Amare to Bulls Is Starting To Look Like a Real Possibility

10 February, 2009 (14:00) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

This is going to drive StevieY19 crazy, since he believes that the Suns would be crazy to do any deal for what he terms “a pile of Bulls garbage”, but according to www.rumorpress.net (not the most reliable, but they have been right about a lot of things in the past):
As we all know, the Bulls [...]

Today’s Links

Busted Coverage has the 20 best signs ever to appear on College Gameday. Plenty of good stuff there.
Upon further review of further review…maybe Lebron should get that triple-double at MSG after all.
Indiana’s Devan Dumes throws elbows to the junk, gets suspended indefinitely. Somehow Indiana manages to get worse.
Lil’ Wayne will be on [...]

What Do You Think Guitar Hero Was Thinking When They Hired A Rapist, A Steroid User, A Pothead, and A Skater To Promote Their Game?

9 February, 2009 (20:37) | Uncategorized | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

You are looking at the Dream Team of advertising. From left to right: a pothead, some guy in a helmet, a rapist, and a steroid-user. (Thanks to Jeff for pointing out this hilarious “coincidence”).

Frustrated With Team’s Defense, Del Negro Takes Matters Into Own Hands…Again

9 February, 2009 (20:27) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I propose a word called “Del Negro” to be used in basketball the same way that “Bush League” is used in baseball: To describe an amateur, unsportsmanlike play. Vinny did this once already against the Knicks earlier this year. Here he goes again with his patented “Scream Defense”. Maybe if he screamed [...]

Vegas Thinks The NL Central Is Pretty Shitty…Except The Cubs Of Course

9 February, 2009 (20:09) | Chicago Cubs | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Sportsbook.com has posted their odds for teams to win the 2009 MLB World Series (via Wrigleyville23). The Cubs are 7:1 to win the Series in 2009, second only to the Yankees who are at 5:2 (The A-Rod allegations may affect that, though who knows). Notably, however, is the rest of the NL Central’s [...]

Illini Shut Down Boilermakers

9 February, 2009 (16:00) | College Basketball, Illinois | By: StevieY19

In a dominating performance fitting from a top 25 team, Illinois used a stifling defense to run away with the game in the second half.
Mike Davis had a great game for Illinois with a double-double made up of 14 points and 16 rebounds. The game was sealed when Illinois went on a 23-6 run [...]

A Chicago Fan Can Only Dream…Peavy, Stoudemire, Boldin

9 February, 2009 (15:00) | Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Cubs | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

His Jesusness Shuttlesworthness comes out of blogging retirement to write this post about how Chicago Sports may be on the cusp of 3 championships. Seriously, I received this message from him as a precursor to the post: “I was just upset about some haters I heard last night that werent willing to do anything we [...]

The Illini don’t seem to have much trouble with the Boilermakers. Big win on Sunday to hopefully keep Illinois in the Top 25.
Briggs helped out in the NFC’s Pro Bowl victory. Unfortunately no one cares except the 5 guys at StevieY19’s 6th Annual Pro Bowl Blowout Bash.
Only 18 of 50 states have Major [...]

Patrick Kane Discovers Secret To Hockey Success (And Other Things He Found In His Nose)

8 February, 2009 (17:13) | Chicago Blackhawks | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I stumbled on this picture on facebook this morning. It appears Kane was taking in a Bulls game a few weeks ago. And yes, that is his finger way up his nose. He wasn’t picking it though, I’m sure he was just itching his brain.

If I knew anything about hockey I’m sure [...]

We Aren’t Ignoring The Amare-to-the-Bulls Rumors

7 February, 2009 (17:19) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I am just trying not to get caught up in it until I hear something substantive. Like a confirmed source saying that Paxson and Kerr have been talking. Until then, don’t forget Garnett, Pau, Kobe, Marion, Wade, and the countless others we were in trade talks for. Or just go play with [...]

If You Hook A-Rod Up With Steroids, He Will Probably Hit On Your Wife (And Other Things Canseco Wasn’t Lying About)

7 February, 2009 (16:59) | Uncategorized | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

It’s old news that Canseco claimed when he hung out with A-Rod back in the day, Rodriguez asked him to hook up a steroid supplier. According to Canseco, even after he helped his good buddy Alex get steroids, A-Rod still hit on Jose’s wife and called her all the time.
Well it turns out the [...]

Your Weekend Viewing Guide

7 February, 2009 (16:00) | College Basketball, NBA, NFL, NHL, TV, What to Watch | By: StevieY19

Everyone knows that the second week in February is the mecca of sports viewing, what with the Pro Bowl and a golf tournament, or something. Seriously though, there is some great college basketball this weekend and if South Florida’s win over Marquette tells us anything, it’s that anything can happen. Here’s what to [...]

NBA League Officials Get Bored, Review Every Play of LeBron’s Triple-Double

6 February, 2009 (23:26) | Uncategorized | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Remember the other day when Kobe dropped 61 at the Garden and set the record and everyone was like “That was f#$%ing awesome?” And then a few nights later LeBron came to New York and was like “I don’t care about that, I just want to win,” but everyone knew that was bullshit. [...]

Oh Canada!

6 February, 2009 (19:40) | Chicago Blackhawks | By: StevieY19

The Blackhawks are loving our neighbors to the North right now. After a 5-2 win against the Flames last night, the Hawks have a chance to sweep the Canadian portion of the road trip with a game at Vancouver tomorrow.

As much as the Hawks are liking Canada, they like being on the road just [...]
