Sports Bank #2 officer David K. and I go way back. Like myself, he’s from Palos Township and we used to talk about ideas for this site back in the Southwest suburbs…many years before I founded it. We also refer to our hometown not as Palos Park, Palos Heights, [...]

When our hometown Bulls defied the odds (probability was a mere 1.7%) and snagged the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft lottery, a debate began immediately. Should they take Kansas State’s Michael Beasley, a power forward who averaged 26.5 points and an NCAA-leading 12.5 rebounds during his “one and done†college [...]
Much of America may be ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ right now, but there’s no forgetting Sarah Spain’s commentary on the Bulls’ prospective new coach. Because he’s a name and face that we haven’t forgotten: Doug Collins.

The ascension continues as the Southside Soxmen are having a season similar to my favorite team. As we climb to second place with a 27-21 record. My hitting continues to be helped by Mr. MVP Carlos Quentin, Joey Votto, and the sizzling Ryan Braun. It is being hurt by Paul Konerko and [...]

When the Brewers hit the road 11 days ago, I finally got to stay home. The way Craig Coshun and I handle a grueling, 135 game schedule (plus Bucks in the winter) is by dividing up the road trips–especially the long ones–and it was Craigʼs turn to go [...]

 When Carlos Quentin hit his second home run in the ESPN Sunday Night Game, it was a walk-off winner. And the Cell was electric. Pandemonium. A madhouse…pick your cliché to describe it…should we just give him the MVP award now? Obviously Josh Hamilton will have something to say about [...]

It was considered the “perfect storm†for New Zealand born driver Scott Dixon. He pulled through with a victory at the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, but the treacherous plight of the drivers around him made the day of rest extremely restless. The variety of drivers, leader switches, team betrayals and disheartening crashes gave [...]

In my initial mock lottery after the ping pong balls were revealed I said that Kansas State power forward Michael Beasley should be the first overall pick based on the Bulls current roster and desperate need for a low post scorer. I also predicted that regardless of whether Chicago drafts Beasley or Memphis [...]

If and when the Cubs win the World Series, do you think it will be fixed? Seriously, we know at least one World Series in Chicago was fixed…and yes, it was 80 years ago, but do you think the Cubs’ next triumph will be scripted and pre-arranged? Is that the only way [...]

The Chicago Cubs franchise began play in 1876, but they didn’t erect a statue of “Mr. Cub,†Ernie Banks until opening day of the 2008 season.

Let’s start by discussing the analogies you came up with last week (great job by the way filling in for me while I was away on business/pleasure, the “triple-threat” Sox exchange was quite impressive!) In the last Sox exchange you, Bruce Wayne-Parker and Batboy compared my personality to three [...]

Should the league be praying that teams like the New Orleans Hornets mature into title contenders or is the strengthening of a the Spurs dynasty’s legacy even more meaningful to the sport?
