Short Hops
- The Minnesota Vikings' Bernard Berrian expects boos when he returns to this old stomping grounds at Soldier Field this Sunday. C'mon Bears fans, don't let him down.
- If his contract doesn't discourage the White Sox from resigning him, Ken Griffey Jr.'s recent knee surgery might.
- Evanston remembers one of his favorite sons, former MLB pitcher Kevin Foster.
- Speaking of favorite sons, new Wolves head coach Don Granato is happy to be back home as he prepared for the team's home opener Saturday night.
- Remember the Cubs' "fan" who tried to auction off his loyalty on eBay? He may have found a buyer and a kindred spirit in the Boston Red Sox.
- In the battle of sports radio on Chicago (well, it's actually just a two-horse race), WSCR-AM has taken the lead.
- De La Salle's Mike Shaw is being touted by ESPN as the "next big thing" in Chicago high school basketball.
- Even if you're not entered in this weekend Urbanathlon, you can still go down and enjoy the party.
- The Windy City Rollers are holding tryouts. If you think you have what it takes (and can come up with a clever alias like "Val Capone" or "Lucy Furr"), come to a scrimmage preview on Monday. Incidentially, the WCR All-Stars made it to the national finals in Portland, Oregon.
