Hello again Everybody it's time for everyone's favorite, let's make a deal. Today's contestants are the Arizona Cardinals and the Chicago Bears. First we have "Bowtie" Bill Bidwell here representing the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have been the team that's a year away almost every year for the last 15 years. The last time they were in the playoff was 10 years ago. They also have had a

Breaking News from Halas Hall the Bears have named their starter after 2 preseason contests. Kyle Orton has gotten the nod over 2006 Super Bowl QB Rex Grossman. Grossman, who started the '06 season in the same sentence as Peyton Manning and Tom Brady through the first month. After all he was the September NFC Player of the Month. Of course those outlandish numbers he amassed over the first few

David Flumenbaum seems to believe that he can prove the Chinese womens' gymnastics team is falsifying their ages. If this is true than the United States' Nastia Liukin deserves the uneven bars gold medal more now than she did last night. After a faulty tie- breaker (which will be broken down later in the article) resulted in He Kexin taking gold over Liukin, the United States gymnast looked

Having about as much to do with sports as, well as my 2 and a half month old, the Wife had me YouTube search for something about Dwight Schrute Kidnapping/Holding Pam hostage. Before I could do the in depth search I found the following video that, just might be the Best Video in the World... It was the best video in the world....

There have been a number of articles regarding Michael Phelps’ success in the 2008 Olympic, and that is an obvious understatement. The problem I have with the coverage of American athletes is that it has made the public jaded. It is simply not enough to compete at the highest level, to be great, or even to just win. In the case of Phelps it isn’t even enough to break world records or to win

I'm pretty busy today but recently, on one of the days I was much, much less busy, I went back to the Archives of an old Comic Strip from The Arizona Daily Wildcat. Optimal Stubble, written by Micah Zahler, and inspired by the average college guy life of sports, drinking, girls, and sarcasm, was one of the top things of attending the U of A from 2003-2005. Since I'm swamped at this terrible,

Fame was never a driving factor. Gold medals weren't really enough of a motivator. Endorsements and travel are fun and all but it wasn't worth the training. So early on I gave up on any thoughts of being an olympian despite my prowess at Gymboree. Swimming was out of the question, I never had lessons. I learned by the "My dad pushed me in the deep end at a young age and I kept my head above water

There's nothing like a little worldly competition to get one pumped for 8 years from now. This Olympic round I've been doing some comparisons between applicant cities for 2016 and past cities and I've decided that Chicago is the best place to host the 2016 games ( biased? perhaps, but keep reading). In order for Chicago to host the 2016 games we first must beat out Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and

Last Week I gave you all the pitcher edition of the Top Ten Biggest Thieves in Baseball. I actually started that post with Top 20 and realized a lot of the pitchers made a case and thus decided to separate them into a separate category. Really all pitchers making over 5 Million are thieves since they only play at best 20% of the season. I guess it's a good thing I waited until today because one

I am not a huge fan of the Olympics or any of the "International Competitions" for that matter. They just don't do it for me. I like football and college basketball, neither of these sports scream international rivalry or competition. However NBC had me cornered Sunday night as I could find nothing else worth watching on TV except the overly complimentary Bob Costas. Low and behold I tune in just

I started thinking about just how much money the Milwaukee Brewers are flushing away as their prized Closer sits on the bench, since putting him in the game holds the risk of another blown save. More on that later. I realized he was making $10,000,000 dollars this year. He is basically stealing money from the Brewers organization, which I am ok with. So I started wondering, who else is stealing

10. The demands of being Irish-Catholic: Yes, we know that you are a Catholic Institution. Yes, we know that you have a derogatory Irish Mascot. Yes, I happen to be both. No, I don’t feel obligated to support you. Facts show that nearly 14% of the United States thinks they are Irish, and over 26% claim to be Catholic (80 Christian).

In case some of you didn't know, I'm a huge Arizona fan, with Notre Dame taking a distant second, sorry 4Real. While that may affect my judgement in Heisman related conversations and preseason predictions, I know good football when I see it, college football.

There is little in this world I love more than College Football. My Mother is lucky I appreciate the whole birthing me thing, cause she is dangerously close to being surpassed by Saturday's in the fall. I find myself getting ridiculously antsy as we get closer to the start of the season. Today our beloved Wildcats had their first day of fall camp, which means I can break out the beer coozy and

LeBron James is Ohio born and bred, a true american hero. A basketball progidy from the get-go he lived out every kids' dream going straight to the big show, and brought his team to the NBA Championship series. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of endorsements that he's gotten along the way. He's been raking in those greenbacks since he got his high school diploma, and created quite a

I'm not the world's biggest ManRam fan or anything but I do know that he has historically been #24. In Cleveland and Boston he wore Two Four but couldn't upon his arrival to LA (Hall of Fame Manager Walter Alston). So after a couple different back and forths with the Dodger Higher Ups they settled on 99. An odd choice for a ball player, especially one of his Caliber. Typically guys with a 99 on

About a month ago I dropped upon thee my Revamped Top 25, the second in a series of my College Football Top 25s. Of course The Original Top 25 came back in January when we didn't know too much about the 2008 College Football season, but my second round of picks weren't too much different than my first round. Well I promised you all that I would continue to update my Top 25 up until and throughout

After looking over the coaches that are participating in the USA Today Poll there were two things that immediately came to my mind. First: Why don’t all of the coaches in the BCS conferences vote? Second: Why is Notre Dame eligible to vote? Why Should Charlie Weis whose team is not in a conference vote and our own Mike Stoops whose Arizona Wildcats are in the Pac-10 does not? Take a look at

After the release of the Preseason Top 25 by USA Today, or as they like to call it “The Coach’s Poll” I started to wonder how much bias comes into play. Not only in terms of which coaches get to participate, but how many representatives from each conference they allow to vote. Here is the Preseason Top 25: 1. Georgia (22) 0-0 1,438 2. USC (14) 0-0 1,430 3. Ohio State (14) 0-0 1,392 4.

Today a long drawn out battle to see my Step-Father(Mike Dawson) placed in the U of A football Ring of Honor was won. I started this quest about 10 years ago. I would ask Mike at the beginning of every season, "Why aren't you in the Ring of Honor?"...Mike always found a self deprecating way to explain away the schools failure to honor the best local player ever to play at the U of A.

While this is a little more difficult overall than looking into the backfield, I’ve come up with some great players that will be suiting up this fall. Here is my breakdown of the best receivers accompanied
