Joakim Noah is interviewed and let’s just say he thinks his life is like Entourage.  Great. [DC Sports Bog]
Has the big man died in basketball?  (Not literally of course). [ChiCity Sports Fanion]
The Bulls took care of business without D-Rose last night.  Closing in on that 7 seed… [ESPN]
Does anyone want to win that spot in [...]

After one weekend of the NCAA Tournament, things are pretty close in NQTC’s Tournament Challenge group.  We have spent plenty of time this year, between football and basketball, making fun of Indiana University, so fittingly the leader after four days is Disgruntled IU Fan.  He sits in the 99.79th percentile overall right now and had [...]

After losing five straight games and seven of the last eight, the Blackhawks got a win on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Kings.  The highlight of the 4-1 win was the return of Patrick Sharp, who scored two goals and should give the Blackhawks a much needed lift offensively.
However, the Hawks have been jockeying [...]

There were 48 basketball games this weekend and a quick count gives me 11 wins by the teams with the worse seeds.  A year after the first time that four 1-seeds went to the Final Four, we have experience the first opening weekend in which all 1 through 3-seeds advanced to the Sweet 16.  The [...]

Remember that show Cribs?  Where MTV would show the ridiculous things that millionaire athletes and celebrities bought with there money?  I always wondered what Chicago athletes did with theirs.  Like for instance, did Kerry Wood keep his own shoulder specialist in a guest house?  Or maybe Scottie Pippen actually owned a giant scud missile to [...]

The Cubs beat the A’s 20-5 yesterday in spring training.  Paul Bako had four hits and three RBIs even though he entered the game in the sixth inning.  Clutch! [Sun-Times]
This is always fun.  The Wonderlic scores got leaked again this year, so we get to know who is smart and who won the Vince Young [...]

The Cubs trounced the White Sox this weekend in a meaningless spring training game.  Most sane and rational human beings probably wouldn’t mind all that much, its just spring training, right?  Well Ozzie disagrees with your sane assessment of the situation, and here was his completely reasonable reaction:

White Sox fans: here is another opportunity for [...]

The Bulls have the easiest schedule the rest of the season compared to the other teams in the hunt for the 8th seed.  The Tribune broke it down for us:
8th: Bulls – 12 games left; 8 home, 4 road; 2 vs. teams .500 or better
9th (1 game out of 8th): Bobcats – 12 games left; 4 [...]

Mike Fontenot is going to be making a cameo in the TBS sitcom “My Boys”.  I’m not sure exactly why they cast Fontenot for the part, but he seems pretty excited about it:
Mike Fontenot will be a special guest on an upcoming episode of “My Boys,” the TBS sitcom about a female sportswriter who covers [...]

There is no one place to link discussing all the madness of College Basketball this weekend, but it was nuts and awesome as usual. [Anywhere]
Did you know Ron Turner runs a West Coast Offense?  Let’s just say his version is a “slight” variation on Walsh’s original exciting concept. [WCG]
The Lakers beat the Bulls in an [...]

We all heard Barack Obama make his picks on ESPN, but in case you missed it, here’s the video.  Well former President Clinton weighed in on his picks the other day as well, though not in the detail that Barack did. Here’s what Bill thinks:
Clinton, college basketball fan, and Carville, political strategist, went through the [...]

Yesterday was another great day in college basketball.  Two overtime games and a ton of upsets.  Once again here are my brief observations of every game:
Louisville 74 Morehead State 54: I never thought this game was in doubt, although Morehead State kept it interesting well into the second half.  The full-court press by the Cardinals [...]

I feel like my head is going to explode from all the college basketball goodness (except for that stupid goddamn Illini game).  Although there was only one big upset (did I mention that Illini game?), the games were exciting and fun.  Here’s a quick line about each game:
Memphis 81 CS-Northridge 70: Memphis almost blew this [...]

The Illini lost.  Bad.  The final score didn’t tell the story about how bad they looked. [ESPN]
Some interesting statistics about certain Bulls players that you might not have known. [Pippen Ain't Easy]
Lou Piniella names Marshall the 5th starter.  No surprise there. [Tribune]
Does TrueHoop suck?  Well whether you think so or not, Henry Abbott is addressing [...]

Other than the fact that we know Western Kentucky has a sweet mascot, we really don’t know much else.  We also know they won a couple games in the Big Dance last year and bring back a hand-full of those players.  But what are they about this year and how do they stack up against [...]
