Milton loves to hate Chicago, and has been claiming the entire offseason that his issues in Chicago were unique. How should we, as Chicagoans, respond?
Memo to Milton Bradley: Shut Up!
Celebrating Injuries: Tactful or Just Being a Fan?
The subsequent barrage of texts, tweets and comments from White Sox fans were overwhelmingly celebratory. As one Sox fan friend of mine put it, "Hell yeah!"
There's no doubt that Nathan being removed from the equation seriously hurts the Twins' chances of winning the AL Central even though it's only the beginning of Spring Training. But the response from White Sox Nation made me wonder.
Is it right to celebrate an injury?
Julius Peppers, Bears Put Pressure on the Bulls
One, the Bears indicated to the rest of the NFL that with Peppers, Chester Taylor and Brandon Manumaleuga, they're trying to win. A franchise that had historically been referred to as "cheap" gave Peppers the highest total of guaranteed money in the history of the NFL ($42 million).
Two, the Bears showed their fans that, between Peppers and Jay Cutler, they want to sell jerseys. This is the second consecutive offseason that the Bears have made a significant move to improve their team in an overwhelming way.
The third statement the Bears made was subtle, but very direct. Bears' GM Jerry Angelo just made life hell for Bulls GM Gar Forman for the next six months.
Chicago Sports Scrabble: Who's Worth the Most?
The second thing I thought of was "I wonder how many Scrabble points that dude's last name is worth?"
So I did some homework, and was actually fairly impressed. MANUMALEUNA is worth 15 Scrabble points, which is impressive. It is not, however, the highest total on the Bears, or in Chicago.
Julius Peppers, Chester Taylor Sign with Bears. Big Day?
March 5 is a big day, but the best? Let's look back at some other candidates for the best non-game days in the history of our Chicago Bears.
Blackhawks Will Be Tested Before the Playoffs
Between now and March 25, the Hawks will play nine games against playoff teams, most of whom made significant moves at the trade deadline to improve their club. When the Hawks play a home-and-home against Columbus, they should have a good idea of what they'll need to do to win the Stanley Cup.
No Move the Right Move for the Blackhawks
But then the deadline came and passed... and the Blackhawks did nothing.
The knee jerk reaction to the lack of action from the United Center is a lot of four-letter words and sweaty palms. How are the Blackhawks supposed to win the Stanley Cup with the guys they have? What are we going to do? Help!
Pause.
Deep breath.
Bears After Peppers? Buyer Beware
Lots of rumors are flying right now that the Chicago Bears are interested in spending a lot of money on All Pro defensive end Julius Peppers to improve their defense. I have some concerns, though, and want both fans and the Bears to live by the "Buyer Beware" idea when considering Peppers.
How, and Where, the Cubs Should Trade Derrek Lee
It's also time to wonder if your favorite player will stay on your favorite team through the entire season.
Becuase of the finances of professional sports, keeping superstar players in smaller markets is harder than ever. This reality drives some small market teams to unload stars entering their prime in exchange for older players simply because of the boatload of prospects returning in the transaction.
Today, let's examine a scenario where the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres could make a deal that helps both clubs.
