Everybody’s Blogging For The Weekend: How About A Win?
You know what? I’ve kinda got a feeling the Bears are going to win on Sunday night. Sort of like the Black Eyed Peas. Or the Beatles. A few reasons: I really can’t imagine Jay Cutler throwing a bazillion picks again. No way it happens, right? The Eagles having a banged up ...

The Bears Aren’t Here To Talk About Jay Cutler’s Struggles To Bob Costas

Video: Bethel College Has No Room For Conformity
What, you think our quarterback is just going to throw it facing the line of scrimmage every time? THINK AGAIN : Rumor has it that later in this game, Bethel’s running back took a handoff and ran backwards through the line of scrimmage. It didn’t work out as well as this play.

Don’t Expect White Sox To Make Free Agent Splash

Fancy That: Cubs Not Pursuing Mark DeRosa
If there is one thing I know about some Cubs fans, it is that they love Mark DeRosa. Love him. Love him. Love him. I suppose because he played a lot of positions, hit pretty well in his two seasons on the North Side and had some True Ballplayer in his bones, Cubs fans gravitated towards him. ...

And You Thought NASCAR Was Bad
Hey y’all, take a peek at this : No, this is not the side of a NASCAR race car, it’s the floor of a basketball court. Specifically the Scottrade Center in St. Louis for the Hall of Fame Showcase, a two-game set last evening in which Arkansas and Louisville matched up, followed ...

Did you happen to catch the Miami-Kentucky game last night? The debut of Jesus on the basketball court, Mr. John Wall? Well, if you did, you would have seen a tremendous performance by the Redhawks. They went into Rupp Arena to face the No. 4 team in the country and played fantastic. After ...

Bill Belichick Actually Went With Odds On Fourth-Down Try
There’s been a lot of chatter this morning about whether or not Bill Belichick is an idiot for deciding to go for it on fourth-and-2 from the Pats’ own 28-yard line with 2:08 to go when his team was up six. On the surface, this does seem a bit silly: if you don’t make it past ...

The Morning After: Bears-49ers
Notes on a 10-6 loss to the 49ers … Worst. Football. Game. Ever. OK, well maybe not. There have surely been worse games. Right? I dunno. In the heat of it all last night, all I could think about was what a horrible performance I was witnessing. The penalties were downright awful. ...

Um, So Now We Should Get Rid Of Football Helmets?
There’s been a lot of talk about head injuries this year in the NFL. Part of this is due to brain studies of retired players, which didn’t have the best results . Even Congress got involved ! Now, to a simple-thinker like myself, I would surmise the best way to combat such a ...
