Week 17 NFL Picks
The 2011 NFL season has not exactly been one to remember for the Chicago Bears. I know, I'm not breaking any earth shattering news here, but their struggles have allowed me to turn the page on this season with the quickness. Lovie Smith can say that this week's game with the Vikings as the 1st game of the 2012 season, but it's really the [...]
Guarding Against NBA Overreaction
As much as some might hate it, we live in an instant information age. The Twitterverse has changed everything in that regard. We want our information credible, and we want it 5 seconds ago. Last June's NBA Draft was the perfect stage to showcase how different of a time we are living in. When NBA TV shows old drafts, you feel like you're [...]
5 Days Too Many
Raise your hand if you hate the Taste of Chicago? Fantastic. I knew I wasn't alone in despising the cluster fuck nightmare that hits the greatest city in the world every summer. I just heard news that made my day. There are new dates for the event, and it will be cut in half. I know, it's such a shame that so many fat asses will be deprived of [...]
Twitter Needs Paulina Gretzky
The Twitterverse recently got a lot less funny, sexy & entertaining. 22 year old Paulina Gretzky shut down her popular Twitter account in November (only to start it back up again recently), probably because her old man, Wayne Gretzky told her to do so. Lame! She shut down the account after she was, "Having a nice sit down [...]
NBA Forever Ad
TNT's "Forever" NBA ad debuted Christmas Day, and I'm pretty sure I've watched it at least 394 times since then. I'm big on comparing the past and present when it comes to sports, so this commercial is right up my alley. This commercial hit home with both the die hard NBA fan, and the casual fan who doesn't follow the league as closely as [...]
I Told You Not To Watch
So, did you enjoy that? Was it worth wasting 3+ hours of your Christmas holiday that you'll never get back? Hey, don't get pissed off at me, I tried to tell you last week to not watch this train wreck. The Packers saw a wounded animal in front of them, and they put it down in a 35-21 clinic that wasn't nearly as close as the score might [...]
Rose Has What He Wants
Perhaps there's a reason that Derrick Rose isn't clamoring for his front office to trade for Dwight Howard. If The Bulls' 88-87 season opening win showed us anything, it's that Rose is perfectly content to with the guys he already has on the roster. Even if Bulls fans are desperate for another go-to scorer to help ease the burden on the [...]
Week 16 NFL Picks
I'm going to make this picks post short and sweet this week for a few reasons. One, it's Christmas weekend and I have yet to start my Christmas shopping. Before you start the standard & boring "you'll be late to your own funeral" jokes, just know that I always work better under pressure. I'm a procrastinator by nature, and can't fully [...]
One Goal Remains For D Rose
It's becoming virtually impossible to doubt anything that Derrick Rose says. After his hometown Bulls were given the gift of all fixed gifts by David Stern, they quickly snatched up the Chicago kid and made him the #1 overall pick in the '08 draft. Shortly after his return home, Rose said he wanted to make his mother and his city proud. Rose [...]
Don’t Watch Bears-Packers
Come on now, you don't really want to suffer through this Bears-Packers game on Christmas night, do you? I know, Josh McCown is taking over for the incompetent Caleb Hanie and all, but that does as much for me as current nude pictures of Christina Aguilera. Even if you are the most die hard Bears fan on the planet, you know this injury riddled [...]
