Various things
John Drury, one of the Chicago news anchors I grew up watching (he replaced, as I recall, the legendary Fahey Flynn at WBBM-TV) has died at 80 of ALS.
Bears featured back Cedric Benson is out for the season after leg surgery. The Bears now have a featured back named Adrian Peterson, and the Vikings don't. While our Peterson isn't anywhere near as good as the Vikings' Peterson, I've always thought he was plenty good enough to start in the NFL. I guess now we'll see.
The Cubs have signed the one-time "Kid K," Kerry Wood, to a one-year, 4.2 million dollar contract for next season. He may end up as the closer.
Somehow- despite their defeat at the hands of the lowly Iowa Hawkeyes- the Fighting Illini seem to be in the mix at this point for a New Year's Day date with probable destruction in the Rose Bowl.
