Image via Michael Jordan, the greatest player to ever lace 'em up in the NBA, had himself quite a Hall of Fame speech on Friday. Was he cocky? Yeah. But can you blame him? He single-handedly kept Karl Malone, John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley and Gary Payton without a NBA championship ring.

Based on this favorable review (and funny anecdote) by Robert Wenzel, I got David Falk's The Bald Truth a few months ago. It makes for great bathroom reading. Falk is a sports agent, whose most famous client was Michael Jordan. (Jordan's ghostwriter did the foreword for the book.) This book is good because it shows exactly how Falk was able to negotiate such lucrative contracts for his clients; it...

Chicago's final fundraiser for its 2016 Olympic bid drew the biggest crowd yet, but raised only $5 million this evening, the lowest tally of three major events aimed at luring private cash. The sum was raised from an estimated 3,300 supporters, or 1,000 more than attended last year's fundraiser.
