Black Knight = Greatest Villain ever

This is 2011, where you can't touch QBs and you can't even breathe on WRs. Nobody is playing Bears-level defense this season.

The Bears are 4-3 against a tough schedule, have a good track record against both the Eagles and Vick, and are playing pretty good football right now. I'm trying very hard to find reasons that I shouldn't be taking the 8 points tonight and can't really find any.

Can't the SEC realign the divisions like this: West: A&M, Mizzouri, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, MSU, Vanderbilt East: Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia

Yeah, unless you think somebody is in immediate danger, you notify your first-line supervisor first and give him a chance to deal with it, but at some point there needed to be a follow-up conversation where Joe told his boss either you get the cops involved or I will, and that clearly didn't happen.

I don't care who wins, but I want it to be an absolute blowout so there's no talk of keeping the loser ranked ahead of one or more unbeaten teams and no talk of a rematch for the national championship.

Uh, so was mine. I'm not even certain that there is sales tax on something like a sports franchise.

With sales tax, that would push the total price over $1B.

Yes, but the quote in the story referenced a very specific situation, where there is a runner on third (and presumably less than two outs). In that case, getting the run home is more important than not making an out, unless you're behind by 3+ runs or something like that. I would want to hear more from this guy than a quote about that specific situation before I judge his approach to hitting.

The problem with Frank's approach to hitting is that it only works for somebody with Frank's talent.

I can think of a Chicago team that could really use Samardzija right about now.

I would gladly trade the non-stop Louisville/Kentucky basketball talk, even in May-September, for the non-stop Cubs talk.

Buster was on Mike&Mike this morning and said that exact same thing, except for leaving off the last name. F*ck you, Buster!

I'd be willing to bet I'm the only one who had Men With Brooms on their list.

Sandlot was not on my list. Remember the Titans was high on my list, and I was actually living near that high school when the Sox won the WS in 2005.

I also doubt Ohman gets cloned.

Very surprised to see Rudy and Hoosiers both outside the Top 5.

I agree that there is no place for Castro on the 2012 Sox, but his tenure was a very bright light compared to the utter crap that has been the Sox backup catchers for as long as I can remember.

Yes, you can still use SOS as a tiebreaker. If you went 0-16 against a weaker schedule, then technically you were worse than the team that went 0-16 against a tougher schedule.

With Rios, Viciedo, Lillibridge, and deAza already on board, I don't see the Sox bringing in any other OF. In fact, I don't see the Sox adding any position players via free agency other than a utility IF.

The Bears have plenty of their own film on how to stop a Vick offense.

Am I wrong, or could Mitch Daniels enter this race tomorrow and have the nomination locked up by March?

I'm just the opposite. The only movie I find funnier than Caddyshack is Airplane. I've watched both hundreds of times and still laugh hysterically.

Calculating and 'average cost per win in each league' is not a really good way to do this, at least not in MLB. The Yankees spend 5 times (or whatever) as much as the Pirates but it's impossible for them to win 5 times as many games, so the Pirates are automatically going to rate better than the Yankees. If a team has won a World Series in the past 5 years and at the same time made a profit that is acceptable to their ownership group, then in my book that makes them smart spenders.

OK, well then you probably don't know my parents but you probably do know people I went to high school with.
