It looks like most of the paperwork on the Cubs sale has been completed and it will be signed soon. Now it has to clear some bankruptcy court hurdles and be approved by Major League baseball. I’m so sick of this story, just sell the damn team already so we can get some stability. [Bleacher [...]

Derrick Rose is apparently shooting between 500-1000 jumpers a day, 6 days a week. On top of that, he is supposedly working on his 3-point range as well. Good for the Bulls, bad for everyone else. [By The Horns]

A scathing review of Cubs management, ownership, and scouting. Even though they are overpaying for an underperforming team right now, I would say 3 playoff appearances in the last 6 years isn’t all that bad. [MidwestSportsFans]

Ok so Utah matched Millsap’s offer sheet which puts them at $81 million in salary. That is pretty much the death knell for Boozer’s tenure in Utah. The Boozer-Hinrich-Thomas rumor lives on. [By The Horns]
