SPORTS OF ALL SORTS

FINALLY! my christmas present came early as the CHICAGO WHITE SOX FINALLY dumped that overweight piece of crap bullpen arsonist disguised as a closer. DONALD BELISARIO was the worst relief pitcher since BILLY KOCH for the south siders and i can't wait to see which team makes the mistake of signing him for 2015.  this release completes the perfect purge which included ADAM DUNN, GORDON BECKHAM  and that aforementioned piece of garbage.

hey, the new odds are out for SUPER BOWL and no, the BEARS are not at the top of the list but the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS are  at 4-1 with the packers right behind at 9-2. our boys are 150-1 which seems harsh but that's an improvement over an earlier line of 300-1.

are you ready for the LOVIE BOWL on sunday?  the lakefront weather will be 45 degrees with steady rain throughout the game so it will be fun to watch the teams tear up the brand new turf at soldier field, just  like old time football.  how important is this game for the bears? a loss to the 2-8 buccaneers will open up the windows at the local unemployment office for an entire coaching staff.  book it.

back to the white sox, they plugged one of their numerous bullpen holes by signing left handed set up man ZACH DUKE to a three year deal. duke is coming off a career year with the MILWAUKEE BREWERS and that's the red flag with this signing because duke was with four teams in four years and released by three of them, including the worst team in baseball, the HOUSTON ASTROS.  if duke is like 2014, it's a great signing but if he's like the last four years............

north side signings?  sorry, nothing to report.  paging JOHN LESTER.........?

derrick "MR. SOFTEE" rose?  no, nothing to report here either. he sat out two more games with sore muscles. TWO GAMES, not just one. seven out of twelve. maybe he'll play tonight but he'll have to check with his brother first because remember, "i can't play unless i'm a hundred per cent."
and he "could care less" what you think.

anyone else getting tired of BRANDON MARSHALL?

one person benefitting from rose acting like a sissy boy is free agent to be JIMMY BUTLER, who has taken over the offensive reins and keeps ringing up the cash register for next spring's negotiations. he turned down a three year offer of 24 million from the bulls in october and will now be looking at a 50% increase if he stays healthy.

HEY! THE CUBS JUST SIGNED A PITCHER!!!! is it john lester????????? sorry, it's C.J. EDWARDS, a 23 year old whose sore shoulder limited him to 10 games this past season. well, you have to start somewhere.

BEARS   34
TAMPA   21

if i don't talk to you, have a SAFE & HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
