Someone Other Than Kornheiser Stinks On Monday Night Football

By GibbyZee ⋅ December 18, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Hoo boy, I love it when ESPN’s Monday Night Football crew gets stuck with a real stinker of a game. And the contest between the Bears and Vikings last night night smelled about as good as week-old headcheese left out in the sun.
The main aromatic offender last night was Chicago quarterback Kyle Orton, aka The […]

Kyle Orton: The Ubermensch Is Back

By oddJoe ⋅ December 10, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Put yourself in the shoes of Lovie Smith for a moment. Your defending NFC Champion Bears are 5-8 and out of the playoff picture, your starting QB Rex Grossman is out the rest of the season with a sprained knee, what would you do? Turn the ball over to Kyle Orton, exactly.
Mr. Neckbeard did […]

At The Half: Detroit 13, Chicago 0

Don’t worry Bears fans, Lovie Smith is just trying to set the stage for another game-saving comeback by Brian Griese.

Lord I Love Pre-Season Football

Jacksonville 17, Miami 18
Who needs Dante Culpepper? Byron Leftwich completed 7 of 11 passes for 78 yards and a TD for the Jags, while David Garrard was 12 of 16 for 153 yards.
Maybe Culpeper wasn’t so bad. Trent Green, who completed just 6 of 15 for 60 yards with an interception, got booed off the […]

Eat your heart out Nate Vasher

Big news today from our neighbors to the north: Dominique Dorsey tied a Canadian Football League record last night when he returned a missed field goal 129 yards for a touchdown. Yeah, pretty good eh? Unfortunately his Toronto Argonauts lost the game 29-27 in overtime to the Montreal Alouettes.
Now you might be thinking to […]

No one is perfect…except Devin Hester

By oddJoe ⋅ April 7, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s no secret that pro football players are as big of fans of the Madden NFL Football video game franchise as the scrawny geeks who would never last a minute on a real football field. Not only do they play the game, they use the game’s skill ratings as a de facto measure of their […]

Scott Wiese, You Sir Are No Peyton Manning (But You Could Have been DeDe Dorsey)

By oddSeth ⋅ March 28, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Macon County Judge Katherine McCarthy ruled this week that Bears fan Scott Wiese can’t legally call himself Peyton Manning, claiming that it might cause confusion and infringe on the privacy of the Indianapolis Colts quarterback.
Before the Super Bowl (where the Bears were thumped soundly by the Colts) Wiese apparently signed a pledge in front of […]

I Think Someone Won the Super Bowl Last Night

By oddSeth ⋅ February 5, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I actually dozed off midway through the third quarter, so hang on, lemme see what happened…
Ah, congratulations to the Baby Horses, for prevailing over a team with the equivalent of a high-school junior varsity starting quarterback. Not the most awesomest display of prowess, from either team, on either side of the ball, but at least […]

That’s $5,000 a Somersault, Mr. Bush

By oddSeth ⋅ January 29, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Reggie Bush has been fined $5,000 by the NFL for taunting during his 88 yard TD reception versus the Bears in the NFC championship game, during which he pointed back at Brian Urlacher and then somersaulted into the end zone.
No offense to the NFL, but that’s just dumb, on all sorts of levels. None of […]

Manning Mum on Thumb

By oddSeth ⋅ January 24, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

I really shouldn’t complain, as we’re about to be facing that horrible, horrible time of the year when the Super Bowl is done and anything quasi-sports-related is unwatchable until March Madness, but do we really have to endure breathless story after breathless story about the state of Peyton Manning’s thumb?
Who cares if he won’t update […]
