I was listening to Dan Patrick this morning when he introduced the news that Manny Ramirez would be banned 50 games for testing positive for drugs. Arguably the best hitter in baseball tested positive for what is possibly a performance enhancing drug and Patrick announced the news...

What we’ve learned about our Chicago Bulls. 1. Vinny From Black is still an average coach. He’s the case study example for the saying “Players win games, coaches lose them”. Del Negro's coaching acumen won’t win us games, but there’s a chance that it will lose us some...
NBA, Where Amazing Flagrant Fouls Happen

I don't quite understand the logic of "well it's the playoffs" when it comes to flagrant fouls. Either something is a flagrant foul or it isn't. Just because it's the playoffs doesn't mean blows to the head should now become legal. But that's the NBA...

A lot of NFL Draft, some Bulls, and one Pulp Fiction.1. You’re a team with credibility issues and a vast history of retaining players with “off-the-field” problems. In fact, the stripes on your uniform make the perfect analogy to the stripes on prison inmate’s uniforms. Current...

What’s it like to watch the Bulls get beaten like a high school nerd after accidentally bumping into the school bully? Well, I imagine it’s like getting stabbed in heart with a dull plastic knife. The Bulls managed to allow an old, mentally abused (still getting over the fact that...

Ordinarily, I would want to write about the Bears' upcoming draft; who they should take, their needs, etc. But, we now have Jay Cutler, so who cares. Here's a nice glimpse of our franchise QB. (never thought I would ever say that).

If you have a timeout, you don't have to complete a baseline in-bound pass. A little bit about what bugs me about the NBA, thoughts on the Bulls and Celtics, and what angers me about Vinny Del Negro.1. Why is it that when an NBA team calls a timeout after a made basket, the ball...

WE could sure use this guy on the left.Something turns on in the playoffs, maybe it's a switch or some internal time clock that goes off. Teams that normally play good defense start playing great defense. The run and gun teams get trapped in a half-court game. The game becomes...
