Sunday smorgasbord: Here’s hoping Pau Gasol does not make the Eastern Conference all-star team. Not that he doesn’t deserve to be on the squad. He simply could use the time off to rest his 34-year-old knees. The Chicago Bulls power forward had 29 points and 16 rebounds Saturday. Which came in handy on a night […]
OK, so some of us still are trying to figure out what day of the week it is. After that, maybe we will figure out what to do. After all, this is the first weekend of January 2015, isn’t it? Based on voluminous research, we are fairly certain New Year’s Day was Thursday. And if […]
No better way to start the new year than by watching some college football bowl games, some Chicago Bulls basketball and then some more college football. Along with feasting on an assortment of snacks and beverages. No worse way to start the new year than to have internet and work-related problems when you’re attempting to […]
Today’s effort will contain a minimum of sports coverage. Mainly because there was little of any significance happening Dec. 31, 2014. Well, as far as some of us were/are concerned. Welcome to 2015.

Oh, and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer. […]

Oh, to be so delusional. * Speaking of delusional, Bears coach Marc Trestman said in his postgame press conference he expected to be back next season after a 5-11 2014. […]
Sunday smorgasbord: Jimmy Butler probably won’t be an all-star game starter. Well, this season. Possibly in the future. The Chicago Bulls guard had a game-high 33 points in a 107-100 victory vs. the visiting New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night.

Kobe Bryant sat out the Christmas night matchup Thursday of his Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. Well, so did I. Of course, he was in street clothes on the Lakers bench.
