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 [...]

The Cardinals win the World Series
Saturday, October 28th, 2006Man, I guess I couldn’t have been more wrong. I suppose stranger things have happened. The St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series friday night. Yuck. A Cubs fan could never be happy about that, but Will over at Deadspin (a Cardinals fan) tried to convince us with great post about baseball, and family. However, [...]
Tigers vs. Cardinals in the World Series
Saturday, October 21st, 2006First pitch is just about an hour away. The Cardinals are in Detroit for the 2006 World Series. The teams have met twice before in the World Series. In 1934 the Cardinals beat the Tigers behind the arms of brothers Dizzy and Paul Dean. They met again in the 1968 World Series where Denny McClain [...]

Bears vs. Cardinals – Week 6
Monday, October 16th, 2006Umm. Well. The Bears offense sucked it tonight. Period. Rex Grossman had 6 turnovers. Rex, you deserved to be pulled… in the first half. He must be one hell of a leader, because if I were on that team I would have walked over to him and slapped him on his head to wake his [...]
Lou Piniella huh?
Monday, October 16th, 2006So it looks like the Cubs are going to hire Lou Piniella to follow Dusty Baker as their manager. Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about it. He definitely has a track record of success. But I just wonder if he’s too old, and if he’ll stick around to see the club mature. I’ll [...]
Baseball’s Greatest Lineup Ever
Saturday, October 7th, 2006Image Courtesy of the AP So the 2006 New York Yankees fielded the “Greatest Lineup Ever”? Does that mean that the 2006 Detroit Tigers featured the “Greatest Pitching Staff Ever”? I don’t think so. While I agree, that top to bottom the Yankees lineup was pretty fierce (notice I said “was”), a lot of the [...]
Hurry up offense, but not too fast
Friday, October 6th, 2006CBS Sportsline ran a story today about a memo that the NFL’s vice president of officiating, Mike Pereira, sent to all NFL teams this week. Apparently, the NFL feels that the recent practice of using the no-huddle offense to catch the defense with the wrong personnel is giving the offense a competitive advantage. Yeah. Umm. [...]
