OH BABY! BEARS QB JAY CUTLER AND FIANCEE HAVE THEIR BABY!
Congrats to Chicago Bears Quarterback and his fiancee, former reality star and actress (and Chicago native) Kristin Cavillari on the birth of their baby boy who was born this morning in Los Angeles. Given that the news came from Kristin’s own twitter account this morning, it’s pretty safe to assume that mom and baby are fine!
THEY PAID FORTE!!
Shouts out to the Chicago Bears for finally signing Matt Forte!! Patience has a virtue, because Forte’s $31 million deal will net her no less than $16 million!
DID YOU KNOW THAT CHICAGO HAD THE HOUSE OF TOMORROW?!
The House of Tomorrow was more than a Tex Avery cartoon! This 12-sided home is from the 1933 Chicago World’s fair and features several plate glass walls and even an airplane hangar (the hangar has been converted to living space)!After the fair, it was sold for $2500 and moved to Beverly Shores, Indiana. Several decades later, the home is without a renter and in need of $2 million in restoration. It was just placed on Indiana’s list of endangered sites.
IT’S “TALK LIKE SHAKESPEARE DAY” IN CHICAGO!

The worst kept secret in the NBA is finally out! Derrick Rose was named MVP of the NBA today. Rose, who’s in his third year in the league, finished #1 in voting in a top five that included Dwight Howard (#2), LeBron James (#3), Kobe Bryant (#4), and Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant. At only 22 years old, he becomes the youngest player in NBA history and the first Bull since the Greatest of All Time (Michael Jordan if your cue cards are upside down) to win the award!
