Mike Mulligan: There is just no way for the Bears to win tonight in their preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Oh, they should win the game. They should win it big, but doing so might create a false impression and unrealistic expectations for a team that still needs to settle key positions on offense.
Jay Mariotti: BEIJING -- Kill the mustache. That's all I ask of Michael Phelps, who has a wonderful chance to become the most hallowed athlete on earth if only he spares us the visual of a mousy, malnourished Fu Manchu. If it doesn't quite resemble the sea algae that threatened the boating events, it's definitely closer to porn-star-droopy than Al Hrabosky.
This was the formula White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been waiting for. Make that begging for. A starting pitcher still on the mound in the seventh inning, rather than showered and in street clothes, getting the next four days off to think about his miserable outing. A timely hit early on to give his team the lead and send a message.

Let's admit it, we feel cooler wearing a piece of jewelry from a Chicago artist: It's like being part of a club nobody knows about. For those with no artistic abilities -- shoppers just happy to discover locally designed jewelry -- here are five local artists, each with a distinct vision and method for their craft, whether it's laminating old postage stamps or carving wood from an old baseball bat. 
Dave Hoekstra: The everlasting memory of my 1991 trip down Route 66 was the way I reconnected with the basic goodness of people. I was 36 and maybe something of a hot shot. The summertime trip from Chicago to Santa Monica, Ca. was a refresher course on how to listen to strangers, trust your heart and slow down. How great is it that Paul McCartney and his girl friend Nancy Shevell are checking out Route 66? Maybe I'm amazed.
