Lovie Smith Thinks If He Doesn’t Talk About The Crappy Season, Maybe It Will Just Disappear

20 November, 2009 (08:30) | Chicago Bears | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The Bears stand at 4-5 and without a winning streak of some kind, they will likely be out of the playoffs.  Hell, Lovie and Jerry Angelo will probably be out of a job.  That being said, the media, fans, and pretty much everyone connected to the league in any way is down on the Bears.  [...]

Dan Marino Says S-Word On Live Broadcast

15 November, 2009 (17:46) | NFL | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Dan Marino was doing some halftime highlights of the Dolphins-Buccaneers game today when all of a sudden he dropped the S-bomb on everyone.  If you listen closely you can hear the other analysts in the background snickering.  Enjoy! Hey, just because we don’t get to watch the Bears lose this Sunday, doesn’t mean we can’t [...]

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 [...]

Blogs: Guinea Pigs for Mainstream Media

23 July, 2009 (11:45) | Media | By: StevieY19

It’s no secret that Stormin’ Norman and myself hold ESPN in the lowest regard. Gone are the days when I would watch Sportscenter four times per day, use anchor catchphrases in everyday life, and tolerate Chris Berman. Junior High was great though. I also believe I’m past the days of picking apart everything the WWL [...]

Cubs win the opening game of the series in Houston.  Harden looked good and Reed Johnson provided a three run triple.  [MLB] The season hasn’t gotten off to a good start for the New York Yankees.  The new stadium is having its share of growing pains and some crazy things are going on in there.  [...]

ESPN Chicago: Should We Care?

16 April, 2009 (09:00) | Media | By: StevieY19

So I finally checked out ESPN’s new Chicago centered site (site? blog? page?  whatever it’s called) expecting to be shocked, appalled and generally saddened about life the way I am with anything new ESPN does outside of their Sportscenter commercials.  Really though, I’m not sure how much this affects us Chicago folk and if anything, [...]

We Need a Change of Focus

6 April, 2009 (10:00) | College Basketball | By: StevieY19

After months of games, the college basketball season will come to an end tonight at Ford Field in Detroit, and the script really does seem like something out of a movie.  At least that’s what CBS and ESPN are telling us. Despite all the hyperbole and sappy package pieces, the Michigan State-North Carolina match-up does [...]

A Great Opportunity To Show Jay Mariotti Some Love (In Person!)

16 March, 2009 (11:00) | Media | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

NQTC has a sort of love for Jay Mariotti.  And by love I mean we hate the guy.  There is no bigger douchebag in all of sports media (I guess that’s arguable, but as a Chicagoan Jay pretty much takes the cake).  We make a special effort to cover anything that mocks Mariotti, as you [...]

What a win for Northwestern!  The Wildcats ruined Purdue’s Senior Night with a stunner; I heard they can still be as high as a six seed in the Big Ten Tournament.  Bubble?  [Lake The Posts] I absolutely agree with 3:10 to Joba that Tim Lincecum is awesome and so is the new commercial he is [...]
