Today, NIU Huskies football begins life after Jordan Lynch

By

Jordan Lynch was arguably the greatest player in NIU football history. You'd have to put the former Northern Illinois quarterback in the discussion for the MAC all-time Mt.

More Money For Sports In Brazil And Chicago, More Problems

By

Thing about television is that it only shows you the unpleasant and the uncomfortable when it makes for better theater. Rarely is such the case in viewing sports. Besides the actual game action, a national broadcast is going to feed you shots of local peculiarities and regional foodstuffs during timeouts. Going in and out of commercials you get the blimp views of the stadia … [Read more...] about More Money For Sports In Brazil And Chicago, More Problems

Bears drafting SJSU QB David Fales: a steal or potential #EpicFales?

By

San Jose State QB David Fales is now a member of the Chicago Bears. He was drafted in the sixth round, and that's a steal when you consider, if you're a NFL mock draft dork like I am, that Fales was considered a first round pick in late summer/early fall NFL mock drafts. So he slid quite a bit. Was that the first of many #EpicFales to come? David Fales has the inside track now … [Read more...] about Bears drafting SJSU QB David Fales: a steal or potential #EpicFales?
