In the ultimate compliment an NBA team can pay a rookie, the Portland Trail Blazers focused their entire defensive strategy on getting the ball out of Derrick Rose's hands during the Bulls' big loss Wednesday. Rose, who has been nothing short of a sensation in his first month as a pro, had his worst game of the season against Portland, scoring just six points on 1-for-8 shooting.
Maybe Pete Weber or Carmen Salvino can roll the coin before the Illinois-Northwestern game today. That's because it will be all about going bowling -- postseason bowl games -- when the fatted Cats (8-3, 4-3 Big Ten) host the upstreaming Illini (5-6, 3-4) at winter-ready Ryan Field (2:30, BTN, 720-AM, 560-AM).
Brad Biggs: The trick with getting first-round draft pick Chris Williams on the field, besides finding the right opportunity, is picking someone to send to the bench.

She might be one of the wealthiest celebrities with an estimated worth of $2.5 billion, but that doesn't mean that Oprah Winfrey can't be frugal in these difficult economic times. Naysayers who still think we aren't in a recession need look no further than Winfrey's annual "Favorite Things" list of gifts. 
Andrew Patner: What would happen if a leading British-based music magazine ranked the world's leading orchestras and the "winning" U.S. ensemble didn't care? That's basically what's happened when leaders of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra shrugged their collective shoulders over the London monthly the Gramophone saying that it's the top classical outfit in the United States. 
Word that President-elect Barack Obama has settled on New York Fed chief Timothy Geithner as his treasury secretary was enough to send Wall Street rallying Friday. The markets had been going down until the word began to leak out Friday afternoon that Geithner, president of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, would be announced Monday as Obama's choice.
