Just when you think things can’t get any worse for Eddy Curry, the mother of one of his children gets murdered. Even after everything that has gone on with him, my sympathies go out to him.
The Bulls suck.
Joe Torre’s new tell-all book about the Yankees is very interesting. Some highlights include ripping on [...]

Well say goodbye to football for the next 7 months or so (besides the Super Bowl next week). There’s a ton of great college basketball this weekend though, and who doesn’t love the NHL All-Star game? Well, I’ve never seen it, but who ELSE doesn’t love it? *Must see games.
Saturday:
11:00 a.m. – [...]

Well, besides tennis, there seem to be a lot of crazy things going on at the Australian Open this year. We’ll show you in video form…
First, a ballboy gets hit in the face. This isn’t too exciting, but fun to watch nonetheless.

Next, a fight breaks out and chairs are thrown all over [...]

Earlier this week BetUS.com asked us to do a podcast about Illinois basketball, the road to March Madness, and college hoops in general. StevieY19 was brave enough to accept the challenge. We are very excited to present:
Steve from Not Qualified to Comment talking college hoops on BetUS.com!
Based on his college football picks, I wouldn’t exactly [...]

In the last 24 hours news has come out that the Tribune Company accepted the bid of the Ricketts family. This sale could have far-reaching consequences for the Cubs, but what seems most interesting is the differences between a public owner, like the Tribune, and a private owner, like Ricketts.
In Chicago, we have had mostly [...]

Illinois coach Bruce Weber said Thursday that Jeff Jordan was on scholarship for the second semester. This is great news and a testament to the work Jordan has put in for the Illini.
I’m sure being the son of Michael Jordan isn’t an easy task to begin with, and turning down scholarship offers from various [...]

Apparently John Paxson has given a “State of The Bulls” address recently. He is pretty spot on regarding most of the things he talks about. Here are the highlights (Sorry about how long this is):
John Paxson was matter-of-fact and candid in delivering a midseason state-of-the-Bulls address Wednesday at the Berto Center, admitting the [...]

Vinny asked the media to ask his players if they respect him, minutes later Ben Gordon was seen cussing him out for getting fined because he broke some team rule. (***Update: The rule he broke was being late for a team flight). How long do we have to deal with this yahoo?
The Chicago Bears [...]

Self-Explanatory and awesome:

Jay McGwire’s intention to write a book revealing the “McGwire family secret” was big news yesterday. The story led Sports Center and amazingly contained a credit to Deadspin, the original source.
I’m not an expert, so I don’t know if Deadspin, or any other blog has been credited on ESPN’s flagship program before. [...]

The Blackhawks had lost just one of their first 43 games at the United Center this year in regulation. Two games later, that total is up to three with a 4-1 loss to Minnesota Monday and a 2-0 loss to St. Louis last night.
The Hawks enter the all-star break having lost three of four [...]

In honor of Larry Hughes and his terrible contract, I decided to write about the worst sports contracts that currently exist in Chicago. I didn’t include any Bears contracts since none of the money is guaranteed, so the team can cut a bad contract pretty much anytime. God willing Hughes and all these [...]

Northwestern stuns Michigan State in East Lansing. Kevin Coble had 31 points, helping end MSU’s 28 game home winning streak.
The winner of the million bucks at the Blackhawks game is revealed; says there was a lot of cursing when he won. Is it still “cursing” if done in a positive way?
Harden [...]

With most NBA teams reaching the 41-game point, we are hitting the half-way mark of the NBA Season. And what better way to celebrate surviving this long than an NBA Power Rankings post. With some help from Dr. Internet himself I present to you these rankings in a Bill Simmons-esqe tiered division format:
The as Bad [...]

You may have noticed a new link at the top right of our blog for the Slow Breaker Network. I’ll let you see for yourself what it’s all about when you venture over there, but to put it as simply as I can, it is a bit of a hybrid between some blog networks [...]
