May 17, 2014: So close, yet so far
After 40 games, the Cubs sit with a 13-27 mark. That’s good for worst in the majors. Are they really this bad? I’d like to think not. I’d like to think they go on a run at some point and … Continued
May 16, 2014: The Hate Files
Hate is a strong word. I really don’t like using it. However, when it comes to certain individuals and teams that have “hurt me”, hate is an emotion that flows through me. Most times it stems from a devastating loss… … Continued
May 15, 2014: Falling in Place
What else can go right for the Hawks right now? First, the Penguins get elminated (I wasn’t really worried about them), but guess I’d much rather face the Rangers in the Finals WHEN we get there. Then, Seabrook’s dump-in bounced off … Continued
May 14, 2014: Closeout Kings

On this beautiful Sunday Mother’s Day morning, it’s time for some reflection. How did that draft go for DA Bears? Are we going to be able to take care of the Wild? Will the Cubs lose 100 games again? Will … Continued
May 10, 2014: Riddle me this
I don’t get it. How can a team that looks so dominant look so bad? How does a team that looks SO overmatched come back and tie this series? Is it the ratings game for NBC Sports Network? Does home … Continued
May 9, 2014: Back to the Future

May 8, 2014: Draft Day
As we look forward to tonight, and to the season, I want to take a quick look back at the Bears illustrious draft day history. I would talk about who the Bears are going to draft today, but that would … Continued
