3 Thangs
1) 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 watch, buddy? I expect a half-assed recap with little to no signs of technical hockey knowledge. Did I say expect?
Demand.
2)
Lance Briggs in the Pro Bowl. He's probably my favorite defensive player on the Bears, so I'm pretty happy. That makes it four total for him.
3) Gooden, on his facial hair:
"Drew Gooden said even a 'zero-tolerance coach' couldn't get him to
shave his unique beard, which he calls 'The Johnny' after the facial
hair Johnny Depp displayed in 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' 'The 'Johnny'
would be here whoever was coaching -- John Wooden, Roy Williams,
whoever,' Gooden said while stroking his beard." (via TrueHoop via Sun-Times)

I will not mention the Bulls OT loss to Larry Brown which I did not get the chance to watch, but feel free to vent about it or explain to me what the hell happened.
With the Bulls leading by 3 and less than 20 secs. to go, that pussy DJ Augustin flopped shooting a three - Rose got called for the foul even though he didn't touch him. Game tied, Bulls lose in overtime. TJ Ford 2.0 needs to get hit hard over the head like, well, TJ Ford.
Urlacher, like everybody else in Chicago, was your favorite Bear until he didn't get voted on to the team. Now, because he did, Briggs is your man.
Oh hey, first time I've been on a computer all day (and it's 6 pm!). I'm a loser and decided to party last night instead of watching the Hawks game. I was like 5 percent disappointed that this was the game I targeted watching and I proceeded to blow it off, but the whole nine goals thing quickly made me feel better.
I've been pretty against Urlacher (at least as a 'favorite' player) ever since he kind of became a dick.
What's dickish about texting your baby mama and telling her to toughen up that little pussy of a son?
If it had been me...
