  2. Come To Think Of It...Mark Cuban Blog Dispels Reputation As Maverick Spender

    The Maverick Speaks One thing that stood out to me when reading Mark Cuban's personal blog at blogmaverick.com is that us Cubs fans may have had it all wrong. Perhaps Cuban's reputation has preceded himself...

  3. Come To Think Of It...Cubs Flunk Chemistry Class and Cleveland Cashes In

    Will someone please explain to Chicago Cubs GM Jim Hendry that when I made the suggestion that he mix things up, that didn't mean to trade away the guys with heart, determination, and integrity...

  4. Come to Think of It...NFL Pro Bowl Changes Pointless, Just Like the Game Itself

    The game itself has always been a joke. I mean, being selected to the Pro Bowl is an honor for NFL players. But the game itself is meaningless...

  5. Come To Think Of It...Blackhawks Meet the New Boss - Same as the Old Boss

  6. Come To Think Of It...Chicago Bears Season Recap: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

    Last week was the tale of two halves. This week, it was the tale of two halves within a half. The Bears jumped off to an early 10–0 lead, then were content to sit on that lead as they let the Houston Texans creep back into the game...

  7. Come To Think of It...Go Ahead, Hate the Yankees But Be Sure To Take Their Money

    I wrote an article the other day that has generated significant interest, albeit mostly people commenting to say that I'm crazy for suggesting that the New York Yankees are well within their rights to spend money as freely as they see fit...

  8. Come to Think of It...Quit Whining Over the Yankees' Spending Spree Already

    So the "Evil Empire" goes on a Christmas shopping spree and all of the knee-jerkers out there cry foul? Come on, that is a ridiculous position to take. I mean, sure, the money these players are receiving is obscene...

  10. Come To Think Of It...Acquisitions Like Gathright Showing Cubs Not World Serious

    "We're lucky we're not in an area, in a year where we need a lot of volume, so hopefully we just come up with the right couple of pieces to make it better," Chicago Cubs GM Jim Hendry said recently...

  11. Come To Think Of It...Padres GM Towers' Ugly Handling Of Peavy Trade Maddening

    Stupid. This was all so stupid and unnecessary. Jake Peavy's agent, Barry Axelrod, is frustrated with the Padres. So is his client, who was getting used to the idea of becoming a Chicago Cub...

  12. Come To Think Of It...Cubs-Peavy Trade Is Dead

    Kevin Towers, the GM of the San Diego Padres, has announced that the proposed Jake Peavy trade with the Chicago Cubs is not going to happen. According to MLBTradeRumors.com, Towers said, "It doesn't look like anything is going to happen with the Cubs...

  13. Come To Think Of It...Chicago Cubs Are Considering Moving Versatile Mark DeRosa

    For many Cubs fans, Mark DeRosa was the MVP of the team last year. Still, for others, he was a very useful player who not only put up career numbers but could play almost anywhere on the diamond...

  14. Come To Think Of It...Greg Maddux Retires: So Long Mad Dog, We'll Miss You

    Perhaps the best compliment I can pay to Greg Maddux is to say he was one of only three pitchers I would have paid to watch pitch. In fact, I did and am the better for having done so. And for sharing the experience with my son...

  15. Come To Think Of It...Not Offering Kerry Wood Arbitration Makes No Sense

    Look, I understand that the Cubs think signing Kerry Wood to a multi-year contract is too risky. I get that. But to not offer arbitration to him is just plain stupid...

  17. Come To Think Of It...Plaxico Burress Barney Fife Routine Likely His Last Shot

    Does the NFL now stand for the "National Felony League"? Because it sure seems that the inmates are running the asylum. The latest being New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, who may now be facing the end of his time with the Giants...

  18. Come To Think Of It...Teahen Not The Cubs Best Option To Fill Lefty Void

    We know our Cubs desperately need a lefty hitting slugger to break up the right handed trio of Soriano, Lee and Ramirez. We also know that several names have been thrown out there, perhaps none more so than Kansas City Royals outfielder Mark Teahan...

  19. Come To Think Of It...New England Patriots Conundrum: Matt Cassel Vs. Tom Brady

    It's a problem, to be sure. But it's a problem that every team in the NFL would like to have. Two starting quarterbacks that both deserve playing time. As a Bears fan, I long for such a quandary...

  20. Come To Think Of It...Charlie Weis On Thin Ice at Notre Dame

    Ice of any kind, particularly when it's thin, is no place for a 300+ pound man to be. Alright, cheap shot, I admit it. But no matter how you paraphrase it, the bottom line is that Charlie Weis is on the hot seat as coach of the Fighting Irish...

  21. Come To Think Of It...Cubs and White Sox Share One City Yet Worlds Apart

    Jim Hendry and Ken Williams, the men who generally manage our baseball teams in Chicago, have much differing viewpoints when it comes to the state of their ballclubs. For Jim Hendry, life is wonderful, couldn't be better, thank you...

  22. Come To Think Of It...Wild Bidding For Teixeira To Approach $200 Million

    It seems that every day a new bidder for Mark Teixeira comes along. And it's not just the big market teams that you would expect. Most recently, it was the lowly Washington Nationals expressing interest in the free agent first baseman...

  25. Come To Think Of It...Picking The NL MVP: Howard Or Pujols?
