My dad once told me “I’m sorry I raised you as a Chicago sports fan.” Though I’ve understood more and more as the years go by that he really did owe me an apology, it hasn’t stopped my love of sports. This section of my site is dedicated to my random sports thoughts. Please comment, agree, disagree, mock as much as you’d like.
Opening Day!
One of the most exciting days of the year for baseball fans, especially Cubs fans. This is the time when there are no records, just hope. Maybe this will be the year that’ll be different from the last hundred. Maybe, just maybe. I have to say that I’ve not been this excited about the Cubs …
Morgan’s Tourney Challenge
The moment you all wait for every year. The beginning of Morgan’s Annual NCAA Tournament Challenge. In that this is the second year I’ve done it. Regardless (or irregardless), here we go! We got 10 entries this year (including me), and loads of irrational picks all over the place (including Illinois in the final four, …
Tourney
Anybody out there up for posting their brackets for the NCAA tourney on here? Last year I had myself, Jonathan, and Andrew. Andrew won, by the way. I’d love to have more this year, and if you win you just get to be honored right here on my site, which has as many as 35 …
Arena Football
I’ve never had this conflict before, but is it bad that I kind of want to follow Arena Football simply because Mike Greenburg and Mike Golic (of Mike and Mike in the morning on ESPN radio) are doing TV announcing?
NFL First Guessing – Off Season
Well, now that a full week has passed, I feel like I can objectively look at the Bears and NFL, as we go into the dark month of February, where nothing that interesting in Sports happens. First off, I wanted to announce the winner between Tim and I in our yearly picks. The finals this …
Sad Day
(cue the “Chistmas Time is Here” music from Charlie Brown Christmas) It is indeed a sad day today. It took a lot of drinking to kill the pain last night. (/sarcasm) However, it was good to at least see the Bears there, and it was nice to watch a superbowl I at least cared about. …
NFL First Guessing – Superbowl
Wow, here we are. Never would have thought I would be blogging about the Bears being in a Superbowl. Good stuff. Now I don’t allow myself to rant all that much about media coverage or reffing or anything like that, because I just hate focusing on that, and it’s just a crappy excuse (listen up …
We’re Going to the Superbowl!!
Well as you can probably guess I am definitely a happy camper at the moment. This is the first time that a team I’ve actively rooted for has gone to the final championship game. I don’t really count the 85 Bears because I barely recollect that, and I don’t count the time the Blackhawks got …
NFL First Guessing – Playoffs Round 3
I’m going to put up another post soon about the feeling of watching that Bears game last week, but let’s just say it was freakin exhausting. But I’ll get into all of this in just a second. Last Week Record: 2-2 Playoff Record: 4-4 New Orleans @ Chicago Well you knew I would pick them …
