As promised, here is an afternoon edition. Sorry, no additional Chicago Luvabulls video from Thursday night’s game. Check out previous posts on this site. Also no Matadors videos here. Still trying to figure out whether to be sorry about that or not (just kidding, big guys). Let the record show the Bulls, who open the […]
Derrick Rose is No. 1. Of course, he is. Any fan of the Chicago Bulls guard and reigning NBA Most Valuable Player knows that. As far as his jersey number is concerned. Actually, Rose’s No. 1 is No. 1 in terms of sales. And the Bulls are No. 1 in merchandise sales. All this is […]
For those who are eagerly awaiting the NFL draft (and even for those who are not and/or who are reading this after the annual event occurs), here are some miscellaneous draft odds, courtesy of the fine folks from Bovada www.Bovada.lv; Twitter: @BovadaLV) — and, of course, we could not run something NFL-related without having our […]
Thursday thoughts: Is there anything more exciting than the NFL draft? For your sake, we can only hope there is. The prelude to draft day contains general managers and/orcoaches either obfuscating or speaking in banalities, generalities and/or cliches. To simplify life, media outlets should report succinctly: “[Fill in the name of the general manager and/or […]
Midweek musings: Former Chicago Bulls star and current Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan was at Wrigley Field for the Chicago Cubs-St. Louis Cardinals game on Tuesday night (April 24). Perhaps he was there to make himself feel good about his woeful franchise. After all you can measure Charlotte’s futility in decades as opposed to the […]
Thanks to the perfect game that Chicago White Sox pitcher Philip Humber threw against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday (April 21), the right-hander has been immortalized (well, as much as can be with mortals). There is a poem (for better or verse) about him one one of this site’s favorite sites: Bardball.com, which lives up […]
Random thoughts while wondering which of the Chicago Blackhawks has the earliest tee time now that the Phoenix Coyotes have eliminated them from the NHL’s postseason: * The electric atmosphere. The backs to the wall. The feeling that fan support is an element to success. How did all that work for the Blackhawks in Game […]
Metta World Peace used to go by the name of Ron Artest. The Chicago Bulls are among the NBA teams he used to play for. After the elbow he threw that landed on Oklahoma City’s James Harden’s head in Sunday’s game, the Los Angeles Lakers likely will be without World Peace for at least a […]
Everyone knows Derrick Rose. Well, everyone who follows the NBA does. As complete as his game may be, he lacks a certain something. Namley, a nickname. A big-time player such as the reigning NBA Most Valuable Player ought to have a distinctive nickname. How about Derrick “Game-Time-Decision” Rose? OK, not exactly what Bulls fans had […]
Saturday smorgasbord: Home runs? Adam Dunn hit one. Then he hit another. Against the Seattle Mariners on Friday (April 20) for the visiting Chicago White Sox. Two home runs in one game? It seemed like he had trouble hitting that many in one month last season. Maybe, just maybe, the Sox won’t be as bad […]
