August 2009 ArchiveThings to Read: 8/31by Ricky O'Donnell on August 31 at 4:00PM
Send submissions to rickhouse@blogsbyfans.com And don't forget about my Bears post below.
White Sox Examiner: The Sox are calling up Tyler Flowers. NQTC: Bears preseason overview. TopTenChicagoSports: 10 Bears standouts from last night. Bulls.com: Video of the 10 best Bulls plays from last season. They got No. 1 correct. MOUTHPIECE: Former Power Ranger to begin MMA career. One correction, though: the Red Ranger's name was Jason, not Tommy. Tommy was the Green Ranger. My long-term memory is flawless. World of Isaac: Jared Allen is an idiot. And a music video. After the jump... The Bears' offense once again proves it's going to be goodby Ricky O'Donnell on August 31 at 1:35PM
I pretty much covered the Bears' offense at FCP last week, and last night's game in Denver only reinforced those feelings. For maybe the first time in my life, Bears football is going to be fun. Oh sure, 2006 was...

Quoth Milton Bradleyby Ricky O'Donnell on August 28 at 2:39AM
''I'm here to play ball. I came here to win a championship. Ain't nothing I'd rather do. If I could do anything, one, I might cure the lupus my aunt has; two, another aunt got both legs cut off because...

On the White Sox...by Ricky O'Donnell on August 27 at 1:33PM

And now for today's top storyby Ricky O'Donnell on August 27 at 3:22AM
FAVRE CAUSES LOCKER ROOM SCHISM!!! All caps, increased text size, and three exclamation points doesn't really even do it justice. Of course, this will probably be ultimately meaningless. As the great Adam Schefter notes, once the Vikings start winning, no...

My advice for Tom Rickettsby Ricky O'Donnell on August 26 at 1:16AM
The best thing about Full Court Press is obviously the commenters. They love me all of the sudden, so that's kind of sweet. The worst part is that I sometimes have to write serious things about the Cubs. That's what...

The commenters will almost certainly not be as nice as yesterdayby Ricky O'Donnell on August 25 at 1:14AM
I haven't broken it down by the numbers, but I'd guess it's something like 5 percent of the time I write about the Bulls at the Sun-Times, I start a race war. Luckily that won't happen today because my post...

Rick Telander has some advice for Tom Rickettsby Ricky O'Donnell on August 24 at 2:17AM
The headline:From Rick-T to T-Rick... LINDA COHN, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.The aforementioned advice is pretty great, too.1. Fix the goddamn toilets. 3. Tell your baseball guys there is only one directive: Get rid of players who don't know how or...
You're not going to believe this: Mariotti misses the point on Rose, Memphisby Ricky O'Donnell on August 21 at 1:04PM
Bashing Jay Mariotti may be a fruitless exercise at this point. He's been destroyed mercilessly, here and elsewhere, ad nauseam. He makes a fool of himself on television five times a week. You won't find an intelligent sports fan, sports...

Contreras pitches, looks like a Cubanby Ricky O'Donnell on August 20 at 2:42AM

Yep, Brett's backby Ricky O'Donnell on August 18 at 12:42PM
Despite what I wrote last time we talked about this here, I am not happy right now. This just sucks. I hate you, Brett Favre. I hate you.Sure, Favre easily could make the Vikings worse. He was brutal the last...

ZOMG, CUTLER THROWS HESTER UNDER BUS!! Uh, not really.by Ricky O'Donnell on August 17 at 12:08AM
There was plenty not to like about Jay Cutler's Bears debut on Saturday night. For me, it pretty much boiled down to the fact that a) it was on a Saturday night, and b) it was in the preseason. Nothing...
