In week five things got interesting, and week six will change the landscape. College football showed why it is a beautiful thing this last week. Heavily favored teams went out and were beat by teams with lower quality personnel. Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and Alabama were all upset. Washington and California were [...]

Saturday Shake-Up
Sunday, September 30th, 2007Cubs wrap up the NL Central
Friday, September 28th, 2007The Cubs put away the Brewers to claim the NL Central title. It’s been a long time coming. The sweep in Florida had me worried but with the win tonight against the Reds combined with the Brewers loss clinches it for the Cubs. By the way, Kahlil Greene is my favorite blonde-haired, beach bum shortstop. [...]
Bears vs. Lions – Week 4 Preview
Friday, September 28th, 2007Brian Griese has a great opportunity to look like a great quarterback this weekend. The Lions have given up 8.6 yards a padding attempt this season. Last week the Eagles shredded the Lions defense. Brian Griese is not Donovan McNabb, and Cedric Benson certainly isn’t Brian Westbrook, but the Bears do have some talent on [...]
Michigan vs. Northwestern Preview
Thursday, September 27th, 2007The Wolverines can’t possibly lose this game. Can they? Northwestern lost to Duke. A couple of things that I know. Michigan has consistently had trouble with Northwestern. For some reason the Wildcats play Michigan tough. Northwestern runs a version of the spread offense that gave Michigan fits against Appalachian State and Oregon. Thankfully Northwestern’s version [...]
Who should start at RB for Week 4?
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007This week I promise I’ll listen to the result of this poll. And if I don’t I’m sure that whoever I don’t pick will have a career day just like Kevin Curtis did last week.
This week it’s a running back question. I have Jamal Lewis and Brandon Jackson. Lewis is going up against the [...]
Brian Griese named the Bears starter against the Lions
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Finally we don’t have to hear the words from Lovie’s mouth, “Rex is our starting quarterback.” I couldn’t be more pleased. Make no mistake, I don’t think Griese will do well (except against the Lions this week), but I do think he’s better than Rex. Who will the media beat up on if the Bears [...]
The Cubs final two series of 2007
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007The Cubs will face the Marlins and the Reds to close out the 2007 regular season. Neither of those teams will sniff 80 wins this year. The Cubs have to like their chances of winning the NL Central. I know… it’s a terrible division. Possibly the worst in MLB. But someone has to win it [...]
I should’ve listened to you
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007I apologize. There were 3 people who responded to my poll about who I should start last week at wide receiver. One of them was me. In a total bonehead move, I didn’t check this site when I was setting my lineup, and unfortunately I went with Bernard Berrian. Ooops.
So please forgive me.
Berrian [...]
Bears get demolished by the Cowboys
Monday, September 24th, 2007What can be said for the Bears? They were terrible. Sunday night’s loss to the Cowboys couldn’t have gone much worse.
Brian Urlacher missed a ton of tackles.
Lance Briggs hurt his groin.
Cedric Benson still can’t run the ball consistently.
Devin Hester probably could have made some nice plays if he was able to hold onto the ball.
Bernard [...]
Cowboys vs. Bears – Week 3 Preview
Friday, September 21st, 2007This Sunday’s matchup between the Bears and the Cowboys pits one of the best offenses (Dallas) in the league against one of the best defenses (Chicago).
The Bears have proven to be able to keep running games in check. They have held LaDanian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson to low rushing totals in their 2 games [...]
