The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #184: Bell & Bulls, Vic & Vikes, Corey's Confusion

By Jim Coffman and Steve Rhodes

Shifting narratives all over the landscape. Plus: The Duensing Principle, and Schweinsteiger!

SHOW NOTES

* 184.

2:28: Vic Fangio Slows Media's Roll.

Vic Fangio: "I think it's a wrong picture to paint that the defense was great and the rest of the team wasn't."
— Adam Hoge (@AdamHoge) January 18, 2018

#Bears DC Vic Fangio on the strides made defensively this season: "We were 5-11. If we were a great defense, we'd have more than five wins. There's a lot of room for improvement."

I think I'm the only person in Chicago who doesn't think Vic Fangio is completely irreplaceable.

Probably my favorite moment from today's presser was Vic Fangio's opening statement: "Alright, let's continue this love fest. Go ahead."

7:55: Skol, Vikings!

* On Case Keenum and the meritocracy.

16:17: Bells & Bulls.

* Coffman: Bulls' Sample Size No Longer Small.

* Cowley: The Reality About Jordan Bell And The Bulls Just Might Surprise You.

20:00: The Duensing Principle.

* Signs With Cubs For Two More Years.

* Fangraphs: There Are Two Things To Be Said About Brian Duensing.

25:51: The Bulls Change The Narrative.

* Butler trade working out better than expected, i.e., Lauri Markkanen is pretty good even if Jimmy remains a star. But you'd still take Butler over Markkanen and Dunn; we haven't seen Zach LaVine yet. So make no mistake, this trade isn't likely to ever be a "win."

* Niko Mirotic is for real.

* Hoiberg can coach given his kind of roster.

* Thibs time.

* Justin Holiday has played everywhere, man.

53:00: Corey Crawford Confusion.

* Lazerus: Sources: Blackhawks Fear Corey Crawford Might Be Out For The Season.

* Willie O'Ree's Little-Known Journey To Break The NHL's Color Barrier.

Chicago Blackhawk forward called him the n-word.

1:01:06: Schweinsteiger!

* He's coming back!

* And so is Dax McCarty, more importantly.
