You know what? I’ve kinda got a feeling the Bears are going to win on Sunday night. Sort of like the Black Eyed Peas. Or the Beatles.
A few reasons:
I really can’t imagine Jay Cutler throwing a bazillion picks again. No way it happens, right?
The Eagles having a banged...

I haven’t watched an episode of “American Chopper” since college a few years back. (Wasn’t it awesome when you slept till noon everyday and watched pointless TV all afternoon because you had nothing better to do besides drink and do it all over again the next...

Something I didn’t realize until yesterday: the Bears are playing a Sunday night game against the Eagles this weekend. As we all know, in the Bears’ three night games so far this season, Jay Cutler has throw 11 interceptions. This is bad. Very bad.
And it’s been an...

What, you think our quarterback is just going to throw it facing the line of scrimmage every time? THINK AGAIN:
Rumor has it that later in this game, Bethel’s running back took a handoff and ran backwards through the line of scrimmage. It didn’t work out as well as this play.
Philly’s Banged Up Secondary = Cutler’s Chance To Break Free?

The Eagles come flying into town this weekend to take on the Bears at Solider Field. They will be without Brian Westbrook, because he is eternally concussed.
But the Eagles’ secondary is also a bit beat up as well, and that might be just what Jay Cutler and his receivers need...

So, there was talk of the Sox getting Chone Figgins this offseason, or at least making a play for him. He’d fill in the gap at leadoff, and likely play an outfield position. But last week, Kenny Williams has hinted the Sox are bumping up against their budget for 2010, so Figgins...
Fancy That: Cubs Not Pursuing Mark DeRosa

If there is one thing I know about some Cubs fans, it is that they love Mark DeRosa. Love him. Love him. Love him. I suppose because he played a lot of positions, hit pretty well in his two seasons on the North Side and had some True Ballplayer in his bones, Cubs fans gravitated [...]

Hey, so you know how people like to complain about rich, young people getting treated too well and coddled and such, before they earn their keep?
WELL GUESS WHAT? This doesn’t always happen. Take the case of Manchester United’s Gabriel Obertan. You see, Obertan —...

Hey y’all, take a peek at this:
No, this is not the side of a NASCAR race car, it’s the floor of a basketball court. Specifically the Scottrade Center in St. Louis for the Hall of Fame Showcase, a two-game set last evening in which Arkansas and Louisville matched up, followed...

Did you happen to catch the Miami-Kentucky game last night? The debut of Jesus on the basketball court, Mr. John Wall?
Well, if you did, you would have seen a tremendous performance by the Redhawks. They went into Rupp Arena to face the No. 4 team in the country and played fantastic...

So, MLB’s Rookie of the Year awards were given out today, and Gordon Beckham finished fifth in the American League voting, behind Andrew Bailey, Elvis Andrus, Rick Porcello and Jeff Niemann.
Bailey seems to be a bit of an upset win, but he did put up some ridiculous numbers this...
Bill Belichick Actually Went With Odds On Fourth-Down Try
4 days ago by
Mouthpiece Blog

There’s been a lot of chatter this morning about whether or not Bill Belichick is an idiot for deciding to go for it on fourth-and-2 from the Pats’ own 28-yard line with 2:08 to go when his team was up six. On the surface, this does seem a bit silly: if you don’t make it [...]

Since the start of the NFL season, my end-of-the-week scribing is usually a quick Bears preview, which tells you nothing of real importance about the game. (It’s usually just me complaining about the offensive line.) But this weekend, we have no Bears.
This is a good thing.

So, after taking out the Heat last night in Miami — Dwayne Wade’s silly dunk aside – in front of Michael Jordan who was in the stands, LeBron James declared he will be dropping No. 23 in favor of No. 6 out of respect to Jordan, and he’s urging other to to...

It’s not so much the style of the dunk here. It’s that somehow, Dwyane Wade manages to toss Anderson Varejao all the way to the foot of the basket. How he did that, I have no idea. But it’s ridiculously awesome.
Cheers, Ball Don’t Lie.

Notes on a 10-6 loss to the 49ers …
Worst. Football. Game. Ever.
OK, well maybe not. There have surely been worse games. Right? I dunno. In the heat of it all last night, all I could think about was what a horrible performance I was witnessing. The penalties were downright awful...

There’s been a lot of talk about head injuries this year in the NFL. Part of this is due to brain studies of retired players, which didn’t have the best results. Even Congress got involved!

Things I I think I know: With instant replay, if a call is to be overturned, there has to be conclusive evidence that the call made was wrong. In the above scenario, that would mean this: the refs had to, without a shadow of a doubt, see that the ball was still in Brad Miller’s [...]

Milton Bradley is still a Cub. It would be funny if he remained a Cub through the remainder of his contract and he just sat in right field when it was their turn to take the field and picked grass. But alas, there will likely not be any sitting in right field; the Cubs are [...]
