Avoiding The Awkwardness
We've all been there. No matter what the setting, you've at some point been caught in the direct sight line of someone that makes you wish you were in the middle of a root canal. It's impossible to avoid unless you're a complete hermit who only leaves the house to buy booze, weed, smokes and/or food. The awkwardness of seeing people you either [...]
D Rose Can’t Complain
The day after Derrick Rose hit a season opening game winning runner vs the Lakers on Christmas Day, I wrote about how the youngest MVP in league history had everything he wanted http://chicitysportsfan.com/wp/2011/12/rose-has-what-he-wants/ on his team. He was the unquestioned lead dog on his hometown team that went 10 years without a [...]
The Invisible Pretty Boy
Sitting 13 rows from the glass for a playoff hockey game is an unbelievable experience. When you're that close to the action, you can feel the electricity, as much as you could feel Raffi Torres' hit on Marion Hossa. NHL playoff hockey has to be viewed live to completely appreciate how great of a game this is. HD TV's (as good as they are) [...]
Don’t Blame Torres
Go ahead and blame Coyotes neanderthal Raffi Torres for his malicious and callous hit on Blackhawks forward Marion Hossa. By all means, have at it. Yes, Torres is the same ass-bag that took out Brent Seabrook a year to the day in last year's playoffs, but I won't blame that walking piece of feces. I am, instead, focusing my anger, disgust [...]
Rahm Emanuel Gets It
While the shortsighted baseball fools that masquerade as Cubs fans are tweeting @paul_maholm piss poor pitching performances, a far more important development is underway for sports' most tortured franchise. Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel is pushing a "Fenway Plan" that would allow the Cubs to bring in as much as $150 million in advertising and [...]
The Hawks Might Kill Me
If the Blackhawks hadn't tied their best of 7 series with the Coyotes on Saturday night, I'd be busting Mike Smith's balls for collapsing to the ice Dwyane Wade style when Andrew Shaw skated into him. Smith acted as if someone shot him from the 200 level, and played up the injury like a true pussy does. Nice acting, Smith. I'd almost feel [...]
The Individual Duo
Ah, that video is great to re-watch, isn't it? I particularly love the part where LeBron James goes... "The way we're going to challenge each other to get better in practice, when the games start... I mean, it's going to be easy." Easy. That is the word that sticks in my dome to this day about that championship parade sham. James, [...]
Well Done, Urlacher
What else is there to do in the off-season besides golf, gamble & rehab a knee injury? If you're Brian Urlacher, tappin/ Jenny McCarthy apparently sits atop the list. Kudos, Brian. Kudos. TMZ reported the two were spotted leaving Mastro's in Beverly Hills Tuesday night. I don't care if McCarthy isn't at the top of her game, she's [...]
All About Money & Power
Whoever said that money & power can't buy happiness & piece of mind obviously never had it. Whether you're drunk on love or revel in the fact that you're in the perfect job, the possibility of more money & power trumps everything. Seeing Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg pay $1 billion for Instagram isn't shocking, yet it proves [...]
Throwback Artist Of The Week
Can I kick it? If you ever say those words, there's a great chance someone will immediately appreciate your taste in music because you like A Tribe Called Quest. Or, you can always go with... Microphone check 1-2 what is this? When I sat down to again watch Michael Rapaport's directorial debut film "Beats Rhymes and Life," I knew instantly [...]
