Exciting Fiesta Bowl last night. Well, the end was exciting…and these shots.
Pat Burrell signs with Tampa Bay. That means he doesn’t get to beat the Cubs in Wrigley anymore right?
Jerry Angelo wants someone to push Kyle Orton in camp next fall. Why not Kurt Warner? 1. His wife. 2. Well, [...]

After all of the rumors, the Cubs signed outfielder Milton Bradley -Insert board game joke here- to a 3-year $30 million contract today.

So, here’s another guy with great potential, who has been hampered by injuries in recent years. Last year was one of Bradley’s best, making an all-star appearance with a .321 average and [...]

The demise of the Big Ten in bowl games is nothing new. This year the conference has put up a record of 1-5, with only heavy underdog Ohio State left to play Texas tonight. Some stats in the Trib sum it up pretty well.

The Big Ten’s drought has reached nearly biblical proportions. Or so it [...]

It was a great opportunity for the up and coming Blackhawks organization. After a nine game winning streak, the Hawks were within four points of the mighty Red Wings and had a chance to earn a tie atop the division with a sweep. In the end, it was the Wings who did the [...]

Wow. Take a breath 2008 was an unpredictable year for the average sports fan. Starting with the New York Giants Super Bowl win over the undefeated Patriots in what will go [...]

He’s a rookie, right? I mean a real rookie, not like Derrick Rose is a rookie. Derrick Rose has an advantage over VDN: He has actually played basketball before. Vinny has not coached ever at any level. He is a rookie of rookies.
If we remember back to the summer, the Bulls [...]

Check out the site Franchise Trees. They are pretty cool.
Well that Rose Bowl kind of sucked. Penn State got hammered. Joe-Pa hasn’t lost like this since the Great Depression.
If you want the Cubs to get Milton Bradley, maybe you better take a look at this.
