NFL Roundup: Bears Down!
• Hey, so what did happen to the Bears yesterday? We know they had trouble handling the Buzzsaw, but hey, who doesn't?

On an evening where he shot 1-of-9 from the floor, had 1 assist (a shocking number for a point guard who played 26 minutes), four points, and six turnovers, Stephon Marbury heard the boos from the Garden crowd. Although I believe Marbury chose to believe that they were yel...

NBA Roundup: Ring Of Fire
The NBA opened its regular season on Tuesday with two games ... hardly enough to action to get our basketball engines revved. But they did involve the Lakers and Heat, so let's examine Day One with a little tiny NBA Roundup....
Jeff Suppan Will Win For You, But He Will Not Let You Clone Him
So since we've been in the Midwest this week, we've appreciated the primal pleasure of a good political attack ad. Most of the races in New York aren't close, so everyone's all nicey-nice in their ads. Not so in Missouri, where there's not only a brutal Senate battle between Jim Talent and Claire Mc...

NFL Roundup: Orton Should Be Getting To Bed Right About ... Now
• So we actually stayed up and watched the full scale of the Bears' dismantling of the defending NFC champions last night, and we're pretty sure nobody's going to beat Chicago for quite a while. It actually hurt us to watch them hurt the Seahawks; everyone looked bigger, stronger, faster, meaner. ...
Five Tiny Tidbits On: The Seattle SuperSonics
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner (no, not that corner; that's curling).
