Before Scott Skiles blasts his players, he should look in the mirror.

Is it insane to think Scottie Pippen might be of some use to the Bulls?

Please tell me Ozzie was kidding when he suggested hitting Darrin Erstad in the lead off spot.

The Bulls should consider parting with a member of their core if it will bring in Pau Gasol in return.

The Bears turned the ball over, called dumb plays and couldn't stop the run. And yet they had the ball down only one score in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl.

Who knows how Rex will play on Sunday? But as long as he doesn't kill the Bears with turnovers, and can come through with just one or two key plays, the Bears' running game, defense and special teams can carry the day.

The Bears should be losing sleep over Joseph Addai, not Peyton Manning.

The Colts have the best passing attack in football. But the Bears' pass defense is also elite, and it better win this match-up if the Bears plan to compete with Indianapolis on Sunday.

The AFC's dominance over the NFC doesn't tell us much about the Colts v. Bears.

If anyone in Chicago is paying attention (other sports on our minds here), last night the Bulls showed why they're the best team in the Eastern Conference right now.

Can the Bears duplicate Bill Parcells's success in Super Bowl XXV?

Odds and ends about the Bears. Can a Tank fly? Is Lovie a Tuna substitute? How dumb are ESPN's "experts"?

There will be plenty of time for in depth analysis over the next two weeks, but in the meantime, here are a few observations from a truly enjoyable football weekend.

This is the most anxiety ridden Bears game in my lifetime, but I think they win it, close.

Parallels between Rex Grossman and Barack Obama. Okay, it's a stretch, but we all need something to say about the Bears.
