Today the McCaskey family and the Chicago Bears lay to rest Virginia McCaskey. Here is my tribute to her at Windy City Gridiron upon her 100th birthday. One of the toughest pieces to write, and one of my favorites. RIP and Bear Down! www.windycitygridiron.com/2023/1/5/235...

Jalen Hurts got benched in the National championship game. He didn’t complain. Just balled out. Critics said he wouldn’t make it as a NFL quarterback. He didn’t complain. Just balled out. Now he’s a Super Bowl MVP.

Is Zach LaVine our generation's Reggie Theus? Theus played 5 1/2 years with the Bulls, 82 games a year, playoffs once, two All-Star teams, two 20 PPG seasons, and left Chicago ranked 5th in points, 2nd in assists and steals, but very little lasting impact on the franchise or fanbase.
