 Tuesday, Dec 19 You fools! It's a rebuilding season. AKA, lose a few or several games to get that sweet, sweet No. 1 pick. Instead, the Bulls went from losing 10 straight to winning 6 straight, including games like last night that a young team is supposed to lose. Trailing 107-99 with 3:49 to the 76ers, the Bulls "found a way to battle back," coach Fred Hoiberg said after the 117-115 win. Great job guys — you've gone and given Steve Rosenbloom nightmares. Winning in a season when you're supposed to tank and losing in previous seasons when you're supposed to compete. That's so Bulls. |
| Pride? Nope. The Bears are playing to avoid embarrassment Sunday at Soldier Field. But what happens if they (gulp) lose to the winless Browns? Pain. Also, they'd probably swap places at the bottom in the power rankings. |

| It was "arguably his best game," said John Fox re: Mitch Trubisky vs. the Lions. You know, the game in which the Bears QB threw 3 INTs. Ummmm. Hmmmm. Tonight: Will any Bears get a Pro Bowl nod (7 p.m., NFLN)? |

| Only a few more shopping days left — and the Cubs want a starting pitcher. So Theo and Jed hopped a plane to Dallas to visit Yu Darvish. No word if they spotted White Sox's Carlos Rodon hiding in his "honey hole." |
|
| Patrick Sharp's 2nd stint with the Blackhawks hasn't been the best. But would Coach Q bench a player that has meant so much to the franchise? For Jordin Tootoo, it's been 7 years, 2,556 days and 1 day at a time. |
|
| College football recruits can sign with teams starting Wednesday until Friday. No, you didn't take a very long nap and wake up in February. It's a new rule — and coaches are split. But we're guessing Lovie Smith is for it. |
