    "The face of Chicago sports long ago lost its wagging tongue and may no longer be found beneath a shaved dome. It doesn't have Derrick Rose's youthful look or Lou Piniella's white stubble. Despite the Blackhawks' success, the face that best defines this sports-crazed city isn't a toothless grin viewed through a plastic shield, and it doesn't have pursed lips from spitting sunflower hulls like Ozzie Guillen.

    The mug that best represents the 312 area code often wears a signature smirk.

    Jay Cutler strolled across a mock red carpet while boarding his ''Vegas Night Charity Cruise'' to benefit children with diabetes on Thursday night. It was a rare celebrity moment for the quarterback who remains Chicago's most visible athlete despite maintaining a low profile after throwing a league-leading 26 interceptions last season.

    LeBron James and Dwyane Wade would've instantly knocked Brian Urlacher off his lofty throne if they had decided to join the Bulls in free agency. Instead, the prized free agents chose South Beach over Oak Street Beach, leaving the title of Chicago's biggest sports celebrity to the quarterback who admits he hasn't earned the title."
