Brett Favre Retirement: Episode 3,592

Once again the worlds biggest asshole has struck.  Will he retire?  Won’t he retire?  How many press conferences will be held in order to discuss rumors about his retirement?  Who gives a shit?

So let’s say for shits and giggles that he does retire.  Where does that put the Bears in the NFC North?

South Side Tom: No B.S. baseball mailbag

The Bulls are Screwed!

So it’s been 5 days since the free agency bonanza has started and the longer it goes on the more and more I think that the Bulls are going to get the scraps of the draft class.  Amare has already agreed to go to the Knicks (really Amare?  really?!)  and it’s looking like Wade and Lebron are going to stay at home and Bosh wants to play with one of them.

So are the Bulls totally screwed?  Or am I totally being paranoid?

Judgement Day!

Today at 11:01 PM the free agency bonanza begins.  Where will Lebron sign?  Who will go with him?  Will the Bulls get the 2 big time free agents they desire?  Why is Paul Pierce declaring for free agency?  What happened at the “summit” between Lebron, Wade, and Bosh?  Where is Arnold Schwarzenegger when you need him?

So who goes where and is this really as important as the press has made it out to be?

Should They Stay or Should They Go?

Hi everybody and welcome to another edition of dumbass fans speculating on things we know nothing about.  Today’s topic is which Chicago Cubs will be traded away before the trade deadline.  With the Cubs continuing to suck while having a salary more bloated than a Midol commercial, there really isn’t a choice but to rebuild around a few key guys.

So who do you build around and who do you let loose?  That is the question.

Bulls Trade Pick and Kirk

Star date 2010, the Chicago Bulls, have, decided to, trade, Kirk Hinrich and their first round pick, to, the Washington Wizards.  What, does this mean, for the Bulls future, and what does it mean for the free agency class.

You were supposed to pause everytime I had a comma.  It was suppose to sound like Captain Kirk from Star Trek aka William Shatner.  Get it?  Good.  So yeah anyway, that happened.

Blackhawks trade Byfuglien, God’s tears flood city

For the 27 “real” Blackhawks fans, the Stanley Cup honeymoon didn’t last long. Reports say the Hawks have traded winger Dustin Byfuglien (and others) to Atlanta for draft picks (and others).

Few things are more devastating to the Internet than a team unloading a fan-favorite. The apocalyptic rain storm that kept everyone at their computers didn’t help ease the endless bitching either.

Welcome to the Big Ten, Nebraska

It finally happened.  Big Ten expansion.  The first team to come over was Nebraska from the Big 12.  So now the Big Ten will have 12 teams in it, effective July 1, 2011.  This expansion has been talked about for a while now, but it also brings up a whole lot of questions.

Bulls hire Thibodeau

Boston Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau was made an offer and he didn’t refuse.  I mean why would you refuse a 3 year deal worth $6.5 million to coach a team that has a core group of players that aren’t just talented but also young, a young point guard who’s one of the most dynamic and exciting players in the NBA and a team that has enough cap space to make a huge splash in the free agency bonanza this summer.

So of course Thibodeau couldn’t sign fast enough. The question is why the hell did the Bulls choose him?

Ramirez to the Minors?

Today is the last day of May.  The Cubs season has been going on for 2 months.  They are 4 games under .500 and 6 games back of first place in their division.  The main reasons are a lack of offense and a shitty bullpen.  The bullpen is in another shake up at the moment so we shall see if that works out but how do the Cubs fix the offense?

Simple, get Aramis Ramirez fixed.  No, not neutered, I meant fix him so that he starts hitting.  How do you do that?  Send him for a rehab stint to the minors?
