SPORTS OF ALL SORTS

it appears that the only teams that can beat an SEC team is another team from the same conference so i have an idea to save the post-season bowl system. when the SEC championship is decided in atlanta in december, just award the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY to the winner of that game because the SEC represenative is probably going to win it anyhow.  this will save all the bowl games and they can sign up the different conferences like they did before the BCS.  big 10 vs pac 12 in the rose bowl, big 12 vs. ACC in the orange bowl and so on. seems pretty simple to me.

what a good weekend.  bears win. packers lose. notre dame throats yet ANOTHER big game.  if i was them, i'd cancel the michigan series too!

does the NCAA need to break up the FIGHTING ILLINI??? obviously in line for a piece of the national championship, right? the long downtrodden illini are 2 and freakin zero! 2-0! next victim is the WASHINGTON HUSKIES in champaign. enjoy it while it lasts.

does anyone play a weaker non-conference schedule than WISCONSIN?  check these teams out: MASSACHUSETS, TENNESSEE TECH, BYU & ARIZONA STATE. how can you not be 4-0 going into big ten play? and they wonder why they get no respect for the pollsters. can't wait until they go to OHIO STATE on 9/28 and host NORTHWESTERN a couple weeks after that..

after tuesday's action, the cubs have taken a 4 game lead over the white sox in the battle for the BEST BAD TEAM (BBT) in chicago.  the magic number for the cubs is 15.  ANY COMBINATION of 15 cub wins or sox losses and the cubs clinch. who says baseball is dead in chicago??

BEARS WIN but admit it....at any time during that game, did you feel comfortable as a bears fan? when JAY CUTLER threw that 2nd half interception and no bear player was within 5 yards, didn't you say "here we go again.?"

right guard KYLE LONG shoved it down smarmy know-it-all analyst HUB ARKUSH'S throat as he played well beyond his years in his first real game in the NFL.  the owner of pro football weekly, arkush uttered the famous "the bears blew that pick" when long was selected in april.  arkush has looked like a fool from the start and gets more than a little prickly when it's brought to his attention.

the bears' defensive line was not good.  hope they can fix that before the vikings get to town this sunday.  PEANUT TILLMAN had a hot & cold day with two early interceptions but then was taken to the woodshed by all world receiver A.J. GREEN for 9 catches  and 162 yards and two touchdowns. ouch.

ROBBIE GOULD is simply the best.

saw DERRICK ROSE playing around in japan and he looked smooth as silk but it looks like the bulls and LUOL DENG wll be parting company because deng is pissed they won't negotiate a new contract until after he becomes a free agent after the upcoming regular season. that's normally the home team's way of saying adios. tough business.
