Give us at least one reason to like the Boston Red Sox.
Theo Epstein. Hottest. GM. EVER.
They’re everything the Cubs could be but aren’t.
“Fever Pitch.” Started the tradition where Jimmy Fallon, not the Red Sox, is the joke.
They don’t have Manny anymore.
Youkilis has the coolest nickname in baseball — the Greek God of Walks.
What’s a better name for the Washington Nationals?
I call them the Gnationals: They’re annoying to have around but ultimately harmless.
The Kansas City Royals.
A few suggestions: Washington Monumental, Natty Delight, Abraham Lincoln.
Washington White Flags.
I still like the Washington Filibusters.
How should the Bears greet former quarterback Kyle Orton in Sunday’s game in Denver?
I’d start with an opening blitz and then maybe a bundt cake.
Oh, let’s not talk about him no more.
With reverence. Kyle Orton, after all, single-handedly inspired the Cash for Clunkers program.
A bottle of Jack and a couple of sacks.
Like the smug guy who sees his ex at a party but now has a way hotter girlfriend.
How will it go when Brett Favre plays the entire first half Monday night against Houston?
I hope Adrian Peterson likes fakes and audibles!
Like a dead whale drifting out to sea.
If he goes all night long, it’s probably because he’s got a good O line.
Magic 8 Ball says “Outlook not so good.”
Good as long as Favre remembers to take his Geritol and Metamucil.
What Chicago athlete should Shaq face on his reality show “Shaq Vs.”?
Sam Fuld — I’d love to see Shaq go face-first into a cyclone fence and shake it off.
Joakim Noah. They could have an eating contest and Shaq can see how many bites it takes to swallow him.
Derrick Rose. On a very special episode, Derrick would cheat but Shaq is wack.
Mike Ditka … Da Coach!
How about against Geovany Soto in a “Fly-out-weakly-to-right-field” contest?
