When Luol Deng was first injured, the Bulls listed him as day-to-day and no one thought much of it.  After keeping him as day-to-day for two weeks, they finally came out and said that he was injured and would be out at least two weeks with the possibility of surgery.  No big deal, right?  Just [...]

Paul Harvey, another Chicago broadcasting legend, passed away this weekend.  Why do they always go in bunches?  So sad. [...]
