Last night’s Bulls game was up and down. I went to the game with my girlfriend and throughout the first half she kept asking me “Why do you seem mad? The Bulls are winning or at least keeping it close?” I was mad because nobody played any defense. Well that changed in the second half. [...]

Bulls pull away in the fourth to beat the Bucks. Rose solid, Gordon streaky, Skiles mad. Hillenmeyer has surgery on his thumb, but could be back for the Detroit game. Why bother? The Fridge is battling illness. When I was three, I wanted to name my sister The Refrigerator. True story. Winter Classic tickets are [...]

We will be running a new feature on NQTC starting today. I’m not exactly sure how often I will run this, but basically I stole the idea from Ball Don’t Lie‘s “Create-a-Caption”. What happens is I will post a random picture I select, and you guys (the readers) create a funny caption for the photo. [...]

Yeah, yeah, he says a lot of dumb stuff. Often. However, this time Roy Williams came through with something truly hilarious. And by hilarious I’m talking about the way Jim Rome says it; emphasize that hilariousness Jimmy! Anyway, Roy gets an A+ for his Halloween costume. Williams came dressed as former Lions running back Tatum [...]

Illinois Fighting Illini. Saturday, it was more than the name of a football team, it was an apt description of what was taking place on the field. With all due credit to Wisconsin, especially Sherer and Gilreath, Illinois beat itself Saturday. Juice Williams tossed three interceptions, the Illini committed bad penalties, and made mental errors [...]

In case you haven’t heard, the Bucks play the Bulls tonight for the season opener. What makes this interesting are a few sub-plots that may create some good drama. The obvious storyline being Scott Skiles coming back to coach against his old team. Another story developing, however, is a rivalry between the players. During Friday’s [...]

Tonight is the season opener for the Bulls. Vinny seems to have decided that Ben Gordon will not start. The likely projected starting lineup tonight is: PG: RoseSG: SefoloshaSF: DengPF: ThomasC: Gooden Thabo? The guy looked awful all preseason. He can’t shoot or dribble. The only thing right now that he has going for him [...]

Northwestern running back Tyrell Sutton is out for the season. Big loss for the Wildcats, but Sutton could possibly return for a bowl game. Rick Sutcliffe could take Brenly’s spot if he takes the job as Brewers manager. Blackhawks lose 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild. Would have been cooler if it was the North Stars. [...]

BYU has denied Jim McMahon entry into its hall of fame and refused to retire his number for over 25 years. He set numerous records and essentially elevated the BYU football program to national prominence. I love the punky QB as much as the next guy, but I’m not going to get my panties in [...]

Which one of these men are Bulls Coach Vinny Del Negro? Can’t tell? Neither can I. I’ve also heard suggestions he is a Christian Bale lookalike as well. Personally, I couldn’t tell the difference between VDN and John Cusack when I was at the Bulls game Friday night. The point is that perhaps all the [...]

Before the season, no one knew who the starting quarterback for Penn State would be. When Anthony Morelli, one of the worst multi-season starters ever, graduated, most knew the job would fall to either Daryll Clark or Pat Devlin. But hardly anyone knew what to expect from either player. Clark won the job early in [...]

More ripping on Larry Hughes by Tremendous Upside Potential. Give the guy a break already…just kidding, screw him. A Cubs fan tells a story about being in Vegas and seeing Pete Rose and Mike Maddux. Pete Rose says some funny stuff. A funny list of search terms that led people to Luol’s Dong. My favorite? [...]

Since there is no game this week, I’ve decided to post a list of random Bears facts. I found most of these on the Chicago Bears Official Website. Enjoy: Chicago led the league in starting field position last year with their average starting field position at their own 33.7 yard line. Although Hester has not [...]

StevieY19 went an unprecedented 0-5 in his Big Ten football predictions this week. Wow. I don’t think he could have done that throwing darts at a random board to make his picks. He hasn’t been this bad in the past, but he hasn’t exactly been “accurate” this year. What are this self-anointed expert’s qualifications? Let’s [...]

I have no idea why I’m posting these, just a couple old school movies to watch. This first one is a filthy highlight mix of 90s MJ stuff: This one is the Super Bowl Shuffle. Always a classic: **UPDATE: Matt R. insists that we add a Pistol Pete montage. Not sure why, but the video [...]
