I would really enjoy working for a sportsbook, or something in the sports gambling world. How would I go about doing that? I know about all the sports, I'm very strong at college football and [read more...]

He's a first-round bust, has caught only 90 passes in four seasons, struts around in cheap post-game attire, and claims that he's too sexy for Asante Samuel, Randall Gay, Hank Poteat, and Troy Brown of the New England Patriots secondary - but I can never [read more...]

SamME Sosa, Baltimore-Bound, Deserves Better

My how things have changed for Sammy Sosa. The man who was once an icon of Chicago Cubs fans, perhaps even Chicago sports fans, is now reportedly close to being shipped to Baltimore, pending the approval of commissioner Bud Selig. The reason: Sosa is now a selfish jerk. According to the fans, to the media, and although nothing is official, the [read more...]

Where Are They Now: Matt Hicks

Matt Hicks - West Aurora, 1973Faster than a speeding double team, more powerful than the average small forward, able to out-leap taller players in a single bound - look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no It's MATT-MAN. So often throughout his entire basketball career Matt Hicks was the superhero go to guy. In the 1973 State [read more...]

The Philadelphia Eagles finally got over their NFC Championship hump and dominated the Atlanta Falcons 27-10. It will be Tom Brady and the rest of Bill Belichick's gang of overachievers [read more...]

Where Are They Now: Maurice “Bo” Ellis

Maurice "Bo" Ellis - Parker H.S. 1973Are legends born to lead or are they made into the sensations that they become? In the case of Bo Ellis, the mold of his legend began to formulate at Chicago's south side Hamilton Park under the watchful eye of Herman Richardson. Before Ellis burst onto the high school hardwood scene his character was [read more...]

A Fishy Ending To The Delgado SagaA Fishy Ending To The Delgado Saga

After much nail biting and some last minute dramatics, the final major free agent signing of this off-season came to a close last night as first baseman Carlos Delgado accepted a four year, $52 million deal with the Florida Marlins. The negotiation had had all the plot twists of a soap opera, with four teams jockeying for Delgado's services and his [read more...]

Astros Left Exposed

If I had a million dollars - if I had a million dollars - it's possible that I would buy you a fur coat…or maybe I would buy myself a house…at the very least I would invest in the expensive ketchups when I eat Kraft dinner (even though I wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner).Now if I had 18 million [read more...]

Is Crede the Best the Sox Can do at Third?

If it is the Joe Crede of 2003-04, then it may be a long season. It appears that he will be the Sox third baseman again. ChiSox.com reports that Crede "hopes to have the same offensive renaissance as Konerko." But Konerko had a higher level to get back to. As a full-time player, Crede has not had a good year yet.

Website Poll

Poker sites for US players are somewhat hard to come by these days. Aside from the big ones, PokerStars and Full Tilt, mainly smaller, fairly unknown sites are available to Americans. It s a good idea to read a poker room review before you sign up with a site you don t know very much about.

Where do you stand on Bill Belichick and videogate?
	He's a cheater who should be punished, and this tarnishes his legacy.
	Sure, he's technically cheating, but everybody is doing it and the effect is minimal.
	Belichick didn't do anything wrong, Mangini is just a bitter, snitching, loser.
	I don't know what to make of it until Roger Goodell makes a ruling.
