Chisoxfn Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 They'll be up. The actual site hasn't launched yet. It is replacing TalkChicagoSports.com (this is a much catchier title). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 PK probably has been affected by injuries more this season then he has let on.
