The JV vs The Varsity
Well that was fun wasn't it? It appeared for a little while on Sunday that the Bears may actually make a game of it against the rival Vikings in the roller dome. That lasted all of about 15 minutes before the superior Vikings made the Bears look like just what they are, a Junior Varsity squad. Did the Bears really have 2 yards of total offense in [...]
The Roar Is Back
There is finally a must see sports team in Chicago. No, not the bumbling Bears or the happy to be mediocre Bulls. Neither one of those two putrid teams can hold a candle to the United Center's other tenant, The Chicago Blackhawks. The roar is back in Chicago. The Hawks put themselves back on the map last year with a remarkable run to the NHL's [...]
Week 12 NFL Picks
It's week 12 of the NFL season and I still cannot figure out who is good in this damn league. I went 8-8 with my picks last week, and I'm back for more punishment. Anyone who knows me knows I hate parity. I absolutely loathe the awful display of football so many teams in this league put forth each week. I have decided that only 4 teams have [...]
From Bad To Worse
For a while on Sunday I thought they would win. I figured this is what the Bears do. Just when you think they are out of it, they reel you back in, and win a game they shouldn't. Those were my thoughts as I watched 6 straight hours of afternoon football. Maybe the chaos known as the NFL Redzone channel threw me off, but I was confident that Bears [...]
Golden No More
It seems like ten years ago, but really it was only September 5th. My phone was blowing up with texts telling me that "they're back" and "everybody better take a look". Notre Dame was in the midst of beating up Nevada 35-0 in their first game of the '09 season. You would have thought they had just beaten Tim Teblows and Florida in the BCS [...]
Kirk Shoots and Misses……..Again.
He has somehow gotten worse. A former member of team USA, Kirk Hinrich is a key member of the Chicago Bulls. He is the 6th man on an average team that desperately needs him to play well. So fan this season though, Kirk has been awful. He is shooting 36% from the field, 68% from the free throw stripe, and an Eddie Robinson like 31% from the 3 point [...]
Week 11 NFL Picks
It was the rivalry of the mid to late 90's. Mirror images of each other on both sides of the football. They ran the same offense, similar defenses, playmakers on both sides, and most of all had two Hall of Fame quarterbacks leading them. San Francisco vs Green Bay. All in all from the first playoff game in '95 to The Catch II in '99 they met 5 [...]
Bears Run and Hide.
Well, I didn't see this coming(doing that in the most sarcastic writing voice ever). The Bears, in advance of Sunday nights game with the Philadelphia Eagles at the spaceship have decided to not make Lovie Smith, Jerry Angelo, and Jay "Cuttles" Cutler not available to meet with NBC's Bob Costas. This may not seem like a big deal, and maybe it's [...]
Cuttles The Clown
I was probably in the minority of most when Jay Cutler became a Bear. Its not that I wasn't excited for the Bears, but the overall giddiness from Meatball Nation(Bears fans) was so over the top I couldn't believe it. Did they not see this guy shrink in Denver's final 3 games last season? Did they not see the state of the Bears offensive line? Did [...]
Week 10 NFL Picks
When I decided to put this site together the thing I absolutely had to have was a forum for the readers to have their say. No matter who, if anybody reads this I felt it was important to hear feedback from everyone. There is no better article I will write where I want, and need readers' opinions than NFL picks. If you look at my awful 5-8 [...]
