As I prepare to go play football in our family’s annual Turkey Bowl, I have a chance to sit back and really think about what I have to be thankful for.  As you all know, the country has gone through some very difficult times this year.  If you have a job at all, you are [...]

I would like to apologize to all of our readers here at NQTC. The last few days, as a result of rising traffic numbers and an overloaded old server, we decided to undergo an upgrade. I’m not sure exactly what went wrong, but the techie guys tell me the site was “corrupted”. [...]

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:

After a couple months of non-leisure time off, it’s time to return to NQTC.  I just felt the time was right, with Stormin’ Norman coming to the stretch run of bar exam studying, the Cubs and Sox looking to make second half comebacks, and all kinds of other fun crap.  Actually, I finally got the [...]

What’s up everybody?  After a week absence that seemed like forever, I finally found an Internet connection from which I can post and not get fired. 
The place I’m staying for a while in Michigan doesn’t have an Internet connection.  I know, I know, you’re thinking I moved into a cabin somewhere and my neighbors are [...]

NQTC is heavy-hearted today, as we say a partial goodbye to StevieY19.  He has taken a job back in his home state of Michigan.  It is unclear whether he will have internet access until at the earliest July 1st, and of course we all know that he would never neglect his work to do something [...]

1) Rod Beck’s Mullet- Judd didn’t keep dominating through the break in the Power Rankings, but he showed up last week with a 9-0-1 win to keep the top position.  Ibanez was huge for the Mullet this week hitting .481 with 12 runs and 9 rbi.
2) Sharapova’s Thigh- The Thigh has been solid all year [...]

1) Rod Beck’s Mullet- A 5-5 tie this week curbed the Mullet’s strut a little bit, but not so much that he didn’t try and suck all of us poor bastards into $50 bets.  That’s like all the money I’ve won betting against Chicago teams with Stormin’ Norman the last few years!  Kerry Wood and [...]

After waiting a week to get a better idea of where teams stand, it’s time for the first edition of Power Rankings for our NQTC fantasy league.
1) Rod Beck’s Mullet- After complaining about no power rankings after his 10-0 win in the first week, Judd brought it again in Week 2, winning 8-2 and opening [...]

I know some of you caught on to our little April Fool’s joke today, but for those of you who bought it, HA! I could never kick my addiction to NQTC, and I will continue posting until my fingers fall off (or I get a real job, but that seems unlikely).
So to everyone who [...]

I’m not entirely sure how to write this post to convey what Stormin’ Norman told me earlier today, but I’ll give it a try.  It seems that due to the excessive amount of time he has been spending writing here and pressures from a certain significant other, there is a good chance that his time [...]

Here are the second half of the draft grades from the NQTC league draft last week.  If you’re unable to find the first half by scrolling down for about five seconds, it’s right here.  To the second half we go.  Now that we’re done, feel free to rip on our teams, rip on the grades, [...]

The NQTC fantasy baseball league held its draft last week, and it got done sometime around Sunday night.  Anyway, I’ve looked over the rosters and here come the draft grades.  I’ll go over them in order of where they picked in the first round, with the first six now and the last six a little [...]

Louisville-Michigan State LiveBlog

Hey everyone, StevieY and I are going to try something new this weekend.  We will be liveblogging the Louisville-Michigan State game at 1:20 pm central time on Sunday.  It will be different than some liveblogs you’ve seen.  Unlike the type they do on Deadspin where you have to keep refreshing, we will be using a [...]
