WOW! UFC 184 Recap

March 3, 2015 by Robert Moreno Leave a Comment

Wow. I’m not normally at a loss for words, but wow. That’s about the only way I can describe Ronda’s moment at UFC 184. As I stated in my previous article, I knew she had it in the bag. Now I’m not stating that I “called it”, I’m sure plenty “called” Ronda winning, possibly even […]

Perfect, Perfect, ….Perfect!

February 28, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

A perfect game of 12 straight strikes for 300 score in bowling is pretty significant accomplishment. But how about three consecutive perfect games? A 900. 36 straight strikes. It is possible, and it has happened. And it happened again on February 20 in a suburb of Boston by Hakim Emmanuel. (Video Courtesy of The Sport […]

Parks and Recreation NBA Doppelgangers

February 28, 2015 by Tyler Chambers Leave a Comment

With popular NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation coming to a dramatic close this week after a successful seven season run, I thought it would be appropriate to take several of the characters from the show and try to figure out who their NBA Doppelganger would be based off of their personality. Some characters were no […]

Rink Report: February 26, 2015

February 26, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

Rough week for Chicago sports fans as it was announced that Bulls superstar Derrick Rose needs surgery, followed that night by a devastating injury to Blackhawks star Patrick Kane. Kane suffered a left clavicle fracture, which will require surgery followed by a 12-week absence. That timeline would set his return date at mid to late […]

Quick Thoughts: February 26, 2015

February 26, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

If you have a heart you got to feel for Derrick Rose, the starting point guard for the Chicago Bulls. How many injuries is this poor soul going to endure? Derrick Rose is a former league MVP and only 26 years old, he should be in the prime of his career chasing a ring, and […]

Randall Cobb Gone and Forgotten?

February 25, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

Randall Cobb is a unique talent on a stacked Green Bay Packers offense.  But his career could be over if he signs with the Raiders as a free agent as reported by Bill Williamson of ESPN. (Photo Courtesy of Evan Siegle/Press-Gazette Media) His 2014 numbers were great with 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 […]

Road to Indianapolis: SEC

February 25, 2015 by Tyler Chambers Leave a Comment

On our first edition of Road to Indianapolis we took a long hard look at the Big 12 and their tournament bound teams. We looked at Kansas, Iowa State and a few others but eventually we concluded that even though are a couple of good teams in the conference, none of them has what it […]

Road to Indianapolis: Big 12

February 24, 2015 by Tyler Chambers Leave a Comment

We are now a little more than a month away from the 2015 NCAA National Championship game on April 6th in Indianapolis so we thought it would be a good idea to break down some NCAA teams conference by conference to see who might have a shot at cutting down the nets this season. We […]

Who’s That Girl?

February 20, 2015 by Robert Moreno Leave a Comment

She’s an Olympian Judoka. She’s a model in the most recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. She’s an actress, appearing in two huge summer blockbusters this year. She’s also a huge fan of Dragonball Z and WWE. Who’s that girl you ask? Well she’s also the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion and the baddest chick on the […]

Boxing’s Heavyweight Division is Ready for a Comeback

February 20, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

The Heavyweight division should be full of personality and fireworks, and various styles like trash talkers, dancers, southpaws, brawlers, and behemoths in classic places: Los Angeles, Manchester, Mexico City, London, Atlantic City, and the event kings of the ring New York and Las Vegas. We can’t forget the exotic locales like Manilla, Philipines, Kingston, Jamaica, […]

Muskies Crush the Bearcat’s Hearts Once More

February 20, 2015 by Jason Fisher Leave a Comment

The crosstown shootout is actually one of the better rivalries in college basketball that still remain because the two schools (University of Cincinnati Bearcats and the Xavier Musketeers) were never in the same conference and they are a meager 3.5 miles apart. While the University of Cincinnati holds the series lead at 49-33, counting Wednesday […]

MLB Offseason Winners and Losers

February 19, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

The offseason sprint for teams to try to catch up to their competitive rivals was fast and furious. More than a few teams made deals to significantly improve their roster, while obscene amounts of money were handed out to players young and old proving I know nothing about economics. We’ll take a look at some […]

The Lights Go Dim in Las Vegas

February 18, 2015 by Mike Jacobs Leave a Comment

On the morning on February 11, 2015, Las Vegas, UNLV, college basketball, and the entire sports world lost one of its greatest personalities and coaches. After a series of health problems in recent years, Jerry Tarkanian passed away. The lights on the Las Vegas Strip will go dark tonight at 10:30pm after the UNLV Runnin’ […]

2015 NFL Contenders and the Off-Season Needs: PART 2, NFC

February 17, 2015 by Joel Goldschmidt Leave a Comment

It was a weird season for the NFC where 10 win Philadelphia did not make the playoffs, but division winner Carolina went only 7-8-1, made the playoffs, then actually won a game there. Defending champ Seattle got within one yard of being the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions since New England did it, then, well, […]
