ODDS & ENDS

the fans of the CHICAGO BULLS  are finding out that serious injuries are not very easy to recover from as they've watched DERRICK ROSE stumble through the early stages of the season.  he looks uncomfortable and is getting 'blown up' by other point guards which can't be good for his confidence.  the shooting will come around and the turnovers will disappear but maybe, just maybe, he's lost a step?  we'll see.

some pleasant news for chicago ears with the resignation of CUBS radio analylst KEITH MORELAND, one of the worst in my lifetime.  he was on the job three freakin years and still called STARLIN CASTRO............ "STARLING."   now if we could just get rid of BOTH radio guys on the south side. they suck.

i said it before but it bears repeating.  best announcers in chicago? a tie between PAT HUGHES & PAT FOLEY, who both do a wonderful job for the cubs and BLACKHAWKS. and the best analyst is STEVE STONE for the WHITE SOX. 

MNF was a nice surprise but don't drink the kool-aid just yet. the BEARS still can't tackle anybody and my mother could gain 4 yards off tackle.  this is a REALLY bad defensive team.  changes have to made at the safety positions but the bears have no one except CRAIG STELTZ on the roster, who would lose a foot race with PAUL KONERKO.

speaking of konerko, it's time to say good-bye to one of the classiest players to ever play in this city. the recent signing of JOSE ABREU to play first base pretty much sealed the deal because the sox are stuck with ADAM DUNN as their dh and there's just no room on the roster.  look for konerko to sign a one year contract out west, near his phoenix home.

and how about that MIAMI DOLPHIN situation?

more later
