To those who have contested it since 1945, the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk has been a source of pride, a symbol of their passion for college football. To the NCAA, though, the tomahawk is, like Chief lliniwek, an objectionable use of an Indian symbol. As a result, Illinois and Northwestern have agreed to bury the hatchet.
John Jackson: After the Bulls' embarrassing 116-74 loss Wednesday to the Portland Trail Blazers, I was curious to see how rookie coach Vinny Del Negro would react the next day.
Brad Biggs: With great pay come great expectations, so it's difficult to get as worked up about defensive end Mark Anderson's struggles this season as it is about some of the Bears who went through the Jerry Angelo cash-rewards program in the offseason.

the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, where the site’s popular
bedroom vlogging stars will share the stage with the likes of Akon and

Terry Savage: There was a time not so long ago when government officials debated which institutions were "too big to fail." Now they're learning the lesson that the global economy is "too big to control." It is the height of conceit for government and corporate officials to spend their time -- and our money -- debating priorities for rescuing constituencies.
