We all know Michael Jordan as the polished, classy gentleman we see today, but what was he like before all the fame and accolades…Let’s find out!

Thanks to Docksquad for this link. Vinny got a little present for Derrick Rose. Let’s just say if he had it a little sooner, he may not have cut himself up:

I found this video in K.C. Johnson’s Mailbag. I’m not sure why there is a dancing Mexican doll with guns on a checkerboard, but it’s still pretty funny:

Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently Spider-Man is doing a special comic featuring Barack Obama and his evil twin. The Chicagoist has more on the story:
Now we’ve seen everything. In honor of Barack Obama’s inauguration, Marvel Comics is publishing an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man in which Spider-Man helps prevent an evil plot [...]

Sam Smith is right, Bulls fans are angry. He’s somewhat of an apologist for them though.
Oh yeah, and Larry Hughes wants out. Finally he agrees with me on something.
Chicago native Curtis Granderson accepts an invitation to play in the World Baseball Classic.
Great National Championship. Florida wins. Hats off to Tebow, that [...]

I couldn’t decide what kind of post to put together for the big game tonight, so what follows are some random thoughts on the title bout (think Mike Tyson’s Punch Out).

I finally decided that I am cheering for Oklahoma in this game. I’ve always liked Florida for no good reason, but when it comes [...]

What would you do for a Big Mac? Well if you are a giant white man with bad knees I guess you would play some sort of crazy game of Horse against Michael Jordan for it. Commercials used to be so f#$%ing awesome:

So, the fact that Candace Parker and Shelden Williams are expecting a child got me thinking a little. I’ve heard it said that Shelden looks a little like an alien at times, and with the freakish size and athletic ability, perhaps a good idea of their offspring would be….or as Gavin thinks, maybe Marshawn Lynch?
Wow, [...]

As long as he’s not serving me kamikaze shots at Hi-Tops (a la Kyle Farnsworth), I’ll be happy. It goes without saying he would pitch better than Farnsy, that’s for damn sure.

According to Home Run Derby, Ron Santo hasn’t been inducted into the Hall of Fame yet for one reason and one reason only: His teeth. Well that’s all about to change. Enjoy this odd video of Ron getting a makeover on his gross chompers:

If that doesn’t put him in the Hall, I [...]

The Bears have already offered Marinelli, now they want his son-in-law who was on the Lions staff too? No way.
Bill James slams the BCS’s use of the computers. Well, now we know they’re bogus.
Ottawa’s Jarko Ruutu gets a two game suspension for biting. See, the NHL is awesome!
Someone left Rickey [...]

Make it 12 out of 14 for the Hawks as they mopped the…ice…with Phoenix last night. The Coyotes have been playing some good hockey lately, so this was a good win.
Adam Burish started the scoring for the Hawks a little more than midway through the first period. It was his first goal since [...]

When it comes to sports, there seem to be few things that Stormin’ Norman and myself agree upon. Even when we do agree, one of us will usually make it seem as though we disagree, hoping to piss the other off. Hence, a new feature on NQTC called Point Counterpoint. We’ll try [...]

The Bulls finally win one! It came down to the wire, but they pulled it out. If the last week has shown anything, it’s that Drew Gooden is very important to this team.
Antoine Walker gets busted for driving drunk. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Top Ten odds on what Milton [...]

The idea, which I’m sure has been thrown around by fans already, comes from Sun-Times writer Carol Slezak. The point? Why not bring in Mike Vick if Angelo is looking for quarterback help to push Kyle Orton? To a point, I get it, but I thought that myself and other Lions fans were the only [...]
