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 [...]

Have you ever had one of those Sundays during the football season where you have work to do that you can’t put off?  Usually those days end up with you on the couch, your work on your lap, watching 12 hours of football and getting maybe an hour or two of work done.  The President [...]

Although it didn’t help us much with the Olympics, Obama’s Chicago loyalties have been beneficial in many ways.  For a sports fan, the most fun part has been seeing him honor different Chicago teams and wear Chicago sports gear whenever he gets the opportunity.  For the NFL’s “Play 60″ campaign, Obama appears in the latest [...]

Usually we don’t address politics too often on this site beyond the occasional “Barack’s got court vision” post.  I read something last week though that got my attention about our President.  It was about something seemingly innocuous: Obama’s apparent love of golf.  The love has gone a bit far, however.  As of last Monday, he [...]

Although he isn’t as active as some of our more annoying commenters, he still has good taste in sports blogs.  This was sent to me by an anonymous NQTC reader:

NQTC reader Adam was bitching that we don’t post enough on the weekend, so here are some photos I dug up for you to look at:

K.C. Johnson is reporting that the Bulls will be meeting Barack Obama today:
The Bulls are scheduled to meet President Barack Obama Thursday afternoon in the Blue Room of the White House.
“A great honor for the Chicago Bulls organization,” said Steve Schanwald, executive vice president of business operations. “The President has been a fan of the [...]

President Barack Obama will be in the Phoenix area this week and a Chicago sports franchise has taken notice. Did the Bulls ask him to put in a good word to help get Amare to Chicago? Do the Cubs want him to hit in the leadoff spot? Come on now, we know [...]

I managed to forget Jay Mariotti existed, to the point of completely forgetting to put him on my “People I Hate” list. Unfortunately he is still writing and StevieY directed my attention to his latest post. After clicking the link, I immediately went to see if comments were still enabled. After reading [...]

Illinois got SMOKED last night against Minnesota. Smoked.
I know everyone is saying the Bears should draft a safety, but maybe they should think twice before they do.
Finally Joakim is starting to play a bit better. Don’t expect it to last.
The final Thursday Dick Joke Jamboroo. We’ll miss you nazi shark.
Eddy Curry denied [...]

Hey it’s already Thursday of Super Bowl week! Here is the highlight from media day.
Chris Berman is receiving the Pat Summerall Award for demonstrating, get this: character, integrity, and leadership. Like in the video.
Stormin’ Norman tried putting a voodoo curse on Eric Gordon before the game last night. Not sure if [...]

Bulls beat Cavs in overtime. Lebron makes 1 basket in the last 28 minutes. Obviously more to come on this. (StevieY sent me a message wondering when my 4 posts about this game would go up today)
Oh god. The Ronnie Woo-Woo movie is coming out soon. I can’t stand that [...]

There never seems to be a shortage of Ditka news in this city, and today is no different–though you can hardly call this news. After reporting a few weeks ago that some Chicago residents were pushing for Ditka to run for Governor, it now appears there is a push to have him named to [...]

Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently Spider-Man is doing a special comic featuring Barack Obama and his evil twin. The Chicagoist has more on the story:
Now we’ve seen everything. In honor of Barack Obama’s inauguration, Marvel Comics is publishing an issue of The Amazing Spider-Man in which Spider-Man helps prevent an evil plot [...]
