I'm not much of a sports fan, but it's hard to ignore the Lebron-in-Chicago chatter that's approaching a fever pitch, with even the President saying James would look good in red and black. The Sun-Times rained on everybody's parade by arguing the King will not, in fact, become a Bull any time soon, but a Bulls higher-up says he's interested in pursuring James. That's not daunting Chicago Facebook users who want to woo both LeBron and--why not?--Dwayne Wade to the Windy City.
