SeatSmart – Sporting Events Ticket Search Engine

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

SeatSmart is a sports ticket search engine. They highlight available tickets from outlets such as: StubHub, RazorGator, TicketsNow, ebay, and Rallytix.com. The interface of the site is pretty spartan. The site/software is currently in beta, so I’m not sure if that will be enhanced or if this is what they’re planning on sticking with. I [...]

Bears vs. Patriots Recap

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Ok, I’ve been back and forth about Rex Grossman. I think I’ll stick with “He sucks”. Three more picks tonight against the Patriots (all by Asante Samuel). It’s not just Grossman though, the receivers dropped a ton of balls the last couple games. This team needs some help. Is Brian Griese the answer? I don’t [...]

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

In a move to solidify their offense, the Chicago Cubs have reached an agreement with free agent Alfonso Soriano. WGN has said that the deal is an 8 year deal for 136 million. It’s the fifth richest contract in Major League Baseball history.
This signing comes on the heels of the Cubs resigning their third basemen [...]

Michigan vs. Ohio State Recap

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

I have to say, I feel sick right now. What a heartbreaker, and also, what a great game. I had wondered if any game could live up to they hype that this game received. I think this one did. It was a chess match on every side of the ball.
Jim Tressel (still don’t like him) [...]

This weekend is “Rivalry Weekend” in college football. The Crown Jewel of this weekend is the Michigan vs. Ohio State game. There has been talk from various sports media outlets debating what the best college football rivalry is. I have tried to look at this objectively (admittedly impossible), and it’s not even [...]

Bears vs. Giants Recap

Sunday, November 12th, 2006

After watching the first half of this game I was a little worried. The Bears looked terrible. Their running game was abysmal and their passing attack wasn’t much better. Rex Grossman didn’t have time, and when he did have time his happy feet forced him to throw a bad ball. Not that his receivers helped [...]

Bears vs. Giants preview

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

The Bears face a banged up New York Giants team this week, and it’s a good thing. They need to get back on track. It looks like the Bears will be hitting the Giants at a good time. The Giants defense will most likely be without starters, Lavar Arrington (achilles), Osi Umenyiora (hip flexor), Michael [...]

Bears vs. Dolphins – The Bears lose their first game of 2006

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

The Bears defense couldn’t save them today when they lost to the Miami Dolphins. The Bears turned the ball over 6 times. Those turnovers lead to all but 3 of ther 31 points. Rex Grossman was awful. He completed under 50% of his passes and threw 3 interceptions.
Is this good for the Bears? To reiterate [...]
