Things I Missed About The NBA
They're baaaaaack. Finally, NBA teams can start talking to agents about potential deals for players this morning. Unfortunately, deals cannot become official until the league re-opens for business on December 9th. So until then, what is there to do to pass the amount of time I think about the association? Yes, coming up with fake trades that [...]
Bears Still In A Good Spot
Do you remember what I wrote last week about Caleb Hanie just not being awful for the Bears to remain in playoff contention? Well, Hanie was every bit the risk taking bum that went undrafted in the Bears 25-20 loss to the Raiders. Hanie (18-36, 254 yards, 2TD's & 3 killer INT's) talked a big game during the week, and it made you think [...]
Boozer’s On Notice
The only negative about the end of the NBA lockout is the depressing realization that the Bulls will not be using the amnesty clause on stiff, Carlos Boozer. It was inevitable because the thought of paying a free agent disaster $60 million over 4 years to play for another team made Jerry Reinsdorf go into convulsions. This is an issue that [...]
Bulls Options At The 2
Waking up Saturday morning to the news that the NBA was coming back was a nice little early Christmas present. After reading what the new CBA will look like, I immediately began to wonder..."what 2 guard could the Bulls sign or trade for by the time the season starts, or by the trade deadline?" The new CBA will give a higher payroll [...]
Week 12 NFL Picks
As is always the case, Thanksgiving lived up to it's reputation as my favorite holiday. I was able to spend the day with family & friends and indulge my inner fat kid with all of the turkey day grub. It was a win all around. That being said, I have issues with some of the events that took place in two of the NFL games. We'll get to the [...]
NFL Thanksgiving Picks
One of the great parts of Thanksgiving is that it's still easy to feel like a kid no matter how old you're getting. For me, it's not just a day off from work, but a chance to enjoy some of the things that I love the most in this insane world we live in. One, is obviously family. For as long as I can remember, my mom has had her side of the [...]
MJ’s Fighting A Losing Battle
I've tried to hold firm on a promise I made to myself when the NBA lockout started. I wanted to avoid writing about the pissing match between greedy owners & ill led players as much as possible ,because giving them attention for acting like the imbeciles they are only irritates this NBA die hard. Think about this--news broke Wednesday [...]
Hanie Brings Back Bad Memories
Do you remember when they would always show the graphic during Bears-Packers games of all of the quarterbacks that started for the charter franchise of the NFL during Brett Favre's tenure? It was nauseating, right? We couldn't get through a Bear-Packer game without seeing the list of dog shit signal callers that somehow were earning a [...]
Why Now?
During Jay Cutler's forgettable 2009 season, it was easy to ridicule and bust the balls of the guy who led the NFL with 26 interceptions. Cutler's attitude towards the media & some teammates that season made him an easy target for people (including the guy you're reading right now....And I was wrong). He was the most polarizing player in [...]
Bears Win Is All About Jay
For those of you who are still refusing to give Jay Cutler his due as a top 10 quarterback, I advise you to get your hands on the game tape of the Bears 31-20 win over cry baby Phil Rivers & the free falling Chargers. Yes, that Phil Rivers who used to talk shit to Cutler when his Chargers were getting the best of Cutler's undermanned [...]
