Theo Finally Speaks
After weeks of speculation, tweets, rumors & ass-bags like Peter Gammons' snide comments, Theo Epstein finally spoke and gave his thoughts on the future of the Cubs. Tuesday was a massive day for the Cubs and hearing Theo Epstein talk about what he plans on doing with this franchise makes it impossible to not act like a kid at Christmas. [...]
White Mamba Doin Work
Who misses Brian Scalabrine? I knew I wasn't alone on that. Look at Tom Thibodeau's favorite player/coach light it up vs Avellino in a recent game overseas. Sure, you'll notice the ease at which the White Mamba strokes 3's, but how about how perfect the screens are that he sets? You can't teach fundamentals like this. It's no secret, Scal [...]
Sammi’s 2011 NFL MVP
Coming up to the halfway point of the season, NFL football fans can begin to speculate as to who the MVP is. You’re probably thinking Aaron Rodgers? Drew Brees? Tom Brady? But how about this guy for MVP… Peyton Manning. Take a look at the Colts record from the last two seasons. Last year they were 10-6 and in 2009 they were [...]
MJ’s Love The Game Commercial
Leave it to MJ & the Jordan Brand to come up with the best commercial during this NBA lockout. It's been announced that the league will cancel two more weeks of games, and the Christmas Day games figure to be next as the two sides can't even agree on when to talk again. This whole thing is beyond ludicrous, and it does nothing but piss me [...]
Suck For Luck Update 1.0
Now that we are 7 weeks into the NFL season, it's the perfect time to assess where we are in the 2nd most important race of this 2011 season. Yes, the Super Bowl is obviously number 1, but a compelling race is taking shape to lose the right to select the best quarterback prospect to come into the league since Peyton Manning in '98. Unless you [...]
Theo At Wrigley
Theo Epstein is in the Chi, and has already begun what will be an arduous process of rebuilding the Cubs organization. He will officially be introduced at a Tuesday morning press conference that will be the largest ever held at Wrigley Field. Epstein dined at Vines with members of the Cubs front office (those who still have their respective [...]
Go Away, Torre
New York Daily News--- In the wake of the revelations that Red Sox players were drinking beer in the clubhouse during games during their September collapse, Major League Baseball is looking into the idea of banning alcohol from all big-league clubhouses. Joe Torre, the league's executive vice president for baseball operations, said there [...]
Martz Has To Be Fired
The biggest story of the Bears trip to London is that they came back with a win. It was an ugly 2nd half performance, but they did what they had to do in what was a wild card elimination game. At 4-3, they head to the bye week in playoff contention, but a change needs to be made, and it needs to be made now. Mike Martz has to go. Fire [...]
Big Ups To Ricketts
As easy (and warranted) as it's been to rip into Tom Ricketts' ownership tenure of the Cubs, he deserves the utmost praise on a day like today. The owner who seemingly couldn't get out of his own way for the past two years, has delivered a trifecta to the Cubs that nobody could have ever imagined a month ago. Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer, & [...]
Week 7 NFL Picks
This is the latest that I ever have ever written an NFL picks post since I started this site in November of '09 (has it really been that long? (Christ, I'm getting old) There is a great explanation for the delay, it's because picking this week's game has been an arduous process. I have spent hours looking at this week's slate of games to help [...]
