Northwestern University is mainly known for its academics.  While their sports program is not very strong, they are in the Big Ten and have actually fielded some decent football teams the last 10-15 years or so (culminating in their amazing upset of undefeated No. 4 ranked Iowa last week).  Now, Northwestern is looking to expand [...]

Here’s the final poll for Week 10, as the Blogpoll once again employs more logic and fairness than the three major polls, who all moved USC ahead of Oregon.  Seriously.  Full poll with analysis at CBS Sports. 
NQTC gets mention again for the “Mr. Numb Existence Award” which goes to the five blogs that have the [...]

Baseball season ended a while ago, especially for the perpetually-suffering Cubs fans.  I have tried to avoid discussing or even thinking about them after the miserable summer we all had to sit through this year.  With trade talks heating up around Milton Bradley at the winter GM meetings, I think it’s time to look at [...]

Are you kidding me right now? The Bulls are down 1 with just 0.3 seconds left and Miller catches the inbounds pass and sinks a quick off-balance 20 footer just as the buzzer goes off.  The refs call it good and the Bulls go crazy.  Then the refs go back to review the tape, [...]

Remember the story earlier today about Morrissey showing up at Bulls practice with salsa claiming he was going to literally eat his negative column about Noah?  Back in 2007, Rick Morrissey of the Chicago Tribune claimed he would eat his column with salsa on it if Noah even proved to be “useful”.
Well not only did [...]

My dad sent this to me this morning, obviously perturbed about the Twins great lack of respect for the mighty White Sox (sarcasm).  Anyways, enjoy the goofy commercial:

We really don’t like most Chicago sportswriters around here.  Beyond a couple bearable ones, its amazing that these people still have jobs.  Their sensational, negative, agenda-filled columns are like nails on a chalkboard, but unfortunately we rely on them for information since they are the only ones with access to the locker rooms and clubhouses [...]

Most people that read this site watch Bears games and thus saw this wonderful display of sportsmanship from Tommie Harris.  A lot of people may have missed it though, since it was on THE 4TH PLAY OF THE GAME!  Here you go, Tommie Harris’s ejection.

Dammnit Tommie.

Before rolling the Ravens this week, Ochocinco of the Bengals gave them gift baskets with deodorant in it.  So they wouldn’t sweat of course. Classy. [Ingamenow]
My Bulls weekly roundup.  I love writing those when the Bulls go 3-0 on the week.  Awesome. [Pippen Ain't Easy]
Free beer with every “bat-free” Spurs win.  Seriously. [BDL]

As many of you have seen and heard, Sammy Sosa showed up at the Latin Grammys Person of the Year event recently looking a little different.  The Dominican Dracula, as I am now calling him, claims he has had some sort of treatment on his skin that makes it look lighter than before:
“He is going [...]

I had to take about 10 deep breaths before I started to write this, and that was still the most positive title I could come up with.  Cutler looked good, the O-line looked bad, and Ron Turner abandoned the run way too early.  I don’t care.  I want to bitch about the defense.  Every single [...]

I would have to say watching Luol Deng belt out “Fame” is probably the highlight of my day.  Enjoy the Bulls Totally 80’s tapes!

I waited to weigh in on the most recent news involving the White Sox organization until it was official. Mark Teahen is coming to the South Side while Chris Getz and Josh Fields pack their bags for Kansas City.  The White Sox wanted the versatile Teahen to add youth to an aging outfield or add [...]

Due to some combination of my laziness and being busy, I decided to bring in a guest writer for the preview today.  Adam is a loyal reader of NQTC and is here to give his thoughts on the upcoming game.  Enjoy!
The Chicago Bears (4-3) start a very important and difficult four-game stretch as the Arizona [...]
