ATTEND
Windy City Rollers home opener
6 p.m. Saturday (the day as published has been corrected in this text), UIC Pavilion
On the card: Hell’s Belles vs. Double Crossers and Manic Attackers vs. The Fury. With names like these, it’s gotta be good: Georgia On Yer Behind, Jackie Daniels, Ruth Enasia. And that’s just a sampling.
READ
‘Ron Shandler’s 2010 Baseball Forecaster’
Available Monday
Some fantasy baseball players swear by this annual “bible of fanalytics.” I’m guess Cubs fans would just swear at the predictions.
WATCH
‘Whip It’
Available Tuesday, DVD, Blu-Ray
It’s a roller-derby movie. No, it’s a coming-of-age story. No, it’s a roller-derby movie. Whatever it is, it’s also Drew Barrymore’s debut as a director. That just screams “sports,” doesn’t it?
PLAY
‘Blood Bowl’
Available Tuesday, Xbox 360
A combination of “Warhammer”-like fantasy games and football. It’s not too far removed from reality, though: One of the moves is “bribe the referee.”
ATTEND
Wolves vs. Hamilton
7 p.m. Saturday, Allstate Arena
The Wolves just had a seven-game win streak snapped. Now the first-place Bulldogs come to town. Coincidentally, it’s Adopt-A-Dog night. Might we suggest a little dog named Whizzer.
