Could The Hawks Really Extend Kane, Toews, and Keith? [Pipe Dream Edition]

17 November, 2009 (10:30) | Chicago Blackhawks | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Have you heard about those Blackhawks lately?  After making a run in the playoffs last year, they are off to a great start again this season at 12-5-2.  Now, on the eve of their Circus Trip, management has leaked the information that they are close to signing Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews to long-term extensions, [...]

Jay Cutler Sucks [And Why He Has To Be Bad Right Now]

17 November, 2009 (09:06) | Chicago Bears | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Jay Cutler is bad.  Jay Cutler cannot live up to the expectations.  Jay Cutler is so arrogant he has never seen a pass he didn’t think he could make.  Am I missing anything?  Okay now that we have that covered, let’s get down to business.  The Kool-Aid is tasting a little sour the last few [...]

Dennis Rodman Thrown in German Jail for Skipping Out on Hotel Bill

16 November, 2009 (20:33) | Humor, NBA | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Dennis Rodman is up to his old tricks, although this time it probably wasn’t completely his fault.  Rodman was in the German town of Trier for a “USA Legends of Basketball” exhibition game this weekend.  After the game, he threw a huge party in his hotel room.  While the organizers of the game agreed to [...]

Everyone Seems To Have Forgotten Derrick Rose is Not 100% Healthy

16 November, 2009 (10:32) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The talk around town the last couple days has been the performance of Derrick Rose.  Sure, the Noah bandwagon has been big news, but a lot of people are starting to wonder: What’s wrong with Rose? After winning Rookie of the Year honors last year while posting 16.8 points, 6.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds, Rose [...]

The guy who cropped this photo had to know what he was doing.  Oh and boooo Indiana. [Deadspin]
Some movies for Jay Cutler and Bears fans.  Misery is all I can think of.  [Jay Cutler Superstar]

Dan Marino Says S-Word On Live Broadcast

15 November, 2009 (17:46) | NFL | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Dan Marino was doing some halftime highlights of the Dolphins-Buccaneers game today when all of a sudden he dropped the S-bomb on everyone.  If you listen closely you can hear the other analysts in the background snickering.  Enjoy!

Hey, just because we don’t get to watch the Bears lose this Sunday, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy [...]

Blackhawks Andrew Ladd Boxes Equipment Manager Before Every Game [And Other Crazy Hawks Superstitions]

14 November, 2009 (08:57) | Chicago Blackhawks, NHL | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The Blackhawks are playing some filthy hockey this season.  Although the team has been riddled with early season injuries to many key players, they have still been able to hang onto the lead in the Central Division.  But what is the key to all their success the past few years?  Some say its an influx [...]

Micro Machines Guy Rips Chicago Bears Quarterbacks

13 November, 2009 (12:00) | Chicago Bears | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I have one simple request.  Can everyone stop emailing, instant messaging, texting, and calling me to talk about or ask what I thought about last night’s Bears game please?  I don’t feel like talking about it.  You can all expect one or both of these 2 posts next week: Does Cutler Suck? And should the [...]

An Ode To Crappy Photoshops

13 November, 2009 (10:30) | Pictures | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

After the guys at Zoner Sports described my photoshop jobs as “heinous”, I decided it was time to revisit all the horrible photoshops I’ve done over the last year or so.  One quick secret: this is all a lie.  I never actually “photoshopped” anything but have been using Microsoft Paint.  Seriously.
Obviously Larry Hughes makes some [...]

That’s the way it is in Tennessee

13 November, 2009 (09:00) | College Football | By: StevieY19

Tennessee’s football season has been tumultuous at best this year and has frequently descended into downright hilarity.  Most of this is thanks to Lane Kiffin, but they’re branching out. 
Typically, there isn’t anything to chuckle about when it comes to armed robbery unless you’re talking about a dumb criminal story or the victim comes out unscathed [...]

NBA Power Rankings [Week 2]

12 November, 2009 (15:00) | NBA | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The power rankings are brought to you this week by guest-writer Mr. Big Shot.  He shared my feelings that only the top 16 were necessary since a) writing these is tedious, and b) who gives a shit about the bottom 16 teams?  I know I don’t care what he thinks about the New Jersey Nets.  [...]

Could Granderson be Coming Back to Chicago?

12 November, 2009 (13:19) | Chicago Cubs | By: StevieY19

Curtis Granderson is a top notch center fielder, Detroit fan favorite, Chicago native, and as Stormin’ Norman says, “a dreamboat.”  Is it possible that Granderson could be heading back to the Windy City to become a member of the Chicago Cubs?  Two weeks ago I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but it’s been the talk [...]

Will Bynum Power Dunks On Everyone

12 November, 2009 (11:21) | Basketball | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Will Bynum, the kid from Chicago who everyone said was too small to succeed in the NBA, has been upping his game big-time in Detroit this year.  Anyways, check out this sick video of a couple of his slams last night.  Love this kid.

According to StevieY19, this dunk was over “my boy”. Tyson Chandler? [...]

Rick Morrissey Is Driving The Joakim Noah Bandwagon, And There’s Room For a Few More

12 November, 2009 (09:35) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Before I start in on this post (which is mostly going to be about how Noah should be an all-star this season), I just want to throw out a huge “I told you so”.  I have loved Noah since day 1 (yes Ethan, I’m happy we took him over Spencer Hawes), and now that everyone [...]
