In honor of Halloween, I’m going to post pictures of the scariest looking Chicago Athletes I can think of. This is current and all-time. If you guys can think of any other better ones link me to the picture and I’ll include it. Cue scary music.

The saga of Drew Gooden’s hair has been well-documented here on NQTC. I bet $20 on him to beat DeShawn Stevenson in that stupid beard bet and I lost. Anyways, the Drew Gooden saga continues, this time we find out he used to have a very very sad nickname before he shaved the whole top [...]

I tried this with the Cubs and it turned out pretty funny, so lets see how it goes with the Bears. Urban Dictionary is a great website. It is basically like wikipedia in that it is user generated, but the difference is it is for slang or “urban” words. Anyways, I decided to see how [...]

Mike Singletary, the new head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, has had a memorable start to his career. To recap his short stint: He sent Vernon Davis to the showers in the middle of a game, gave a fiery post-game speech, and delivered a memorable post-game press conference. Well the fun is just beginning [...]

As always, the Thursday Dick Joke Jamboroo will make you laugh. Don’t let that crazy Nazi Shark get you. Some quick notes on the Tampa 2 (Cover 2) defense run by the Bears AND the Lions. The Sox sign career minor-leaguer Jayson Nix. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but the die-hard White [...]

Sports coverage has changed significantly in our lifetime. A lot of it has been good, but there are some things that have gone horribly wrong. Every week I’ll be taking a little time to whine about one of these things with no hope whatsoever that anything will change. I’m admittedly no expert when it comes [...]

Too many tens. All the Big Ten games will be done by around 6 PM this week. No games in prime time, because there aren’t any games worthy of prime time. We’ll give the game of the week nod to Wisconsin at Michigan State. The Spartans have fallen to self-inflicted late season doom every year [...]

BENCH QB Brett Favre (Jets) – Matt Millen’s new best friend has been flat out awful the past three weeks, throwing a combined seven interceptions (and only three TD passes) against the Bengals, Raiders, and Chiefs in weeks 6, 7, and 8. After struggling against some of the NFL’s worst pass defenses, Favre and the [...]

The Big Moron (aka Shaq) was up to his usual tricks this preseason, mostly spouting off at the mouth like an idiot. He was bitching about Gregg Popovich utilizing the Hack-a-Shaq strategy in the Suns-Spurs playoff series last year by threatening Pop: When you’re down, I can see using that as a strategy. But when [...]

Phillies win the World Series. Took ‘em long enough. Boooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Hugging Harold Reynolds needs a hug more than ever. The tale of an exiled Cubs fan. Hey, we haven’t heard from John Daly in a while. No, wait! Top Ten Chicago Sports has the list of Chicago athletes that would kick ass in the UFC. [...]

This video is an interview with pornstar Kylie Ireland about a night in 1993 when MJ was in Denver playing the Nuggets. Not only did he sleep with this woman, but he got a little “assist” from his wingman, John Paxson. My favorite things about the video:1) Apparently she got permission from her then-husband to [...]

I have to be honest, I haven’t followed this business with Isiah and an alleged overdose closely. It started on Friday with reports that someone had been taken in an ambulance from Isiah’s home with an apparent overdose. Was it Isiah? Was it his daughter? Was it Rick Mahorn? Who knows. However, one thing is [...]

This Bears-Lions Preview was written by NQTC reader Ethan. Thanks go out to Ethan for allowing me to be lazy and not write this. You know how teams have “bulletin board material” to psyche them up before games? Well, I wonder if this week, Lovie can put “1-15” on the board to instill fear in [...]

Sorry to all you White Sox fans that bought Griffey gear this season, and to all of you that were so excited to have him around. According to an SI.com report, the White Sox will not try to re-sign the 38-year-old outfielder. Griffey’s run with the Sox lasted 41 games. The move was pretty much [...]

1) Penn State- I don’t see this one changing now that the Nittany Lions get a rest this week before going to Iowa and getting Indiana and MSU at home. Then again, I’m wrong a lot. 2) Ohio State- It has to feel bad for the Buckeyes to lose to PSU after all those guys [...]
