Every NBA player has a role. That’s not to say that every NBA player has the right role. I worked at a law firm for five years. For the first year, I worked in the file room. I did well there because it would definitely be possible to train a primate to do the job. […]

The Blackhawks will conclude their post-Olympics road trip on Tuesday night in Winnipeg when it takes on the Jets. These two teams met at the United Center in mid-January, with much of the focus that evening on former Hawks captain Jonathan Toews playing in his first game in Chicago as an opponent. The Hawks won that game 2-0 and much of what was discussed regarding Winnipeg in the preview for that game still holds true. The Jets are still 10 points behind a playoff spot and have just 23 ...
