November 2008 ArchiveObligatory Thanksgiving Postby Bobby Stompy on November 28 at 1:33AM
Seeing as it's still Thanksgiving in Denver, it seemed appropriate to do a "what TUP has been thankful for in the last year"-type post. But really, it just boiled down to the Cubs yoking in the playoffs, the Sox winning game 162, the Bears staying mildly competitive, oh, and...
 A few Wednesday linksby Ricky O'Donnell on November 26 at 1:54AM
I make my triumphant return to Top Ten today, complete with pot shots directed at nearly all of my coworkers. Witness the top ten Chicago disappointments of 2008. Hester is No. 1, though Chaz Weis made a strong push late....
Derrick and Larryby Ricky O'Donnell on November 25 at 1:05AM
Did anyone else notice that Derrick Rose took his last shot tonight eerily close to where MJ took his final shot in a Bulls uniform on the same court? For that reason alone it would have been sweet had Rose...
Your proverbial weekend wrap-upby Ricky O'Donnell on November 24 at 12:00AM
BearsYou'll read everywhere that yesterday's win against the Rams was nothing special and that it does not cure all the Bears' troubles. That may be true, but all I know is that the Bears needed that win yesterday in the...
Bearly Relevant: Week 12, time to reboundby Ricky O'Donnell on November 21 at 2:44PM
I want to know how people feel about Lovie Smith right now. Judging by the comments on the Full Court Press board, and by Olsen's fine top ten list, I get the feeling that if most Bears fans had it...
Bulls, Bulls, Bullsby Ricky O'Donnell on November 19 at 3:26AM
Stompy already did a pretty good job tying up last night's festivities, but I actually watched the game so there are few things I need to get off my chest as well...- Though the Bulls only lost by seven, I...
3 Reasons To Feel (Slightly) Better About the Bulls' 0-1 Start to the Circus Tripby Bobby Stompy on November 19 at 2:19AM
1) The Bulls played with -- I don't want to go too far and say heart -- but... spine ::: Derrick Rose hates losing. It's weird that in less than a month he's clearly become a leader, but it's pretty...
Pick Em' updateby Ricky O'Donnell on November 18 at 3:44AM
There is an epic BBF slugfest brewing atop the NFL Pick Em' standings. Arin pulled ahead from Mike and I this week to take a one point lead with six weeks left. Here's a look at the full standings.Rank Pick...
Stepping on to and off of the ledgeby Ricky O'Donnell on November 17 at 3:47AM
I've been trying to think if there has been a regular season Bears loss this devastating in my lifetime, and I can't come up with anything. Whatever good will the Bears accumulated this year is now gone. Yesterday's beat down...
And this work week is OVA!by Bobby Stompy on November 14 at 12:51PM
My second attempt at a regular weekly feature since the short-lived but spirited "I Hate Everybody" (guess I didn't have as much hate in me as I thought)... It's mostly just leftover thoughts mixed with superlativesThree Week Ending Thoughts1) Re:...
Bearly Relevant: Week 11, a Favre-less Green Bayby Ricky O'Donnell on November 14 at 4:15AM
This is super long, I'm not sure if it makes any sense, and I finished it at 3 a.m. so it's almost certainly loaded with fun and exciting typos. Just a warning. Lovie Smith takes a ton of heat in...
Swisher traded to the Yankeesby Ricky O'Donnell on November 13 at 4:25PM
So ends the Nick Swisher Era, after just one brutal season.In return (at least how it's being reported right now), the Sox get veteran infielder Wilson Betemit, 24-year old pitcher Jeff Marquez, and minor leaguer pitcher Jhonny Nunez. I'll have...
Quick Hawk Talkby Bobby Stompy on November 13 at 1:04PM
(Ed. note: How come we only write things at the exact same time!? I did a little Bulls-Bears post too, so check that out. Oh yeah, and if you're in the Pick Em' league, put your picks in now because...
A quick mid-week roundupby Ricky O'Donnell on November 13 at 12:48PM
BearsThe NFC North is going to be decided by the health of Kyle Orton. With Orton, the Bears are the best team in the division. Even with all their flaws, I feel comfortable saying that. But is it worth it...
Dubs wants you to know that Dubs is no longer in last placeby Friends of the Program on November 11 at 8:01PM
(Ed. note: I actually get to give my full attention to Derrick Rose tonight for the first time all year, so expect some Bulls-Hawks thoughts tomorrow. Until then, here's Dubs take on TUP Pick Em' action. Oh, and buy the...
Weekend wrapupby Ricky O'Donnell on November 10 at 12:17AM
This ended up sort of being a jam packed sports weekend. Lets recap. BearsMeh, it could have been worse. I missed the first two quarters due to an incredibly rough Saturday night, but I thought Rex did ok in the...
Bearly Relevant: Week Ten, in which we remember Rex with youthful blissby Ricky O'Donnell on November 7 at 4:26AM
No one ever believes this (which I find reasonable), but I predicted the White Sox would win the World Series during spring training in 2005. It wasn’t spawned from one of those ridiculous high school Sox-Cubs arguments either. I just...
Bulls-Cavs Recapby Bobby Stompy on November 6 at 11:18AM
Alright, this has to stop right now.VDN cannot start this ridiculous Rose-Thabo back court anymore. Now, I'm no X's and O's basketball guru (like Jim Boylan), but isn't the philosophy of most professional basketball teams to play their best five...
Javy will be on the move, but to where and for whom?by Ricky O'Donnell on November 6 at 12:00AM
So remember when the Sox took a 2.5 game division lead into Minnesota during the last week of the season? With everything that happened afterward, it's kind of hard to remember that the Sox got crushed in the Metrodome. At...
Chicago White Sox Win Presidential Electionby Bobby Stompy on November 4 at 11:28PM
One of my 273 pet peeves about Iowa football fans from the state of Iowa is they're always trying to take credit for the achievements of former players from the program. Some people I went to college with are bandwagon...
Marvelous Mondayby Bobby Stompy on November 4 at 4:20AM
Not to bury Rickhouse's likely polarizing Bulls trade post (hit that mutha up), but we can't let what happened yesterday be forgotten until we add some contextCase of the Mondays? Not on this one.We had:- The resignation of Phillip Fulmer,...
Trade of the month: Novemberby Ricky O'Donnell on November 4 at 12:48AM
So maybe I'm not the most qualified person to fix the Bulls at this point. Because of work and night classes, I haven't actually watched a full game yet this season. I've caught bits and pieces, as well as kept...
The Bears surviveby Ricky O'Donnell on November 2 at 8:04PM
It's hard to feel anything but relief after that one.This was a rough game for the Bears. The defense got shredded by one of the league's worst offenses, and their emerging quarterback got carted off the field. If it wasn't...
