Another Sports Autobiography To Waste Your Money On!

How come everyone needs a book about their life in sports?

Seriously!

Do sports fans find it interesting that Joe Torre confirms that Alex Rodriguez is a diva? Did you spend $25.00 on "My Prison Without Bars" by Pete Rose just to get insight on how he gambled on baseball when you already knew he did? Is it that much of a draw that NBA refs really fixed outcomes of games and gambled a ton...by convicted felon and former NBA referee Tim Donaghy? Jose Canseco changed baseball with his book "Juiced," because it told you that baseball players were taking steroids....didn't we know that already? We did not care before, so why should we care now?

Chicago Bears Fans Need To Put The Firing Gun Away

It's amazing to me as a producer at the Score how fans in Chicago are no where to be heard or seen when it comes to a winning team, but yet when a team is in flux like the Chicago Bears....everything has to change.

Change is not always a good thing, and usually it doesn't happen until there is no other option with the personnel employed.

So the Bears yesterday for the second time in four games allow 31 points in the first half and lose to the Arizona Cardinals 41-21. After a hot 3-1 first quarter to the season, the Bears follow a week five bye and finish the second quarter of the season 1-3.

I agree that it's been painful to watch the Bears be outscored 113-75 over the last four games. As a fellow fan I totally understand, but I think its time to step back and take a look at this team with an open mind and a honest heart.

Kenny Williams Turning Up The Heat Before The Stove Arrives

The hot stove hasn't even had a chance to turn to knob to "lite" yet and the Chicago White Sox are off and running with their off season moves. Kenny Williams kept busy during the season by trading for Jake Peavy and Alex Rios and kept the ball rolling this off season by bringing back Matt Thornton, Freddy Garcia, and Mark Kotsay.

All great moves but the best move by Kenny Williams so far this off season happened today.

Today the Chicago White Sox bought out Jermaine Dye's mutual option for around a million dollars making the 35 year old veteran right fielder a free agent. The 2005 World Series MVP batted .250 last season with 27 home runs and 81 RBI. A moderately productive for a guy who baseball considered finished after shattering his leg in the 2001 ALDS hitting a foul ball. Dye worked hard and found success again after Kenny Williams took a flyer on him in 2005 and thus turned his career around winning a world series MVP.

Don't Hate The Yankees Because They Do Things Right......

I just don't get some people today when it comes to their opinions of the New York Yankees. "The Evil Empire" apparently is all that's wrong with today's society because they outspend other teams by a drastic comparison. The pinstripes take all the best players every year and forcing the smaller market teams to get by on the second tier or even third tier players. The "NY" on the face of the jersey stands for "Not Yours" because it's all about the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees.

Blah Blah Blah.....

How can you hate a team so much that it distracts you from what your team isn't doing? Seriously, you HAVE TO RESPECT the way the New York Yankees do business because it's the perfect business motto for sports....DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WIN!

Rock Report Rant: I'm Addicted. Are You Too?

NHL '10 for Playstation 3

I have a little problem and I wonder if you have the same thing. I'm addicted to something that doesn't harm your body, but alters your mind. I'm addicted to something that won't make you fat, drunk, or high. I'm addicted to something that is still rather expensive, but it has no taste, smell and you can't wear it.

I'm addicted to NHL 10 for Playstation 3.

Jim Hendry Isn't Going Anywhere....PERIOD!!

In the Cubs never-ending quest to win the World Series, this past season was a sucker punch to all Cubs fans. To see a team fall from a 97 win team to a just over .500 ball club had to be not only disappointing but extremely unsatisfactory.

I have to admit that watching my Cubs fan friends this past season hurt me, cause I've never been in that situation. As a White Sox fan, I feel I'm more realistic about my teams' chances than my friends who have always believed that "This Is The Year."

It's sad, pathetic, and sometimes downright disgusting.

However, I believe that General Manager Jim Hendry summed up this past season best today in an article by Paul Sullivan calling this past season a "hiccup." A bump in the road, a simple red light. This season which the Cubs dropped 15 games in the win total from last year (2nd worst swing in win total in MLB) was just a minor glitch in the application that is the Chicago Cubs.

When It Comes To The Bears....Who Can You Trust?

Hey Hey!! It's victory Monday!

Sure.

I don't know about you, but that game yesterday was single handily the worst looking win by any professional football team I've ever seen. The term "Winning Ugly" has come up a couple of times this season, but the Bears don't even deserve that association. The win against the Browns can only be described by one word: "_______." Go ahead, you try to come up with a word that describes how the Bears took a W from single handily the worst team in the NFL.

However while meddling through the game was this question that kept coming up in my mind, what can you trust when it comes to the Bears? Trust is defined as a confident expectation of something, In other words something you know will happen because it's always happened on a consistent basis. You know you can trust the sun will rise at some point in your lifetime. You know you can trust the IRS will screw you in some way on your taxes at some point in your life. You know you can trust in that if you take that extra bite of that quarter pounder, it's going straight to your hips.

Trust. Also a pretty good song by Megadeth.

When you look at this team, who or what can you lay your trust in as a fan? Do you trust this team can turn the season around and make a run of it?
