The Weekend in Sports
2009-12-07 07:45:00 It was an interesting past week in the sports world with the Tiger Woods scandal hitting new levels each and every day. Not a day went by that we didn't hear about another woman who was allegedly sleeping with the Tiger. Who knows where this whole sordid mess is headed. Here is the latest information on a deal that Tiger reportedly made to keep a story about an affair from being published.In addition, the lurid details about his sex life are now surfacing which has turned the intensely private Woods into a late night talk show punch line. And with the count of women coming forward now at six who knows when this story will leave the news and allow...

What a Weekend in the Sports World
2009-12-01 02:59:00 What a great weekend of intrigue if you are a sports fan, especially a sports fan in the Chicago area. With the Notre Dame job now officially open, the speculation is starting to intensify as to who will replace Charlie Weis. Then you have our Chicago Bears, who were so completely dominated in every facet of yesterday's 36-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings that it is now painfully obvious that the entire front office of the team has to be cleaned out and overhauled. The same goes for the coaching staff, which has seen a Super Bowl team in 2006 slide into oblivion at astonishing speed.Finally, the weekend's most bizarre story comes courtesy of Tiger Woods, who was involved in...
Chicago Sports Fans Could Never Run A Successful Sports Franchise
2009-11-30 17:59:00 What I am about to say may insult you as a Chicago sports fan, but honestly it's gotten to my boiling point and I have to vent. Chicago sports are too much about "What have you done for me lately" and not enough "patience." It seems the only answer Chicago sports fans have for any semblance of struggle is "You're fired!" In the past five years, all our Chicago sport teams have had some sort of success and all our Chicago sport teams have made the postseason. The Bulls/Bears/Blackhawks/White Sox/Cubs have all made the postseason with four of those five going numerous times. Although the only title won came from the South Side, the city has had recent success in...

Who Would You Put On A Chicago Sports Mt. Rushmore?
2009-11-27 06:26:00 A great topic of debate is who are the best athletes in Chicago Sports history. But how do you ask that question? Is it the best athlete? Or is it the most individually dominant in terms of statistics? Or perhaps you ask is it the guy who has won the most championships? So here is how I have decided to ask the question. If you had to carve a Mt. Rushmore of Chicago sports who would be the four men who would have their likenesses carved into your tribute to their greatness?Below I have pictures of the players that I have nominated.

Pro sports lacking in gay tolerance
2009-10-31 00:54:00 A colleague passed along this story about anti-gay sentiment in the NFL. It's a follow-up to the story of Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson getting suspended after using anti-gay slurs -- the "f" word -- on his Twitter account and to a locker room full of reporters. Johnson apologized, was suspended for two weeks, and now is appealing his suspension (the suspension was for "conduct detrimental to the team," and didn't specify whether it was for the anti-gay comments or other Twitter comments bashing his coach). But as the Kansas City Star story notes, anti-gay rhetoric is not unusual in professional sports. "It seems like every single season I'm getting phone calls about some athlete saying a gay slur, and using the word...

Top Ten Sports-Related Halloween Costumes That Don't Suck

Chicago Sports Needs Some Personalities
2009-10-26 05:20:00 While I consider Rick Morrissey a colleague and a friend, we usually disagree on most of the topics we discuss in the sports world. However, his column this morning in the Chicago Tribune was outstanding. For a world class city with the best sports fans in the world, we sure don't have much in the way of colorful personalities who are compelling enough for even the casual fan to pay attention. How big would Chad Ochocinco be on the national stage if he played in Chicago or New York? He would be a mega star.Outside of Ozzie Guillen, name me one guy who you think really keeps it interesting, and is engaging not only with the media, but in the...

Great Moments In Sports We Have Yet To See

Why are our sports figures moving out?
2009-10-18 18:08:00 Is it the weather? The fact that we didn't get the Olympics? Chicago's famous athletes Jim McMahon and Antonio Davis are picking up and leaving some sweet real estate to head down south, according to this Tribune article. They're giving up, and often taking losses on mansions in the suburbs to move to Florida and Georgia. Maybe cost of living down there is cheaper, or maybe there's less chance to losing property value (which I doubt). But I wonder who is moving into these mansions and if they feel like they're getting a good deal. Interestingly, they both used the same listing broker, Brush Hill Realty in Hinsdale, to sell the places. Brush Hill, incidentally, is listing properties worth 10 times...

State of Chicago Sports: Oct. 16
2009-10-16 21:49:00 Lets put the spotlight on the Blackhawks to begin this State of the Union address. First off, the NHL will always be a cult sport. Be honest, can you or any of your in-laws named a past for present goaltender for the Atlanta Thrashers? But the Blackhawks are rapidly moving up the local popularity ladder. Round one, the Hawks Monday night game with Calgary was seen in over 93,000 homes....

Random Thoughts From the Chicago Sports Scene
2009-10-11 22:28:00 Once in a awhile I like to look at some of the happenings in the sports world rather than just concentrating a blog post on just one sport. So here are some thoughts and questions that I have been observing and wondering about for a while.Did you know that the over/under total of wins for the Bears in Las Vegas when the season began was 8 1/2? You have to think that the large numbers of Chicagoans who travel to Vegas must have put some serious money down on the over. The Bears look pretty solid and with Jay Cutler at the controls it would take a real collapse to not win at least 9 games.The total bet in Vegas...

One More Sports Illustrated Story on the USOC's Ham-Fisted Enforcement Effo
2009-09-23 06:15:00 Last Olympic post for a while, I promise. And I’m almost certain it’s the last time this year I’ll quote from Sports Illustrated. But here’s another gem from SI about the USOC’s ham-fisted efforts to enforce its rights to all things Olympic. From its Dec. 5, 1994 issue: “In its quest to bring home the gold, the U.S. Olympic Committee apparently believes it must send out several thousand letters every year implying that it will take legal action against businesses using, in their name or logo, the word Olympic or the interlocking rings, to which a 1978 federal law grants the USOC exclusive rights. This is a petty and merciless job, but the Lords of the Rings evidently feel somebody has to do it.” Seattle doctor Dan Nelson, who at least in 1994 owned a practice called “Olympic Spinal Care,” summed up local sentiment toward the USOC’s enforcement efforts rather nicely: “‘The general provinc...
Olympic Businesses Everywhere: Sports Illustrated Nails the USOC's "Comic O
2009-09-22 07:21:00 A reporter put me onto an excellent Sports Illustrated article written during the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul. Author Leigh Montville writes about being “On the Trail of the O-Word,” in which he concludes that ”[d]espite official efforts to curb unsanctioned use of the word ‘Olympic,’” it is “here, there and everywhere.” To illustrate his point, he riffs on “Olympic” names he comes across in everyday life: Olympic Burger and Burrito. Olympic Fish and Meat Market. Olympic Fruit and Vegetable. Olympic Bar B Que. Olympic Pawn Shop. Olympic Van Lines. His list goes on and on. “Is there any fair-sized town that does not have an Olympic Diner somewhere on its outskirts?” he asks. “One Olympic Diner leads into two Olympic Realty offices, which lead into three Olympic Laundromats. There seem to be no boundaries. These Olympics are everywhere. Around the country. Around the world. The Olympic Di...
