First Take: Bulls Crowned Kings 96-85 in “Circus Trip” Finale

They’ve reached the end folks. The “Circus Trip” is OVER! Playing in their fourth game in five nights, the Bulls struggled early on in Sacramento but managed to finish strong for a 96-85 win. The Bulls were led once again by Derrick Rose; he had a ridiculous game (30 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds) after [...]

Philadelphia Eagles-Chicago Bears Preview and Prediction

Both teams are coming off a win, but the early edge has [...]

Chicago Blackhawks Need to Find Consistency by the End of The Road Trip

A 2-1 record after three out of six games of the infamous “circus” trip the Hawks have the momentum heading into Wednesday’s game against San Jose, but they’ve failed all season, and during this road trip, to find the consistency that could get them out of the .500 bubble they are in right now. A shut-out win in Edmonton [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week 12: Vick’s Eagles on Top, Bears, Bills, Packers Rising

I’m starting to get the feeling that the top 10 teams in the NFL are interchangeable right now. Take your pick: New England, Pittsburgh, the Jets, Baltimore, Green Bay, Philadelphia, the Giants, Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago. Any clear cut favorites? It’s one big smorgasbord of wins and losses. We will probably have a better idea [...]

Taj Doubles Down in Bullish Win Over Mavs

Blackhawks’ 5-0 Win Over The Edmonton Oilers Is A Sign Of Things to Come

For the first time in all season the Blackhawks looked unstoppable. A 5-0 win and a hat trick will do that. Wednesday night’s game looked, felt , and had all the aspects of a game from last season. It’s all about puck control. The Blackhawks out shot Edmonton 47-18. That is a HUGE margin, and, for [...]

Bulls Forget to Play All Four Quarters Against Spurs

The circus trip rarely goes well for the Bulls. Seven straight games on the road is one tough task. After winning the opener in Houston on Tuesday night, the Bulls traveled to San Antonio on a quest to win five in a row. Too bad the red-hot Spurs had won seven in a row heading [...]

NFL Power Rankings Week 11: Eagles New No. 1 as Falcons, Bears and 49ers Rise

The 2010-11 season has been rather unpredictable I’d say. We are now in Week 11 of the NFL season and 25 of 32 teams either lead, are tied, or are within two games of the division lead. For the sake of meaningful football, I hope the parody continues. We are now back to a full slate [...]

Power Outage? Power Play? Power ‘Hawks!

The Blackhawks had a power outage on Saturday, and on Sunday they looked like the defending Stanley Cup Champs. The power play against Nashville was absolutely awful. An extended five on three during the second period decided the game. On Sunday the Blackhawks bounced back with the effort everyone expected as the scored twice on [...]

Chicago Blackhawks’ OT Win Could Give Them The Momentum They Need

It what could’ve been another blown lead by the Blackhawks last Sunday, turned out to be an exciting overtime win that could prove to be more helpful than just the two points the Hawks earned as a result. As of Monday the Hawks sit at 9-9-2, hovering  around .500. Nothing to be proud of, really, [...]
