On Cubs, Bears, Bulls and Ricky Bobby

chicagosports — 2009-11-20T14:23:06-06:00

The Cubs will do almost anything to move Milton Bradley. Yay. One rumor has him to going back to Texas with Rangers pitcher Kevin Millwood moving to the Mets and the Mets sending the Cubs second baseman Luis Castillo, who...

Slaughtering the Flames was great, but . . .

chicagosports — 2009-11-20T14:17:58-06:00

Seeing Cristobal Huet make some big saves early and some incredible saves when the score was close, great. Seeing the Blackhawks score on a 5-on-3 advantage, great. Seeing the Hawks score four power-play goals, great. Seeing Kris Versteeg come back...

The Bears might not be the Blitzburgh Steelers, but they should be this Sunday

chicagosports — 2009-11-19T11:41:01-06:00

Bears coach Lovie Smith faces an interesting problem against the Eagles offense this week --- a problem that comes down to using his beloved Cover-2 defense or selling out to give the Eagles the kind of blitz-crazy headache they give...

The Bulls closed, which opens some eyes

chicagosports — 2009-11-18T13:13:45-06:00

The Bulls closed. They closed offensively and they closed defensively. They did it on the road and now at least won’t get skunked on the death-defying circus trip. Yeah, the Sacramento Kings were missing Kevin Martin, their best scorer, and...

Eagles are just what Jay McNown needs for a good night

chicagosports — 2009-11-18T11:50:31-06:00

You know who stinks as much at night football as Jay Cutler? The Eagles, that’s who. They are an astounding 0-7 on NBC since the network took over the Sunday night package, including a loss to the Bears a year...

Gregg, Bradley, Beckham voting --- no offseason for baseball stupidity

chicagosports — 2009-11-17T13:38:20-06:00

Just when you thought baseball couldn’t get any dumber comes this: Kevin Gregg is classified as a Type A free agent. No lie. The guy who regularly leads the league in home runs by a closer and apparently has a...

Father knows best --- better than the Bears, anyway

chicagosports — 2009-11-17T11:58:17-06:00

Welcome to the club: Rex Grossman’s dad says the Bears are wasting Jay Cutler. He follows a long line of people who have voiced the same opinion. I believe that Thursday is reserved for the Orton family. Tip to everyone...

Brouwer making 'em count and making people notice

chicagosports — 2009-11-16T12:56:56-06:00

You know who’s playing some great hockey for the Blackhawks? Troy Brouwer, that’s who. Yeah, Jonathan Toews is back to being an offensive threat and a monster on faceoffs since coming back from a concussion. Yeah, Patrick Kane has been...

Whatever happened to football around here?

chicagosports — 2009-11-16T11:16:39-06:00

Have you ever seen such a bunch of bad coaches in one football region as we have here with Lovie Smith, Ron Zook and Charlie Weis? We’re talking Chicago’s NFL franchise, Illinois’ state college program, and God’s football team ---...

I gave up "Project Runway" for this?

chicagosports — 2009-11-13T00:37:25-06:00

I gave up "The Office" and "30 Rock" for that? I mean, Michael Scott and Liz Lemon could’ve executed better than Jay Cutler and Devin Hester. Bears-49ers Thursday night might’ve been the worst football game ever. Bad and stupid plays....
