As I discussed earlier, defense will be the key to a successful season for the Chicago Bulls.  That got me thinking about Scott Skiles.  While he wasn’t the best coach in many ways, the one thing he was (and is, damn Bucks) good at is making his teams play excellent defense.  Individually and as a [...]

While Chicago tries to forget the 2009 season, some people are still analyzing it.  One such person, Wayne Winston the noted statistician, has been using a different statistic to measure a player’s value (I think its been around for a while, but no one ever listens to it because its not one of baseball’s “traditional” [...]

As the new Bulls season approaches, we can all excited about a few things: the arrival of Derrick Rose as a superstar, Tyrus Thomas finally reaching his potential, Noah taking a step forward, Deng coming back full strength, and others.  But there is one thing the makes me dread the upcoming season, and that thing [...]

It’s a beautiful picture, isn’t it?  I mean its just amazing.  Sure everyone is blaming Holliday for the loss, but let’s be honest: there’s enough blame to go around.  Colby Rasmus trying to stretch a double to a triple and getting thrown out, Franklin melting down after the error, and LaRussa watching it all happen [...]

In case you missed it, the Blackhawks and Red Wings kicked off the North American portion of their regular season schedules last night in Detroit, with the Wings holding on for a 3-2 win.
This was supposed to be–or at least had the chance to be–the statement game for the Hawks.  It was time to show [...]

The situation in Cleveland is a strange one.  The Indians [...]

Are you sick of this Hitler thing being reused for everything?  I’m not.  This one about Daley and the 2016 Olympics may be the funniest one yet.  Unlike the other ones, this remake actually casts Daley as Hitler. No comment on that one. Enjoy! NSFW by the way.

So these are a day late, but we’re predicting nonetheless.  You’ll have to forgive Stormin’ Norman and me because our teams didn’t exactly have uplifting seasons.  The Cubs can’t even see the expectations that were set for this season from where they plateaued and the Tigers lost a 7 game lead in a month, then produced [...]

Here are The Bad Guy’s starts of the week for Week 5. All of these guys make for great bye week replacements and should also be considered top 15 options at RB. Don’t be afraid to get them in your lineups over some bigger name guys.
 
Rashard Mendenhall RB Steelers – With starting RB Willie Parker [...]

It looks like Brian Urlacher is making good use of all his free time since he was injured.  A new special that goes behind the scenes of his life will be airing on Comcast Sports Net this Friday at 7pm central.  According to Bear Goggles On (via Vizio), the show will be very revealing:
This week’s [...]

Blogpoll is up.  Check out the analysis at CBS Sportsline. While not as bold as last week’s, the Blogpoll voters have shown more willingness to reevaluate each week and you know, think than the AP and Coaches’ Poll voters.

This story has absolutely no relation to Chicago, sports, or Chicago sports.  It also has no redeeming value of any kind.  It is just so horrific and strange that I had to repost it here.  Thanks to StevieY19 for the tip (I’m not sure why he’s trolling the Internet looking for stories about 14 year [...]

Ron Zook called QB Eddie McGee into his office of intensity on Sunday night and told the junior that he would be starting for the Illini Saturday against Michigan State.  The move will end a streak of 38 straight starts for Juice Williams and is something Zook hopes will spark the Illini after their 1-3 [...]
