Sun-Times Reviews North’s Settling the Score

ike North, well-known Chicago sports critic has written Settling the Score:  Talkin’ Chicago Sports, a book that raises a crtitical eye to the Chicago sports industry.  The Sun-Times review of the book, published by Chicago sports publisher Triumph Books, gives the impression that the book is, largely, a compliation of North’s opinions on various Chicago sports.  If you’re curious about his writing style, you can find him all over the web, and he has he written for the Sun-Times.  While I find the book intriguing, I find it frustrating that he obviously has a bias toward talking about the Bears–he spends a much larger portion of the book on them than on any other team.  He also completely leaves out the Chicago Fire.  While soccer may not be as popular as other sports in the Windy City, I think the recent matches between team U.S.A. and Spain and Brazil prove that soccer is not a sport to be forgotten about anywhere the United States.
