Derrick Rose is far from a self-promoter, but the Bulls rookie point guard didn't hesitate to offer an opinion when asked to assess his performance this season. ''I'm playing well,'' he said. ''I never thought that I'd play this well. I thought it would take a little bit longer. But I appreciate my coaches and my veterans helping me out with the offense and just with the whole game.''
The surest sign Devin Hester doesn't have his edge as a return man can be found in opponents' game plans. They're kicking to him these days without fear of reprisal. That's what Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after Hester was bottled up in the Packers' 37-3 victory over the Bears on Sunday at Lambeau Field.
The Blackhawks aren't into individual statistics. They're just trying to stay in playoff position as they enter Game 2 of their six-game trip tonight against the Dallas Stars. There's one individual stat that's intriguing, though. Defenseman Aaron Johnson, who didn't even make the season-opening roster, is tied for second in the NHL in plus/minus at plus-11. Only Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin (plus-17) rates higher.

Lori Rackl: I never thought I'd play chicken with an elephant. But there I stood in an open-roofed safari jeep, square in the path of the world's largest land mammal. The thirsty, tusked behemoth was en route to water and we were in its way. All six of us in the jeep watched silently as it lumbered closer, stopping a few feet short of the vehicle.

Jim DeRogatis: Just shy of eight years after what he said was the band's last show ever at Metro in December 2000, Billy Corgan finally brought the Smashing Pumpkins back home to Chicago Tuesday, marking the return of a key band of the alternative era and one of the best-selling groups this city has produced.
David Roeder: Condo developer Warren Barr is grievously disappointed that he can't pursue a project that was to be his mark on the skyline. But he can be thankful he is exiting the deal financially intact. Barr has sold property at 830 S. Michigan where he planned an 80-story building. The financial crisis and overbuilt housing market have rendered those plans moot for probably at least three years, so Barr concluded now was the time to get out. "I really wanted to do this building, but the market today just makes it impossible," he said. An insider said the property sold for around $18 million.
