The event is raising funds for education in Darfuri refugee camps in eastern Chad. Education for a Generation will include hors d’eouvres, music, and presentations by community leaders including Bulls star Luol Deng and John Prendergast, co-founder of the Enough Project. Jim Rose, the ABC-7 sportscaster, will be moderating this event.

In the words of Yogi Berra, "It ain't over till it's over." (who also looked better than Cal Ripkin Jr.) </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/all-star-break#post-261 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:43:11 +0000 rfisch4 261@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Just watched the introductions with all the hall of fame greats. It's a bitch that I'm getting old and putting on a few pounds but it really sucks to see your heroes deteriorate like that. I vote to cut that out in the future.

What kind of chicken shit management is that? </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/no-more-mike-north#post-219 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:01:43 +0000 timfitz 219@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Yeah, the firing of Mike North doesn't bother me, I didn't really listen to him. What caught my attention on the whole thing is Jay Mariotti saying "We only can hope that the end of Mike North is the beginning of decency.." I thought that's like the pot calling the kettle black. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/no-more-mike-north#post-217 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:05:26 +0000 rfisch4 217@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>I never really listened to him. He struck me as a big mouth, know it all. Mariotti I really can't stand. He's like North to the nth degree. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/no-more-mike-north#post-215 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:10:01 +0000 timfitz 215@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Mike North is no longer on The Score here is what he said on his <a href="http://www.northtonorth.com">website:</a><br /> <blockquote>I am now done at the Score.

That's what the news business is today - report the down side of everything. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/big-brown-will-he-do-it#post-164 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:41:20 +0000 joe 164@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Big Brown losing was a bigger story then Da'Tara winning? Hmmm, maybe not. Waht I saw from Da'Tara and Zito was a good combo like Birdstone and Zito against Smarty Jones a few years back. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/big-brown-will-he-do-it#post-162 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 13:53:17 +0000 timfitz 162@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>I imagine his bum hoof had a lot to do with it. </p> http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/topic/big-brown-will-he-do-it#post-159 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 02:30:27 +0000 rfisch4 159@http://forum.chicagosportstalk.com/ <p>Last one was in 78.
