“Unorthodox” Practice Events, Another Bengals Player Wants Out, and Other Bears Bullets

My high school alma mater plays a football playoff game today. Here’s hoping that this isn’t the only bit of playoff football I’ll see this year. Desperate times often call for desperate measures. And when desperate times call for desperate measures, things tend to get weird. So you can imagine the look on my face when I saw that Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle was looking to try some “unorthodox” things in an attempt to rid the team of its penalty problem: #Bear...

A Scary Bad Performance, Burakovsky Treats with a Trick Shot, and Other Blackhawks Halloween Bullets

Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years. After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted. Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...

Value of Things: “Fixed” Texans offense

One of the things that old-time hard hitting journalists did was stick to a routine until the situation absolutely warranted it. Those situations would be called “special comments.” I am not a hard hitting journalist and barely qualify as a professional one, but I am taking the opportunity to throw out a special comment. DeMeco […]

Arne Slot Prepares Battered Liverpool for Aston Villa Challenge

Cubs Lose a Coach, MLBPA Blues, World Series, and Other Cubs Bullets

It absolutely sucks that my son has a peanut allergy. No question about it. However, there is one small side benefit after he complete trick or treat: I made out like a bandit last night. Reese and Butterfinger and Snickers everywhere, and I * have to * take them. For safety.
