Bulls/Celtics

Game 6 was jaw-dropping.

This series has been absolutely nuts. Period. It's the greatest opening round series I have EVER seen especially between a 7 and a 2 seed.

The NBA has got to be salivating at the ratings they are getting for this.

...And game 7 is still to come.

GO BULLS!

My thoughts on Orlando Pace




THE BEARS GOT CUTLER!

That was the news everywhere on the first of April, but people missed the other huge signing that day. Left tackle Orlando Pace signed with the Bears to finish his career here. This man is a legend, a multiple pro bowl tackle who stands a great chance of making it to the Hall of Fame.

I like the move.

It gives us a huge veteran amount of leadership that was lacking on the left side of the line last year. However, it does move our 1st round pick last year, Chris Williams, to the right side of the line and I hope he can adjust. Moving to the right will ease the pressure on the kid's shoulders and let him grow into the left tackle position over time.

The one thing that worries me, is that the staff signed Pace because they don't have faith in Williams to hold up after his injury last year.

We'll just have to see.

Blackhawks vs Flames: 1st Round

The Chicago Blackhawks are back in the postseason!

Now if only we can win a series...

Things look real good for the Hawks because they beat Calgary four times this season, but the playoffs are always a tough environment, especially for the young team we have.

I'm calling a Blackhawks win in 5.

Bulls v Celtics: In first round

As it stands, The Bulls earned the seven seed after dropping the last game of the season.
Now, instead of taking on the Orlando Magic, we get the number two seed, and defending national champions, the Boston Celtics.

The good news: Garnett may not play due to injury.

The Bad news: This will be one HELL of a test for a young point guard in Derrick Rose.

As a Bulls fan, I hope they can pull it off, but the pure amount of veterans on the Celtics really worries me. I hope they can prove me wrong.

BEARS GET CUTLER




Oh my God...Jay Cutler is a Chicago Bear!

This is absolutely crazy. The Bears have a Pro Bowl QB.

I am giddy, completely giddy right now.

Let's win now!

Come on Blackhawks

To the Chicago Blackhawks:

Yes, we still remember you although we don't show it very often. You've never been a great franchise, but you have really turned it around this season. Perhaps people in Chicago will pay more attention once you make it to the playoffs. That is of course, if you make it, because dropping the last two games in a row with such a close race going on does not help.

What I wouldn't give to see the Blackhawks dethrone the Detroit Red Wings just once in the playoffs in my lifetime.
