As much of a bust as Farnsworth was, boy could that guy fight.  MLB removed the video of this from Youtube and I have been looking for it for years.  Fortunately for us, some random Japanese site has posted it.  Here it is for your enjoyment:

Unfortunately the video cuts off before Wilson emerges from the [...]

Every baseball fan has a different moment when the steroid controversy really hit home for them.  That moment where they went from assuming the best of their heroes to suspecting everyone of wrongdoing.  For most fans it was probably around the turn of the century, when allegations of steroid use surrounding Barry Bonds expanded the [...]

Red Kerr got screwed out of extending his Iron Man streak back in the day under very strange circumstances. [NBC Chicago]
Cubs-Sox is coming up the next few days, but boy have the Cubbies been god-awful at the plate lately.  [Zoner]
Brandon Marshall wants out of Denver and the Bears need a wide receiver.  Why not Cutler’s [...]

Chicago stands above the rest once again.  Enjoy watching this douchebag being, well, a douchebag.

When the mom yells “In your face!” I don’t think she was playing around. She seems really pissed. Hilarious.

And thanks to StevieY19 for the tip.

If you have been watching any television at all lately then you have seen those goofy LeBron-Kobe puppet commercials.  For the most part they are funny and elicit a snicker out of me (the first 50 times at least).  Obviously the NBA and Nike both had their hopes set on a LeBron-Kobe Finals and these [...]

Rex Grossman did not stay unemployed long.  After much speculation that he was trying out for USFL teams and that no NFL teams were showing any interest, it appears he has signed a 1-year deal with the Houston Texans.  They signed him to the minimum amount for a 7-year veteran, which is $620,000 on the [...]

It looks like Derrick Rose may be in some trouble again.  Fresh off the heels of his recent SAT controversy, a new photo has surfaced depicting Derrick Rose making a gang sign.  Here it is:

This doesn’t reflect too well on the kid, but on the other hand, he’s just a kid and he was just [...]

I have been saying this for years and most people have finally come around on it: a walk is as valuable as a single in the lion’s share of situations.  In terms of pitchers, I think most would agree with that, based on sportswriters and journalists talking about how walks kill pitchers.  But how come [...]

A few days ago I had a conversation with NQTC reader Black Rob.  I sent him a link to a story about the Raptors trading Jason Kapono to the 76ers for Reggie Evans, a power forward.  I remarked “Does that qualify as news” after I sent the link.  He laughed because we both knew that [...]

Ok let me paint a picture for you.  Stay with me here because things might get a little confusing.  A major league baseball team has one of the hottest bats in the minors and a shitty, shitty hitting utility man on the big league squad.  That team’s starting third basemen goes down with an injury [...]

Could Mark DeRosa be coming back to the Cubs?  Maybe.  Don’t get too excited yet, its a pretty unreliable source. [Sons of Ivy] via [Bleacher Nation]
So if Quentin actually has the talent to be legit, but spends the rest of his career on the DL, can I call him a fluke/bust?  Or will Sox fans [...]

Dime magazine has done a feature on a very intriguing 8-year old basketball phenom named Jordan Montgomery.  The fact that he is in 2nd grade is slightly disturbing, but the kid has skills.  Oh and if you are wondering why he is so short in this video, its because he is 5 and 6 years [...]

Since we are a little busy around here this summer, we will hopefully be having some guest writers.  I received this submission from NQTC reader Gavin mocking the Bulls management strategy and Vinny Del Negro, so of course I loved it.  Please treat guest writers as you always treat StevieY and myself: Courteously and Respectfully [...]

So I don’t get it; Does Jerome James salary count against the Bulls cap or not? [Blogabull]
Scott Boras may be evil, but the real bad guys are Baseball ownership, who have somehow managed to make ridiculous profits while at the same time been able to make players seem selfish for trying to get paid 1/100th [...]
