February is gone! Time to move on to the juggernaut of a month that is March. March has to be in the hall of fame of months. It boasts the NCAA Tournament, St. Patty’s Day, and that first day it’s nice enough to play basketball outside. What’s not to like? Still the February reared its [...]

Intrigue in sports is in the midst of hibernation, but there were still a few stories you should have kept an eye on this week.
U-S-A! U-S-A!  The Americans fielded (iced?) a team made up mostly of players 26 and younger, very few of which had seen action in the Olympics. The results so far couldn’t [...]

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 for fantasy [...]

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 Horns]
Oh [...]

Bad news for Chicago that you’ve obviously heard: no Brett Favre lobbing interceptions this season.  Saw this hilarious shirt today and while I’m sure it’s not brand new, I had to share it.

White Sox beat the Mariners behind the long ball.  What other method do they even use?  [Sun-Times]
Chicago lost to Arizona 10-0 yesterday.  10-0? We couldn’t even Gould to kick one lousy field…wait, that’s the Cubs score?  [Tribune]
No suspension for Rajon Rondo after his missed block/intentional foul/flagrant foul/slap of Brad Miller in Game 5.  Garnett’s reaction?  [...]

Look down a bit for the first 11 picks of the NQTC Mock, but we’re looking forward to the group of picks where the Bears would have been if they hadn’t made that wonderful Cutler deal.  No more wasting time.
12.  Denver: Everette Brown, DE/OLB FSU- The Broncos would love if Sanchez fell to them here, [...]

Okay, so this isn’t the first time I’ve attempted a mock draft, but it’s damn close.  The Bears don’t have a first rounder, but I’ll take a look at what kind of player they’ll be looking at in the second round in the second half of this fiasco.  Keep in mind, I’m going to pick [...]

The NFL released the opponents teams would be facing this coming season a while ago, but the official schedule just came out yesterday.  As we already knew, the three teams in the NFC North that play the 0-16 Lions twice are considered to have the easiest schedule next year.  The Bears schedule otherwise looks to [...]

The Bengals continue to make their impression on NFL fans everywhere.  They just have an amazing ability to keep on letting us know they have a commitment to crime.  Around this time last year the team released criminal mastermind Chris Henry, only to re-sign the wide receiver a few months later; they also went on [...]

According to ESPN, the Bears have acquired Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler.  The Broncos get first round picks this year and next year, plus Kyle Orton in the deal.
I’m really shocked by the news.  The Bears always seemed like also-rans in the deal and I really expected Cutler to end up in Washington, Detroit, or even [...]

The NFL owners are meeting this week, at least I think that’s who it is, and they’re coming up with all kinds of fun new rules.  After saying they wouldn’t be doing anything of value, like changing the overtime rules or allowing a box of props in the end zones for celebrations, they decided to [...]

There is no one place to link discussing all the madness of College Basketball this weekend, but it was nuts and awesome as usual. [Anywhere]
Did you know Ron Turner runs a West Coast Offense?  Let’s just say his version is a “slight” variation on Walsh’s original exciting concept. [WCG]
The Lakers beat the Bulls in an [...]

Bears GM Jerry Angelo say down with Larry Mayer from the Bears website to talk about a few offseason issues facing the team and gave a good idea of what the Bears are thinking.  I’ll re-post the questions here, then talk about some of the answers.
LM: After the 2008 season ended, you said that you [...]

The Broncos tried to trade Jay Cutler to the Lions this weekend.  Cutler is obviously pissed, but it’s [...]
