December 2008 ArchiveSaying goodbye to 2008by Ricky O'Donnell on December 31 at 12:01AM
First off, congrats to Condor for outlasting Mike from GP to claim the title in TUP NFL Pick Em champion. The prizes are in the mail, I assure you. I hear he's throwing a rather ragin' party tonight in honor of his big accomplishment.
The undercard: a Bears top ten list. I know you can't get enough. Main Event: after the jump.... I Hate Everybody - Act IIby Bobby Stompy on December 29 at 6:32PM
Week 17 of the NFL season was enough to resurrect the ghost of TUP's least run regular featureIn 2006, the Pats and Bears were eliminated from the playoffs within a span of about 24 hours. I remember thinking it was...
Thankfully, the Bears are doneby Ricky O'Donnell on December 28 at 5:44PM
Despite our preseason predictions, this season was nothing but frustrating as a Bears fan. Sure, a 9-7 record doesn't look too bad, especially when I doubted they'd win more than five games 17 weeks ago, but that doesn't change the...
Go to FCPby Ricky O'Donnell on December 23 at 2:58PM
Check out my apathetic review of last night's Bears game on Full Court Press, where I'll be covering for Roman all week. Also, John Sickles posted his top 20 White Sox prospects, if you're into that sort of thing. ...
The Bears live another dayby Ricky O'Donnell on December 22 at 1:59AM
There could be some serious parallels forming here between the 2008 White Sox and these Bears. Both got f'd up in seemingly do-or-die division road games, where, wouldn't you know it, the Metrodome played a central role. The Twins of...
Links to the weekendby Ricky O'Donnell on December 19 at 4:31PM
Bulls- Brian emailed Matt from Blog-a-Bull and I yesterday to see what we thought about trading either Gordon or Hinrich for Samuel Dalembert. Check out our responses here. Matt, who has always been a much bigger fan of Gordon than...
A quick mid-day link roundupby Ricky O'Donnell on December 18 at 2:16PM
Make sure you read today's 'featured post' too, if you're into that sort of thing.With the closing of FireJoeMorgan, I think Ball Don't Lie has become my new favorite blog. Skeets is just the man, and I'm not sure if...
Taking a look at Gordon and Dengby Ricky O'Donnell on December 18 at 5:01AM
A few quick notes from yesterday's Bulls win, though I didn't even really watch it cause I was working.1) Ben Gordon is just playing out of his mind right now. My distaste for him is well documented, but I don't...
More tomorrow morning but...by Ricky O'Donnell on December 18 at 3:58AM
I figured I'd pass along my latest entry at The Fantasy Factor, which basically sums up my incredible fantasy football season. One more time, Andre Johnson. One more time. ...
Nine, Lance, and Goodenby Bobby Stompy on December 17 at 1:08AM
3 Thangs1) Rickhouse commands people to follow the Blackhawks, then they absolutely light up the Oilers only a few hours later. Final was 9-2, but the Hawks had 7 goals through two periods. Good first game of the year to...
The Blackhawks deserve your attentionby Ricky O'Donnell on December 16 at 2:12PM
As a sports fan, the worst thing in the world is when your team is stuck in mediocrity. If a team is bad but building towards something bigger, that's fine. Most smart fans have patience. Apparently Knicks fans do too....
DJ Set to Take Over the ChiSox Airwaves In '09by Bobby Stompy on December 15 at 8:30PM
In a move that will most likely evoke a collective groan from the White Sox fan base (but delight me to no end), DJ is back!The Chicago White Sox today announced Darrin Jackson will serve as the team's radio color...
Baseball roundtableby Ricky O'Donnell on December 15 at 2:33PM
Only problem with this roundtable: needs more Bruce Paine. If nothing else, I think we might have been able to coax Cobra out of retirement to answer some Cubs questions.Nice job by Arin coming up with some good questions about...
Tarvaris Jackson sticks a fork in the Bearsby Ricky O'Donnell on December 13 at 3:12PM
Though I think I tend to view things in a more positive light than most Bears fans - I don't hate Lovie or Ron Turner; I stuck with Rex as long as anyone; my opinion of CedBen heading into last...
Lets go Cardinalsby Ricky O'Donnell on December 12 at 3:14PM
I was stuck at work yesterday so I couldn't follow the Bears game all that closely. I did catch the Orton blown spike however, which is something that could only happen to a Bears quarterback. From what I've heard from...
The Bears play football todayby Ricky O'Donnell on December 11 at 3:06AM
Sorry for being out of it the last few days: finals consumed nearly all of my brain power. I wasn't even following sports, outside a few check ins on Trade Rumors, and I certainly wasn't going to write anything. Semester...
SportsPros(e) ties up the week that wasby Ricky O'Donnell on December 9 at 12:01AM
*Oddly, the brothers Allen (they are brothers, right?) missed this week's biggest story: my fantasy football team's improbable run to the playoffs. How's this for a short story: my season started off ominously when my first round pick got...
No, Ron! Nooooooo!!!!by Bobby Stompy on December 8 at 7:13PM
Starting to feel a little bit better about the BCS crap ...
BCS: Awful like alwaysby Bobby Stompy on December 8 at 10:53AM
"That's not to say I think that Florida should play Alabama in the national-title game. But it's my feeling that after you see Florida smash Oklahoma -- far more decisively than Texas' 10-point win over Oklahoma -- we'll all realize...
JD to Cinci; the Bears win an important oneby Ricky O'Donnell on December 7 at 8:57PM
Couldn't Kenny Williams wait til Wednesday? I have finals this week, brother. Yuck.Both teams have denied it, but it looks like the long rumored Jermaine Dye for Homer Bailey deal is on. As of right now, there is very little...
And this work week is OVA!by Bobby Stompy on December 5 at 6:32PM
"Pretty tough to think about the beginning of December." - The White StripesThey're from Michigan, so they clearly know what's up. When I was younger and even stupider, I used to be a huge advocate of a four seasons climate....
Friday link dumpby Ricky O'Donnell on December 5 at 2:43PM
- No Sox players made mlb.com's list of the 50 best prospects in baseball, but pitcher Aaron Poreda did make honorable mention, coming in at No. 56. I think I'd rank Poreda as the Sox' fourth best prospect right now,...
Mayo on the Vazquez tradeby Ricky O'Donnell on December 5 at 2:36AM
MLB.com's Jonathon Mayo likes the trade from the Sox' perspective...Whaddaya folks think about the Javy Vazquez trade? Gotmilby (that's Lisa) and I were talking about it and both of us first thought the Braves gave up too much. We saw...
A tidy pre-Winter Meetings Sox roundupby Ricky O'Donnell on December 4 at 2:19AM
- Though I don't believe anything is official yet, it looks like neither Jo Jo Reyes or Charlie Morton will be coming to Chicago. That sucks because I think both would be better than Jeff Marquez, but it probably would...
Javy to the Bravesby Ricky O'Donnell on December 2 at 7:16PM
It was only a matter of time, you see. Sox getRHP Charlie Morton, 25C Tyler Flowers, 222B Brent Lillibridge, 25Braves getSP Javy VazquezRHP Boone LoganThe only player I've heard of in the trade is Morton, who used to be a top...
A little more love for D-Roseby Ricky O'Donnell on December 2 at 12:27AM
Most of you probably already saw Simmons' take on Derrick Rose a few days ago, but I really feel like it was dead on. I particularly liked this section:I can't think of another sports example to match this one: Bulls...
The Bears blow it, Bulls and Hawks conquer the Circusby Ricky O'Donnell on December 1 at 1:20AM
Every Sunday, I help run live Bears blogs at the Sun-Times. I basically just approve comments, maybe post a few poll questions. It's usually not too much work; I generally have no problem paying attention to the game while handling...
