Tick…Tick…Vick

The dog abuser is out of prison and looking for work.  I am pretty sure PETA, animal shelters and pet stores will pass on his resume. 
Ring…ring…ring!  Why won’t Arthur Blank pick up his phone?  “Hi, you’ve reached Arthur Blank.  I am not home right now.  I am on a fishing trip with Matt Ryan,  the best young QB to [...]

Fox Sports Adrian Hasenmayer is High

While scanning the Chicago Bears Web site in anticipation of the upcoming summer camp I stumbled across Larry Mayer’s Chalk Talk.  It is basically a Q&A section where fans can shoot questions to Bears expert Larry Mayer.  Some of the questions are pretty softball and some are just silly but the first one in his [...]

Feed Vick to the Dogs?

How do you solve a problem like Michael Vick?  He is a free man.  He has served his time.  He can walk the streets of the town you live.  Did he get off easy?  Maybe.  Did he serve his time?  Yes he did.  The question now goes to NFL Commish Roger Goodell.  What do you [...]

Where Does This Canadian Hurler Go?

One of the American League’s best pitchers, Roy Halladay, is on the open market.  Roy is 11-3 with a 2.73 ERA.  He is a positive player in the clubhouse and a big game pitcher.  Almost any team would die to have a pitcher of Roy’s caliber at or near the top of its rotation.  The [...]

Blackhawk Fans are Among the NHL’s Worst

The statement I make is bold and risky.  There are a lot of idiot hockey fans.  Philly fans are just terrible, St. Louis fans aren’t much better and (according to some of my friends in Canada) Toronto fans can be unbearable during the playoffs (because they never make them).  But after sharing Blackhawks season tickets for [...]

All-Star Game is Super-Weak

In the words of Eric Cartman the MLB All-Star Game is “super weak”.
As a kid of the 80’s I remember the All-Star games being memorable.  There would be a big hit or a couple of great plays in every game.  I can still remember Freddy Lynn’s Grand Slam in old Comiskey Park.  There were always [...]

Boozer to Bulls

The Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz and Chicago Bulls having discussed a deal that would be headlined by Carlos Boozer and Kirk Hinrich, according to NBA front-office sources.
A deal featuring those main components would deliver the top of the line low-post scorer that the Bulls have been after since parting with Elton Brand.  The Bulls would also [...]

SPORTS FAILS

I can’t get enough of these.  They make me giggle.

OI..HO?  These kids certainly qualify for enrollment into OSU.

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to go OVER the bar.

You suck at soccer now go back inside and play with your Barbie dolls.

Speaking of soccer it is called a header…not a facer.

“I said your short of the 1st Down [...]

Football is King in NWI and Chicago

Living in NW Indiana (basically a suburb of Chicago) this is the time of year many of us begin moving on.  We may still catch an inning or two but our sports minds have begun looking ahead.  We have moved on to pigskin, helmets, pads and touchdowns.  The true “die-hard” baseball fans (most of those on the North side [...]

Happy Independence Day!

I hope everyone had a great Independence Day.  The weather in the Chicago area wasn’t so hot but that didn’t stop us from grilling, drinking and blowing things up. 
New posts coming soon.  All-star break is upon us and we are several weeks away from Summer pro football.  The fun part of the sports year is [...]
