The NFL: 24/7, 365 and Counting


 I opened the Tribune sports’ section this morning expecting to read about another pathetic showing by the White Sox offense (five hits, one run, 13 punch-outs) vs. no-name lefty Danny Duffy and the Royals’ bullpen.  Oh, the story was there, alright, and lucky to make page four.  Ordinarily, you’d expect the story to start on page one, this being June and baseball, but it was more important to run some sort of photo spread of “BEARS VETERAN MINICAMP” running Tuesday through Thursday, don’t you know.

Wait, there’s more, as in a story on the team’s receivers’ coach; it spread over two pages and would’ve made two complete pages if not for the lame column about the NFL going to Las Vegas.  The Bears were a 6-10 team last season, with a shot at 9-7 and, if everything falls into place, 10-6.  I can only imagine the coverage the Broncos are getting in Denver.  No doubt, Colorado Rockies’ fans know what I mean.
