The number of games Jay Cutler will be starting in the remainder of the 2014 NFL season. Let the Jimmy Clausen era….begin? This may the beginning of many ends up at Halas Hall.
The number of losses in the last 11 games for the Chicago Blackhawks, going into tonight’s game with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Here’s perspective from out of town — the Columbus Dispatch.

The number of wins on the season for the maximally-compensated Carmelo Anthony, who shunned the Chicago Bulls in favor of sticking with the New York Knicks. How’s that working out for you, Melo? It worked out great here, thank you very much.
