Give the Bulls some playoff advice.
Don’t change your late April vacation plans.
If you ain’t first, you’re last.
Just relax — no pressure. We’re not expecting a win, anyway.
Look both ways before crossing the court.
If you try to grow a playoff beard like I am, don’t be intimidated by mine.
What grade do you give Vinny Del Negro after his first year of coaching?
B-minus. Got ’em in the playoffs and managed a roster overhaul.
Vinny “D” Negro barely passes, much like his team.
B-plus. He’s done a heckuva lot better than some of his predecessors.
Some schools don’t give grades, you know. I think that’s a good thing.
I’d give him a B. And then a U and an L and an L and S. What’s it spell? BULLS!
How should Cubs fans greet the hated Cardinals at Wrigley?
Just a good, old-fashioned chant of “Cardinals Suck!” should do the trick.
They have to speak the language of the Cardinals. Give ’em the bird.
By beating them.
The Cubs can’t hate … until they get to the World Series (oooh).
They’re just birds. Ignore them and they’ll go away. They’re pretty to look at though.
What could be worse than playing baseball in a dome in Florida?
Reading Tracy’s Five on Five answers.
Watching “Bio-Dome” in Florida. D’OOOOOOOOO-OOOHHHHHME!
Why can’t Chicago have a dome over it in winter?
Watching baseball on a TV with jacked-up rabbit ears cuz your gramps is too broke to buy a converter box.
Dropping your lollipop in the sand. It’s way hard to pick all those grains off.
The overlooked Fire could use some love. Give ’em some.
Don’t feel bad about being overlooked. Feel bad that soccer is boring as hell.
Come on baby, light my Fire/Try to set the night on Fire.
Yay Fire! Go kick some goals!
If you touch fire it burns, so why in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks would I hug it?
The Fire is the bestest soccer team around. My fave is Brian McBride.
