1. What will fill your NFL void now that the Super Bowl’s over?
Phil Thompson: Lots of Scrabble. Tackle Scrabble.
Scott Bolohan: My fantasy NFL Player Arrest League. Go Vick!
Clark Jones: I’ll catch Chelsea Handler’s new show until it’s canceled, so that gives me two weeks.
John Dooley: With a cuddly, wuddly Robbie Gould teddy bear, football season never ends. Not that I have one.
Christine Pawlak: Checking out some available tight ends. HOLLER!
2. When will the Blackhawks’ losing streak end?
Phil Thompson: How long are we going to play musical goalies (which, turns out, ain’t the ideal party game)?
Scott Bolohan: When Andrew Shaw stops feeling bad for their opponents.
Clark Jones: I hear Derrick Rose is working on his slap shot.
John Dooley: Once the Hawks adhere to the demands of the Mayan gods and burn Tommy Hawk as a sacrifice.
Christine Pawlak: When the sun rises in the west and … wait, that’s from “Game of Thrones.”
3. What move must the Blackhawks make before the NHL trade deadline?
Phil Thompson: The GM doesn’t want to trade for a goalie. So the answer’s obvious: Trade for a new GM.
Scott Bolohan: Andrew Brunette. Just literally get him to move faster.
Clark Jones: That one move where they steal a flux capacitor and travel back to the 2010 championship.
John Dooley: Addition by subtraction: Bryan Bickell and John Scott left in the Rockies after the game against Colorado.
Christine Pawlak: A goalie. Ryan Miller might prefer Chicago’s winters to Buffalo’s.
4. How have the Bulls stayed first in the East with all their injuries?
Phil Thompson: The NBA’s giving a half-hearted effort–which is a comatose-hearted effort by regular-people standards.
Scott Bolohan: Geographic proximity to Detroit, Cleveland and Minnesota.
Clark Jones: They stopped eating that fake pink meat from McDonald’s.
John Dooley: Winning due to the post repertoire of Brian Scalabrine, leaving defenders amazed and confused.
Christine Pawlak: Have you looked at the East lately? The Wizards couldn’t beat a JV squad.
5. How are you counting down the days until the start of spring training?
Phil Thompson: By throwing paper balls at co-workers. Oh, don’t get up in arms, I throw a changeup in there.
Scott Bolohan: By adding 15 pounds of muscle and learning a cut fastball.
Clark Jones: With a Mayan calendar, the Cubs were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yesterday.
John Dooley: Ooh! I just realized I can use my Countdown to Twilight Opener Countdown Clock for something else.
Christine Pawlak: I’m not. I’m counting down the days until the NFL comes back.
