already is over? That is mind-boggling.
More dominant: Michael Phelps or Tiger Woods?
Phelps. It’s apples to oranges, but Phelps never missed a cut.
Tiger Woods. Putts over putz.
Phelps is like Aquaman, who dominates in the water, but who cares? So I say Tiger.
You’re really mentioning Phelps in the same sentence as Tiger? You must be smoking Phelps’ bong.
Tiger. The competition in golf is much deeper, no pun intended.
