Brian Urlacher, Gleefully Handsy
What better way to start off your Friday morning than a Facebook photo of Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher grabbing a boob. A real, natural boob, too!...
Baseball Season Preview: Chicago White Sox
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
Could Mark Cuban Be Taking Over Wrigley?
We're not sure whether Cubs fans should be happy or sad about this — we tend to think that it couldn't hurt! — but Radar Online reports (and they would know) that Mavericks madman Mark Cuban is deadly serious about attempting to buy the on-the-block franchise....
If You Want Soriano, You Have To Deal With This
We don't like to think of ourselves as stuffy traditionalists ... but this, friends, just makes us sad....
Oprah, Thome And The Self-Cleaning Oven
It's pretty rare that the epic comedic trilogy of Oprah Winfrey, douching and White Sox slugger Jim Thome unite for a good ole middle-aged Midwesterner gigglefest ... but today is that day....
And THAT'S What Carlos Zambrano Thinks
If you are fortunate enough to root for a team that has an intense rivalry, you probably have someone on the opposing team you raise your level of hate for. Red Sox fans have it for Jeter and A-Rod; Patriots fans have it for Peyton Manning; Raiders fans have it for the rest of humanity. As a Cardina...
Hey, Why Is Kenny Chesney Suddenly Calling Me?
In our original neck of the woods in Mattoon, Ill., NFL loyalties are rather split. Some people root for the Chicago Bears (four hours away), some root for the Indianapolis Colts (90 minutes away) and some odd souls hopped on the Rams bandwagon (two hours away). (Some insane people stuck with the fo...
It Washes Away Memories From The Sidewalks Of Life
When we look back at Super Bowl XLI in a few years, what will we remember most? The Sex Cannon's free-flying vertical missives into the night? Tony Dungy at last setting race relations straight in this country? Jimmy Fallon sitting next to Janet Reno on a couch? We figure the lasting image of Super ...
Super Bowl Blogdome: 'My Answer To Everything Is Just Go Suck On It'
What they're saying about Super Bowl XLI, the morning after ......
Perhaps He Was Looking Forward Too Much To Next New Years Eve
We know this has been beaten into the ground by now, but really do consider it instructive to think of not only of the Indianapolis Colts as the St. Louis Cardinals, but also the Chicago Bears as the Detroit Tigers. In the former example, a team that had earned much recent success finally won a cham...
Your Uninspiring Super Bowl Champion Colts
In one of the duller, more sloppy Super Bowls we can remember — it was kind of the equivalent of this year's World Series, actually — the Indianapolis Colts have won the NFL Championship. We're back from our labors — and labors they were indeed — at CBS and happy to back here. Congratulations, India...
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 4th Quarter
- Hey, don't forget the Pro Bowl is this Saturday at 6:00 on CBS. Mark your calendars. And Will wanted me to tell you that he's asked for the opportunity to glog that one live on CBS SportsLine. We'll let you know if that happens....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 3rd Quarter
- We're underway... the Colts take the kickoff, and Terrence Wilkins dances and steps it out across the 35-yard-line. And yeah, it's been exciting and entertaining, but... I really wouldn't mind seeing a team keep the ball for more than a couple of minutes at a time in this half....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: Halftime
- Liveblogging a halftime show is a first for me. I'm sticking here with Prince, but if anyone has any pictures of the Lingerie Bowl that they feel like they should share with the group, feel free: [email protected]....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 2nd Quarter
- 14-6 Bears as we start the 2nd quarter, and if you like turnovers, this is your game. The winner of this game will be the team that is better at handling slippery balls....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 1st Quarter
- Well, that didn't take long... Devin Hester, 92 yards, endzone. Though I would like to mention one thing... that looked awfully familiar to Ted Ginn. And he didn't really enjoy the rest of his evening after that happened. But anyway... wow. That's how you start a Super Bowl....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: Pregame
- Welcome everyone to one of approximately 8,829 Super Bowl liveblogs. MJD's Super Bowl party consists of MJD, 80 ounces of malt liquor, and his new dog Raleigh, who has yet to learn the difference between a carpet and a toilet. Given the beverages, the animal, his problems, and the potential for 3 ...
Super Bowl Pants Party: Bears Vs. Colts
You know, this football season has been so much fun that we really are sad to see it end. But, alas, it has to, and there's an actual game Sunday, if you can believe it. Will we have another year of mocking Peyton Manning for choking? Because we'd almost be sad if we couldn't do that anymore. Awfull...
What This Means For Us: The Chicago Bears
Way back in August, we asked various writers to preview their favorite NFL teams as the season approached. (We think the most famous was James Frey's "preview" of the Cleveland Browns.)...
Deconstructing Bear Vs. Colt
A shocking result in Tuesday's episode of Bear vs. Colt . With the score tied at two wins apiece, neither of them won! In a move that the real Indianapolis Colts would do well to study and reflect upon (we have no trouble at all imagining Peyton Manning choking in similar fashion), Colt seems to hav...
