Emery Doing Work
So much for being pressed up against the $123 million salary cap, huh? Phil Emery, Cliff Stein and the Bears maneuvered themselves into position to sign two players in their 20's at positions of need on the first day of the NFL's overspending period. $20 million over 4 years for tight end Martellus Bennett, and $35.9 million with $17.7 [...]
NFL’s Worst Free-Agent Signings
It's that time of year again. The part of the NFL's off-season where teams with loads of cap space can't wait to overpay flawed players and make a push to claim the annual Redskins Award. You're familiar with this award, right? It's given every year to the team that wants to make headlines with a splashy move, sell false hope to it's fan base [...]
NFL Draft Big Board
Now that the Under Armour promotional event known as the NFL combine is over and pro days are underway, teams draft boards are being finalized for the most vital weekend of the league's off-season. The smart teams don't get swayed by a player's performance at the Combine or pro day, but it's all apart of the crap shoot process to try and [...]

I don't know about you, but I'm loving this sprint of an NHL season that has teams playing games like it's game 7 just to ensure not falling behind in the playoff race. There's a big game feel no matter what teams you're watching, and it's nice primer for when the real season starts. Go ahead and take a look at the standings to get a glimpse [...]
Louie’s Random Rant
I'm doing something different today. Instead of focusing on one topic to ramble on and on about, why not hit a number of issues that stuck with me in the past week? You know, kind of like what the Blackhawks have to do to get the lead on SportsCenter? Perhaps if they wore Lakers jerseys or turned LeBron's new shoes into hockey skates, the [...]
Keem’s Career Night
The most important story coming out of the Bulls win over the Sixers was Derrick Rose dunking off his injured knee, but that was overshadowed for a couple of hours by Joakim Noah morphing into Bill Russell. The other big story, of course, is the ticking time bomb that is Doug Collins' coaching reign in Philly. Hey Doug, can you please quit or [...]
A Hawks 20 Spot
Well, so much for the hockey "experts" saying that the Blues would be the team to end the magical run the Blackhawks are on. 12. seconds. That's all it took for the hottest team in sports to take the crowd out the game, break the spirit of a motivated St. Louis team and reaffirm their dominance. Once Johnny Toews scored right off the bat, you [...]
Top NFL Combine Performers
It happens every year. Once the NFL Combine's over, players who shine in the 40-yard dash shoot up the hype chart, while those struggle are suddenly viewed as a potential toxic pick and someone that teams need to redo their film work on. I don't put much stock into Combine warriors, but you can't discredit those that show up to Indy in [...]
Post Combine NFL Rundown
With the NFL Scouting Combine over and yours truly having seen enough guys in ugly Under Armour gear for three days, the focus shifts to the next phase of the off-season... Free agency. Well, that and guessing which players will end arrested for false accusations of rape, bringing a gun to a club, driving drunk or any other act that proves [...]
14-0-3 & Counting
This is getting ridiculous. The Blackhawks have now played 17 games and have an NHL leading 31 points. 31. This amazing streak to start the lockout shortened season has entered video game territory with no signs on slowing down. You almost don't know how to act when this team gets down by a goal like they did vs the Sharks, and that's a [...]
