Vinny’s Last Stand
I can see light at the end of the tunnel. We are almost there, Bulls fans. The biggest coaching abomination in the history of the franchise has one, or possibly, two more games to go. Vinny Del NoMind is like Nicky Santoro at the end of Casino.....Dead man walking. As someone who has lived and died with the Bulls my entire life, it has been an [...]
The Worst Contracts In Sports
With so much going on in the sports world this week, how could I possibly find time to write about the worst contracts in sports? Well, despite the Bulls and Blackhawks in the playoffs, the NFL draft, the Big Ben saga, the release of the NFL schedule (who cares), and new episodes of Basketball Wives, I've decided this is the time to make this [...]
NBA 1st Round Preview
The real season is set to begin in "The Association", and not not a minute too soon. The 2009-2010 NBA season was exciting, but not overwhelming with drama. Most fans have been looking ahead to July 1 at 12:01 for the real drama to unfold. The ho-hum regular season has finally ended and so have the seasons of the NBA's D-IV division. With such a [...]
Blackhawks 1st Round Preview
After a franchise record 52 wins, the real season begins Friday night for The Chicago Blackhawks. The 2010 NHL Playoffs begin with a matchup vs the 7th seed, Nashville Predators. Ever since the Hawks lost last season's Western Conference Finals to the hated Red Wings in 5 games, Hawks fans have waited almost a year to get to the real season. The [...]
Giving PIP His Props
A basketball formality happened this past week--no not Vinny Del Negro botching another end of game in-bounds play. Although, that did happen too. Scottie Pippen was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and will be inducted later this year. I hadn't realized Pip was retired for 5 years already when the announcement was made, but I [...]
2010 NFL Mock Draft
My favorite weekend of the sports year is upon us. Going back to high school, I have always loved the NFL Draft. I can't explain why, but long before it was the cool thing to do, I was watching the Bears pick John Thierry, Curtis Conway, Alonzo Spellman, the trade for Rick Mirer, Curtis Enis, David Terrell, and Marc Columbo. I was glued to the [...]
10 Year Old Phenom?! Stop It
So, this is what the world is coming to, huh? A 10-year-old phenom is on the front page of a major Chicago newspaper. I am old school to the core. I still get both the Sun-Times and Tribune every morning. I know many read the newspaper online, but I still love picking up the paper and seeing the news of the day. Although, when I picked up the Trib [...]
