[ male announcer ] got something you'll love to keep doing? take care of your heart. you can start with cheerios. the natural whole grain oats can help lower cholesterol. this is what makes me happy, so i'll probably do this until the wheels fall off.

[ male announcer ] it's time. love your heart so you can do what you love. cheerios. that didn't go so well. >> big night for tom skilling though. he got about as many rebounds as noah did. the bulls had an alltime franchise low. it was not pretty. it's going to take boozer a while to get his feet under him. what excuse did the rest of them have? orlando punished them on the board. bulls fans been waiting for a long time for boozer. but orlando's big men were the story. dwight howard came to play. that kind of stuff happened all night. and apparently there's still plenty left in carter's tank too. there's boozer's hoop there.

wormed his way into it. his first late in the 1st half, orlando was up at half-time. even rose didn't have a good game. the magic did everything right non-the bulls lose 107-78. bad night at the office for the bulls. >> the way we started the game led to our demise. i mean, when they started getting those second shots, we can control blocking out. and we gave them those easy second chance opportunities. and when you do that against a team like -- you can't give them two chance. >> jim white 7-0 tonight. a good game too. ben for the ramblers 49-47 they trail by only two. but butler had most of the answers tonight. zach right back for the bulldogs. his three pointers makes it an eight point game.

and with loyola still hanging around, the deep corner. butler wins it 65-63 over the ramblers in the opener. bears got back to work today. still in great health and position in the nfc north. staring down a trap game sunday. the lions are down two quarterbacks. drew stanton is the new starter. name cutler the offensive player of the week. and the nfc defensive player of the month. indoor practice today. a lot has changed since the bears played detroit in the season opener. by the lions will be ready and the bears say they will be too. >> they have play makers on their team. at home they've put up the numbers. they put up some crazy number at home so they play well. what they do is start fast. so we've got to kind of slow that down a not let them get

points up early. >> this is a division opponent. i don't see how you can have a trap game with a division opponent. so we don't really get into -- we respect them every week. every week we play a team like the next game was bigger. it's no different this week. >> the big ten beat the acc in the challenge. auburn quarterback cam newton cleared by the ncaa for the rest of the year. and the orioles are interested in konerko. and monday night football this week, derek anderson kicked all over the field by the niners. anderson was caught laughing on the sideline. he got davensive about it afterward now everybody is on his case. >> i'm not laughing about it. you think this is funny? i take this sleep serious. i put my heart and is soul into

this [bleep] every week. >> i smile. so what? i can smile. i can have fun. this is a game that i love. and you're going to tell me that i can't have fun? you're supposed to have fun out there. if you don't have fun, you need to do somebody else. you know what? i'm done. [ laughter ] >> dwight howard. he can afford to laugh tonight. >> that should have been derek's answer. actually it kind of was. >> nice suit by the way. >> thanks. >> that's the news this wednesday night. i'm micah materre. >> is it new? >> it is not. no. >> good night. ring ring. progresso.
