Larry Hughes hits a jumper at the buzzer to give the Bulls a win over the Jazz. Yep, Larry Hughes. Is the NHL gaining in the popularity contest against the NBA? Stormin’ Norman hopes not; I don’t see what has taken so long. So being a gigantic sports nerd, I actually stated that I wanted [...]

We seemed to find out a little more each week about the Big Ten. Minnesota and Northwestern confused everyone with great starts, Wisconsin baffled onlookers with a dominant non-conference trio of wins, then tanked in conference play, and Penn State just wouldn’t stop losing for most of the year. As the year went on, we [...]

The Bears game this week was a gigantic relief. The Bears looked great on offense, defense and even special teams. We have to be careful not to get crazy, though. This was the Rams, and they do suck really bad. Hopefully this game boosted our confidence somewhat, but beating up on arguably the worst team [...]

I know it was the Rams, but it feels real good to get a W. Bears smash Rams. There’s a culture war on the Bulls–is there identity offensive or defensive? How does one make a funny commercial? Take Wade, Barkley and Yao and put them in it. “Eat the head!“. Looks like the price of [...]

Four Blackhawk games have come and gone since we last talked about them. That’s too long, but I’ll be better for you. I have to be better. Anyway, as usual I think we’ll skip over the embarrassing loss to the Blues. They played, they lost, fill in the blanks. Sunday night was no treat either, [...]

There’s no need to re-hash all the problems with the Bears defense this year, but suffice it to say they have flat out sucked. Well we weren’t the only ones to notice. Mike Brown had this to say this week: “Once we come to grips our defense isn’t what it’s supposed to be, then we’ll [...]

Over this past summer Eddie Vedder wrote a song about the Cubs called “All The Way”. I thought the song was pretty crappy and lame, though apparently some people liked it. Either way, there was some question over whether he was a true Cubs fan or not. There was also the feeling that Vedder’s song [...]

The Blackhawks aren’t having any trouble with their circus trip. They beat the Stars last night on the strength of a red-hot offense. It’s the weekly Dick Joke Jamboroo from Big Daddy Drew. Enjoy. Danieal Manning will be returning kicks instead of Hester this week. How much money did we pay Hester again? Did you [...]

I was MIA Monday and Tuesday, so I missed the boat a little on this McNabb story. Even though ESPN & Co. have dragged the thing through the streets to the point where they’re still blabbering about it today, I feel a little weird bringing this up so late. However, I think the story is [...]

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. Somehow when I think of the new [...]

This is it for the Big Ten. The long, at times boring, occasionally exciting, a couple times shocking season is drawing to a close. I’ll get unnecessarily nostalgic in the recap next week, but what will this last week hold for us? For one thing, we finally know what each of these teams is all [...]

Is Derrick Rose going to be a great player? Everyone knows that I think so, but Truehoop did a play-by-play analysis of Rose that was very insightful that seems to indicate that Rose will be great for years to come: Let’s take a look at Rose’s weaponry: The Triple Threat [1st, 11:15] On the Bulls’ [...]

I don’t know how coherent or objective this little Bears analysis will be, but I’m going to go to bullet points here in an effort to break up my giant furious anger into little mini irritated points. Here goes: I will do my best to start positive. Matt Forte had 64 yards on 16 carries. [...]

In honor of the Bulls circus trip out west and how bad it always goes, it made me think of what a circus the actual Bulls really are. In honor of that, here is what the Chicago Bulls would look like if they truly were a circus troop: Vinny Del Negro–The Ringmaster He’s kind of [...]

It’s Illinois at Northwestern Saturday. Lake the Posts gives Juice recipes while Paint the Town Orange talks…basketball? Glook informed me of this debacle by Arizona the other night. No wonder Lute wanted out. Well I wasn’t the only one disappointed the Sex Cannon didn’t start Sunday. God was on my side. Washington (0-10) and Washington [...]
