A Blind Monkey Could Have Managed This New York Yankees Team

Posted: 4th November 2009 by Christopher Murphy in MLB
Please tell me Cub fans and the media aren't going to talk about how Joe Girardi is about to win the World Series and how the Cubs passed on him for Lou Piniella...oh wait, they already did. They are forgetting the whole team factor and how as long as you have a finger to point, you could manage this New York Yankees team.á Is it hard to put together a lineup featuring ...

Week Seven: What We Learned About The Chicago Bears

Posted: 3rd November 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
Who knew it was possible to make a 30-6 win look mediocre, but the Chicago Bears found a way. The defense forced turnovers, which was a positive sign, however, the defensive line and offensive line were once again no where to be found. The offense as a whole looked like a car driven by crash test dummies into a wall, scoring 20 points mainly because of the defense and struggling in the ...

Week Six: What We Learned About The Chicago Bears

Posted: 28th October 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
Although I just realized it is technically week seven and actually game six, I am sticking with my mistake and am going to carry it out until the end. That's the American way.á As for the Chicago Bears, what we learned about them after week seven and game six is they are extremely mediocre at every position except quarterback and linebacker in the forms of Jay Cutler and Lance Briggs.á Unfortunately no ...

McGwire Stresses Steroids To Cardinals Hitters (Satire)

Posted: 26th October 2009 by Christopher Murphy in MLB
"I can't push this enough," Mark McGwire said addressing his Cardinals' players.á "Steroids help you hit." McGwire, former Home Run King, will return to the St. Louis Cardinals as their new hitting coach, and he has a simple slogan: "Get Big...Illegally" McGwire proceeded to pull a Mike Singletary during his meeting and pull down his pants revealing his testicles had disappeared.á "Would you rather have big balls or hit the balls big?" McGwire ...

Week Five: What We Learned About The Chicago Bears

Posted: 21st October 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
The Chicago Bears game against the Atlanta Falcons was frustrating to say the least for Bears fans.á On both sides of the ball the Bears seemed to do the same thing; just give it away.á All three phases of the Bears, however, decided to chip in on this loss. á Red Means Stop? In four redzone trips, the Bears came away with zero points three times thanks to an interception by Jay Cutler, ...

Chicago Bears Vs Atlanta Falcons: Revenge?

Posted: 13th October 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
It is hard to pin-point the exact play or game which kept the Chicago Bears out of the playoffs last year.á Whether it was the CarolinaáPanthers game, the Tampa BayáBuccaneers game, the AtlantaáFalcons game, or all those games wrapped up in one irritating package is debatableá One play, however, stays with Bears fans and it wasn't even a game-winner. á A 26-yard pass from rookie quarterbackáMatt Ryan to wide receiver Michael Jenkins ...

Week Four: What We Learned About the Chicago Bears

Posted: 7th October 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
Yes, it is the fourth week and we are still learning.á This is far different than philosophy class in college.á The Bears were finally able to win as a Super Bowl contender should against a bad team, although, like any Chicago fan, I'm sure I'll be able to find some negatives about it. á The Bears Defense Started Off Slow Again In the last three games, the Bears have given up touchdowns on each ...

Week Three: What We Learned About the Chicago Bears

Posted: 30th September 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
Bears fans really shouldn't be too excited over this win. Yes, it was another nice showing by Jay Cutler to bring the Bears back from a deficit, but who did they beat? They beat a bad Seahawks team wearing bad jerseys missing their best offensive player, quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, and their best defensive player, linebacker Lofa Tatupu...barely, I may add. á Cutler Was Fantastic Cutler completed 21 of 27 passes for 247 yards with ...

Week Two: What We Learned About the Chicago Bears

Posted: 23rd September 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
No more phone calls about bringing back Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman, or some mystical beast named Kex Ortman this week from Bears fans.  Jay is our quarterback.  The Bears pulled off a nice win against the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday in comeback fashion.  The Bears were trailing 14-7 with under six and a half minutes to play, but Cutler showed why he is a franchise quarterback, manufacturing the game-tying ...

Week One: What We Learned About the Chicago Bears

Posted: 16th September 2009 by Christopher Murphy in NFL
It was just one game, but many Chicago Bears fans feel it is the end of the world, and are calling for the returns of people they forgot they whined about.  There are already mutterings of the great "game manager" Kyle Orton or the fairytale preseason game Rex Grossman had...against a second-string defense.  Chicago Bears fans need to relax, put the bedtime stories away, and go to sleep. Like any loss, Week ...
