Men’s Big Ten basketball is nasty this season! Its talent level is spilling over. Can’t wait for the tourney. No. 5 Illinois at No. 10 Michigan State last night was a classic.

YouTube listed top commercials for Sunday Super Bowl and while most are plain dumb, I loved Xfinity’s with original Jurassic Park cast; Hellmann’s mayo with Meal Diamond; GrubHub ‘fees’ with George Clooney; and Pepsi-Coke blind taste test with polar bear.

Watched 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey receive ‘Comeback Player of The Year’ on National Football League Honors Night. Among those he credited for inspiring him was running backs coach “Bobby T” — Bobby Turner, an EC Washington grad.

Today was another reason not to follow the greedy NBA and its cold-hearted ownership. They don’t give a damn about you, the loyal fan, as players change teams like they do their underwear. The league has become a revolving door.

Covered Bulls’ 6 NBA championships but wouldn’t cross the street today to watch them play. They trade all their expiring contracts, welcoming mediocrity like the small-market team they prefer to be while the rich get richer throughout this league.

Going with New England to beat Seattle in the Feb. 8 Super Bowl. Big fan of Coach Mike Vrabel, but quit following Patriots after second-round draft pick safety Eugene Wilson (Merrillville, Illinois) starred from 2003-07, earning Super Bowl rings in ‘03 and ‘04.
