I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

In Chicago, tonight’s playoff game between the Bears and Packers, is being billed as the most important game at Soldier Field in the past 15 years. In what seems like only an hour ago, Chicago was saying the same thing about last week’s tilt with the Lions. I think it’s more than recency bias, rather…

I’m 67% sure that the Kinks weren’t writing about me and my desire for the Cubs to make something happen, but it sure seems that way. While everyone in Chicago was talking about the Bears and Packers yesterday, the Cubs sneaked in a big trade. To hear the experts, this move should get the ball…

While trying to sift through some information re: the Cubs recent trade, I read about the Rockies newest acquisition, Michael “Don’t call me Mike” Lorenzen. Lorenzen surrendered a career high 25 homers with the Royals. Will he give up more than 25 homers in the friendly confines in Denver?

Heading into the season, I don’t think anyone outside of the Bears organuzation had the Bears winning 11regular season games. 7-9 wins was the prevailing yet optimistic range for a team coming off 5-12 season, but a 0-2 start caused some to rethink their positions. As they started to stack up wins, their confidence grew…

In era of quick fixes, and a lack of loyalty, it’s worth remembering the career of Bob Pulford, who just passed away. Because the Hawks won three Stanley Cups post-Pulford, I haven’t heard his name mentioned in years. Heck, I thought he had already died. My bad. I’m including the national coverage of his passing…

Amidst the excitement, hype, and noise of college football and the NFL, I’ve been able to settle into a late morning basketball game with the only team I’m currently passionate about (no MLB yet). Amazingly, Grant Hill is on the call of an early season Big East game on TruTV, and it’s almost as if…

As someone not especially fond of SEC sports, I’ve been waiting to yell this from the top of a mountain. I’m not sure if this specific team is any more annoying than those coached by Nick Saban, but I am happy that they lost to this particular Hoosiers football team. A team led by a…

I hadn’t intended to go after the sports media and the coverage of baseball’s off-season, but the reporting of Tatsuya Imai’s posting and free agency has forced me to rethink journalistic integrity. I know for a fact that agents use the media to move the market on their clients and that some writers/reporters are complicit…

Earlier today, Troy Aikman discussed the relationship between coaches and quarterbacks and said that too often high draft picks often are failed by their coaches/organizations but are blamed for failing their teams. He said that Norv Turner elevated the play of the Cowboys team he played for and said that some other quarterbacks benefited from…
