Man, is this guy ever going to post something that’s not about football? One of these days, I promise. Things are so busy right now, and this is the only thing I have a weekly deadline for. I’ve tried setting up weekly deadlines for more creative posts, and they just come out like crap. So …

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.
NFL First Guessing – Week 7
I’m on the road again, so just the picks again from me this week. One quick Bears thought: – squib kicking with 11 seconds left in the game after you’ve taken the lead is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen, unless you’re kicking to Devon Hester. Guess what, Bears coaching staff, you have Devon Hester! …
NFL First Guessing – Week 6
I’m back from being on the road, at least for a little bit. So I actually have time to type up a few football thoughts. Now that the Cubs are done and I don’t even have to think about them anymore, it’s nice to focus on football (and hockey too, I guess, but the Hawks …

NFL First Guessing – Week 3
Well I have no catchy intro, other than that I’m off to a miserable fantasy start to the season. Maurice Jones-Drew and Joseph Addai are not coming through for me. But so it goes. Bears Thoughts There’s the old saying “bad teams find a way to lose,” and the Bears certainly found ways to lose …
NFL First Guessing – Week 2
Well it was an eventful first week, as was to be expected. If there’s one thing that’s predictably unexpectable, it’s the first week of the NFL. There’s obviously the Tom Brady story, and it got me thinking. There are certain stories every week that everyone covers, so I think I’ll start doing “Morgan’s story no …
Morgan & Tim’s NFL Picks – 2008
Time for that annual tradition of Tim and I slightly embarrassing ourselves with our NFL picks. I believe we’ve done this for 5 years now, and I think it’s 3-2, with Tim having won the last 2 years. This past season he smoked me 14-10. So here’s our picks. Morgan’s Picks AFC East: New England …
NFL First Guessing – Week 1
Look what’s back?! I know you’re all as excited as I am. I revel at my own nerdery in not only how excited I am for football to start, but also to be writing these weekly columns again, as well as my big Fantasy Football Draft in less than an hour (from typing this). But …
Morgan’s 2008 Tourney Challenge Final Standings
Well it was an interesting last few rounds for the top few teams (not interesting for me as I held basically dead last the whole time). So big congrats to (drum role) Ryan H! Ryan H and Ryan R were tied for first, and thanks to the Kansas win, not only did Ryan H take …
