Spellman's Scorecard: Always room for more morsels

  • It sure seems that Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has just about had it with the Derrick Rose will-he-or-won't-he nightly situation. And who could blame him?

Hey, can you stop by and bring me a coffee?

I'm filling out my clipboard while waiting in line here at Service Merchandise.

 

After that it's off to Memco and Zayres for slacks and some enormous hats.

What?

Random thought:

The first NFL team to hire a clock-management coach will earn my eternal praise.

Big surprise:

So Chicago's unpredictable weather can make it difficult to finish an off-season construction project?

Who knew?

Just wondering:

Are the windshield-washer people in cahoots with the road-salt guys?

Pretty sure:

Thibs is at DEFCON 3 with this D-Rose stuff, and I don't blame him one bit.

Wonder how Q would handle it. Or Robin, or Joe.

Pretty sure I already know how Marc would, and it wouldn't be good.

Turkey trivia:

Courtesy of the good folks at the University of Illinois:

Wild turkeys spend the night in trees.

They prefer oak trees.

That is so random and so awesome.

I'm sensing:

The White Sox exploding with a huge trade or a big free-agent signing … and soon.

They seem to be in that go-for-it mode.

What a deal:

Twitter tells me I can have my very own Ronnie Woo Woo bobblehead doll … for only $20!

Um, no.

Question:

The Bulls have Noah, Gasol, Butler, etc. The Hawks have Kane, Shaw and a plethora of others.

Who's the one Bears player who's really likable from a fan's perspective?

Maybe Willie Young? Kyle Long?

The equation:

Josh McCown is to Bears fans what Mark DeRosa was to Cubs fans.

Is it me ...:

Or does Pat O'Donnell take forever to boot his punts?

Nice little Saturday:

After stops at Home Depot and maybe Bed Bath & Beyond -- if there's enough time -- maybe a stop at the Allstate Arena to catch the Wolves vs. Rockford?

That's gonna be some entertaining hockey between the top two teams in the Midwest Division.

Plus:

Chris Chelios is going to be on hand to sign copies of his new book "Made in America."

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
 

I've read a few chapters and it's really good. And I'm absolutely not a sports-book guy.

More turkey trivia:

Forty-six million turkeys are eaten each Thanksgiving, 22 million on Christmas and 19 million on Easter.

Christmas?

Geesh, it's less than a month away.

Don't know about you, but:

I miss David Diehl.

And finally:

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is able to get outside this weekend.

It's gonna be beautiful.

Enjoy!
