NFL Breakout Players For 2010
I've officially reached my limit on bad Cubs baseball for the season and have, now, fully immersed myself into football season. You know the baseball season has sucked ass for you when you are counting down to the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio(August 8th on NBC in case you were wondering). Baseball season has been even worse than I imagined [...]
What Bears Fan Should Want In 2010
Late July-early August is the time that hope springs eternal for NFL fans, unless you root for the Raiders, of course. As the Bears gear up to open training camp, Mr. Chi City is here to tell you, the Bears fan, what you should want out of your team in 2010. Having failed in my attempt to have the Bear's 3 stooges(Lovie Smith, Jerry Angelo, [...]
1 Down…1 To Go
It shouldn't have come as news to Cubs fans at the Lou Piniella funeral the other day that new owner Tom Ricketts plans on keeping GM Jim Hendry and "president" Crane Kenney in their jobs past this season. Most fans, with a clue, would think that a new owner coming in would want to clean house and build the organization his way, with his [...]
The Don Has Spoken
When Michael Jordan talks, people listen. His voice is gospel in NBA circles, even to this day. When MJ told the likes of Tracy McGrady, Tim Duncan, Eddie Jones, and Grant Hill to stay away from the Jerry Krause- led Bulls in 2000, they listened and followed his word as if he was Paulie from Goodfellas. The man speaks and people care and take [...]
The Wait Continues
As a lifelong boxing fan, it pains me to see where the sport currently sits in the sports landscape. It has fallen quicker from people's minds than Rocky V fell out of Sylvester Stallone's fans conscience. The lack of a great American heavyweight is what has killed this sport to the casual fan. People may have hated Mike Tyson ,or didn't [...]
Ranking The Bulls Off-Season Moves
The summer of 2010 may not have ended up the way Bulls fans would have hoped, but there is no arguing the fact the team improved itself in a major way. No, they didn't come away with the two big fish (MeBron or the spy-Dwyane Wade), but with the additions of Carlos Boozer, Ronnie Brewer, and Kyle Kutcher, err I mean Korver, the Bulls have [...]
The nWo Of The NBA
When you grow up rooting for the greatest dynasty in the history of the NFL (80's-90's 49ers), I know what it's like to have the team that everyone wants to beat. I had to hear it from everyone who watched the NFL. I thrived on it because, at the end of the day, my team was winning games and SuperBowls. Now that Miami Heat head slime ball, Pat [...]
It’s Almost Over
After following the NBA's free agent madness the past couple of weeks, it's time to focus on my abysmal baseball team. I've had no motivation to watch the Cubs so far this season until now. Why? Because ,there is nothing else to watch sports-wise until NFL training camps open at the end of this month. So, for the next two weeks, it's time for [...]
From Quitness To Sellout
After taking some time to calm down from The LeBacle, I finally feel like I'm ready for an unbiased view on the biggest con man (LeCon if you will) in sports. Okay, maybe not. This train wreck career decision made by the Queen Diva confuses anyone with a love for basketball and the NBA. We all thought MeBron James wanted it all. He's the [...]
D Day For The King
After two plus years of trades, salary cap managing, season tanking, and bowing to The King himself, LeBron James is finally ready to make a decision. Or, is he? The silliness of NBA free agency is mercifully nearing it's end, and I couldn't be happier. The past week of rumors and "people with knowledge of the situation" has been enough to [...]
