So Peyton finally beats the Patriots, T.O. was finally suspended, and the Bears FINALLY beat Jim Haslett. I’m sure that last one was in the back of all your minds. And actually now that I read that last one, how pathetic is that? Anyway, my beloved Bears remain in first place, and they would have …

My dad once told me “I’m sorry I raised you as a Chicago sports fan.” Though I’ve understood more and more as the years go by that he really did owe me an apology, it hasn’t stopped my love of sports. This section of my site is dedicated to my random sports thoughts. Please comment, agree, disagree, mock as much as you’d like.
First NBA Post
Well, the NBA Season has started and I figured it’s about time I said something about it. I was going to post something about the dress code when they first announced it, but everyone else covered it a lot better then I would have, so I didn’t bother. Out of the four major sports, Basketball …
Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Eight)
“We’re the Chicago Bears. Da da da daa da d-da da da d-da.” ( I don’t remember the lyrics) Look out, all alone in first place is the team that ESPN ranked dead last in the power polls before the season started. And now we’re on our way to the Super Bowl! Okay, maybe I’m …
Sole Possession of First
Well I just finished watching the Bears beat the Lions in overtime. I’ll talk more about this on Tuesday morning, but I just wanted to say one quick thing. I was pretty mad about that backward lateral/forward pass controversy. When you watch the replay, it was one of those plays where if the ruling on …
Go Sox Go
Congratulations White Sox. Despite never having the media backing you the entire season, you still pulled it out. You have really been the best team in baseball since week one, and no one gave you the recognition. Everyone was waiting for the collapse. People were still saying “watch out for the Twins.” And when the …
Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Seven)
Well, a couple things you can rely on, a couple things you can’t predict, and week seven has come and gone. First of all, my fantasy season continues to plummet (this was my first week where I didn’t even break 100), even though my gutsy move of picking up and starting Brandon Jones (rookie WR …
HBP
First off, it must be strange that a die-hard Cubs fan like myself was jumping up and down and yelling when Paul Konerko hit a grand slam last night. However, I don’t get the whole Cubs fans must hate the Sox and vice versa crap. I’m totally cheering for the Sox here, and I’m really …
Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Six)
Well I woke up to find my lowly Bears that I had cursed last week in first place. Thank you NFC North! I’m starting to wonder if it’s worse being a Bears fan or a Lions fan. The sad thing is, those are the top two teams in the NFC North. However, with the Lions, …
Cursing the Cubs?
I heard a great idea this morning. So that weird call in the White Sox/Angels game last night could have been something caused by the baseball Gods, but one radio announcer suggested that this is all part of the conspiracy against the Cubs. First, you had to have the Cubs choke in 2003 when they …
Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Five)
Dun-dun-duuuuun, dun-dun-duuuuuuun, dun-dun-dun dun-dun-dun dun-dun-dun (that was my typed rendition of taps) Well week five is done (done-done), and so is my soul. Okay, I’m being a little dramatic, however, there was very little good news this week. But let’s look at the good news first. Did anyone else get a giant kick out of …
