The Bulls rookies have been superb in the first 2 preseason games.  Taj Gibson was the player of the game against Indiana last week and now James Johnson hits this game-winning buzzer beater to cap an amazing performance by the kid.  Here’s the shot:

Hey everyone!  You know how we are doing Breast Cancer Awareness Month at NQTC to help a good cause?  Well I have something that will probably interest most of you more than that, and it isn’t even to help a good cause.  It’s to help a great cause.  NFL betting that is.
So for all your [...]

It Doesn’t Look Like The Media’s Favre-Love is Shared by Everyone

6 October, 2009 (11:00) | Football, Media | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I hate Brett Favre.  Cannot stand him.  But you know what I hate more than Brett Favre?  The media’s enormous boner for him.  Last night’s game was a great game except that every single announcer, feature, montage, and graphic was about slurping on Brett.
Sometimes I wonder: Is it just me?  Am I taking crazy pills?  [...]

Kobe Out-Trashtalks D-Rose

6 October, 2009 (09:00) | Basketball, Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

This next vid is a new commercial for NBA 2k10.  It features Rose and Kobe playing against each other and talking shit about how much better their respective “guys” are in the game.  Then Kobe drops a bomb on Rose for which Rose has no answer.  (Sidenote: Rose’s official nickname isn’t really “Pooh”, is it?  [...]

Get That Ball Boy a Jersey

6 October, 2009 (07:30) | Chicago Bears, Humor | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I’m not sure why this ball boy was trying to keep up with Johnny Knox on his kickoff return for a touchdown, but let’s just say if the Lions had that kid, Knox might not have gone all the way to the house.

What do you think that kid’s 40 time is?  I say give him [...]

Jay Cutler: Quarterback, Leader of Men

4 October, 2009 (22:48) | Chicago Bears, Video | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

You know how sometimes when you drink the kool-aid, it has a bad aftertaste?  Or worse, it makes your stomach hurt?  But then you know how sometimes you drink the kool-aid and its amazing and you want more and more?  Well I think you can guess where I’m at on the Cutler-aid.  I want more.

The Real Reasons Chicago Lost The 2016 Olympics

3 October, 2009 (09:53) | Chicago, Olympics | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

People in Chicago and around the country are upset and shocked over yesterday’s events.  In a stunning twist, Chicago was eliminated in the first round of voting for the 2016 Olympics.  That means they came in 4th, after many, including Vegas, said they were a lock to win.  How could this happen you ask?  Well [...]

Stop Saying Matt Forte is the Next Rashaan Salaam!

2 October, 2009 (08:00) | Chicago Bears | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

An article has been circulating around the Internet implying that Matt Forte will be the next Rashaan Salaam, or worse yet, Curtis Enis.  You know how the story goes: Rookie running back has great year, sophomore slump, out of the league within 2 years.  Take a listen:
I’m sure that those first two names [Enis [...]

Time to Recommit: Blackhawks Season Preview

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

I really can’t believe hockey season is about to start up again.  The Blackhawks have gone through a remarkable transformation over the last three or four years and the start of the 2009-10 season brings yet another new feeling for Hawks supporters.  
For one, a large group of Hawks supporters exists.  The combination of a fan [...]

How To Cheat In Baseball

1 October, 2009 (11:00) | Baseball | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I’ve always heard about players stealing signs from 2nd base, but it’s usually very difficult for us fans to see it from the stands or even on TV.  Until now that is.  Check out Mauer clearly stealing signs in the Twins-Tigers game from Monday night.  It’s subtle, but it’s definitely happening.
