From One Perv to Another, Elliott Harris will be missed!











Robert Feder (no one covers media better) is reporting that the Chicago Sun-times Sports section is laying off Mike Mulligan and Elliot Harris, among others, in continuing cuts int he newspaper industry. Mully continues on the WSCR in his morning slot, but with Elliot Harris gone, where will I go for my daily fix of pics of beautiful ladies? Where, I ask, where?!

Praying to My Guardian Angels,













as I trying to get over some morning depression.

Top Sports Towns






Cities to be jealous of (in terms of how good their teams are):

1. Boston, as much as I would hate to admit it, has to be #1. Bruins are the Stanley Cup Champs. The Patriots are the Patriots, with some interesting off-season moves, looking like a prime AFC contender. The Red Sox, despite some pitching issues, have a monster line-up, are at worst a wild-card team. The Celtics, maybe starting to slip a little are still a playoff team. Boston- all major sports teams in the playoffs! That's just sick.
2. Philly. When did the Phillies become the Yankees at every trade deadline? The Flyers were a 2010 Stanley Cup Finalist. The Eagles have been proclaimed by some as the "Dream Team." The weak link among the major sports- the Sixers.
3. Chicago. At least I hope Chicago is #3 on the list, ahead of New York. Da Bulls were in the NBA Eastern Finals and if the NBA lockout ever ends should contend for the NBA ring. Da Bears were in the NFC title game. Okay, the Bears' off season has been less than spectacular but still. Blackhawks were the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion and had a good off-season. Baseball- well, 2008 seems like a long time ago.
4. New York. Ah, screw New York, I got work to do.

Lingerie Basketball?



Well I guess if you are going to have lingerie football, you might as well have lingerie basketball. Or maybe not. Not a fan of either. I guess I prefere my lingerie on late night movies or Maxim magazine. But, that's just me.






Bears Town

Driving back form Miller Park on Saturday night (saw Prince Fielder hit a 475 foot rocket shot), had a "debate" with Badger. My proposition- Chicago, like most Midwestern cities (maybe St. Louis would be the exception) is a "football town" over a "baseball town." In other words, this is a "Bears Town."
Some evidence in support of my proposition- top sports story on the news last night, Olin Kreutz and the Bears predominating over either the White Sox and the Cubbies.
BEARS TOWN

Chicago Sports Fans- Not Happy

Not a great week for Chicago sports- at least from a "feel" point of view.

1. Bears. Training camp has just started and many Bears' fans are already down on the overall lack of free agent signing and more importantly, the departure/trade of Olin Kruetz and Greg Olsen. Let me start by stating that in my opinion, Olin Kruetz was one of the most overrated
Bear players in the last 5 years. Having said that, you don't let a team leader and anchor of an offensive line that you are trying to improve go unless you have a much better option ready to step in. Chris Stewart does not appear to fit that description. The departure of Greg Olsen (and only getting draft choices in return!) has added to the current depression of Bears' fans. At the same time the biggest free agent signing to date- WR Roy Williams released by the Cowboys.
2. White Sox- losing 2 out of 3 to the Red Sox coupled with the continuing unacceptable play of Rios and Dunn fuels frustration in a division that is very winnable.
3. Cubbies- standing pat at the trade deadline, really?! So expect for dumping Fukudome on the tribe, Hendry moves no one? No one wanted Pena or Zambrano? A-Ram not waiving his no-trade clause. Cubs' fans- optimistic for the future?

Go to Hell, Carolina, Go to Hell!




Yesterday, UNC fired football coach Butch Davis (nice timing on that one, huh!?) and today the AD resigned. Good times at Carolina!!

Good Morning!




maybe I should talk about the White Sox trade of Edwin Jackson & Mark Teahen; Cubs' dumping Fuky to the Tribe;or all the NFL comings and goings......

No Reason To Post Pics Of Kristin Cavallari....








Brilliant move by Jay Cutler. Now the first question Jay gets when training camp opens will not be: "How injured were you in the NFC championship game?", but "Why did you break-up with Kristin?" Brilliant!!

Remembering Sweetness!
















Today would have been Walter Payton's 57th birthday. He will always be my favorite football player of all time.

After the White SOx lose 4 straight to the Twins, at least I will get some solace from the Season 8 premiere of Curb!

SOME Redemption for the big guy, but not enough to state that he has "turned the corner."
