What does it all mean?

Wednesday, Jan 31

Quarterback Alex Smith was busy yesterday. Early on, he was singing the praises of his former Chiefs offensive coordinator/new Bears coach Matt Nagy: "I think he is going to do awesome. He is so real, honest and very gifted from an X's and O's standpoint." A few hours later, Smith was packing his bags for Washington, D.C., as the newest member of the Redskins. Why should you care about this, dear reader? Because Smith's trade will affect the Bears — and NFL draft. Speaking of the Bears, here's the intel on when Ryan Pace can pick up a few "big uglies" and why, not surprisingly, Zach Miller won't watch that video.

Get comfy

Nikola Mirotic: Still here. Well, in Portland, where the Bulls play tonight (9 p.m., NBCSCH). Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen: Not there. On the dial, it's WLS-AM 890 for 1 more game before the move to WSCR-AM 670.

You had him at hello

Steve Rosenbloom is easily swayed — the Hawks looked good in a 2-1 win over the Preds, so he's a believer again. And he's willing to get his heart broken. Anton Forsberg is willing to play more (if the Hawks are interested).

It's all good

Alshon Jeffery if flying high with the Eagles (get it?): "Look at all of this. It's amazing." And he owes it all to a Chicago physical therapist. Pro tip, Alshon: Don't eat this sandwich and then run a lot at the Super Bowl.

The 'Swiffer sport'

Think you could be an Olympic curler? Think again. "People try it the first time," Tabitha Peterson says, "then they can't stand up the next day." Touché. On the local front, another athlete is headed to Pyeongchang.

News of the day

Sad news: Former White Sox slugger Oscar Gamble died; he was 68. Odd news: Jayson Werth, baseball free agent and organic farmer, attended the State of the Union. Odder news: A plague of locusts could ruin the World Cup.
