Recently, I got into this ridiculous argument with a friend who I constantly get into pointless, farcical arguments with. Our arguments usually fall into the football vs. some evil force (I usually defend the evil force). The latest one has been perpetuating for far too long. The argument is over the question: Which sport is [...]
Chicago Sports Years In Review: July-December 2009
July: Cubs: Aramis Ramirez continues to carry the Cubs with a .348 average going into August at 54-47. Lilly proves to be one of Hendry’s finer moves; Lilly leads the club in all categories but strikeouts. White Sox: Mark Buherle was getting into a rhythm and on July 23rd he joined a very prestigious club, [...]
Chicago Sports Years In Review: January-June 2009
Let’s face it fellow Chicagoans, 2009 was not a great sports year for our beloved. Read below for the year in Chicago sports as we saw it in 2009. January: Cubs: Just another cold, dark winter for players and fans to reflect on what went wrong, the funny thing is that one year later we’re [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Vikings @ Bears
What I Predicted: Week 16: vs. Minnesota (Monday Night Football) AP and the Vikings get their revenge late in the season in a meaningful game in Chicago as Favre plays well enough to win and AP dominates as usual. Vikings take it 28 to 24. What Happened: Bears 36, Vikings 30 This magical Monday night [...]
10 Random Rants (Vol.6)
1. Enough with the character bashing of Tiger Woods people! He’s a wealthy, powerful, good-looking, successful male athlete. What do you expect? I guess it has always been human nature to lash out at others for displaying the traits we most hate in ourselves. 2. So the Cubs finally got rid of troublesome and underperforming [...]
Bears Fans Turn On Team, Eachother
CHICAGO – When a Chicago Bears fan requested chamomile tea at a Soldier Field concession stand, three other Bears fans slugged and kicked him in front of dozens of people. Security arrived ten minutes later. Gabe Andrews, a 28-year-old Borders manager and tea enthusiast from Skokie, briefly talked about his bashing. He said the three [...]
Chicago Bears Week in Review: Packers @ Bears
It’s the same old song and dance, start slow, gain just enough momentum to become mediocre and then crumble under pressure. This recipe for disaster has plagued the Bears in at least half their games in 2009 which makes you wonder, is Lovie Smith properly getting his team ready to compete every Sunday? When Green [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Rams @ Bears
What I Predicted: Week 13: vs. St. Louis (FOX) Forte dominated the Rams last year in St Louis and it wont be any different this season. Pace gets revenge and the bears roll 41 to 16. What Happened: Bears 17, Rams 9 Well this was obviously the least attractive game of week 12 on paper [...]
Chicago Bears Week In Review: Bears @ San Francisco
What I Predicted: Week 10: @ San Francisco (Thursday Night Football) Mike Singeltary will try to best his former franchise but the pieces are not in place even with stud Frank Gore in the backfield. Forte rolls again and so do the Bears 26 to 13. What Happened: 49’ers 10, Bears 6 The prediction I [...]
