Welcome!!!

Welcome to everyone who found this blog! First things first, the man you see pictured with a healthy glass of wine in his hand, and a jim dandy White Sox shirt on, is my uncle. He is one of the finest human beings ever to walk the earth, and this blog is dedicated to him.

Secondly, I'm not really sure who would want to read anything here. As I stated before, this blog was started by me strictly for theraputic purposes at this point. If something is on here that generates a reaction in you, by all means feel free to share it. If not, that's fine too. This is a fly-by-night operation, so no pressure.

Third, we live in an era where sports information has never been more accessible. Yet somehow most of it manages to be filtered and watered down in many respects by certain media/sports networks/websites. It's my wish to have one little sanctuary where information/thoughts/feelings are free of agenda or spin, or b.s. that exists in todays sportsworld. Hopefully that will exist here.

Fourth, LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!

Memory Lane And/Or Deja Vu?





















Not too much happening in the sports world today. Ben Roethlisberger is once again in trouble of the sexual assault variety , although the details are pretty murky much like his alleged Lake Tahoe incident.

College basketball is starting to get interesting. A remarkable fact regarding college basketball was brought up by Terry Boers on WSCR-AM today. North Carolina, UCLA, and UConn are NOT going to the tournament this year. This is the first time that all three have missed the dance since 1966. Dayton was able to make the 1966 tournament, but won't be going this years Big Dance.

With that said, I found this interesting little piece on Chicagonow.com. It's a slide-show and career retrospective on Free Agents the Bears have signed over the years.

Some of the good include:
1. Ted Washington (picture) & Keith Traylor ("700lbs of Ass" era)
2. Thomas Jones
3. Erik Kramer
4. Andy Heck
5. John Tait
6. Ruben Brown
7. Desmond Clark

The Iffy:
1. Marty Carter
2. Lewis Tillman
3. Muhsin Muhammad

The god-awful:
1. Bryan Cox
2. Phillip Daniels
3. Kordell Stewart
4. Merril Hoge
5. Craig "Ironhead" Heyward (the late)

Hope you Bear fans out there remember that Mark Hatley made Phillip Daniels the richest Chicago Bear of all time in 2000. Ouch...still, I'm not letting that fact scare The Beard because Daniels was paid on potential (20 1/2 sacks in four seasons). Peppers is getting paid to be what he already is (averaged 10 sacks per season).

Check it out here for a stroll down memory lane.

    This whole big ben thing makes me think of a old saying fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

    1966, I believe was the year UD played UCLA in the championship. But still, a disappointing year.

    Now as for the NCAA tourney. Watch out for teams like New Mexico, Siena, and Wofford. All are dangerous teams that play good defense. I was at UD arena and saw Siena play last year against OSU. They are very good.

    We had New Mexico and Steve "I Like Rapists On My Team" Alford BEAT on New Years Day. I can't get over that stupid loss...
