The legend of Michael Jordan starts way back on his dirt driveway.  Back then he was getting spanked by his older, bigger, brother almost everyday on their dirt court.  His brother, Larry, is as much a part of the legend of MJ as anything else.  It’s hard to picture Michael getting beaten consistently (or at [...]

Excuse me if I don’t cover much of the first three quarters of this game, but  I was spending time with my grandmother who is extremely ill. Thus, most of my impressions from the first three quarters were based on what the radio team was telling me on the drive back into the city.
Without further [...]

As we enter Pro Bowl weekend (!!!) we take a look back at what’s gone down in the past seven days that you should be aware of. 
It’s Colts-Saints in the Super Bowl.  There have been great games lately, but few that have looked as good going in as Colts vs. Saints after both teams remained [...]

After what seems like an eternity, the Chicago Bulls will finally be sending someone to the 2010 All-Star game in Dallas!!  Yahoo Sports reports:
Point guards Deron Williams of Utah, Chicago’s Derrick Rose and Boston’s Rajon Rondo will make their All-Star Game debuts next month in Dallas, sources said Thursday.
Williams, Rondo and Rose top the list [...]

How would I describe the Bears’ search to fill the vacancies for Offensive and Defensive Coordinators?  Laughable.  Tragedy.  A joke.  Disaster.  You get the idea.  This has turned into a complete debacle – I really don’t think people understand the full extent of it.  For months, everyone knew that Ron “I don’t know how to [...]

The last week’s 4-game winning streak has given Bulls fans hope for the stretch run this season, but it’s tough not to look ahead to the deadline and the summer.  Mike McGraw wrote an article this morning, speculating on all kinds of Bulls rumors that are a combination of speculation and actual news.  The biggest [...]

The week before the Super Bowl.  We have one thing to be thankful for – Brett Favre is not in it!  I can actually watch sportsmedia to get information for me online sportsbook account without having to filter through hours and hours of Brett Favre ass-kissing. 
Anyways, sports betting online takes dedication.  Ever try betting every nba game for a [...]

Stormin Norman has already pre-ordered his Xavier “I’ve had two Tommy John surgeries but you’re all assuming that I’ll pass this physical” Nady jersey for Opening Day. (Bleed Cubbie Blue)
I’m sure Dwayne Wade is thinking “All [...]

Some people around here think I drink too much Barack Obama Kool-Aid just because I mention every time he does anything remotely related to sports.  Well when he has moments like this, its hard not to love him.  In fact, anytime a sitting President mocks Magic Johnson with a Michael Jordan Bulls reference, I guarantee [...]

From the desk of His Jesusness Shuttlesworth:
Dear Commissioner Goodell,
Something needs to be done about OT! I warn you that I often start emotionally, so bare with me- I promise a return to prudence by my letter’s middle. While I do not seek to generalize, it behooves me to emphasize that I am not alone in my criticism of [...]

I just wanted to share this little tidbit I found via Truehoop on the Rockets blog Red94, which explains Rose’s ridiculous speed and quickness as well as anyone has described it to date:
I don’t think I have ever seen a guy with a first step similar to that of Rose.  A lot of times, what [...]

Elephants playing basketball?  Yeah its real.  And it’s hilarious.  Apparently Thai zoos are training its elephants to play basketball “for their health“.  Seems more likely it is to sell tickets to their zoos, but either way this is hilarious.  If its not good enough for you, feel free to search for “elephants playing basketball” on [...]

The Phoenix Who?  That’s what Vinny Del Negro is asking after last night’s beat down.  Random fact: Since Vinny started coaching the Bulls, they are 3-0 against his former employer.  Anyways, this post is not about Vinny Del Negro, or even the Bulls giving the Suns a spanking.  This is about Derrick Rose’s performance.  Let’s [...]

Hard to follow last week’s news of Mark McGwire and Lane Kiffin, but here it goes.
Athletes help Haiti.  By far the most important story out there for the past week-plus is the tragedy in Haiti.  It feels right that athletes are doing their part and even inspired Jay Mariotti to write a decent piece.  Crazy, [...]
