What Does Mike Martz to Chicago Mean For Jay Cutler?
Mike Martz hasn’t always been known as the easiest guy to get along with. It’s not necessarily that he’s mean, arrogant, or brass. He’s just stubborn. He loves to air it out. He passes to set-up the pass. His offense thrives on blowing the other team’s offense out of the water, making less mistakes, and [...]

Chicago Blackhawks “re-assign” GM

Bulls fans know the Ben Gordon roller coaster all too well. He can light up opposing teams with instant offense, give you 20 to 30 points when he’s hot and come up with a clutch basket when needed. On the flip side, he can also turn the ball over, hoist questionable shots, and be a [...]
Beware of the Millen?
While everyone else might be wondering what the St. Louis Rams are going to do with the #2 pick, where Mark Sanchez is going to go, what trades are going to happen on Saturday, and many other supposedly important questions relating to the 2009 NFL Draft, my head’s on one much more pertinent topic.

I was occupied over the weekend, so I didn’t see this until today (late, I know), but what to make of Andre Smith’s disappearance from the combine?
