Jay Mariotti: He didn’t posture and break off talks, as Tommie Harris did. He didn’t hiss and moan like a child and threaten to blow off training camp, as Brian Urlacher did. Even on the spring day when Robbie Gould — a terrific kicker but, still, a kicker — cashed in for a cool $15.5 million, Devin Hester didn’t whine publicly about the farcical injustice that his own contract had become.
Carlos Quentin hit two home runs, including the go-ahead, three-run shot during a five-run eighth inning, helping the Chicago White Sox rally to beat the Texas Rangers 10-8 on Wednesday.
BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- With news of his absence from training camp blaring from a sports talk station in the background, Devin Hester said he's prepared to dig in for the long haul.
When wedding bells rang earlier this year for Julia Vazquez-Zimmerman, she and her husband, Andrew Zimmerman, were cost-conscious in planning the festivities.

Chicago rapper Kanye West has joined forces with MTV for the
documentary ‘‘Choose or Lose & Kanye West present: Homecoming,’’
the next installment of the ‘‘Choose or Lose’’ campaign, which tells
the stories of war veterans and the difficulties they face once they
return home.
The handshake may always have a firm grip on business, but the fist bump is making inroads -- albeit in the face of some resistance. "I have not encountered a fist bump and would judge anyone who tried it as a total redneck," said Dr. Grace Keenan, medical director of Nova Medical and Urgent Care Center in Ashburn, Va.

If Devin Hester is looking for a boost in his bid for a new contract--he's next in line now that Brian Urlacher is signed, sealed and delivered--how about his status as a starting wide receiver? Offensive coordinator Ron Turner said Tuesday that Hester and Brandon Lloyd will likely start with the first team at practice today. The duo did quite a bit of that during the offseason program and Turner said they'll probably get the nod ahead of Marty Booker and the long list of others including Mark Bradley.
