Wow, that escalated quickly…(Ty Thomas Edition)

7 February, 2010 (13:07) | Basketball, Chicago Bulls | By: South Side Sheik

The news broke on Friday afternoon that Tyrus Thomas had been suspended for Friday night’s game and fined an unspecified amount for conduct detrimental to the team.  The initial reports from the Tribune and other sports sites did not elaborate on the conduct but one could guess that it had to do with his lack [...]

Freddy Garcia: “F#$% The Cubs”

5 February, 2010 (17:02) | Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Watch the very end of this clip to see a clearly drunk Freddy cursing the Cubs.  Good times. On another note, this clip comes from a new website over at the Chicago Now network.  The blog, titled Chicago Sports Mob, has a noble goal.  Written by Matt of Zoner Sports fame, the purpose of the [...]

Fab Five of the Week

5 February, 2010 (10:00) | Fab 5 | By: StevieY19

There’s no time to waste, let’s get to the top five stories you should have been paying attention to this week. Shhhhhh, the commercials are on!  Well, it’s Super Bowl weekend and the hype has been surprisingly tempered leading up to this great match-up.  I don’t know if it’s because I’m blessed with the NFL [...]

Douchebaggery Capitol of the U.S. Relocates to LA: The Nation Shakes Its Head

5 February, 2010 (00:22) | College Football | By: South Side Sheik

Seemingly held up for weeks by bureaucratic paperwork, USC Head Coach Lane Kiffin was successful in officially relocating the douchebaggery capitol of the United States to Los Angeles on Thursday.  While the capitol had previously taken residence in the relatively modest enclave of Knoxville, Tennesse, the nation’s capitol will now be under the bright lights [...]

The Super Bowl and sports betting online really goes hand in hand.  Who doesn’t bet on this game?  Whether it’s picking a team to win or cover, the hundreds of prop bets or cross-sports parlays (I once bet Tiger Woods birdies in his Sunday round against Hines Ward receptions), Super Bowl Sunday is made for you to [...]

Bill Wennington + Will Perdue + Luc Longley = 18 Fouls [The Bang Gang Edition]

4 February, 2010 (06:30) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The picture of this amazing t-shirt is making its way through the blogosphere (featured on Deadspin, Ball Don’t Lie, and Mouthpiece Sports to name a few), and the consensus seems to be “What a hilarious and random t-shirt”.  Wrong.  I mean yes its hilarious, but it isn’t random in the context of the 1990s. Think [...]

A Basketball Court in a Bank? Why Not?

3 February, 2010 (10:30) | Basketball | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I have no idea what the plan is here.  They are playing it off as a service to the community, but obviously this bank in Oswego, Illinois is evil, as all banks are.  Whatever their secret evil motive is, I’m buying it.  I mean who wouldn’t want to make a deposit and then have a [...]

Qualified Links

3 February, 2010 (06:00) | The Links | By: South Side Sheik

The Bulls will need to add some cheap rookie salaries next year to pair with Lebron and Chris Bosh. These guys suggest you start reading up on this Lithuanian lad. (Draft Express) Care for some Mike Martz kool-aid? (Midwest Sports Fans) Well you won’t find any high hopes for the Cubs’ Kevin Millar signing here. (Wrigleyville [...]

Mike Martz Brings High-Powered Gameplan to Low-Powered Offense

2 February, 2010 (10:30) | Chicago Bears | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The greatest show on grass?  I highly doubt it.  But apparently that’s what the Bears think Mike Martz can bring to the table.  And when I say that the Bears think he brings that to the table, what I really mean is that the other 17 crappy candidates they interviewed turned them down.  What is [...]

Leandro Barbosa Stops By Pandora

2 February, 2010 (07:30) | NBA, Video | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Steve Nash is one of my favorite players on the court, but what makes him so great his his sense of humor combined with his artistic inclinations.  Take a look at this strange video he made starring Barbosa as a Na’vi: Very strange, but very entertaining.  Keep the crazy videos coming Nash.

Carlos Zambrano Eats Glass, But You Should Eat His Weird Racist Cereal

1 February, 2010 (06:39) | Chicago Cubs | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I’m not sure how Zoner found this, but it made me laugh a few times.  For some reason this weird white dude thinks that Carlos Zambrano has a cheesy racist asian accent, but that doesn’t take too much away from the humor (and possibly adds to it).  the key here is that the “artist” combined [...]
