Do you make New Year’s resolutions?  Me neither.  But if I did, one of these years I might consider stopping sports betting online.  Hopefully that year never comes.  Anyways, it’s the last Qualified Picks of 2009, and if you feel the way I feel then I cannot wait for this wretched year to come to [...]

Inspired by NQTC reader Top Ten Nominee, here are your ten biggest douchebags in the NBA today.  These are in no particular order.  There were far too many douchebags to truly appreciate all of them, but feel free to add anyone I missed in the comments. Sasha Vujacic This whiny, flopping, jabbering idiot pisses everyone [...]

Filthy is an understatement.  However you feel about his focus and concentration, you have to admit that Tyrus Thomas has at least one “Wow!” moment per game.  This dunk over Josh McRoberts was just ridiculous, prompting Neil Funk to declare that the ball had been “buggy-whipped” down (I have no idea what that means either): [...]

The Bears game last night was awesome.  Sure they were playing against an unraveling team with a 40-year old quarterback and some injuries to key defensive players, but it was still sweet.  Aromashodu was amazing and Cutler seems to have retained his confidence even through the toughest of stretches.  The other sweet thing about this [...]

Sure some of this top ten list are positive things.  Obama is from Illinois, and of course the White Sox winning it all in 2005 was fun (for half of Chicago at least).  The rest? Meh, not so much.  This list was released by the AP titled “Top Stories of the Decade for Illinois”.  Enjoy: [...]

Vinny Del Negro should be fired.  That is obvious.  In fact, we all thought it was going to happen a few days ago, but alas, Vinny was spared the famous “Bulls Christmas Eve Ax“.  Now ESPN’s Chris Broussard is reporting what we all already knew, Vinny’s days are numbered: The decision to fire head coach [...]

In honor of the Christmas holiday, here are my holiday wish lists for Santa from various people and teams in Chicago sports.  Enjoy! Chicago Bulls: Someone who can shoot over 30% from the field, a new coach, and a big 2010 free agent (i.e. Wade, James, Bosh, Johnson, etc.). Vinny Del Negro: Competence and a [...]

It’s a bit goofy, but this cartoon pretty much symbolizes how most of Chicago feels right now when they watch Jay.  The whole last part where he is just throwing pick after pick doesn’t really flow with the rest of the clip, but its funny all the same.  Enjoy! h/t: WCG

Things are going really badly around here these days.  So badly in fact that not one, but two of our coaches are on the hot seat.  While most people feel confident Vinny Del Negro is a dead man walking, for some reason the buzz around Lovie is that he may actually be back to coach [...]

It’s almost Christmas Eve everyone, and I know I’m getting excited.  I don’t usually celebrate Christmas, being that I’m a Jew, but this may be one of those rare years where I throw down with that long-haired carpenter and have a bit of eggnog to celebrate his birth (or death, not sure.  Jewish, remember?).  Anyways, [...]

Well no one accused us of being Howie, Terry, Jimmy and JB but we’re offering up some more picks to pique your interest. Hopefully these help as you head to the online sportsbook with those Christmas/Hanukah checks that came early in the mail. To recap: we all were witnesses to the Hawks’ greatness, but only [...]

Weird picture of Urlacher giving Grossman a headlock.  Why is Favre looking on in the background?  What does it all mean? [Blog Down] The real reason Jimmy Claussen and Notre Dame are struggling may have nothing to do with on-field issues.  Just look at these chicks he’s with.  Yikes. [YepYep] Derrick Rose was in GQ.  [...]

The Chicagoist stumbled on this little error the Sun-Times website ran on Friday morning.  I don’t know if you all heard, but there was a fire at a Michigan Ave. mall and due to some sort of delay in the Sun-Times website’s cache cycling, this image appeared on the main page briefly. Before we put [...]

I know Rose seems kind of timid and isn’t always the smoothest operator in front of the media, but he is a pretty cool customer in this commercial with KG.  Enjoy! h/t: Docksquad
