Ever since the 2010 NBA Draft the gulf of free agent information is as murky and filled with misinformation as the Gulf of Mexico is with BP’s oil. The latest rumor to burst out that pipeline has been reported by Stephen A. Smith on FOX Sports Radio. He claims the triumvirate of Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, and Chris [...]

Last week we weighed in on the NBA Finals and US vs Slovenia.  I was really hoping for a better performance out of Kobe, but the Lakers still came away with the win.  The United States were robbed of a winning strike due to some unknown call.  However, that will all be forgotten due to [...]

What do these two guys have in common outside of obvious ploys to get anti-perspirant spokesperson deals?
They may both be headed out of Chicago within the next two weeks.
Mayor Daley is going to have to take some action if Chicago’s sports teams keep this up. We can’t keep sending jobs out of this city.
First, the [...]

Possibly Luol Deng?
Rumors (without confirmation from either team officials) had the Clips sending the Bulls their 8th pick overall in exchange for Luol Deng and the 17th pick in the draft.
This makes sense for the Clips as Luol Deng would be better than any free agent that they would be able to dupe into signing [...]

In two days the Chicago Bulls will decide whether to go with shooting or size. As always, this confounding question haunts all general managers outside of the top few picks. The Bulls possess the 17th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft and are, I assume, looking for a complimentary player to make the difference between [...]

This video is from a month or two ago, but if you haven’t seen it the guys from Blogs With Balls got to hang out with Joakim for a day.  Is it just me, or is everything this guy says lovable and goofy? At least off the court…Enjoy:

Well, since the USA-England match ended in a draw (luckily, which is essentially a win for the US) I’m not going to count it in the Sportsbook standings.  It would just look sloppy.  Everybody except for Stormnin Norman picked the Celtics to win Game 4 of the NBA Finals.  There’s a reason why he is [...]

The Bad Guy is here to take a look at the difference between Justin Upton’s 2009 and 2010 seasons. One of the most talked about players coming into this year,  the 22 year old has to be considered one of the bigger disappointments so far this year.
Justin Upton Diamondbacks OF -After putting up a line of 84 R, 26 [...]

Ted Lilly began the season with a terrific 6-inning performance against the Milwaukee Brewers. He allowed zero runs and three hits while walking just two batters and striking out a respectable four. This past weekend he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning against White Sox. His stat line had him throwing eight innings with [...]

Yup, I do.  Hi Erin!
Anyways, when I asked her about it, she told me a) She thought it would be “rude” to touch the Stanley Cup and b) “Who is that other guy in front of me?”
It’s Brent Seabrook.  For future reference.

We all want to see the Bulls sign LeBron, Wade, Bosh, or even Amare.  But what happens if we miss out on them?  Well we sure as hell don’t want to sign Joe Johnson, but how can we avoid it and still be competitive? (I don’t personally feel that way, I like JJ, but most [...]

This image is real, no photoshop.  It is an official Getty photo of the Hawks celebrating in the locker room after the Game 6 win.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this team.  That being said, the maturity level in a professional hockey locker room with an average age of 24 (estimate) is not high enough [...]

Maybe you haven’t heard or been paying attention, but apparently this professional baseball team has been playing games on the North Side of Chicago since April.  I haven’t heard much about it, but after doing some research, it appears these North Side “Cubs” have accumulated a 27-33 record and stand at 3rd place in a [...]

The sportsbook standings stay the same after last week’s predictions.  StevieY was the only one who got both games right, as he was the only one who foresaw the Flyers winning Game 4.  This week we check out a new avenue for your online sports betting – the World Cup!  It really is something that [...]

Is that grainy picture Green Man celebrating the Hawks winning it all on Clark and Addison?  Why yes it is.  Go Hawks!
