F-Yeah Friday Links

I'm supposed to be in training right now, but the other guy in my class didn't show up today, so I'm sitting here job shadowing, and it's about as exciting as watching a season of Major Dad. I would go crazy on some posts, but my boss isn't far from me so I have to look the part at this point. With that said, here's some links for you to enjoy, as well as Bo Ryan doing the Soulja Boy (yes it needs to go, but this is actually really funny)..Have a great weekend.

- Poor Joe Pa not only has to deal with being old, but The Big Lead finds he's also paid terribly

- The Angry T takes a look their top five worst NFL analysts, and while I don't agree with having Da Coach on there, the #1 selection was an easy one to predict. Where's JC Pearson on this list? He's god awful.

- Having some personal issues recently? Fret no more, as the Ghosts of Wayne Fontes have found athletes who know how to make you a better person



- Mac G has some problems with the officiating last night in the Dallas/Green Bay game, and while it does have some effect on the game, their defense is only place to look for the reason why. Bigby sucks.

- Place your bets on the end of Isiah's run as Docksquad wants to see when you think he'll be gone. I say a it's a gift to Knicks' fans on Christmas.

Week 13 Picks From The Doctor

Once again, my picks have fallen. Noce was spot on with his call of 37-27 Dallas, and a tip of the cap to you sir. All I can do at this point this point is take gambles and hope they pay off. As far as I'm aware, I'm down 9 games at this point. On a positive note, I'm 8-4 against the spread at Epic Carnival, so take the good with the bad. Anyways, for those you who give shit about our picks, which I doubt you do, but just in case, once again I apologize for us giving the bird to Week 12. To be honest, I probably would have fucked up more picks, so it might have been better for me to have not picked at all. Whatever. On a side note, Scarlett stop fucking drooling on my bedsheets, please. Every time I roll over I'm fucking drowning.

PS I will make my three picks for EC. If you like to make some plays, take my word for it; you will make money, and if you don't email us and I'll have Noce pay the difference.

SF @ CAR: 17-10 49'ERS

Real Quickly, Picks For The Cowboys/Packers Game

We will resume our weekly picks, so expect to see them up before Sunday. I haven't turned on the TV since getting home a couple minutes ago, so here's the picks. The only way I'm going to come back this year is if I pick against him, sucks to say it, but I'm taking the Pack even though I Dallas has this one. Oh well, gotta bite the curb sometimes.

NOCE: 37-27 DALLAS

DR.C: 31-28 GREEN BAY

How Much Longer Will Weber Last?

I'm a big fan of Bruce Weber. I got to cover his last season while he was at SIU before moving 180 miles north of Carbondale to Champaign-Urbana. The guy was very accomdating, funny, and always gave well thought out soundbites. Unlike Chris Lowery, he understood that some of the clowns that work in the College media will never materialize, or are not polished at that moment (me being one of them as a freshmen) but he always works with you, and appreciated you were trying. When he left to go to Illinois, I was happy for him. He deserved it considering what he accomplished at So Ill, and the program would not be where it is now if it were not for him. However, as he deserved his praise for turning around a non-existant Saluki program since back in the day when Clyde Frazier took them to the NIT Championship; he also deserves criticism. Let's face it: that great 04-05' team that came up just short was all Bill Self's recruiting. As the Illini lost for the second time this year last night to Maryland 69-61, it seems apparent that Bruce could be on the hot seat if Illinois doesn't do well this year, and the only direction he can point to is back at himself.

BRUCE WEBER IS THE OPPOSITE OF RON ZOOK FOR RECRUITING:
It must have been reassuring to Bruce that his brother; the head coach of the Glenbrook North Boys Basketball team, happened to have one of the best seniors in the country, not to mention the 2006 Illinois Mr. Basketball award winner, given to the best player of the year. What's not so reassuring? When he signs his letter of intent to play for Duke. How do you fuck that up? You + your brother can't convince him to play at Illinois, having won 112 games since 2003, which ties them with Duke and Florida for the most in D-1 Men's College Basketball. Now add in the fact of many others who opted out of the orange and blue; most namely Derrick Rose (Memphis), Eric Gordon (Indiana) and plenty of other Chicago/downstate products. What does Weber have to show for his in-state recruits? Next to nothing. And how about outside of the Land of Lincoln? Where's the ability to recruit in the Midwest?

The opposite is what shows up for Ron Zook. He got landed Benn, a D.C. product; he landed Martez Wilson, a D-end highly touted from Simeon in Chicago, rated 6th on Rivals.com in his senior year. It's funny to think how different these two coaches' career paths have traveled. Zook took over a national program in Florida (high point), didn't live up to the expectations he inherited and was fired (low point), took over an Illini football program that hadn't been prominent since 2001, and now has them possibly BCS bound again (high point). Weber, a long time assitant to Gene Keady finally got his first break at a non existant SIU program (high point for him, not so much for many). He lead them to their first sweet sixteen in 25 years, which lead to the Illinois job, and took them to the National Championship (definitely high point despite the outcome). Now, he can't recruit the blue chip players to come to Chambana, and the Illini program is getting nowhere fast, as evidenced by their first round exit at the hands of Virginia Tech last year in the NCAA Tournament (low point, and an added blow that his previous team kicked their ass in the next round).

The Illini basketball program has proven on paper to be in the upper echleon of College Basketball thus far in the 21st century. It should be a place where High School seniors opt to go; not having to be schmoozed. Yet Bruce will not schmooze; he will tell you he'd like you come to Illinois, but he's going to beat your ass into the hardwood with drills. You think O.J. Mayo would say, boy that sounds swell! Fuck no. Blue chip recruits want to be treated that way as superstars. They've already had a good portion of the public be able to recite their name to this point, why should they have to work as hard as some gym rat from Decatur? Hence, the fallout has begun for Bruce Weber. What makes Zook different from Weber? My take is the opportunity to start immediately, because his expectations are completely different. Bruce is expected to win constantly. Zook has plenty of leeway, and in turn, he can tell blue chips they'll start instantly, which is music to their ears. Who cares how the football team finishes? Everyone expects the Illini football team to suck. With expectations come come consequences. Zook has overperformed, and from the looks of things in the future, Weber has underachieved. Good luck Coach Weber. The odds for turnaround are against you.

A mix of random thoughts, From Your Doctor

When I promise to be accountable for my actions, I stand up to it. Of course, that rufies case with that hot 17-year old who told me she was 19 is completely different. But in terms of blogging, I'm a man of my word. I said I would post every night, and damn it I mean it, even if I am uncapable of driven a vehicle. Makes it more fun for you and I to read tomorrow morning. PS Every word I type I fuck up at this point, so if there's typos, bear with me, I'm doing my best. See, every Tuesday at this bar within 10 minutes of me, there's a Cricket Tournament (Darts for all you shiteaters who don't know better). I fucking blow if I'm not wasted. If I have a good amount of alcohol in me, I can hold my own. Did I play tonight? Nope, I was actually watching Merry Christmas Charlie Brown when one of my friends asked me to go (Say all that you want, I have priorities around holidays mf'ers). So I went and here I am now, a couple pitchers and jack and cokes deep. Fuck if I care, I'm in training, and we don't do shit at this point. Where the fuck was I going with this? Who the hell knows, anyways, I think what I was aiming at was these points of my day in thoughts of sports today and what we encounter as men.

- THE PASSING OF SEAN TAYLOR: I'm not a redskins fan, but I am a fan of the U. Why? Who fucking knows, I just think Miami has the sickest bunch of guys who play the meanest defense every year, and I love it. Exactly why I loved Sean Taylor. The Meast killed people on the field for the 'Skins, just as he did for the U, and I don't give a fuck about what he did off the field. The dude was a champ on it, and I sorta feel how My Brain Says Rage does on the subject. It's weird to feel down about somebody you've never met. Steg and Ray, I'm with you guys. Terrible to see such a great athlete go down the way he did.

BROADS HOOKING YOU UP WITH OTHER BROADS: Sorry to switch so differently, but I'm going off of my thoughts as they come, so bear with me here. You know what's a bunch of bullshit? When Broads push another one onto you giving you a look like she wants to fuck you. It's one thing you tell she's into me, it's another when you give looks like yeah it's all yours and then find out they're fucking psychotic about their ex-boyfriend. Why the fuck are you sending me into the Malibu flames with a bottle of Evian? What do you honestly think is going to happen? Here's my questioning, and if you have thoughts, lay it on me. 1: You think you're friend will mesh well with me, but instead of going slowly, you have us fucking in the lion's lair with 5 minutes for our lives. Don't give me that impression and those fucking facial expression that I get to blow it on her face later. If you she's in, tell me, don't play the 25,000 pyramid with me, you fuck. 2: I forgot where I was going with this, but I'll improvise. The chick she told me to talk to pretty much all but cups my balls and ass at the same, then starts on the phone seeing what their ex-boyfriend is doing.

Let's sum this up: A: I've wasted my time when I could be drinking more or talking to other chicks, B: My friends think I'm a Dick Lawyer, which is a term we use for one of our friends who chases pussy after they're in an ambulance. I was going to put a C: option, but I've ran out of thoughts, and I have to get up soon. Anyways, I know it's a random post, but I promised something, and I hope you enjoy my randomness.

One final thing, I doubt you'll give a shit, but I too have split my artery in the leg. I had my Femur busted as a running back when I was 11. That really hit home for me personally to hear how it happened considering how much blood I lost too. Your body has 16 pints of blood, I lost 10 of them when the bone cracked into a y-shaped fracture. The good lord blessed me with a resurgence of my own blood rebuilding, and I hope nothing for the best for Sean's kid, his fiancee, and his family.

Are The 07' Bulls Any Different From the 07' Cubs?

For any team that has high expectations, a slow start always finds a place for blame to be established. While it's hard to compare a slow start with basketball to football, it is easier to compare it with baseball. And what team better to compare the Bulls against, than a team who played only a couple months ago who also had lofty expectations, started slow, then managed to catch up, only to lose in the first round of the playoffs? Yep, your good ole 2007 Chicago Cubs. While it's true the Bulls are notorious for their terrible starts, this team just strikes me as a mirror image from the diamond to the court. Let's take a look at how they compare at the Bulls current point, to where the Cubs where after their first month:

CUBS THROUGH APRIL: 0-6 in one-run games, 1-9 in one to two-run games. In short, a team that couldn't score when it needed to which players blamed on the cold weather.

BULLS THROUGH NOVEMBER: 2-10 overall, averaging 86.5 ppg,with a -10.0 ppg differential which = WORST IN THE NBA. In short, another team who can't score.

PLAYERS WE EXPECTED MORE OUT OF IN THEIR FIRST MONTH:

CUBS: ALFONSO SORIANO/BULLS: LUOL DENG: Soriano spent most of April not doing jackshit except striking out and nursing whatever injuries he had. He hit a few homers, and that was about it. Considering his price tag, you would have liked to seen a bit more to help so the Cubbies could come out of the blocks better.

As for Luol, whatever killer instincts we as Bulls fans would think to have seen by now is all but forgotten; a strange dream we can keep thinking could have happened at some point only to realize it was fiction. That's exactly what Deng has been; an afterthought thus far this season. He hasn't learned to take over games, he seems passive at times, and I don't know that he has made more of an impact then Chris Duhon has (a definite reach, but when you consider expectations, it's a little more down-to-earth).

PLAYERS WHO HAVEN'T SHOWN UP, AND WON'T SHOW UP:

Derrek Lee and Kirk Hinrich: While his RBI's this year were pretty much his average from 2000-05 (only played 50 games in 06'), his home runs were down by eight in 2007 from that span. You could argue he had a better year then usual with 43 doubles, a .317 average, along with 180 hits; but how many games can you remember when he came through in the clutch? Yeah, decent numbers, but look comparatively to his numbers in the NLDS this past year: .333 avg, 0 HR, 0 RBI's, ZERO IMPACT.

Kirk Hinrich is shaping up for an even worse year thus far: 10.9 ppg, .349 fg %, .211 3 pt %, 5.5 apg. All numbers down from his career averages. Outside of his stupid fouls, Hinrich is a ghost on the court, and while his career would indicate he'll bounce back, I don't see any impact that he makes on this team that Gordon or the aforementioned down Deng won't be able to do.

TWO COACHES WHO HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON:PINIELLA/SKILES:

Skiles has no answers, while Lou could barely speak sentences. But honestly, what do you expect these guys to say or do? Skiles can't make them shoot better no matter how many drills he puts them through, while Lou couldn't make the Cubs hit for most of the season. He could have had them practice bunting, but that would have been too much for a major league team to focus on, apparently. The difference in these two lies in experience, which Lou has Skiles lapped over on several times. Lou is also more calm these days, while Scotty looks like he hasn't taken a shit in over two weeks. The Cubs had the advantage of a Brewers team which prematurely finished like 'Special K' in Can't Hardly Wait. The Bulls will not have that luxury, as the Pistons know they better quickly head back to the NBA Finals before getting too old, not to mention the Celtics' early dominance. How does a jump shooting team get better? If you have a thought, please forward to Scott Skiles, he's dying to hear from you (and if you have a constipation remedy, send that one even sooner).

An Apology For the Last Week...

I've really just needed a break from blogging. There's been alot of bullshit in my mind on how I view what other sports bloggers perceive of each other, and to be perfectly honest, it's more fucking childish then the Wiggles. Yeah, those pole smokers. I can't believe all these people who think they're the next fucking Stephen King with their bitchin' novels, and to be honest, I just wanted to be done with this whole thing for a couple seconds. But, after taking a break, I've decided to continue on and focus my efforts towards this site, with of course my reports for Epic Carnival. Alright, I'm good to go, but one last word to all you douchebag fucksticks who think you're hot shit. Enjoy your 30 dollars of monthly revenue on your lastest Mascara products, you talentless Home Depot night shift managers.

Moving on, I would like to reaffirm to those of you who have been typing us in, or coming through differents sites such as 670 the Score to inform you that I am officially back in full force, Monday through Friday, and if I feel like it, something randomly on the weekends. Fuck, it's great to be back. Since Noce and myself have been useless, let's fill you in on the shit we've been doing since our time off.

- I lost my ATM card last Saturday on the way to Mickey's on Clark, and have had to assume the role as the local mooch to make ends meet until that fucker comes in the mail. I think Thanksgiving has fucked up the time process too, which absolutely sucks more dick then Michael Jackson in Toys-R-Us with the lights off in the store. Noce has notarity(sp?) for being a mooch. In fact, I have him a spreadsheet for money he borrows so I can track my shit (ok not really, but the more I see of him the more some future implementations have to be considered).

- Noce went to South Dakota to watch his one of younger brothers play hockey. The kid's pretty damn good apparently, I mean why the hell else would one move to South Dakota, other then to escape Jewish and Black people? (not a racist comment, but tell me how many goldstein's or william's you find in a local phonebook there..racist there? slightly). While he spent his time in modern communications hell, I myself spent most days either asleep or drunk. Now that's what I call vacation!

For those of you who have been checking in, thanks for sticking with us; unlike the Bulls we promise to come out of this funk.

Give Thanks for the NFL, Food, and Nice Asses

Today I was on my normal walk from Union Station to where I work now, which is about a 30-35 minutes stroll through the loop. In this weather, it's not alot of fun, but anything beats the shithole of a building I was at before, so no complaints here. But today's morning treat was following behind this gorgeous blonde for a good 5-10, and she had an ass worth 10 years of jail for. Not saying I would go to such lengths, but just to give you a mental image of her nicely pear-shaped behind. So that's why I'm giving thanks for a new job that allows me to eyefuck random girls behinds. I'm also thankful for plenty of other things, none of which you give two shits about, so with that in mind, let's jump ahead to the turkey triple line-up:

Green Bay @ Detroit: These two teams have met 18 times on Thanksgiving day, with the Lions winning 11 of those contests, including their last meeting in 2003. However, the Lions have lost their last two games, and Green Bay is off to their best start since the days of Bart Starr and Ray Nitcshke. With that in mind, the Pack should have no problem with the Lions. 28-17 Packers

New York Jets @ Dallas: The rest of our schedule is either set up perfectly, or it's complete bullshit. Here's the two sides of the coin. You'll probably be eating anywhere in between 4:30-6:30, unless you're a terrorist, then you won't eat your goat until 9. You'll be fucking stuffed, and the lame ass game of Cowboys-Jets will be the perfect antidote to your Black Wednesday hangover. If you're not getting trashed tonight, I'm sure your goat will taste just fine later on that night. 38-10 Cowboys

Indianapolis @ Atlanta: If Bryant Gumbel is caling this one, don't even bother with it. It's not really worth watching in the first place, and his presence will make you want to consider trepanning. If you've never heard of trepanning, read the article, it's pretty interesting. 45-3 Colts

Turkey Day NFL Picks

Since this week marks the beginning of Thursday games, picks will have to come a little earlier than usual. I was going to pick every NFL game this week but I took the day off work and ended up playing Guitar Hero III all day, my wrist hurts more than Shaq's ex-wife's vag after sex. So I'll do the Thursday games now and the rest tomorrow after I've eaten my weight in stuffing. Happy Thanksgiving everyone - even you Native Americans out there!



Green Bay @ Detroit: Detroit has lost the last three games on Thanksgiving Day and will lose another one to Brett Favre and his band of fudge Packers. God I hate the Packers - how the hell are they good? 31-27 Packers

NY Jets @ Dallas: The Jets had seven sacks in last week's game against Pittsburgh, which is pretty amazing because before that game they had nine in nine games. If the Jets can get after Tony Romo they'll be better off, but something tells me they might be better off leaving Romo in the pocket - he seems to be better when he has to scramble. 38-13 Cowboys

Indianapolis @ Atlanta: This is the first game that will air on the NFL Network this season so fans in Indy and Hot-Lanta will sure to be pissed off because premium cable aint cheap. This game won't be worth watching though because the Falcons wouldn't even be going to a BCS Bowl this year and Indy suddenly looks a lot less exciting. 30-10 Colts

Garland For Cabrera, Who Wins In The Long Run?

Only time will tell how this trade favors either the White Sox or the Angels. Before the start of the 2007 season, Garland had as many wins as any other pitcher in the MLB during those two years. In 07', he struggled through much of the year, ending up with a 10-13 record with a 4.23 ERA. While his ERA was better then last year, his wins and losses were drastically down from the 18-7 record he posted in 06'. On the other hand, Orlando Cabrera comes to the White Sox having won his second Gold Glove, and posting his career best BA of .301, something any White Sox fan would welcome considering the dogshit they posted as a team this year. Cabrera has a World Series ring from the Boston curse exorcism in '04, and doesn't strikeout easily, as he has never struck out more then 64 times in an enitre season.

What does this mean for the South Siders? A guy who can play defense and put the ball in play, something desparately needed in the offense last year. Jon Garland will never be forgotten for his role in the '05 Sox, as he was a huge help in getting them to their first World Series in over eight decades. However, as a Sox fan, I saw nothing that indicated to me that Garland would be anything more than a middle of the rotation pitcher for the rest of his career, and if anything he will get worse before he gets better. Yes, he did have a nice two-year run from '05-06, but he flat out sucked this past year. He has trouble locating his pitches, and can't overcome having a bad sinker, his go-to pitch. With Cabrera, the Sox will be able to dump Uribe soon with the development of Danny Richar coming into second, and will have someone who can lay down a bunt when needed, and will fight deep into the pitch count.

Overall, I think Kenny made a good trade. Garland has proven he will never be better then he has been, and getting a Gold Glove winner from the past season in return is a pretty solid return on your investment. The Sox will need to find another good quality starter however; while Garland wasn't a champ this year, he did eat up 200+ innings, and I don't think Jose Contreras can take over the workload. Look for the Sox to lock up Torii Hunter soon, and Kenny will continue to look for trades to fill Garland's spot.

R.I.P. 2007 Bears Season

At 4-6, it's time to look ahead, not consider what's happening now. The Bears would have win their next 5 of 6 to have a chance to clinch a wildcard, but with the inconsistently they've shown, it's hard to believe they are capable of such a feat. The interesting question I would impose on my fellow bears fans is who should take the brunt of the blame? Rex for his shitty start? Cedric Benson producing the worst yards per carry in the NFL? The offensive line? The injuries? Lovie and the coaching staff? I'll itemize my blame, and if you have some thoughts, throw them out there as well. My blame goes like this:

1. Offensive line
2. Quarterback play
3. Defensive play/injuries
4. Lovie and Ron Turner
5. Benson

1. OFFENSIVE LINE: It's impossible to get anything going when your o-line sucks. Pressure on the QB, not opening holes, and in conjunction with not opening holes, the bread and butter of the Bears offense, the play action, not working as a result. If you can't block, no one respects your ability to play action. This is exactly what has happened to the Bears, and there's no circumventing it. No run, no problem. Although many would point to the departure of Thomas Jones, the blocking was much better last year, and it's hard to say what would be different if TJ was here considering what has happened. He hasn't exactly blown up the Jets offense, but once again, only one person has made water out of wine, and the other attempting to do the same has a knee injury for the Viqueens. Benson has been a bust to say the least, but you can only lay so much on him for what is available to him. Passing wise, it's impossible for the Bears to have any continuety when the defense is constantly in the face of the quarterback. Say all you want about Griese or Grossman, but it doesn't matter who you have in the game when there is no option but to throw it up and hope for the best.

2. QUARTERBACK PLAY: Since most of my blame lays on the old ass o-linemen, the rest falls on the quarterbacks. Grossman started with 1 td against 6 picks, and while Griese had better numbers, it's hard to argue he was that much better then Rex. While his completion percentage was better, he wasn't making the big plays that made defenses respect what he could do. The only feather in his cap would easily be the long drive against the Eagles to win the game with under 2 minutes left and no timeouts. I honestly don't think Rex could have made that happen, and for that I give Griese the edge. But getting a slight edge over Rex does not a good quarterback make.

3. DEFENSIVE PLAY/INJURIES: With an inadequent offense on the field, it was apparent in the first game the defense had to do everything in order for the team to justify itself as the defending NFC Champions. Mike Brown and Dusty Dvoracek went down in the first game of the year. Tillman was out for a couple games, Vash hasn't played in weeks, and the little bitch with his hurt back Urlacher has been a shadow of himself in years past. When you have to trot Trumaine "Fuck me in the ass he got past me again" McBride on the field, bad things are bound to happen. Mike Brown has been Joe Glass for a while, and it would have been nice to have him stay healthy, but he's shown a propensity for injury, hence they should have never traded Chris Harris away. Archuleta sicks more dick then a Harlem hooker, and the Bears are relying on a pass rush from a non-existant Mark Anderson, and a less then 100% Tommie Harris.

4. LOVIE AND RON TURNER: I take these two for the most blame since Big Bad Bob hasn't had much to work with (FUCK YOU McBRIDE). I would lay more on Turner then Lovie since Lovie doesn't seem to do anything at all. Turner is responsible for the offense showing up, which it hasn't done all year. Benson finally showed something this past Sunday, at one point with 6 carries for 79 yards and a TD. Granted that was inflated by his biggest run of the year, but at least Ron running him more would have opened up the Play Action a little more later on in the game. If you get Ron Turner's offensive strategy, please apply to Google.com.

5. CEDRIC BENSON: A big whoops, my bad should be proclaimed by Jerry Angelo at the end of the year thanks in part to investing a shit ton of money into an unproven back who was given the starting spot without having to earn it. I saw his only 100 yard game in the second game of the season against KC, and I don't think at any point in the game I was impressed at that point. In fact, I don't even want to talk about him anymore. He sucks, bottom line. Rashaan Salaam, Curtis Enis, Cedric Benson. More names just like all the quarterbacks you care to never remember again. Somewhere Moses Moreno laughs to think he was once apart of that conversation.

Week 11 Picks

I accomplished this and then some, but I've been basically useless all day today - even too useless to sit and move my fingers around on a keyboard. This week's pick will be abbreviated because I have a party to attend tonight. Fuck you who actually care I know that nobobdy reads this shit I'm just going to keep doing this so I can brag to Dr. C that I'm smarter than him.

Week 11 Picks From The Doctor

Week after week, I manage to gain nothing. In fact, I just took another loss of a game in the standings. Fuck this blows. I'm like the Miami Dolphins of NFL picks recently, so that was the inspiration to the left. I thought I would be posting alot more stuff, but instead I've been lazy laying around sleeping. Speaking of sleeping, I saw a report last night on nightline as I was flipping around channels, and there's some fucking goofball who set a world record for continuous night without sleep. The dude hadn't slept in 11 fucking days. I'm pretty much an insomniac myself, but there's no way I could go longer then 3 days without sleep. I get delusional and shit on day three. But this jackass claims his motor functions have gotten better. Maybe it's one of those cases where the dude was such a fucking klutz he actually did get better. He looked like the Big Lebowski's lost cousin. Pretty funny. Anyways, here's the standings between me and Noce, and as usual I make my three plays for Epic Carnival. I finished 2-1 again last week, making me 8-4 overall with my picks. PS, IF YOU DO DECIDE TO MAKE A PLAY, TAKE TAMPA, THAT'S SO MONEY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT!!

Noce: 95-47
Dr. C: 87-55

Miami @ Philadelaphia: LINE: PHI -10 35-6 Eagles

Tampa Bay @ Atlanta: For the first time all year, I took the Falcons to win, and Alge Crumpler secured my pick on a last second TD as they won 20-13. This week, a return to sanity. LINE: -3 TB 28-10 Bucs

Cleveland @ Baltimore: Derek Anderson should have no problem in this one throwing for 225 and 3 tds. Jamal Lewis would probably like to show up his former team on the ground, but he's looked like shit lately and that won't change. Browns 24-13

New York Giants @ Detroit: Both teams are coming in at 6-3 and off of double digit losses. Detroit ran for an impressive negative 18 yards in the game against the Cardinals while Romo torched the Giants Secondary. Despite having home field advantage, I think the Giants Defense will stop Detroit's offense. 27-17 Giants

San Diego @ Jacksonville: San Diego has been the toughest team this season to predict, with Kansas City coming in second. I never know which team will show up. My head tells me Jaguars, and though I'm tempted to take San Diego, I'll go with the Jags. 21-17 Jaguars

New Orleans @ Houston: The Saints choked against the hapless Rams last week. Let's hope they don't choke again for my sake. 31-21 Saints

Kansas City @ Indianapolis: Manning had his worst game of the season, if not his worst ever. Expect Peyton to come out pissed off and take it out on the ugly red-headed stepchildren called the Chiefs. 38-17 Colts

Carolina @ Green Bay: Just wait for the playoffs, Packers fans. It'll all end at the hands of the Cowboys, and I will love every second of it. 28-7 Packers

Oakland @ Minnesota: No Purple Jeezy, No problem. Chester Taylor hasn't done much all year, he'll be ready to run on that shitty Raider Run D. 20-13 Vikings

Arizona @ Cincinnati: If Detroit couldn't get positive yardage on the ground against the Cardinals, how will the 28th ranking rushing team in the NFL do? Yeah, not so much. LINE: -3.5 CIN 27-16 Cardinals

Pittsburgh @ New York Jets: Rape can defined in many ways: 1. using rufies to put in a girl's drink and then taking her home after she passes out. 2. Throwing a rock at Megan Fox's head after she just got done smoking pot. 3. The Steelers lining up against the Jets. 38-10 Steelers

Chicago @ Seattle: Gut Check time, Bears fans. My interest in the rest of this season hinges on the arm of number 8. I'll be stocking up on Rolaids before kick-off in this one. 24-20 Bears

St. Louis @ San Francisco: If you watch this game, you deserve an Elephant penis in your mouth. 21-9 Rams

Washington @ Dallas: Tony Romo would have to come down with Bird Flu for the Cowboys not to win this one. 34-20 Cowboys

New England @ Buffalo: I'm no fan of the Patriots, but I want them to go undefeated because I'm so fucking sick of the 72 Dolphins running their mouth about their stupid fucking record. Especially when they pop their champagne bottle and do an elephant walk around the room. Just uncalled for. 41-17 Patriots

Tennessee @ Denver: This one interests me as much as the AIDS epidemic in Africa. 21-16 Titans

The Case of the Warm Beer

There are few things in life as bad as a warm bottle of beer. Luckily for us, a 22-year old kid from New Zealand named Kent Hodgson has invented a device that takes nasty, undrinkable warm beer and cools it in a matter of seconds. With a cooling capacity 4X that of ice, the 'Huski' has officially put "ice" aka frozen water on notice. Coolers too for that matter.

If only the U.S. had a legal drinking age of 18, like New Zealand does, this invention surely would have come to fruition sooner. Just reading how Hodgson explained how the device works makes me think of how stupid I am for not coming up with this myself.



"You have plastic cooling cells which are pressed down into the dock which houses the liquid carbon dioxide," Hodgson said. "The liquid CO2 expands and is pressurised into dry ice in the base of the cooling cells ... in a moment. You then pop it into your drink and then proceed from there as you normally would."

Remember kids, all it takes to be rich is one good idea. Like that guy who invented the pet rock - he made $1 million dollars - never had to work again.

Here's hoping that this Kiwi's device actually works and doesn't break, spilling toxic chemicals into the beer, thus rendering a seemingly normal drinker lifeless on the floor. I think I'll wait to buy one until Apple comes out with it's own version of the 'Huski' titled iCool.

No Kobe, No Championship

As the Boston Celtics easily defeated the Pacers last night 101-86, a sad but true realization dawned on me. Granted I was working on my 8th drink of the night, but when I woke this afternoon (fucking love not having work!) I remembered what I thought, and I still think I'm right. After reading Noce's column, I feel the complete opposite of he does, and I'll itemize that later on. But here's my reasoning. Boston would kill the Bulls in a playoff series. Detroit is still arguably better despite the Bulls having claimed their only victory this year off of them. That's two teams right there in a weak Eastern Conference. It all comes down to one player in the end, as basketball is the only professional sport that one can will his team to victory. THE BULLS NEED KOBE, AND KOBE NEEDS THE BULLS.

Sucks to think about, but it's the absolute truth. While the Lakers stumble their way through the winter months, Kobe is going to drive that team to trade him despite what value they should get in return. Paxson has seen this team get nowhere fast this year, be it the usual "slow start" or trade talks, contract negotiations, whatever. They're 1-5, and they don't look too fucking good. Think of Paxson as a lion who has been eyeing a weakling in a pack of Wildebeests. He's just bidding his time to pick it off. Here's my reasons for why the Bulls need Kobe.

- Celtics: After making the trades for Garnett and Ray Allen, alot of the so called experts on the Extra Sexual Party Network were still claiming the Bulls as the front runners in the Eastern Conference. As to why they werent claiming the Celtics: Depth. Certainly a good point, and one that can't be disputed. Ray Allen hasnt' played a full 82 games since 2000, Paul Pierce cares as much for defense as I do for ugly fat jewish girls, and Garnett has been carrying a team his entire NBA career. The likes of Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins would even leave Eddy Curry salvating (granted it doesn't take much to get that going). Nevertheless, the Celtics don't have to win 72 games. They could first in Eastern Conf. with 55. If that means giving Ray Allen the month of January to relive his Jesus Shuttlesworth days of fucking hot blondes, so be it. They've shown that this is their conference to lose. Look at what one single player has done to the Bulls (Cuttino Mobley, Rasheed Wallace). Now throw in two more who are capable getting hot.



- Teams who've won without a superstar: ABA 1975 Kentucky Colonels (anytime you can throw the Kentucky Colonels in, do it) 1979 Supersonics, 2004 Detroit Pistons. That's about it. It doesn't happen.

I'm sick of watching the Bulls go nowhere. I'm sick of people being content to say, hey, at least we made it to playoffs! WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK?! What fucking difference does it make whether they finish 6th in the Central Division or eliminated in the Conference Finals despite being a 6th seed? This team needs to win it now. Not next year, or the year after that. NOW. They already shown us they're not going to do it this year. Give me all the arguments you want. I will gladly bet against you and win. Trust me, I would love to see them win it all with the pieces they already have in place. But like they say, hope in one hand, shit in the other. 1-5 feels like shit to me.

Zack Morris = Soulja Boy?

Shout out to Docksquad's Sports World for this awesome find. There is nothing in the world that hasn't been, in some way or another, included into the Soulja Boy song. This works perfectly with my story I posted on My Brain Says Rage as part of their My Brain Says Contest.

Nothing says 'supersoak that ho' like watching Zack get that chocolate shake poured on him. Oh and the Slater spandex is a nice touch too. Enjoy.

Greed Kills

Hi folks Noce here, I've had a pretty nice day today relaxing at home all day. I decided to take a day off because I have been busting my ass lately at work and I figured this would give me a nice break and make my week feel shorter, thus leaving me more refreshed and happy when I'm at work.

There is one thing that has been bothering me lately and I haven't been able to shake it. Usually I adhere to a strict regimen of alcohol abuse and avid TV-watching in order to keep me relatively happy, but even that hasn't been able to make my pain go away. Maybe if I tell you what my pain is, I will stumble on the answer I've been looking for this whole time in the bottom of a bottle of Budweiser. You see, I really like the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls are my favorite NBA team and they're right up there amongst my favorite sports teams but the thing I really hate is when so-called "fans" act like TOTAL AND COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOTS. I haven't made it to a Bulls game yet this year. I was going to go on Saturday but it didn't work out because I was already drunk at 5pm after the Illini upset THE Ohio State Fuckeyes. I'm actually glad I didn't make it to the game because the Bulls got their asses kicked.

The other reason I'm glad I didn't make it to the game because if I had, I would most likely be getting out of jail right now after being involved in an altercation with one of the cock-sucking, bandwagon-hopping, know-nothing sons of bitches who were actually chanting KOBE during the Bulls game.

When the story first came out about a few echos of a Kobe chant from the rafters I brushed it off as nothing. Years of going to Bulls games and seeing the type of carny-folk that can stumble out of such villages as Cicero, Berwyn and Carol Stream, has made me immune to the alcohol-induced idiots that know nothing about what is actually going on in the game. Granted, this is only like 5% of the typical fan base of the Bulls, which is about standard for most pro teams unless you're talking about the Cubs, in which case it jumps to around 60-70%.

But when I heard that Saturday's game featured a chorus of KOBE chants that went on for long parts of the game, I started getting really pissed. If you were a real fan of the team and actually knew anything, you would know that the Bulls always start off badly. This is not to excuse them for their poor start this year but for fuck's sake it's only been SIX GAMES. The Bulls' record has a lot less to do with GM John Paxson's attempts to deal for Kobe and a lot more to do with the fact that both Luol Deng and Ben Gordon turned down eight-figure deals right at the start of the season. I thought the Bulls were centered around the fact that what is good for the team takes precidence over what is good for the individual?



I guess that all changes once rookie contracts start to expire. For as much as Deng has been celebrated for his off-court achievements and his crystal-clear character, he pretty much fucked the Bulls over by turning down that deal. NBA talking heads have said that Deng needs to start learning the "me-first" attitude on the court and take over on offense, well I think he's already got that attitude down pat in the contract talks.

All Deng had to do was sign the deal, take the $50 million plus and after three years he would have gotten an even bigger deal as long as he continued to develop the way people are projecting him to. But now there's going to be a season-long annoyance as his name, along with Gordon's - who also fucked the Bulls by turning down another monster deal (but I don't really care about him because I kind of want him to go) - will be involved in more trade talks which will only make the two players more of a distraction.

So before stupid asshole fans begin to rip Paxson and Scott Skiles they should take a look at the actual players wearing the red and black jerseys. Paxson put this all together and he is responsible for the outcome, I'll give you that much. But he and Skiles can only do so much, the guys on the court have to produce like they're being PAID MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to do.



And What the fuck is Ben Wallace doing? The so-called "leader" didn't even nominate himself to be voted as a captain. Clearly he is just showing up to go through the motions and collect his huge paychecks for this season. When he's on the offensive side of the court they don't even bother to guard him. Put in Aaron Gray or deal Wallace's ass for whoever will take him - he's fucking dead to me.

It's ironic that the fans from the top of the stadium are the ones who are making the noise because if they actually stopped to think about the fact that Kobe Bryant is the antithesis of all that is good about the Bulls, they would maybe realize that we don't need Kobe. Somebody at the Local #402 should inform these morons that defense, hard work and desire will prevail in the NBA. The Bulls have that now, whether they know it or not.

They also have huge problems with Deng and Gordon's situation and until that is taken care of, they will not be any better than a .500 team this year, which isn't fine by me but you will never, ever catch me at a Bulls game cheering for anyone other than the men who wear the red and black.

Some Upcoming Changes...

Well, I officially left my shitty job today, and Fuck I couldn't be any happier about it. I managed to stick it out for 11 months at a place that most people would be lucky to last 3 in. So after saying peace out, I now have the entire week to myself before starting my job next Monday. What does that mean? A few subtle changes here at Chicago Bull. From now on, my posts will be coming at night. I might have a few random during the day, but not until I can figure out how busy I am, and that sorta stuff. I think I'll be keeping more daily links to tide most of you over, and then when I get home, I can unleash the fury. But until I start, you can count alot of shit this week, so enjoy, I know I will!

Bears Offense = Torture

Dictionary.com defines Torture as "the act of inflicting excruciating pain, as punishment or revenge, as a means of getting a confession or information, or for sheer cruelty." Well, considering that, the people of Chicago and Oakland were subjected to quite possibly the worst offensive output in this decade. At what point did you kick your family dog for sheer frustration? For me, had to be when Grossman came into the game and immediately fumbled the first snap. Fucking Rex was too busy smiling and thinking about how he could advertise himself to the likes of the Lions, Bucs and Panthers. Anyone who takes a voucher on him is asking for trouble, except for Carolina because they are seriously screwed at QB, and Rex is better then Matt Moore or whatever his name is. Look at that guy. Fucker looks like he just got fired from Domino's and has been forced to eat ants to survive. Anyways, we here Chicago Bull always look for ways to save some money, and we have the perfect weapon to unleash in the War on Terror. But before we do, lets look at some ways that Government secretly gets information from these camel raping bastards: (thank lord for wikipedia. We don't condone violence, we just choose to look the other way.)

Waterboarding: - Waterboarding is a torture technique that simulates drowning in a controlled environment. It consists of immobilizing an individual on his or her back, with the head inclined downward, and pouring water over the face[1] to force the inhalation of water into the lungs. How bad would that suck? The only way to really appreciate how much this would blow, I advocate the following: Does your office have a water cooler with the big gallon you put on it? If so during your next break, have a fellow employee blind you with your tie or his. Next, lay down underneither it, and have some hold you down. Two if necessary. Then unannounced the water continue for about minute unless you need to tap out. Better yet, do it to someone you don't like and pretend not to hear them wanting to be done. It's a two for one in my book.



The Rack:
Remember the end of Braveheart when they had him tied up? Of course you do, it's on almost every other fucking day. The rack consists of an oblong rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground, with a roller at one, or both, ends, having at one end a fixed bar to which the legs were fastened, and at the other a movable bar to which the hands were tied. The victim's feet are fastened to one roller, and the wrists are chained to the other.

As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet attached to the top roller are used to very gradually stepwise increase the tension on the chains, which induces excruciating pain as the victim's joints slowly dislocate. By means of pulleys and levers this latter could be rolled on its own axis, thus straining the ropes till the sufferers joints were dislocated.

I'm not quite sure how you could pull this off in the office other then just pulling on someone arms and legs. Instead, just go straight to a cutting technique and get a bunch of push pins to put in somebody. That'll do.

Michael Bolton: How Can We Be Lovers. Put this on repeat. If you don't wish for death after an hour, Kill Yourself. You're part of the problem in this country.



Bears Offense: I couldn't find any video evidence from yesterday's game. So'll just leave you with this tribute to Rex. You really wouldn't want to have embarked on the amount of shittyness that graced my TV screen yesterday.

NFL Week 10: Spit it out

I don't feel like spending my usual three hours writing jokes this week, so I'm just going to give you the straight dope picks. Enjoy fuckers.

Buffalo @ Miami: The Bills could add another chapter to their "How to Choke Away a Game" manual if they provide Miami's first win this year. Let's hope Dick Jauron brings his balls with him this week and opens up the offense. 31-20 Bills

Minnesota @ Green Bay: I hope nobody wins this game. 24-21 Packers

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh: How Pittsburgh is favored by 10 escapes me but I'll still take them to beat the poo bears. 27-17 Steelers

Denver @ Kansas City: Dre' Bly is about as physical as Stephen Hawking, and I expect the Chiefs rookie Dwayne Bowe to scalp Denver's weak secondary like Chief Illiniwek would to the jerkoffs who got him banned if he could. 24-17 Chiefs



St. Louis @ New Orleans: I don't know what city I would rather not live in more: St. Louis or New Orleans. I think I'd almost rather live in France. Ok maybe not France but some other place that isn't New Orleans of St. Louis. 30-20 Saints

Jacksonville @ Tennessee: Take Tennessee to cover the 4-point spread and you'll make some money. 24-10 Titans

Philadelphia @ Washington: Jason Campbell is what Donovan McNabb used to be: mobile. I like the 'Skins chances in this one as long as they contain Brian Westbrook. 27-24 Redskins

Atlanta @ Carolina: If you find youself watching this game you should immediately question your place here on this Earth. 20-13 Panthers

Cincinnati @ Baltimore: Prison Bowl 2k7 should be pretty exciting to watch. I hope they remember to beef up the security at Ravens Stadium Sunday with the return of Bengals receiver Chris Henry back. 31-17 Bengals

Detroit @ Arizona: Edgerrin James will keep the Cardinals close in this game, but will they pull it out? Fuck it I'll take a gamble I have a 7-game lead. 27-26 Cardinals

Cowboys @ Giants: $100 bucks says two years ago Tony Romo never thought people would be wishing they were him one day. 30-24 Cowboys

Chicago @ Oakland: With the loss of Ruben Brown the Bears running game went from barely erect to flacid. Picking the Raiders in this one would be almost as bad as voting for Hillary Clinton, so I'm sticking with the Bears. 20-17 Bears

Indianapolis @ San Diego: If there is any person on this planet (Wow, two Earth references in one post - neat) who thinks Norv Turner is a good coach, you are either Norv's brother Ron or straight up retarded. 31-21 Colts

San Francisco @ Seattle: Really? This is the Monday Night game? Seriously? Way to make a usually dull and disappointing day even worse with this matchup ESPN. 27-17 Seahawks

Goodbye Hellhole; Hello Better Opportunity!!!

Time to break out the Jager; after 11 months it's time to move on, and I couldn't possibly be any more excited then I am right now after getting a new job offer. I will not name the company yet because I'm still an employee for the time being, but I will promise you the Doctor was ready to go. So have a great weekend everyone, I leave you someone getting kicked in the balls willingly. God people are stupid.

Don't Fuck with Us, Episode Two

There are a few things that I've come to realize having entered the 'sphere. Original ideas are hard to come by, and when you have success with them, you tend to take them too far. I like Spirit of Jake Plummer, I think they come up with alot of original ideas; however one of my critcisms of them would be they cater too much to bullshit posts they sit on. The NFL coaches having different jobs was a great post, and I give them alot of credit for the orginality of the thoughts, but sometimes I feel like that's all they post. Manufactured bullshit to please. I think they have a good site; but I think they should stick to less "these athletes/coaches compared to this contemporary idea".

Anyways, I think the Crown and Coke is talking, but with alcohol comes truth. Moving on, here's our new weekly segment considering our spam/inbox.

Week 10 Picks From The Doctor

Want another reason to not like Jeff Garcia? It's staring right into your eyes, while your eyes are not looking at hers. Yes, Carmella DeCesare is ridiculous. Anyways, enough of that banter. I've already posted on the fact I'm seven games behind Noce right now, so I will be using the 2005 Houston Astros as my official comeback sponsor since they were 15-30 at one point only to come back and win the N.L. pennant. Of course they got swept by my beloved White Sox, so the transition from them to the Sox will be key. How does that work? Not a fucking clue here either, so let's move on and start the second half of the season the right way.

As you may or may not know, I'm also your guide to some Country Club Golf Hustlin' NFL bets. I pick 3 games each week with the line included for Epic Carnival, so if you want to make some cash, take the doctor's pigskin prescriptions. I'm 7-3 so far this year.

Denver @ Kansas City: Fresh off of a complete ass raping, the Broncos take their horrible defense on the road again; this time to Arrowhead Stadium. On the flip side, LJ will not be playing this week for the Chiefs, and could possibly be sidelined for the year. How's that Michael Bennett trade looking now? Wow..this is actually kinda tough. Denver's D sucks, but the only real threat for KC is down. I'll still take KC though; Tony Gonzalez has been much better of late, and he should be over the century mark for yards. 17-13 Chiefs

Buffalo @ Miami: Isn't it kinda ironic that while one team tries to be the second to ever go undefeated, the original team to do it has yet to win this year? I think it's hilarious personally, and I'm hoping they dont win at all. Fuck you Shula. LINE: -3 BUF 24-6 Bills

Minnesota @ Green Bay: If this one was at Minnesota, I would consider taking the viqueens. But Lambeau and Favre do not a good situation make for Purple Jesus. 27-20 Packers

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh: This should be a good game. I've been pretty impressed with Derek Anderson, and alot of the Chicago sports radio stations have mentioned him as someone the Bears should persue. We'll see how does against James Harrison and the Steelers' D though. Willie Parker, you motherfucker, you better break one off for a touchdown you clown. You have been a huge disappointment to the 3 Doors DownSyndrome (thanks to KSK for that beauty of a name). 31-23 Steelers

St. Louis @ New Orleans: What's worse? The current state of New Orleans or the Rams? Discuss. 41-10 Saints

Jacksonville @ Tennessee: Expect a fast game on the scoreboard as both teams are in the top five for rushing. I'll take Vince Young over Quinn whoeverthefuck anyday. 17-9 Titans

Philadelphia @ Washington: I don't trust either of these teams. However, I think the 'Skins are slightly better, so I'll go with them. 21-20 Redskins

Atlanta @ Carolina: Carolina is easily the worst team at .500. Testaverde is already hurt, and some pole smoker named Matt Moore could be playing in his place. I can't believe I'm typing this: 17-3 Falcons

Cincinnati @ Baltimore: It's a goddamn field of landmines this week exploding with shittyness in every matchup. I might end up wrong on how who wins, but I do know this: OVER/UNDER: 44.5, TAKE THE UNDER 20-17 Ravens

Detroit @ Arizona: God is on Jon Kitna's side, and it's showing more and more each week. 27-17 Lions

Cowboys @ Giants: Stop me if you've heard this one before; The Giants start out slow, win a bunch of games making everyone believe they're actually good. Then they suck again, limp into the playoffs and do nothing. Amazing how history repeats itself every year in New York. 35-28 Cowboys

Chicago @ Oakland: Could Cedric Benson actually see triple digits this Sunday? Probably not, but Oakland sucks. Don't get overly excited though, Bears fans, they're still not that good. 24-13 Bears

Indianapolis @ San Diego: Before the year started, I would have probably wanted to watch this game. Now, I could really care less because I already know what's going to happen. LINE: -4 IND 31-17 Colts

San Francisco @ Seattle: Whoever made the NFL schedule, please punch yourself in the nuts repeatedly from kickoff to the final seconds. This is pure garbage. 27-6 Seahawks

It's a date: Bulls vs. Pistons Live Blog Tonight

Hey Bulls Fans! (pretending I'm Stacey King) Mark your calenders dweebs, tonight Dr. C and myself will be hopefully live blogging the first Bulls victory in the 2007-08 season. Ha, who am I kidding? The Bulls will probably lose tonight and most likely won't be above .500 until mid-December, when I'll be semi-suicidal after they trade Andres Nocioni away. I expect tonight's game to be a low-scoring borefest, as each team will shoot somewhere around 30-35%. That should give us plenty of time to make fun of the following people:

1) Chris Duhon




2) Stacey King



3) Detroit's version of Chris Duhon, Ronald "Flip" Murray



4) Another homo who actually goes by the name "Flip" - Pistons head coach Flip Saunders



5) Ben Wallace



6) Tyrus Thomas



7) And lots, lots more Chris Duhon




So come on out and join us around 6:30pm, and don't forget to bring your sense of humor, it's the only thing that makes this year's Bulls games enjoyable.

Way To Go Wednesday

Damn is Megan Fox hot. I thought Transformers was pretty disappointing in my mind, but she sure as hell was not. Well, the firsts for WTGW keep happening. For this week's edition, no one is getting anything positive from Chicago Bull. Were handing out our first complete jagoff award after I just checked whitesox.com for the worst news of the week. After just reading this on the front page, my first Way To Go will be for none other then the White Sox GM:






Kenny Williams Re-signs Juan Uribe to 1-year deal:



Wipe that smirk off your face, you fucking prick; you just did the team the biggest disservice of the offseason imaginable. You could have gotten Eckstein over to play short, lead-off, and steal bases. He's a fucking World Series MVP in case you forgot, Ken. Instead, you sign a jackass back who barely hit .230, and couldn't get on base to save his dominican ass. I'm so pissed right now it's not even funny. There is nothing about Uribe that I like, or would any other right minded South Side fan either. I don't care if you get Jesus to play centerfield this year, you completely fucked this team over, pal. So WAY TO GO KENNY WILLIAMS, we'll have to see Uribe swing for the fences and miss another 200 times next season. Fuck, I can't wait. Next we head to:

Don Shula wants an asterisk if Pats go undefeated:



This is the second biggest joke of the week I've heard outside what's posted above. Do America a favor Shula, and shut the fuck up. Your 72' Dolphins only had to win 16 games to be undefeated. The Pats will have to win 19. If anything, it's your team that should be getting the asterisk. Way To Go Don Shula, your comments make a senile jackass!

LIVE-BLOG TOMORROW NIGHT: BULLS VS. PISTONS

Yes that's right, you can join the agony live as it happens tomorrow night here on Chicago Bull as the winless Bulls welcome the undefeated Detroit Pistons. Will the Bulls finally get their first win of the season as they get revenge on the Piss-ons? Will Tyrus Thomas make me break my laptop as I wanted to last night? All this and more as me and Noce curse the likes of a Chris Duhon turnover or a Ben Wallace shot attempt. Tip-off is set for 7pm, and I'll have things ready to roll just before tip-off so join in!!
