Everyone seems to be getting in on the fun of supporting the Hawks right now.  The lions in front of the Art Institute, the dinosaur at the Field Museum, and even the Michael Jordan statue in front of the United Center.  My favorite act of support? The Lincoln Park Zoo unleashing their tiger on a [...]

The NBA Conference Finals have become instantly interesting and the Stanly Cup Finals start this weekend as well.  With amazing weather, Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, and street fests just around the corner; Chicago is the place to be right now.  However don’t forget about sports betting online.  Everyone picked at least one game right last week, [...]

I’m not sure what the guys over at Bleacher Nation were getting at with this goofy movie poster, but it made me laugh so here you go.  Go Cubbies!

Right now, after reading dueling articles from ESPN’s LeBron Tracker, I am finding it more and more difficult to believe LBJ is coming our way. Believe me, I actually thought this was a possibility a couple of months ago, but, after Jackson snubbed the rumor he would be willing to depart L.A. for Chicago, I [...]

SICK!!!!  And it only cost Duncan Keith four teeth! h/t: MPS

Well after last week nothing changed at all in the Qualified Picks Sportsbook.  Boston dominated Lebron again and Dallas Braden couldn’t get any run support against the Angels.  This week we actually had a hockey schedule to work with so no pointless MLB match-up.  SteveieY and I can’t wait for the NBA Playoffs to be over, [...]

C: Geovany Soto, Chicago Cubs BA: .298 HR:: 4 RBI: 10 R: 18 OBP: .463 SLG: .468 I would give this to Cincinnati Reds’ catcher Ryan Hanigan, but he’s only played in 22 games so far. Sure, Soto doesn’t have the at bats to qualify either, but he has played 33 games and the closest [...]

We’re not trying to turn this site into “Lebron TMZ” but he is certainly making news with his actions early in his off-season.  From reports of his entourage/team/brain trust showing up at a Troy Smith charity event sporting Bulls gear, to reported brokering by World Wide Wes to package Lebron and John Calipari, the internet [...]

Last Friday, the City of Chicago decided to honor the Blackhawks run to the Western Conference Finals (and hopefully beyond) by coloring the fountain at Daley Plaza Blackhawks red.  One problem, they couldn’t quite seem to get the color right: An effort to pay tribute to the Chicago Blackhawks at Daley Plaza fell short of [...]

Bill Simmons wrote an excellent piece on the LeBron James situation.  He not only breaks down what LeBron is and can be, he also points out why Chicago is the best option for him: If he cares about winning titles (multiple) and reaching his full potential as a player, he has only one move: the [...]

With LeBron bombing a second straight game and his Cavs being bounced from the playoffs, the speculation about the future of his career is now reaching a fevered pitch.  As July 1 approaches, it will only get crazier.  Fans from Cleveland could not imagine that he would leave, fans from New York could not imagine [...]

The Hawks were able to win their series against the Canucks, sure, but not before some strange fans channeled one of the greatest shows on TV (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) by bringing out their greenman costumes.  Love it. h/t: 30fps

Everyone went 1-1 with their selections last week, except for Stormin Norman who picked both games right.  However, he still finds himself at the bottom of the sportsbook list.  This week, there aren’t a lot of good match-ups.  The NHL was waiting to see if Sid The Kid won before making a schedule that was convenient for him.  [...]

The Cubs season has been trying to say the least. It is May and we are already oohing and aahing prospects being brought up to hem the bleeding that has the team in fifth place in the NL Central, behind the Pittsburgh Pirates. Really, I get a little scared when the season has already boiled [...]
