When I woke up yesterday, I didn’t even really think about the fact that all 4 Chicago teams were playing that day.  I mean I knew I was going to watch the Bulls game and I was really excited about going to the Blackhawks game, but I just didn’t put it all together.  Here is [...]

Earlier this week I posted a picture of Cutler out drinking with his buddy Greg Olsen.  I requested some funny captions from readers and we got more than 25.  There were a few really funny ones that deserve to be posted.  Here’s the picture:

I have long held that Chicago sports fans are some of the most passionate and intelligent fans in the country.  I still stand by that and last night helped to prove my thoughts.  Here is how the crowd reacted to the different personalities that turned out to support the Hawks at last night’s playoff contest:
Sports [...]

Personally I have not had any experience with Cubs fans being racist, but according to the Sun-Times, there is a history of racism from the North Side faithful:
Wrigley seems like the last place an African-American player with such a well-traveled reputation for confrontations would choose to sign a multiyear contract. In the last five seasons [...]

This year’s playoffs promo was done by Kanye West.  It’s pretty good:

But it’s nothing compared to this famous promo from a couple years ago, which is by far my favorite:

But none beat the original NBA on NBC theme. It gives me chills just hearing it. Memories of Jordan and Pippen and the glory [...]

What an unbelievable start to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the Blackhawks in their return to the postseason.  After a slow start the Hawks got it together in the second period and ended up beating the Flames in overtime to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
After the slow start, the Hawks managed to tie [...]

It’s Hawks and Flames tonight at 7:30 CT on CSN and I thought the best way to prepare would be to show an embarrassing video of Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf being made a fool of.  Pretty sure it’s from a couple of years ago, but it’s still funny.

The Bulls playoff schedule has been released.  Here are the games:

Game 2 – Mon April 20 Chicago at Boston 6:00PM TNT
Game 3 – Thu April 23 Boston at Chicago 7:00PM TNT

Okay, so one night of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is already in the books, but I’m making my playoff picks today anyway.  Zoner posted his picks yesterday, so I figured I’d give it a shot.  As much as I have come to enjoy watching the Hawks play the last few years, I just can’t pick [...]

Well there goes some of that great momentum the Bulls were riding going into the playoffs.  With the Bulls loss last night and the 76ers big OT win against Cleveland (which fielded a D-League team, *cough* bullshit *cough*), the Bulls have secured the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference.  Instead of facing the Magic, they [...]

So I finally checked out ESPN’s new Chicago centered site (site? blog? page?  whatever it’s called) expecting to be shocked, appalled and generally saddened about life the way I am with anything new ESPN does outside of their Sportscenter commercials.  Really though, I’m not sure how much this affects us Chicago folk and if anything, [...]

Jason Marquis led the Rockies to a win over the Cubs yesterday, that’s embarrassing.  Also, the Sox were blown out by the Tigers.  [Sun-Times: Cubs, Sox]
The Big Ten announced some start times for this year’s football games.  The Illini have a couple of night games scheduled and will have a 2:40 start against Missouri to [...]

For the first time in a long time, the Blackhawks will be playing hockey past mid-April.  We’ll have plenty of coverage throughout the series, but here are some bullet thoughts to get you prepared. 

The two teams couldn’t be entering the series on much different streaks.  The Blackhawks had looked like they were heading for a [...]

The NFL released the opponents teams would be facing this coming season a while ago, but the official schedule just came out yesterday.  As we already knew, the three teams in the NFC North that play the 0-16 Lions twice are considered to have the easiest schedule next year.  The Bears schedule otherwise looks to [...]
