Inside Slant

He's baaaaaaack

Wednesday, Mar 21

Welcome to the hot-dog laden press box John Fox! The former Bears coach, who was fired after going 14-34 in 3 seasons, has been hired by ESPN as an NFL analyst. It's a curious move, considering he never exactly warmed up to the Chicago press. Nor has he been known to be a conversational chap in public. Oh, the stories he won't tell! As for Fox's old team, cornerback Kyle Fuller is back on a 4-year deal, receiver Cameron Meredith could soon be gone and linebacker Jerrell Freeman is still here. And Mitch Trubisky chatted at length about new coach Matt Nagy's offense on our Bears podcast. Take a listen (you too, Foxy).

Rambling on

The Ramblers are off to a rough start in Atlanta: Their police escort was a no-show and then their bus driver got lost. Fear not — Loyola finally arrived at its Sweet 16 practice. Lucas Williamson, did you see this coming?

The wayback machine

"A ding-dong dilly of a ballgame." That's how radio announcer Red Rush described Loyola's 1963 NCAA tournament title, with many a shot that "tickled the twines for two." Keeping it retro: Sister Jean is getting a new bobblehead.

Thanks for playing

There will be no playoffs for the Blackhawks for the 1st time in 10 seasons (although some could argue that getting swept last season doesn't count either, but we digress). And now, welcome to firing speculation season!

Musical chairs

5 days left. 1 Cubs bullpen spot up for grabs. It's been a pretty chill spring training — camp was run "very smoothly, very crisp" per Jon Lester. Oh sure, tell that to Ben Zobrist who has to carry TWO gloves now. Sheesh.

Help wanted

The Bulls will again be without Zach "I always want to hoop" LaVine, Kris Dunn and Lauri Markkanen vs. the Nuggets (7 p.m., NBCSCH). But don't worry Cam Payne will be out there, and he's wearing Paul George's shoes.
