Ben Gordon In A Pistons Jersey Still Seems Weird To Me

16 October, 2009 (16:14) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Whether you are happy, sad, or indifferent about Gordon leaving the Bulls, it will be weird to see him in a Pistons jersey this season.  Well I had my “Gordon as a Piston” cherry popped today when I saw this on BDL.  Enjoy the picture and have a great weekend.

Some crazy religious Baptist church has been in the news of late for the upcoming release of their new book.  The Amazing Grace Baptist Church in North Carolina is quite the organization.  Their website goes on and on about how all kinds of athletes and celebrities are going to hell for various reasons.  Of the [...]

15 October, 2009 (12:00) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

If you haven’t caught much of the Bulls preseason but want to know what’s going on with them, don’t worry.  I’ve got your back.  Before I do, however, I highly recommend checking out Kelly Dwyer’s Bulls Season Preview.  Anyways, here are some things of note so far in the Bulls hot 4-1 preseason start.

Should The Cubs Pursue Rudy Jaramillo? [Hitting Coach Edition]

15 October, 2009 (08:41) | Chicago Cubs | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The Cubs need a new hitting coach.  Gerald Perry wasn’t cutting it and Von Joshua was just an interim solution.  The Cubs need someone who will connect with the players and work on their mechanics, yes, but equally as important is someone who will stress the importance of patience at the plate.
In 2008, the Cubs [...]

Apparently some official within th eGiants organization claims they would trade Rowand for Bradley “straight up”.  Rowand’s contract is way worse and has another year on it, but still you have to think the Cubs should do [...]

Remember Devin Hester? Not The Wide Receiver Guy, The Kick Return Guy [Super Tecmo Bowl Edition]

14 October, 2009 (11:32) | Chicago Bears | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Devin Hester is developing nicely into a solid wide receiver in this league.  With Cutler slinging the passes, it seems that Hester has improved significantly from last season.  That being said, don’t you miss the old days?  The days of 2006, when opposing teams were better served by kicking the ball into Lake Michigan than [...]

Dustin Byfuglien’s Fashion Sense Matches His Game; Sloppy But Fun

14 October, 2009 (08:02) | Chicago Blackhawks | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The man affectionately known as “Buff” has looked very sharp on the ice so far this season.  He also has looked very sharp off it, sporting a Bruce Pearl-esque suit for the home opener.

Glad I kept Watching that Game

13 October, 2009 (10:00) | Chicago Blackhawks, NHL | By: StevieY19

I was overjoyed last night when I found out the Blackhawks-Flames game would be on Versus.  Not so overjoyed when the Flames had built a five goal lead with just over eight minutes left in the FIRST period.  In about five and a half minutes, the Flames went from scoreless, to up five; and they [...]
