Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la.
Mushin, thanks for bringing that veteran “leadership” and for letting your play do the talking. It really spoke more loudly than you ever could have.
The funny thing is that the Carolina Panthers are bringing him back. Don’t they know just as well as the Bears that Mushin isn’t all he’s cracked up to [...]

Mushin Muhammad is not the Bears problem anymore
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Cubs owner Sam Zell looking to sell naming rights for Wrigley Field
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008This is just another example of a suit who doesn’t understand the Chicago baseball fan trying to wring more cash out of his investment.
Zell, who is the CEO of the Tribune Company, is planning on selling off the Cubs and Wrigley Field separately , undoubtedly to maximize his profit. He’s a businessman, that’s what he [...]
Tampa Bay Rays looking into bringing in Bonds
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008Note to Andrew Freidman, GM of the Tampa Bay Rays, “Don’t do it”.
You have a team that is actually starting to resemble a major league ball club, you don’t need that kind of distraction and clubhouse cancer. You need to stay your course and continue to develop top young players into viable major leaguers.
There was [...]
The Bears bring Grossman back to torture their fans
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008So we’re in for another year of “Rex is our quarterback”. Ugh. The Bears say that Grossman will have to compete for the starting job with Kyle Orton, Brian Griese or whomever the Bears bring in at quarterback. Hopefully they’ll draft a solid QB in the upcoming draft, but my confidence in Jerry Angelo drafting [...]
Mariners and Orioles finally finish the Bedard for Jones deal
Sunday, February 10th, 2008The Mariners and the Orioles finally get the deal done to send Erik Bedard here to Seattle and the Mariners send top prospect Adam Jones to Baltimore. There are some other players heading to Baltimore in the deal as well. Left-handed specialist George Sherrill along with 3 minor leaguers.
Was this too much for the Mariners [...]
How to opt out of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
Monday, February 4th, 2008I pretty much want one thing from my weekly sports periodical… Sports. There is one issue a year from the only sports periodical that I subscribe to that is not focused on sports, the Swimsuit issue. Even if it was focused on the upcoming season’s hot swimwear (which it’s not), that still would be out [...]
Super Bowl XLII Recap
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008Wow. I definitely did not expect the Giants to win, but I definitely didn’t expect the game to so entertaining and close. That was the best Super Bowl game I can remember.
The last Giants drive was amazing. It certainly won Eli Manning the MVP award. When he got away from the Patriots pass rush and [...]

Super Bowl XLII – the Receivers
Friday, February 1st, 2008Obviously with 2 wide receivers with 100+ receptions, Randy Moss with the TD record, and someone having to catch Tom Brady’s record setting 50 TD passes, the Patriots are loaded at receiver. Randy Moss leads the bunch, complemented by Wes Welker and Donte Stallworth. The Patriots have 7 wide receivers listed on their depth chart, [...]
Super Bowl XLII – the Running Backs
Friday, February 1st, 2008The Giants running backs averaged 134.2 yards per game and 4.6 yards per carry, that’s 4th in the league. The Patriots managed 115.6 yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry.
The Super Bowl will feature teams that have gotten to this point of the season based on the play of their quarterbacks. The ground game [...]
