We have had a busy few days in Chicago and national sports television, between the Bears/Patriots blowout and the Vikings and Giants moving their game to Monday night in a different city, Detroit. We still do not know at this writing where the Bears will face the Vikings -- indoors or outdoors -- but we do know that it will be on Monday night, Dec. 20 at 7:30 pm CST.
↵↵So today, take a breather. There's only a handful of games on television this Tuesday night -- all of our local teams have the day off.
↵↵6 p.m., Versus: NHL, Penguins at Flyers.
↵↵6 p.m., Big Ten Network: College basketball, North Carolina Central at Michigan. The Wolverines are 7-2 in their nonconference schedule so far. This includes beating up on an Ivy League school, a couple of local small colleges and some directional schools; tonight is another one of those. Don't expect this to be that easy, Michigan, when you face the rest of the Big Ten, about half of whom are ranked.
↵↵Yep, that's it. After these games are over, take the rest of the evening off and rest up for next weekend's pro football. The Bulls and Blackhawks are back in action Wednesday.
