Take a look at the NFC North standings, and you'll notice the Bears aren't out of it yet. With only a game separating them and the Vikings, they still could win this thing. Imagine that.
The Bulls have won seven games already, including two out West, and I consider this tremendous progress. But they obviously need some inside help. Why wait?
One week people are calling for you to get a contract extension, and the next week they're calling for Donovan McNabb.
Derrick Rose, Matt Forte, Patrick Kane. Three superstars in the making. And each time I watch one of them play, I ask myself, How lucky can one city get?
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers must be breathing a sigh of relief. After getting knocked around but good Sunday by the Minnesota Vikings, facing the Bears at Lambeau next week will be a welcome break. In case you haven't heard, the Bears can't pressure anybody.
Carol Slezak: The Bulls will miss Kirk Hinrich. But just how much will they miss him? Hinrich, who tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb during Friday's game, will undergo surgery on Tuesday at Rush University Medical Center. He will miss up to three months.
