NBC drops the ball


It's a shame that NBC is too busy shutting down sites that are streaming live coverage of the Olympics (in this case hockey), at the cost of forgetting to cover the games themselves.

This is the familiar site of what should be live coverage of the US vs. Switzerland hockey game.

Brewers to Honor Selig (and wear brown on brims)



The Super Bowl is over. For the ACSF, sports is perpetually about moving onto the next sport in line until at a certain point in the season, generally between opening day and the all-star break, the team has statistically been eliminated from playoff contention. Today we move on to baseball. Nothing major was announced from Cubs/Sox camp, but the Cubs division rivals had huge news.

The Brewers will honor Bud Selig by constructing a statue of him outside of Miller Park. I'm not sure how to comment on this one, but the easier thing to comment on is the fact that they will also play this season with brown paint on their brims to show their love & support of Mr. Selig. Baffling? Yes. But it's the MLB.

The Bears Are On the Clock!!!!!

Actually the Rams are on the clock for the upcoming NFL draft, but this is Average Chicago Sports Fan, not average St. Louis sports fan, if this WAS average St. Louis sports fan, I would most likely be guzzling Budweiser, while listening to country grammar, and swinging from the arch, wearing my new TJ Oshie jersey, but that's not the case here.


According to http://www.draftsite.com/nfl/2010mock.htm , the Bears are poised to select the worst player available with their 75th overall pick, when they will select middle linebacker Pat ANGERer out of the University of Iowa. This pick will complete the Bears defense, giving them the ability to strike PAYNE and ANGER into the opposition at any time. The bears new offensive line coach Mike Tice said it best when he said "Chicago is a tough guy town, with tough guy football". The Bears must select players with tough guy last names to avoid the obvious outcome of having a player with a GAY last name.



Pat Angerer will be the natural replacement for Brian Urlacher, because he is white, he has tatoos, a shaved head, and plays middle linebacker. Pat Angerer will wear the number 74 to show his anger towards the 74 teams that passed on him in the draft, he will acquire the number 74 from Chris Williams when he trades it from him straight up for a saloon door, which will be used to fill in for the absence of Williams during injuries and water breaks. According to Wikipedia, Pat Angerer draws comparisons to Mark Simoneau (no relation to Justin Morneau). who is Mark Simoneau you ask? Well, he is currently hoisting the Lombardi trophy from the injured reserve of the New Orleans Saints, that's who Mark Simoneau is.
