This rebuild looks broken

Tuesday, Jan 29

The Bulls are a mess. They were a mess under coach Fred Hoiberg, and they're just as much of a mess under his replacement, Jim Boylen. Which means not only is the team wrecking the psyches of players and fans, but Phil Rosenthal writes that the Bulls also must have those outside the organization asking: Why would big-name players have faith in this rebuild? Boylen still is trying to look on the bright side, specifically the way Lauri Markkanen has played this season. That's all well and good, though K.C. Johnson writes that help in the form of Anthony Davis is a long shot at best. The six-time All-Star has demanded a trade from the Pelicans, but he's looking to go to a contender — and the Bulls are anything but that right now.

Big-man breakdown

Part 6 of Brad Biggs' analysis of the Bears roster highlights the defensive line. Short version: Locking in Akiem Hicks and Eddie Goldman looks brilliant. One thing the Bears should avoid, per David Haugh: Sign Kareem Hunt.

Hometown kid

Andre Reynolds II isn't your ordinary 17-year-old CPS student. Sure, he's got calculus exams. But he's also a pro soccer player, the second-youngest in Fire history and the first Academy product from the city of Chicago.

Slow hand

In an era of greater velocity and shorter starts, Kyle Hendricks is an anomaly. He has the slowest average fastball at 86.9 mph, though that's not what could limit him from reaching 200 innings for the first time in his career.

He gone

"Hawk" Harrelson doesn't know what to do with himself in retirement. Maybe the former White Sox announcer can spend his newfound free time in the Goose Island section of the right-field bleachers.

Best (worst) in state

Yes, the men's college basketball season has been particularly rough on the state of Illinois. So who is performing the best from the 13 Division-I programs? Shannon Ryan ranks them.

Quick and painful

If there's a sure way NOT to upset No. 2 Duke, falling behind 17-2 has to be it. Notre Dame discovered that the hard way Monday.
