What does David Beckham’s suspension for Wednesday’s game in Chicago mean for the Fire?

That people will actually be at the game to watch the Fire.

Lots of women will be scalping tickets to this one. Who needs two at the top of the box?

The Fire will have to bend it like um … McBride?

No exchanges or returns for purchased tickets.

It’s like the worst surprise birthday party ever.

Does Patrick Kane deserve to play for Team USA in the Winter Olympics?

Sure, if he wears a cabbie uniform.

Actually, I think playing for Team USA would be a very apt punishment.

Yeah, but they should make him take public transportation to the games.

Yes, as long as it helps us beat out Team Canada.

He said he’s sorry, didn’t he? Good enough for me.

Give our readers a nugget of advice for their NFL fantasy league drafts.

Two words: Pittsburgh Steelers.

I would stay away from Bear QBs and WRs. And RBs. Also, Bear TEs.

Do NOT draft a QB in the first two rounds, especially not Mr. Psych-I’m-Not-Retired-Again Brett Favre.

Take Brett Favre. Apparently he is coming back now that training camp is over.

Draft only running backs.

More important to the Bears: Jay Cutler’s arm or Brian Urlacher’s back?

I was going to say nachos, but if you force me to choose, Cutler’s arm.

I think it’s cute how people are pretending we’re going to have an offense.

Jay Cutler’s arm, but Lovie Smith’s brain probably trumps both.

Jay Cutler’s mouth.

Is Jay Cutler new in Chicago? He should ride the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier!

How happy are the Cubs to have Ted Lilly back?

With all the losing going on, no one in the clubhouse noticed.

As happy as Kevin Gregg with a 20-run lead.

To Cubs Nation he is the Lilly-of-the-Valley right now. I love botany humor!

So happy that they are having a going-away party for Kevin Gregg.

They celebrated with an impromptu hokeypokey dance in the clubhouse.
