Memorial Day Weekend Hit List
Before I head out of town for the holiday weekend with G-Unit, My sis, and JJ, I wanted to get some things off my chest. To know me is to know I'm fairly opinionated, and with a lot going on I needed to vent a little bit. When I know I'm not going to be around my laptop or iPhone for a few days, I get anxious. It's like taking away my two [...]
Only In The NBA
After the first few games of the NBA conference finals, it looked like we could be headed for 2 sweeps giving NBA haters a reason to preach how the college game is better. Thankfully, the Suns and Magic have realized they are 1 round away from playing for the championship. The Suns looked small, scared and intimidated vs the Lakers through games [...]

Quick, what were you doing in June of '92? If you were like me, you were rocking Z Cavaricci jeans thinking about Kelly Kapowski. (I would have owned Bayside High, but that's a different discussion) Besides wearing those hideous jeans, trying to look cool, I was in sports heaven. That spring, the Bulls and Blackhawks both made their sports [...]
The Cubs Clown Car
In my ongoing attempt to get Cubs general manager Jim Hendry fired, or to disappear like a rat in The Sopranos, I thought this was the perfect time to put another nail in the soon to be fired GM's enormous coffin. It's not completely out of spite, but the latest "Cubby occurrence" has given me no choice. The Cubs dynamic duo (Hendry and Lou [...]
2010 NBA Draft Lottery Running Blog
For reasons beyond comprehension, the NBA draft lottery remains one of my favorite events of the sports year. Much like the NFL draft itself, the draft lottery represents hope for the unwatchable NBA teams to the teams stuck in NBA hell desperately trying to get out. Hope springs eternal for all 14 of the lottery bound teams because each [...]
On To The Next One
To quote Jay-Z, it's on to the next one for the Blackhawks. After disposing of the Vancouver Crybabies 5-1, they are on their way to San Jose to face the number 1 seeded Sharks. This Hawks team boggles my mind. They looked lost, bored, and hungover in Game 5. I made up the hungover part, but after those pictures in the limo.......Oh, never [...]
2nd Round NBA Story lines
Even though the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs are still going on, there are so many story lines that the playoffs have turned into a 90's episode of Monday Night Raw. With a vacation- like break before the Conference Finals start, why not review some of the top stories and players through the 1st two rounds of the NBA's post season. I'm doing [...]
Blackhawks vs Canucks Game 5 Running Blog
With a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Vancouver Crybaby's... err Canucks, the Blackhawks are back at the United Center with a chance to close out their Western Conference Semi-finals series. With the Hawks in such a prime position, I decided to do a running diary for Game 5. Having been to Game 5 of the Nashville Predators series, it's hard [...]
Mayweather-Mosley Preview
The anticipation of a big money fight still gets me going. It's not like it used to be when Mike Tyson was in his prime, but I still love big fights. There haven't been many in the last several years, but Saturday night in Las Vegas we will be treated to quite a show, if not a great fight. It will be a great show because "Money" Mayweather is [...]
