Think I fixed it… not really sure. If I did, I’ll attempt to rehash what happened over the weekend. Suffice to say, that phishing scams are not very cool. Neither is sitting on the ball with 52 seconds left on the road in a tie game with a Rose Bowl berth hanging...

Well, that was quick. I went into the second half of the season with a open mind. Really, I did. I had the thought that the Bears are 0-0 and how they play against the 49rs will give us a clue on how they will perform ini the second half of the season. Well I [...]

Ever since we’ve been old enough to operate the magic box known as a television set, we’ve had cable. We never just had the network channels because we were not old enough to have lived during that time. However, when there were was just CBS, NBC and ABC, football coverage...

You know what the World Series of Poker needs? What every other sport absolutely can’t stand, that’s what. Most other professional sports (for the record, poker is NOT officially a sport) strive for parity so that all of their teams/players have a chance at winning...

Well it was fun while it lasted. It’s pretty unlikely you’ll see the Hawkeyes before the jump in this college football poll the rest of the year. Even if they go into Columbus this weekend and beat the Buckeyes. Ricky Stanzi is likely out until the bowl game along...

Really? Did the GMs, owners and front office MLB people WATCH the MLB Playoffs this season? Or better yet, did they see the 4,860 game sample that was the regular season that had some easily fixed botched calls? Apparently, they didn’t or they’re just stubborn and...
Question: 95% of My NBA Coverage is LeBron. Nescessary?

Ok…rhetorical question. We think it’s completely unnecessary. Nearly nine out of ten times that we hear something on the radio, read it in print or see it on TV regarding the NBA, it’s in regards to LeBron James. You know, there are OTHER players in the NBA...
AL Gold Gloves: Plenty to Complain About

Gold Gloves have to be the most discussed and debated awards that MLB gives out. There’s only so many stats that can be looked at (or will be looked at) by those who vote on the award. We’ve discussed our qualms with the BBWAA on this site before… we don’...

Yeah… so you’ve probably noticed that we’ve slowed out programming around these parts. Much apologies for that. NickJ across the pond in Europe, Lefty has seemingly disappeared as far as writing goes and mrejr is doing his moneyline picks. We have a few real...

No, we’re not eating crow today. We never said we’d beat anyone, even Northwestern. So, all we can say as good Iowa fans is, “Good game.” Congrats on winning today. We won’t make excuses for the refs or Stanzi getting hurt which may be a typical...

This one made us laugh a little bit when it came through our e-mail box. We were Nocioni fans when he played here in Chicago. He was like a poor man homeless man’s Manu Ginobili. Gritty player that agitated opponents and occasionally was guilty of dirty fouls. He playedÂ...

Yeah, we’re not going to write a whole lot about this because it’s essentially just re-posting something written in a newspaper. We’ll just stop and say that Joe Girardi’s ring should be bigger than everyone else. What a stand up move by a guy that just...

Sorry we’re so late on this post. It took us a while to get around to the blog this week. Lots of stuff going on. We were just happy to even watch the World Series last night. No, Oregon will not be making the top five in this poll. They also won’t be passing the [...]

Does the National League even have a team that is close to the Phillies for 2010? Obviously we haven’t even hit the Hot Stove yet, but barring any catastrophic injuries, the Phillies are the class of the NL for 2010. They have all of their key players locked up through next...

Goodness. Champions for the 27th time. It makes us here in Chicago just shake our heads with envy at that number of World Series titles. This Yankee team was special though. Unlike the 2002-2008 teams that were a hodge-podge of bloated contracts similar to what Daniel Snyder...

We saw today that Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics got a 5 year, $55M extension from the team. Good for Rondo. He’s been ripped by Boston fans and coaches alike, but the kid is a pretty decent point guard. Not quite up there with the CP3, Deron Williams and still Steve...

Ravens 30 – Broncos 7: Nice work, Orton. That less than 25 yard completion crap had to catch up at some point. A 4.1 YPC rate is bound to lose a game. Orton didn’t throw a pick. Didn’t throw a TD either. In fact, he didn’t throw the ball farther than...

Yankees 7 – Phillies 4: For the Yankees, that is. After Pedro Feliz shifted all of the momentum into the Phillies corner with a homer off of Joba Chamberlain, Brad Lidge couldn’t hold it. Lidge was one pitch away from sending the Phillies to the bottom half of the ninth...
