All Cris Collinsworth wanted to talk about during last night’s game was how whiny Cutler is and how he upsets teammates and has a bad temper.  I’m not sure what his source is for that, since most of the country outside Denver thinks what happened there was some combination of McDaniels and Cutler’s fault.  Collinsworth [...]

It’s only been 3 preseason games, but the last preseason game is usually garbage so I think its safe to say that we have seen about all we will see from our Bears starters this preseason.  Here is a position-by-position look at what we have seen so far.

According to HoopsWorld, the Bulls are pursuing Carlos Arroyo and have basically signed a 1-year deal with him that would bring him over to the Bulls from Maccabi Tel-Aviv:
According to multiple sources, former NBA point guard Carlos Arroyo is on the verge of returning to the league after a very successful stint overseas. Since leaving [...]

Bitternutz, an avid NQTC reader and commenter, sent me this little rant about his beloved White Sox today.  I’m reposting it here for any Sox fans who wish to read it (or any Cubs fans who enjoy sharing the misery of the 2009 season with our south side brethren).  Enjoy!

Using some fancy metrics I don’t understand, along with tallying up the raw number of games that Dvoracek missed since he was drafted, Football Outsiders has calculated that Dusty Dvoracek is statistically the most injured player of the decade:
What if Dvoracek misses the entire 2009 season, though? Will he be the most injured player of the [...]

Listen guys, I know you all hate Milton Bradley.  Even I have piled on from time to time.  The thing is, I believe there is enough blame to share for the whole team: Jim Hendry, the bullpen, Lou, injuries, Lee’s slow start, Soto’s sophomore slump, etc.  As a fan, you are entitled to be upset [...]

Whoa.  It appears the white flag has been officially waved.  Heilman and Harden were placed on waivers and have been claimed.  According to FoxSports.com:
Right-handed starter Rich Harden and right-handed reliever Aaron Heilman have been claimed on waivers, according to major-league sources.
A National League team was awarded the claim on Heilman, one source said. The claiming [...]

Yeah that headline reads right.  I stumbled across Mariotti’s two cents on the Cubs sale on the web this morning (I just can’t make myself directly read Mariotti’s garbage anymore).  Apparently, Mariotti thinks that the fact that Ricketts’ daughter is a lesbian is some huge twist in the sale of the Cubs.  Here’s the excerpt [...]

Steve Stone talks about his Playgirl spread in the 1980s.  Yeah, Playgirl. [WBEZ]
Predictions about Jay Cutler’s upcoming seasons from a bunch of Chicago bloggers (including me).  Check it out. [Jay Cutler Superstar]
Looks like I’m not the only one who lost faith in Chicago baseball this week.  A depressed White Sox fan talks about no longer [...]

Hi, my name is Stormin Norman and I’m a Cubsaholic.  I have been sober for 9 days.  I know its not a long time, but every day I battle with my demons.  I feel an urge to turn on the Cubs game, just catch a quick inning or check the score maybe.  But then I [...]

Normally I don’t support or link to Cardinals blogs, but this expose on the east coast media bias was too good to pass up..  I have been saying it for years, and even though this isn’t the hugest example, it is a pretty concrete and obvious one.

Dear Todd,
Thank you for contacting [...]

There’s not a whole lot to say right here.  The recent news about Beasley checking into rehab doesn’t really change my feelings that Rose was the correct choice, but it definitely reinforces it.  I mean praising Gar PaxDorf for selecting Rose seems foolish, since it was such an obvious pick.  At the time of the [...]

All true NBA fans in the last ten years will love to argue this list “The Ten Best Teams Not To Win A Championship in the Last 10 Years”. [BDL]
A little chart about how to correctly argue about college football.  I’m pretty sure I’ve heard every single one of these lines from StevieY about Michigan [...]

This chart comes from Free Darko and it appears to lack any scientific or mathematical research to back it up, but it still feels right and is interesting and hilarious at the same time:

The X-axis denotes function of the crossover while the Y-axis denotes perceived importance.  I haven’t seen Jennings play too much, but based [...]

Here are some highlights from the Bears game last night.  Jay Cutler looked pretty good.  And hell, if the Chicago sports media can turn on him so quick last week after his average preseason performance, why can’t I jump all over his balls after after this stellar one?
