2019 NBA Draft Live Journal: My Personal Account Of This Year's Draft

2019 NBA Draft Live Journal: My Personal Account Of This Year's Draft
This is the fourth year I will be posting my live draft journal on Burwood Banter and it is by and large my most popular post every year.  If you want to laugh, feel free to read back through my 2018, 2017 and 2016 journals. Some highlights include: “There is a 0% chance Markele Fultz is a bust”- This aged... Read more »

Time To Send Parkey Packing

Time To Send Parkey Packing
I have been attempting to write this since last Sunday, but am only now, on Thursday night, having any success putting my thoughts down in print. Following the “double doink”, the play that cemented Chicago Bears kicker Cody Parkey into Chicago sports history forever (in a Steve Bartman kind of way), I immediately left the... Read more »

Would Zion Fit The Bulls?

Would Zion Fit The Bulls?
Zion Williamson is the most exciting college basketball player of my lifetime. His combination of size, speed, power, and athletic ability is something we collectively as the human race have never seen before. A Shawn Kemp/Charles Barkley/Vince Carter hybrid, North Carolina fans can’t even deny the entertainment value Williamson brings to the basketball court. He... Read more »

Does Chase Daniel Have The Best Job In The World?

Does Chase Daniel Have The Best Job In The World?
Blue Mountain State was a sitcom that premiered on Spike TV in 2010 and ran for three seasons. To put it simply, the show was absurd (take a look at the opening. Now imagine what an actual episode would entail). The series followed a fictional college football team, the Blue Mountain State Mountain Goats, focusing... Read more »

I Am Thankful For Mack, Lauri, And A Whole Lot More

I Am Thankful For Mack, Lauri, And A Whole Lot More
As I sat at my dining room table yesterday, surrounded by my family and copious amounts of food, we began to go around the table and say what we were thankful for. Admittedly, I was rather annoyed. For the record, I have nothing against the exercise of discussing what everyone was thankful for at all.... Read more »

Dear Robbie Gould

Dear Robbie Gould
My dearest Robbie, Please come back. Please forgive me. I was wrong to end things with you in Chicago two years ago. I was young and inexperienced when we parted ways. After you let me down against the San Francisco 49ers with those two missed field goals and then again against the Washington Redskins when... Read more »

Bears Weather This Sunday

Bears Weather This Sunday
I swear it was a good idea at the time, but looking back, I regret everything. It was a warm August night when the deed was done. Some drinks were had; conversation flowed with ease among friends. More drinks followed and what then followed those drinks (besides more drinks) was arguably the greatest plan that... Read more »

YouTube TV Saved Me From The Chicago Bulls

YouTube TV Saved Me From The Chicago Bulls
As we near the end of 2018 and I reflect on the highlights of my year, I feel very fortunate. I traveled to Thailand and Vietnam, moved into my own place, and stood up in my first wedding. However, by and far my biggest accomplishment this year was ending my contract with Xfinity. No longer... Read more »

This LaVine is the Hero Chicago Deserves

This LaVine is the Hero Chicago Deserves
The Chicago Bulls valued him as a franchise player when they traded for him last summer and they paid him like one this summer with a 4-year $78 million contract. I questioned the trade when it happened and I questioned the undeserved nearly $20 million a year contract when it was given. The 24 games... Read more »

Pick The Over: Chicago Bulls 2018-2019 Win Total

Pick The Over: Chicago Bulls 2018-2019 Win Total
For those of you who don’t remember, choose to forget, or simply weren’t watching (a mixture of all three is quite common as well), the Chicago Bulls won 27 games last year while tanking. Between benching starters Justin Holiday and Robin Lopez for extended periods of time because we were winning a little too frequently... Read more »
