I wrote this special section 

• Whose team is this, anyway? | The Chicago Rush arena football team, through the eyes of co-owner—and Bears legend—Mike Ditka)
• Blood is the new pink | The Windy City Rollers, a Chicago roller derby team
• Pro lacrosse for two
• Run, pitch, hit and market | The Chicago Bandits softball team, featuring star Jennie Finch
• Turning pain into serious profit | I'd barely heard of mixed martial arts when I wrote this piece featuring Chicago's Andrei Arlovski.
