Blog Down, Chicago Bears found this great remake of a Billy Joel song ripping the Bears offense and Ron Turner.  The offense has frustrated us all season, except Jay Cutler of course, and this song does nothing to remedy that, but it is clever and funny.

Did I mention the Bears are -13 against [...]

Tom Ricketts’ held a press conference today on the heels of his purchase of the Chicago Cubs this week.  From what I’ve heard, he is a true fan and a really good guy.  I actually met someone that is relatively close with him on a personal level and he told me the family are die-hard [...]

Were you wondering all summer if you were going to see the plodding unfocused Joakim Noah this season or the high-energy, rebounding Noah we saw in the Celtics series?  Well based on last night’s 10 point, 10 rebound fantastic performance, it looks like we can put some of those doubts to rest.  But how to [...]

I’m not saying the Cavs should hit the panic button, but after the 0-2 start, it might be time to give Shaq a new nickname.  What do you think of  “The Big Shaqckle”?

The Blogpoll is out and Alabama remains #1. Looks like the first place votes are starting to spread out a bit though, with even Iowa and TCU picking up a couple.  Full poll with analysis at CBS Sports.

Cubs fans have a reputation for being racist.  We have heard it time and again from many different sources, although all of them have been African-American until now.  In recent years Dusty Baker, Latroy Hawkins, Jacque Jones, and now Milton Bradley claimed to have received racist hate mail and racist taunts in the field.  Although [...]

Finally, the Derrick Rose Dwight Schrute TNT commercial is out. The Howard and Arenas ones were funny, and this one is good too. It’s great to finally see a member of the Bulls back in a national ad campaign for something. It’s been a while.

Oh Buff.  Even I’m coming around on you this season.  Enjoy this commercial:

What would be the most appropriate costumes for the Bulls to wear for Halloween?  That is the question I tried to answer when writing this.  And I know, Noah looks exactly like Sideshow Bob, but that didn’t seem like the best costume for him in my opinion.  Here they are:
Derrick Rose as Jesus

Sacreligious? Maybe.  True? [...]

Yesterday I posted a series of questions about the Bears game after I was unable to watch it on Sunday.  While we can all agree I was spared from a horrifying afternoon, I was left wondering what the hell happened.  I asked all of you to send in your comments and observations and I am [...]

If the Bears were Simpsons, what would they be?  Ron Turner is definitely Seymour Skinner. [Jay Cutler Superstar]

Tyrus Thomas, a lightning rod of discussion and controversy for the Bulls, becomes a restricted free agent this offseason.  The Bulls have until October 31 to offer him an extension, otherwise they will have to match any offer another team gives him this coming summer to keep him.  The likelihood of him remaining a Bull [...]

Certain guys are just associated with each other based on coming out in the same draft.  Jordan-Bowie, Williams-Paul, and James-Melo are examples of this.  For Bulls fans, Beasley-Rose looks to be one of those types of associations.  As we noted here at NQTC a few months ago, Beasley has not been spectacular on the court [...]

So due to a family tragedy, I was unable to watch the Bears completely meltdown yesterday.  And I mean meltdown.  I’m hoping most of you turned the game off at halftime with the Bears already down 31-3.  I can only look at the statistics and wonder what went wrong.  Here’s the things that jumped out [...]
