Derrick Rose's No-Look, Through the Legs Pass to Joakim Noah For the Jam [Video]
Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls coasted to a 105-77, blowout win over the Washington Wizards last night. Rose finished with 21 points and 9 assists, one of them being NBA's "Assist of the Night". It was this amazing pass to Joakim Noah for the dunk.

Stacey King's Greatest Hits (Or Freakouts), Vol.1
Besides having an awesome Chicago Bulls team this year, fans are blessed with an excitable announcer like Stacey King. With Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, Stacey has a lot to get excited about. And yes, we know the Dragic dunk is a classic, but we'll save that for a later volume.

Big Baby Blows Breakaway Dunk [Video]
"Welcome to the blooper reel...you Big Baby."
Celtics still hung on to beat the Heat 85-82 in Boston, which is the only time I want to see them win.
It's quite possible that after that missed jam Big Baby went and did something like this:
Patrick Kane: Before the Mullet
You might think that Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane fell out of the womb with the world's sweetest mullet, but that's not how it happened.
Here's the feature done on Kane right before the 2007 NHL Draft. You can see the makings of the mullet there, but it's not quite sprouted. It's more of a Dirk Nowitzki-type look.
Da Coach Can Still Deliver a Great Pregame Speech
There wasn't as much fire in him as there was in the glory days, but Mike Ditka can still deliver a pregame speech, as he and Steve Mariucci did before the 2011 Under Armour All-America Game on 1/5/11 from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.
Here are highlights of that speech, and from the game.

Watch the Metrodome Roof Collapse [Video]
This almost looks like some sort of CGI special effects, but it's not. Unfortunately this really happened. It's the Metrodome roof collapsing in Minnesota.The Vikings-Giants game has been moved to Detroit and will be played tonight.
What's Mike North Up To? Talking Gas, Elizabeth Edwards and Keith Olbermann
Bristol Palin. Elizabeth Edwards. Gas prices. Keith Olbermann. Is it Glenn Beck's show? WIND-AM? MSNBC? Nope. It's Mike North and his new webcast called, "The 5 Minute Half Hour News".
So what is it? "5 minutes in 30 minutes, for you folks with ADD, for you folks that don't have a lot of time. You wanna know the news of the world? You wanna know the pertinent stuff? It's right here!"
North continues to reinvent himself, and get paid for it along the way. He already has several sponsors on board ("American Mattress -- 80 stores nationwide!") and is bringing back some of his old bits like "The Bookie Priest". He also produces a short video each day titled, "I'm Just Sayin'!", derived from one of North's trademark catchphrases.
North is also doing a weekend radio show on Fox Sports. This after his "Monsters in the Morning" switched stations and became "Monsters and Money in the Morning", then was canceled, and after the internet radio venture he was a part of blew up.
North continues to do what most Chicagoans do. He takes his hits, gets back up and goes to work. A lot. He shakes off criticism, ignores the haters and does what he does. Even on his former station, WSCR, a lot of the talent like to poke fun at him, some of it seemingly mean-spirited. I'd guess that North made most of them a lot of money over the years, and like him or not, there is no Score without him.
It's somewhat hard to believe that there isn't a place for North on local sports radio, but then I am not privy to things such as contract negotiations or bridges burned or any of that inside talk. I could be wrong, but I'd guess there is still a solid fan base that would still like to hear him on-air.
Maybe someday. But for now North will keep on, keepin' on. And The Bookie Priest? He nailed the Titans +3 last night.

Chicago Bears Fans Share Their '85 Bears Memories
Chicago Bears fans walked up to special "living rooms" around downtown Chicago and Soldier Field to share their favorite stories and memories of the 1985 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears. A variety of the shared memories from Allstate's "Call to Glory" events will be featured during the Allstate Glory Days tribute on Nov. 5.
Randy Moss "One Clap" Auto-Tune [Video]

I can go with the 2 porta-potties and dumpster being perfect for anything to do with the Packers -- or -- I can go the route of this likely-too-drinky Green Bay Packers fan still wearing the Favre jersey to a Packers game. I'll just use both. And I'll add this: I bet he peed his pants!

Dan Hampton: Vikings Need to "Hit That Town Like Katrina"

Nationals and Marlins Brawl [Video]
This is not your average baseball brawl. Keep your eye on the first baseman after Nationals outfielder Nyjer Morgan rushes the mound. Former Cubs manager Jim Riggleman has a bit of a loon on his hands in Morgan.
Meet the Amazing No-Armed Pitcher
An incredible story.
An accompanying article to the video said that the pitcher, Tom Willis, has thrown out the first pitch this year for the Tampa Bay Rays, Florida Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, Cleveland Indians, Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds -- and the Texas Rangers will be next.
Willis is a motivational speaker who wants to throw out the first ball at every major league baseball stadium. I think the Cubs and White Sox need to give him a call. I also think it's awesome that his name is Tom Willis. The fictional Tom Willis was the neighbor of George Jefferson on "The Jeffersons". That show is totally underrated.

Bone-Rattling Youth Football Hit [Videos]
These Bears sure do know how to hit. Not the Chicago Bears -- they still need some more practice. I'm talking about the Bloomingdale Bears, a local youth football team. Keep your eyes on the split end, and watch how he annhilates the opposing defender. Somewhere, Coach Ditka weeps with joy.
Here it is from another angle.
That kid gets laid out and he doesn't get up for a while. We hope he's feeling better. We also hope that the Bloomingdale Bears will allow the Chicago Bears into one of their practices so they can learn to block like that. 5 sacks by the Raiders? Really?
Jay Glazer at Chicago Bears Training Camp
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer is visiting NFL training camps for his "Glaze Across America" segments, and he was gushing about the Chicago Bears during his trip to Bourbonnais. He might be doing that about each team, but it's still good to see a national guy stoked about the Bears chances.
Cubs Fans Lead League in Awesome Beer Chugging
We know that fans seem to suffer from too much partying at Wrigley, but at least Chicago Cubs fans lead the league in one thing: catching baseballs with their beer cups and then chugging them down. Reds outfielder Jonny Gomes gets the assist on this one.
So we got that going for us. Sigh.

Too Much Partying? Fan Wheeled Out of Wrigley
Sometimes what happens in the stands is more exciting than what happens during the game. This can certainly be the case at Wrigley Field. This fan must have been pretty bored with how the Cubs were playing because it looks as if he had one two way too many drinks.
At least he gave the fans something to cheer about. Chicago baseball teams are a combined 46-56 at the moment.

Flyers' Carcillo Nails His Own Teammate, Jaws with Kopecky [Video]
Philadelphia Flyers annoyance Dan Carcillo thought he had Blackhawks winger Tomas Kopecky lined up and in his sights. He might want to get his radar adjusted. Instead of Kopecky he nailed Jeff Carter -- his own teammate.
Kopecky has been great in replacing Andrew Ladd. He did not play in the San Jose series but had an assist and the game-winning goal in game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Chicago Cubs 1986 Burger King Commercial

And is that the next Cubs manager stealing 2nd base in the commercial? Maybe...

Kevin Garnett Continues to Be the NBA's Biggest Wuss
In all my years of watching sports I've never gone from liking a player so much to despising him as I have done with Kevin Garnett. He talks way too much smack, disrespects other players, takes on smaller players and as Joakim Noah said, Garnett is a dirty player. His latest exhibit of this behavior came when he elbowed DePaul alum Quentin Richardson.

Kevin Garnett Thought He Was Playing Michael F'ing Jordan
Kevin Garnett was more than disappointed with the Celtics loss at home to Kevin Durant and the Thunder. He drops a major f-bomb on live TV and has a bad case of the sulkies.
Boston has dropped 2 straight and slid to the 4th seed in the East. If the season ended today they would go up against the Bucks in round 1 of the playoffs, and hopefully Scott Skiles has enough wiles to get the Bucks past the Celtics. That would be wonderful.
Maybe Garnett is still sore from his 'nasty' fall the other night.
