Chicago

In anticipation of Monday night's showdown with the Bears, Arizona Cardinals rookie QB Matt Leinart revealed a secret during a press conference Thursday. When reporters told Leinart he looked good in his first NFL start a week ago, the Heisman winner misunderstood and told reporters his good looks are maintained with the help of a beauty kit.

The early success of the Bears has some fans in such a frenzy they're changing their name to "Lovie" after the team's head coach, Lovie Smith. It doesn't seem to matter, male or female, everybody is switching their given birth names.

The 2006 Chicago Bulls are not designed for fast-paced, end-to-end action. Now their home court won't be, either.

The Chicago Blackhawks shocked the world last night—or at least the very small part of it that still follows professional hockey—by beating the Nashville Predators 8-6. The game didn't start the way the Blackhawks would have liked. Former Hawk J.P. Dumont scored 39 seconds into the game giving Nashville the early lead. Then four minutes later, Kimmo Timonen rifled one past Hawk goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin to put the Predators up 2.

Playoffs or no playoffs, Sox fans came out in droves to torch cars, loot retail stores and cause general mayhem all over the South Side upon hearing the news that their team has missed the playoff race. Although it is not uncommon for some sports fans to riot after their team captures a title, Sox fans need no apparent reason to cause destruction.
