102nd Edition - 2/21/07

• The Weekly Bull (30-25)

The Bulls held the Atlanta Hawks to ZERO FG in the 3rd quarter. The Hawks managed just eight points off of free throws. Needless to say, the Bulls went on to win 106-81 in their first game back after the All-Star break.

The Bulls next three games are going to prove what the team is made of, with an away game at Cleveland, home vs. the Washington Wizards and then at Detroit. Finishing those three games 2-1 would be a great step toward climbing up the division rankings.

Chris Duhon came off the bench and led the Bulls with 17 points, he was one of six to have double digits, three of which were Malik Allen, P.J. Brown, Adrian Griffin.

• Cubs: Zambrano gets paid ... for now.

Carlos Zambrano and the Cubs agreed on a one-year, $12.4 million deal. This avoided arbitration and Zambrano has also declined to refer to himself in the third person, instead opting to call himself "me." J is sure disappointed that J doesn't get to listen to Carlos Zambrano call himself Carlos Zambrano.

• Big Ten Basketball: We're #1 ... for one day

The Michigan St. Spartans, coming off a blowout victory versus my Iowa Hawkeyes, took that momentum and went ahead and beat the Wisconsin Badgers as well. Final Score, 64-55. The Badgers shot just 36 percent from the field. Now Ohio State is in the driver seat for the Big Ten title, and will likely be the new #1 in both polls.
