Behind Silva's Mojo

"After working with a sports psychologist in Seattle last summer, Silva said his mind was now clear," the New York Times reports.

"Silva tries not to dwell on his lost seasons in Seattle, and offers no explanation other than, perhaps, the pressure to justify his contract. There is no such anxiety in Chicago, where fans who soured on Bradley have greeted him warmly.

"'I think Chicago has some of the greatest fans,' Silva said. 'They've got so much passion for the game.'"
