When Politics and Sports Cross Paths, I Get Even More Controversial [Barack Obama Edition]

4 November, 2009 (08:02) | Barack Obama, Basketball | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 [...]

Noah Shows He’s Ready To Bang

30 October, 2009 (08:00) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Were you wondering all summer if you were going to see the plodding unfocused Joakim Noah this season or the high-energy, rebounding Noah we saw in the Celtics series?  Well based on last night’s 10 point, 10 rebound fantastic performance, it looks like we can put some of those doubts to rest.  But how to [...]

Stop the damn presses, Favre broke a nail!

22 September, 2009 (12:00) | ESPN Sucks | By: StevieY19

This is the kind of thing people joke about, using exaggeration for humor.  ESPN defies the doubters:
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brett Favre’s streak is not in danger: He has a bent fingernail.
Favre’s throwing hand was clearly hurting after his last throw for Minnesota in Sunday’s win over Detroit. He was hit by two defenders in [...]

ESPN’s East Coast Bias Revealed

25 August, 2009 (19:05) | Fantasy Football, Media | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Normally I don’t support or link to Cardinals blogs, but this expose on the east coast media bias was too good to pass up..  I have been saying it for years, and even though this isn’t the hugest example, it is a pretty concrete and obvious one.

Dear Todd,

Breaking News: ESPN Extends Baseball Games to 9 and 2/3 Innings

23 July, 2009 (19:02) | Chicago White Sox, ESPN Sucks | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

You’ve probably already heard about Mark Buerhle’s perfect game, but did anyone happen to check ESPN sometime around the 7th inning? Let’s just say their math didn’t quite add up.  According to this screenshot sent to me by South Side Sheik, Buerhle had retired 23 men and had only 6 outs to go.  Hmmm, [...]

ESPN Is So Full Of Shit (Morning Pictures)

2 June, 2009 (09:00) | Baseball, Chicago, ESPN Sucks, Media | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The Cubs played the Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN the other night.  As ESPN always does on those national telecasts, it broadcast many live views of Chicago landmarks.  Notice anything wrong with this one?

I’ll give you a hint, take a look at the building on the left.  It’s the Sun-Times building, right?  Well [...]

Pick ‘A’ for Awful Taste

10 April, 2009 (12:38) | Media | By: StevieY19

I really don’t have a lot to say about this, it just seems like a horrible decision by ESPN.  The kid died yesterday.  And this after their horrible choice/oversight regarding a commercial yesterday.  You can’t just play sad music and think that makes everything okay.
