Today’s column from CBS Chicago … (CBS) There was no joy in Wrigleyville on Wednesday night. No game, either. But there was plenty of drama in the neighborhood. Isn’t there always these days?

Michigan Fell Short, But The Big Ten Is Back
Tuesday’s column from CBS Chicago … (CBS) Well, the Big Ten had its chance. But like the Chicago Cubs – OK, OK, it’s not that bad – the league’s title drought carries on.
