It's not that Jon Lester is selfish when it comes to his Cubs starts. It's just … "I'm old-school on this. I get paid to pitch. I get paid to pitch innings. Hopefully the day I pitch is the day the bullpen thinks they can get a break." Hear that, Joe Maddon and new wingman Brandon Hyde? Don't take away the ball from Lester (unless he's attempting a pickoff move to first — sorry too easy). Over at White Sox camp, Michael Kopech is still throwing the baseball very fast. And Eloy Jimenez is still resting his sore knee, thus missing tomorrow's spring training game against the Cubs. Random question: Have you peeped this year's Sox media guide? Mercy.

Thanks for the memories

The U.S. finished with 23 medals in the 2018 Olympics (their lowest total since 13 in 1998). It's a bit of a bummer, but here's a feel-good story of the "reject" curlers to make you smile. Miss you already, live sports on TV at 2 a.m.

Hartbroken

The bad news is the Hawks lost faith in Ryan Hartman, a former 1st-round pick. The good news is they get to try it again with Nashville's. That's Steve Rosenbloom's trade deadline synopsis. Ours? Time to make the donuts.

Welcome back

Hey, remember the Bears? You'll be hearing a lot more from them/about them as the NFL combine begins tomorrow in Indianapolis. Which players might the Bears be targeting? And will Ryan Pace get a haircut for the occasion?

Holiday break

The Bulls play tonight (6:30 p.m., WGN). The Bulls also play tomorrow. Which means, Zach LaVine will rest. Which also means, Justin Holiday will play. Holiday. Celebrate. Injury news: Jimmy Butler out 6 weeks after surgery.

Bubble watch

25-5 Loyola won their conference's regular-season title. But they aren't a lock to make the NCAA tournament. What gives? In the B1G, could Leron Black and Illinois play spoiler at MSG? You have to pay, er, play to find out.
