SHOW NOTES
* 184.
2:28: Vic Fangio Slows Media’s Roll.
Vic Fangio: “I think it’s a wrong picture to paint that the defense was great and the rest of the team wasn’t.”
— Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) January 18, 2018
#Bears DC Vic Fangio on the strides made defensively this season: “We were 5-11. If we were a great defense, we’d have more than five wins. There’s a lot of room for improvement.”

I think I’m the only person in Chicago who doesn’t think Vic Fangio is completely irreplaceable.

Probably my favorite moment from today’s presser was Vic Fangio’s opening statement: “Alright, let’s continue this love fest. Go ahead.”

7:55: Skol, Vikings!
* On Case Keenum and the meritocracy.
16:17: Bells & Bulls.
* Coffman: Bulls’ Sample Size No Longer Small.
* Cowley: The Reality About Jordan Bell And The Bulls Just Might Surprise You.
20:00: The Duensing Principle.
* Signs With Cubs For Two More Years.
* Fangraphs: There Are Two Things To Be Said About Brian Duensing.
25:51: The Bulls Change The Narrative.
* Butler trade working out better than expected, i.e., Lauri Markkanen is pretty good even if Jimmy remains a star. But you’d still take Butler over Markkanen and Dunn; we haven’t seen Zach LaVine yet. So make no mistake, this trade isn’t likely to ever be a “win.”
* Niko Mirotic is for real.
* Hoiberg can coach given his kind of roster.
* Thibs time.
* Justin Holiday has played everywhere, man.
53:00: Corey Crawford Confusion.
* Lazerus: Sources: Blackhawks Fear Corey Crawford Might Be Out For The Season.
* Willie O’Ree’s Little-Known Journey To Break The NHL’s Color Barrier.
Chicago Blackhawk forward called him the n-word.
1:01:06: Schweinsteiger!
* He’s coming back!
* And so is Dax McCarty, more importantly.
