Deron Williams dressed up like a goof with recspecs, a ghostbusters tee, and high socks playing dodgeball.  You have to see it to believe it. [BDL] I don’t usually link to this kind of stuff, but Maria Sharapova is a real looker. [Sharapova's Thigh] So the Milwaukee Bucks are still an NBA team, at least [...]

This is the place to go for NFL Week 1 previews.  It has all the spreads and information you need for each game this coming weekend. [Midwest Sports Fans] Luol Deng will be ready for the preseason.  Oh and he likes rap and eats Egyptian food.  It’s all in his interview with CNN. [By The [...]

Jay Cutler cleans up pretty nice.  It appears he “got his hair did” for a magazine cover. [Jay Cutler Superstar] Michael Jordan’s perfection explained. [Hardwood Paroxysm] The best fantasy football team names by city.  Yeah, mine is in there for Chicago.  “Offense is not our Forte”.  Bam. [Detroit4lyfe] Ted Lilly was nominated by his teammates [...]

Steve Stone talks about his Playgirl spread in the 1980s.  Yeah, Playgirl. [WBEZ] Predictions about Jay Cutler’s upcoming seasons from a bunch of Chicago bloggers (including me).  Check it out. [Jay Cutler Superstar] Looks like I’m not the only one who lost faith in Chicago baseball this week.  A depressed White Sox fan talks about [...]

All true NBA fans in the last ten years will love to argue this list “The Ten Best Teams Not To Win A Championship in the Last 10 Years”. [BDL] A little chart about how to correctly argue about college football.  I’m pretty sure I’ve heard every single one of these lines from StevieY about [...]

Random retro baseball player Kelly Gruber (I actually remember this guy).  Love this series, when are we going to get Mark “The Bird” Fidrych? [Sharapova's Thigh] Danny Ainge better think twice before stepping to Michael Jordan.  A great clip from the 1993 NBA Finals. [Pippen Ain't Easy] Is Tony Dungy trying to get Marvin Harrison [...]

It looks like most of the paperwork on the Cubs sale has been completed and it will be signed soon.  Now it has to clear some bankruptcy court hurdles and be approved by Major League baseball.  I’m so sick of this story, just sell the damn team already so we can get some stability. [Bleacher [...]

Scottie Pippen HANDLES Patrick Ewing.  Boom! [Pippen Ain't Easy] LeBron was in Chicago promoting his new shoes, and the Chicago-styled version looks really cool.  Not like cool in the way I would ever wear them, but cool to look at from a distance. [Docksquad] Lou has a theory about Marmol’s wildness: He’s overthrowing.  I have [...]

READ THIS! If you only read one thing on the interwebs today, make it this article.  It is an amazing statistical analysis of the changes in frequency of shot types over the course of a normal NBA game. Surprising and interesting.  [Hardwood Paroxysm] It looks like there’s more than meets the eye with Hawks young [...]

Derrick Rose is apparently shooting between 500-1000 jumpers a day, 6 days a week.  On top of that, he is supposedly working on his 3-point range as well.  Good for the Bulls, bad for everyone else. [By The Horns] I love the WWE.  There, I said it.  Here is a list of the top ten [...]

A scathing review of Cubs management, ownership, and scouting.  Even though they are overpaying for an underperforming team right now, I would say 3 playoff appearances in the last 6 years isn’t all that bad. [MidwestSportsFans] Remember that pitcher for the White Sox a few years ago, Jim Parque?  Well he admits to having done [...]

Ok so Utah matched Millsap’s offer sheet which puts them at $81 million in salary.  That is pretty much the death knell for Boozer’s tenure in Utah.  The Boozer-Hinrich-Thomas rumor lives on. [By The Horns] Some suspended tennis player had his drug suspension lifted after convincing a panel that the cocaine was in his system [...]

In honor of the return of StevieY19 this week (hopefully by Friday), here’s a little Detroit Lions link.  This is what the players would tweet on the sidelines if they could.  Funny and sad at the same time. [Detroit4Lyfe] Professional memoribilia-hawks had Granderson’s number right when he got off the plane in St. Louis. [The [...]

A new camera system is being installed in every Major League ballpark to measure the exact location and speed of the ball on every part of the field, as well as where the players are.  This will allow for a better statistical analysis of the game in a lot of ways.  Joe Morgan is not [...]

Top ten moments in Chicago sports in the last decade.  They aren’t all good either.  Yikes. [Pippen Ain't Easy] Soriano is upset about his recent benching.  Here’s what I have to say about that: Hit. [Tribune] Tallon cleaned up most of his mess regarding the Blackhawks qualifying offers.  It was expensive though. [Sun-Times] LeBron James [...]
