The movie “Hoosiers” made it famous, but Butler’s 2010 Tournament run made it a must-see for hoopheads.
The Sports Bank’s Paul M. Banks makes a pilgrimage to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse, and Butler players discuss seeing the movie with the media

At the trade deadline last season, the Bulls acquired some players that made a huge impact on their season.  They also were able to dump some huge contracts.  One of those was the contract of Larry Hughes.  In exchange for Hughes, the New York Knicks sent us some garbage.  One of those pieces of junk [...]

Does he or has he ever taken steroids? Probably. Is he kind of a douche but tries to act polished? Definitely.  However you feel about him, there’s one thing that’s certain, the pronunciation of his name is hilarious.

Yesterday was opening day for baseball on both sides of town, and the results could not have been more different.  Sox fans will tell you that this is a sign of things to come, while Cubs fans will say that it was one game and we all just need to relax.  I don’t know the [...]

Under the current and counter-intuitive BCS system, college football will never have a title game like the instant classic we watched Monday night. There will never be a mid-major taking on a BCS conference school, and battling them down to the final second, for [...]

The early Final Four game yesterday was great.  Butler and Michigan State had it out in a slugfest.  The highlight of Butler’s win did not happen on the court, or even in Indianapolis.  It happened at the White House a few days earlier.  During halftime CBS showed Barack Obama playing against Clark Kellogg at the [...]

The Bulls are hanging onto their playoff hopes by a thread, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some good highlights.  Noah actually runs the break in this clip and tosses up a filthy alley-oop to D-Rose in last night’s victory over the Wizards.

Last season was a huge disappointment for a Cubs team that had won two straight divisions the two previous years.  What was most disturbing was that the 2009 Cubs had pretty much the same personnel as the 2008 Cubs, with most feeling like Hendry had improved the team prior to the start of the season. [...]

To those of you out there that are Jewish and haven’t had a good poop in days because of Passover, I’m definitely feeling your pain.  To those are not, let’s just say that eating nothing but matza for 8 days creates quite the brick in your stomach.  These ladies are also feeling that, but at [...]

INDIANAPOLIS-For Duke, the most polarizing team in this Final Four, success hinges on the play of it’s too stars who are (you guessed it) love ‘em or hate ‘em guys- Junior Forward Kyle Singler and Senior Point Guard Jon Scheyer.
Duke fans love to [...]

INDIANAPOLIS- Remember back to 1999, a time when Ricky Martin and really annoying “boy bands” were oppressively popular? Back then Michigan St. had a star point guard who had a monster junior season in leading his team to the Final Four. Mateen [...]

INDIANAPOLIS- Now that Butler is back home to face Michigan State in the Final Four, a lot of people are describing the Butler Bulldogs, the first University to play in a Final Four they’re hosting since 1972, as “real life Hoosiers” or “this [...]

Greetings interwebs.  I’ll be taking over the Qualified Picks for who knows how long in order to get your sports betting online fix in.  Stormin Norman has been obviously slacking lately so he asked me to help out.  Plus he promised to pay me in bagels and lox so I could not refuse.  This week we focus on the exciting Final Four [...]

Isn’t this considered bad luck?  Take a lovely drive down the Eisenhower and you’ll see this masterpiece.  I’m not the hockey aficionado, but it seems like tempting fate.  Especially with the recent skid the Hawks are in.  No idea what the pig-nose is about either.
