Bracket Time
We all know what time of year it is. Bracket time is back. I don’t care what all you Christmas, summer, or other time of year lovers say, starting this week we’re in the most wonderful time of the year. It’s March, baby! So my yearly bracket contest is back. As always it’s just for […]

Cheer Loud, K-State
Back in December K-State played West Virginia and the big conversation was whether or not Bob Huggins should have been cheered or booed. There were plenty of great points on both sides. Those who cheered pointed out that Huggins gave the Cats the jump start they needed to be a top 25 type program again. […]
On Joe Paterno
When Joe Paterno was fired it was one of the biggest stories of 2011. Everyone was talking about it whether they were fans of college football or not. The Sandusky cover up, the scandal… it was too much to believe. Paterno took the fall for his failure to act. At the time at which he […]
Joe Frazier
“Smokin’” Joe Frazier January 12, 1944 – November 7, 2011 You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you’re down to your reflexes – that means your [preparation:]. That’s where your roadwork shows. If you cheated on that […]

They Call Him “Sweetness”
I was 7 years old when the ’85 Bears captivates the nation and became the true America’s team for a year. No one could resist the charms of this incredible cast of characters, from the Punky QB known as McMahon, The Fridge (The Rookie), Samurai Mike, and our man Dent. ((I assume you caught that […]
Did someone say football?!?
Hey, guess what? It’s football time! Every year I set up a few football contests ((unlike my NCAA Tourney contest, I don’t have any cool prizes to give away for these. If that changes, you’ll be the first to know)), and I want you to be a part. These aren’t fantasy football leagues, they require […]
I ♥ KC
We all know who Chris Sullentrop is, right? Oh, no? Well, he’s just some jackass that grew up in KC but moved to NYC for “a bigger stage and a bigger paycheck.” And that’s fine. Kansas City isn’t New York City or Chicago or LA. It doesn’t give the same opportunities, and it doesn’t have all […]
I’m Greedy
I don’t think I’m that bad of a person, really. But I guess I’m pretty greedy. As a Chicago fan, I’m pretty pretty lucky. In my lifetime I’ve gotten to watch the Bears, Bulls, White Sox, and Blackhawks all win championships. In fact, Chicago is the only city in the last 25 years to have […]
On Sports Hatred…
Let’s face it… this picture is awesome. That being said, I don’t feel guilty at all for enjoying it. If you put yourself out there as a super fan of some sort, you put yourself out there for this to happen. When I was a student at K-State, for 2 years a couple friends and […]

#22 – Dave Duerson
Dave Duerson November 28, 1960 – February 17, 2011 When you look at all the various characters that exist in the NFL today, they owe a sense of allegiance to the ’85 Bears. I don’t think any team prior to us had the kind of fun we did. We enjoyed each other off the field […]
