Brad Miller Politely Wishes Cavs Happy Hunting
That was an exciting game and the Bulls played decently in the series considering the competition they were up against. That being said, the officiating in Game 5 was horrendous. The sequence with Shaq drawing what seemed like 5 fouls on the Bulls big men in under 20 seconds was insane. Those weren’t close calls. They weren’t “it could go either way”...

Duncan Keith Has Had Enough Trash-Talking
You know what’s more annoying than an opposing fan who won’t shut up? An opposing fan who still won’t shut up when his team is losing. Duncan Keith took care of this idiot for us, but what about the rest of them?

Do You Believe?
Quick let’s celebrate, the Cubs are on a four game winning streak. I know it is ridiculous to be elated so early in the season, but the Cubs are back at .500 and within a series sweep of passing the St. Louis Cardinals. I, and Chicago, needs this as the Bulls are about to knocked out of the NBA Playoffs and the Bears were able to do little to help their team after trading away...

The Krispy Kreme Double Down
There’s a lot of great sports going on in this town right now. The Blackhawks advanced to the second round after finishing off the Predators last night, the Bulls have a crucial back-against-the-wall elimination game tonight with the Cavs, and the Cubs and Sox are both finally starting to play good baseball. That being said, ever since I saw this picture I have been unable...

Q & A with NBA legend Scottie Pippen
By Paul M. Banks Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net,
Possibly the greatest “second banana” in NBA history, Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, will enter the basketball Hall of Fame as part of a very special class this year.
2010 inductees include Jerry Buss, Cynthia Cooper, Bob Hurley, Sr., Karl Malone and two celebrated teams: the 1960 USA Men’s Olympic team...

Easiest $18 Million Carlos Zambrano Ever Made
This picture was taken of the Cubs bullpen in the 5th inning of yesterday’s 8-1 Cubs win over the Brewers. It’s still weird to have Big Z in the bullpen, and it’s going to be very hard to ignore. Cheer on Z.

Joakim Noah Enjoys Win on Victory Lap of UC
This whole video is pretty interesting, but in all honesty you only need to see the first 90 seconds. It consists of Noah walking through the stadium getting high-fives and congratulations after the big win Thursday night. It’s clips like this that make me love the kid even more. He’s so in the moment and soaking it all in, while at the same time bringing so much...

Arbitration In Baseball is Broken
Arbitration is a word that gets thrown around a lot in baseball. Every off-season you hear about some of your favorite players “going to arbitration” with their respective teams. But have you ever really thought about what that means? As far as I know, its a way for owners to disparage their players in closed door meetings without any repercussions for the purpose...

Bulls Win One, Can They Win Another?
Bulls Win!!! That game was unbelievable. While I have said all along I think the Bulls will lose in 5 or 6, once they took the court in Cleveland for game 1 it became apparent that they were going to need some divine intervention to even win 1 game. I don’t know if the game they played last night was divine intervention, but it was definitely some kind of miracle.
The...

Qualified Picks – 4/22/2010
Last week everybody picked the Sox to beat the Indians on Saturday, and everybody was wrong. We shall be taking a week off from predicting baseball games. Javier Sandooski has decided to grace us with his presence once again and take another shot at this sportsbook thing. Behind the scenes here I am pretty sure that some writers have no idea what is going on in the Hawks series...

Isn’t The Cubs Implosion Arriving a Bit Early This Year?
Things are bad for the Cubs. Real bad. The starting pitching though? Not really a problem. In fact, somehow, the Cubs have too many starters that are pitching well. Now the bullpen, that’s a different story. With Ted Lilly returning to the rotation on Saturday after looking especially sharp in his latest rehab start, most people expected Lou to send Gorzelanny or...

Marlon Byrd to Lead Off Against Lefties
So, Marlon Byrd is set to leadoff against lefties, at least for the next few games. His stats are pretty good. Byrd is hitting an incredible .667 (the same as his OBP) and his Slugging Percentage is a beautiful .917.
How does he fare against right handers? Well, his .146 batting average, .186 on base percentage, and .390 slugging percentage are dreadful. So who should start against...

Cleveland Does Kind of Suck
I’m sure you’ve heard by now about Joakim Noah’s disparaging remarks about Cleveland as a city. While some people may feel that he is just feeding the city and the team bulletin board material and should shut up, I think it’s pretty funny and I love his intensity for the game. He literally hates everything about his opponent, including the city they represent...

Are You Ready To Look At This Eyesore While Enjoying A Cubs Game?
It looks like that Toyota sign that is supposed to go up in left field might become a reality sooner rather than later. Personally I’m opposed to it since it sticks out like a sore thumb and ruins the ambiance of the field. The city agrees with me on some level and is trying to force the Cubs into making it less obtrusive if they want it to go up. Here are some pictures...

Terrelle Pryor on the spot now
By Paul M. Banks is Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net
Remember when Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor was being recruited? As far as high school players go, his hype was bigger than Jesus, Jimmy Clausen, and Tim Couch combined. (This analogy is contingent on Jesus’ having played college football, and I’m assuming that’s true because he’s a part of Notre Dame’s...

MSU could be nation’s top team next year
By Paul M. Banks Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net,
Michigan State entered this past season ranked #2 in the AP poll. They had their struggles in midseason, but played up to the hype when it counted in March. Without top player Kalin Lucas, the Spartans still finished just one HORRIBLE non-call away from playing in the national title game.
Butler star forward Gordon...

Cubs Fans Are A Delightful Treat For Man In Jim Edmonds Brewers Jersey
Maybe the f-bombs are a bit much, and the guy who gives him the finger right in his face definitely deserves to get punched, but in general what did this idiot expect?
His ****-eating grin really says it all. This man did not get up that morning and think, “I’m going to support my team by wearing a Jim Edmonds jersey.” He definitely was thinking something more...

Entire Chicago Cubs Roster Shows Up At Blackhawks Game
The Cubs showed up in full force to support the Blackhawks tonight for Game 1 of their playoff series with the Predators. No comment on what kind of luck they brought the Hawks, but you can judge for yourself by the 4-1 loss they took. Is that Kosuke hiding in the back?

Will Bulls-Cavs 2010 Be Bulls-Celtics 2009 Redux?
The NBA Playoffs start tomorrow and it looks like the Bulls earned the toughest draw they could by barely scraping in as the 8th seed. I truly believe the Bulls give the Cavs some matchup problems, but for the most part the Cavs should dominate the series. I am picking the Cavs in 6, but hey, anything can happen. As they say over at Thank You Isiah: “Bulls in six. Logic...

Liability Issues Surrounding Workplace Violence (Chicago Bulls Front Office Ineptitude Edition)
By now, we have all heard about the alleged incident between Vinny Del Negro and John Paxson. While the details are unclear, the consensus still seems to be that Paxson was the aggressor in this situation. The question now arises, will any lawsuits be brought on account of the incident? An interesting quote from the Chicago Tribune yesterday may shed some light on why we should...

Boston 3 Party awaiting postseason
By Paul M. Banks is Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net,
In Bill Simmons’ 700 word epic “the book of basketball,” he ranks three current Boston Celtics amongst the top 75 individual players of all-time: #63 Ray Allen, #54 Paul pierce and #22 Kevin Garnett. These three future hall of famers have 28 combined All-Star appearances in their NBA careers.
I was quite impressed...
