The Miami Marlins don’t care about the Cuban community and IBM couldn’t really care less about women’s equality. Neither organization will say that of course, but their actions - in light of recent controversies - paint that picture pretty clearly....
The roar is back on the golf course. Tiger Woods winning at the Arnold Palmer Invitational is great for the game of golf; people love to see him compete. Seeing that fist pump has brought back great memories of Tiger winning. I know he won’t be the...
Tim Tebow is making a mockery of religion. He’s like Jerry Falwell meets Oprah Winfrey. He’s popular and a staunch Christian, and he’s not afraid to exploit either when given the chance. Example A: Tebow showed up to an outdoor Easter Sunday service...
It’s time to forget the notion Richard Hamilton is going to contribute for the Chicago Bulls.
I, for one, am waiting for a collage featuring Hamilton sitting on the Bulls’ bench holding his head up and sporting his egg white headband.
It’s funny how Hamilton was pegged as the acquisition to get the Bulls past the Miami Heat.
Instead, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will likely blow past him if these two teams meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Hamilton hasn’t been a huge disappointment, though, if you didn’t have pie-in-the-sky expectations for him.
Look at the facts: prior to joining the Bulls, Hamilton’s combined minutes from the regular season and playoffs was 32,580.
He’s old, beat up and with it being a condensed NBA season, he’s out of place.
The Bulls’ only chance to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy will come down to getting top-notch performances from Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng, and not from Mr. Glass.

You think the NIU men’s basketball program is a joke? Just take the 169.7-mile trip on I-39 South and I-74 East down to Champaign and you’ll discover the latest embarrassment of late in the Land of Lincoln: U of I. Pegged by many as a “top-25 job...
The Denver Broncos took one step forward, and two awkward clumsy steps back this off-season. The step forward was without a doubt getting rid of a half-back masquerading as a quarterback Tim Tebow. The first step backward was signing Peyton Manning. While...
Matt Hopkinson: Well, Sean, baseball season is around the corner. Opening day hope springs eternal for Cubs fan, and mistrust and skepticism from White Sox fans. While I watch both teams, to avoid a Capulet/Montagues situation, we’ll go with I’m a...
The game of football cannot be altered. It features grown men using their bodies as human wrecking balls. Year after year, the players get stronger, faster and the overall pace of the game increases. Within the past month, the NFL took an ugly turn with...
