The [Friday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

~~This column is in production!~~

And now, not so much. I've been waylaid - waylaid! - by a bunch of other stuff, so the material I was working on will have to hold - and it will - for the weekend or Monday.

Meanwhile . . .

And the chairs of Lincoln Square.

The College Football Report: The Fighting Costanzi!
Doing the opposite on a boogie-woogie weekend.

TrackNotes: Not So Super Saturday
When handsome ain't enough.

The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #19
Aaron Rodgers Playing At Cutler-Like Level.

Plus: Mel's Bells! It's Tucker Time. Jared Allen Is Not MIA. A Case Of The Mundys. Keeping Forte Fresh! Is Jay Cutler Bored? Leave The Black Unicorn Alone. The Verdict On Ventura. Wrigley Wrecking Ball.

The Week In Chicago Rock
In pre-production!

The Political Odds
Updated to reflect recent events.

Programming Note
If you sent us a note via the Tip Line from June to last week and never got a reply, well, it was broken and we didn't know it! Now fixed. Just so you know we weren't ignoring you.
