• An interesting look at whether Jordan or Pippen could have stopped Lebron.
  
• Apparently Toews and Kane are inching closer to all-star bids. Vote now!
  
• What is this new hotel/complex that is being built across from Wrigley Field. I'm a "purist" (whatever that means), so I don't like the idea but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if done correctly.
  
• Illinois finally wins a game against someone I've heard of! Missouri is decent, but I didn't know they were ranked! What's the story with Alex Legion?
• Crazy drunk Bears fan found wandering around the Field Museum after the Bears game.
  
• Top ten Bears moments in 2008.
