Chicago Cubs 2008 season preview

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

In 2008, there are high hopes. The thing that people seem to be talking about is the 100 year drought for the Cubs winning the World Series. Of course that is a big deal. Any team that has such an infamous drought is bound to draw attention, but that is really a non-issue. The World [...]

We all remember Maurice Clarett don’t we? Today Terrelle Pryor announced that he’ll be playing football for Ohio State this fall. Pryor claimed that he thought that OSU gave him a better chance to make the NFL.

The Bears sign 2 washed up wide receivers to replace the 2 they just let go

Monday, March 10th, 2008

I think Jerry Angelo should have his General Manager card taken away when it comes to signing offensive players. [...]

Camping out for Mariners tickets

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

So, its 4 am on a Friday night/Saturday morning and I’m sitting at the Mariners Team Store downtown Seattle with Jared waiting in line for single game tickets.

The Bears resolve free agents by signing Briggs and letting Berrian go to the Vikings

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Lance Briggs signed a 6 year, $36 million contract to stay with the Bears. Bernard Berrian was signed by the Minnesota Vikings.
The signing of Briggs helps ease fears about the Bears defense. He has been consistently one of the best outside linebackers in the NFL. Especially with Brian Urlacher’s back and neck issues, the [...]
