December 2009 ArchiveDubs Dread: Happy New Year!!!by Friends of the Program on December 31 at 2:37AM
{Here's Dubs. I'm taking the next day or two off. Be back next year. Ha! No, wait. Be back next decade! HAHA. But seriously. I'll be back Monday. Have fun and don't do anything too silly tonight. And yes, I DO in fact know that you would have had no fun and yet still somehow caused harm to yourself and others had I not just pushed you in the right direction. You're welcome.
Again, Dubs. -- Ricky} BY DUBS In the positive, almost epic way I penned the gloriousness that is Black Wednesday, New Year's Eve almost has the opposite affect on me. NYE seems like just another night on the town--drink and try to pick up a girl to makeout with (hopefully by MIdnight)--except you might be dragged to an event where you have to wear a black tie and pay $150 per ticket. Awesome. Black Wednesday has a simple purpose... GET FUCKED UP. NYE has all the intentions of just another night out with the added pressure of having a SPECTACULAR time regardless of the mood you're in. You aren't allowed to go to the darkside. You aren't allowed to feel sadness or regret. You aren't allowed to be human. If you don't have fun YOU'RE the asshole. "So what if you're dad died yesterday. Lighten up. It's New Year's Eve, dick!!!" 2009 -- The (Relatively Miserable) Year In Pictures In Chicago Sportsby Ricky O'Donnell on December 30 at 12:14AM
My initial tie-it-all-together thought on 2009 was "this year looked like it was going to be sweet, but it actually kind of sucked". I'm not comfortable with that being the official TUP stance, though. Chicago has enough wonderful the-sky-is-falling sports...

Bears-Vikings MNF Liveblogby Bobby Loesch on December 28 at 8:46PM
Well, you've gotta believe this is it: last chance for the Bears to create a small ounce of positivity in the supremely disastrous 2009 season. Don't get me wrong, the stakes tonight are very low. But beating Favre would be...

Bulls Choke Against Kings, Make Me Question Why I Even Like Chicago Sports In the First Placeby Ricky O'Donnell on December 22 at 2:22AM
Of all the things I really, truly dislike, the phrase "fuck my life" (or "FML") has to rank somewhere near the top. This is probably because the only people I ever see use it are people who are rich, or...
