Movie notes: Ebert remembers Siskel - Weekender 24/7	Weekender 24/7
A three-paragraph note in the Feb. 12, 1999 Weekender caught my eye as I was compiling “This Date in Weekender History” the week before last:	Siskel sidelined
 One area where Ebert treads lightly is Siskel’s devotion to the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls. I remember a two-page panoramic Sports Illustrated photo in the mid-’90s that showed Jordan flying to the hoop during a playoff game or something as the home crowd watches in awe. There on the front row, was Siskel.	At the time, this really bothered Ebert, whose dedication to the movies is unswerving. Someone asked him about Siskel’s Bulls fixation, and Ebert replied (I’m paraphrasing), “I’m happy that Gene has found something he loves as much as I love movies.” But he also gave Siskel credit for making himself into a student of the game.
