When the Chicago Bears are losing 31-0 at half-time, that is an indication that something is wrong with the team.

When Matt Forte, can only gain 24 yards, that is also an indication that something is wrong with this team.  And, when QB Jay Cutler throws 3 interceptions, that is not good as well.  Meanwhile, Kyle Orton looks like John Elway and as of now, Denver is undefeated.  You prepare for a week on this team, you know that Cedric Benson is going to run like he has daggers in his eyes.  Carson Palmer of the Bengals threw 5 TD passes against a team that has spent a lot of time and effort on improving the pass rush.  Pack in the season, the Bears look like they need a hibernation.  I used to have season tickets to the Bears.  Saw many games.  I am glad I don't have them now.  Actually, the Bears were losing 45-3 but the Bears scored a late TD. Quite simply, this was a slaughter.

     No one is saying it. The networks and big newspapers love to ignore the WAC, Mountain West, and others as if they were a conservative Republican with no charisma. In my area, for example, the Utah-BYU game was not even on television. A game between two top 20 teams was unavailable. A game that would determine one of the schools in the BCS this season was a no-show.

Every expert on television, news columnist, sports reporter to your chat room and forum users all say the Houston Rockets can go deep into the playoffs if A: They can keep Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming healthy and B: If Ron Artest can keep his composure on and off the court. Earlier tonight, if a single game was any indication; Rockets fans will have something to cheer about in late April and May and fellow NBA teams can expect Houston to be a legit threat all season.

Even soccer's not as appreciated here.

Also, the PBA or the Philippines Basketball Association is the second oldest professional basketball league in the world, next to the NBA. This league has been one of the foundations of sports in the Philippines.

Last night, we lost another star to the pre-season. Antawn Jamison went down with a knee injury after playing only 4 mins. Which begs the question why do we need a pre-season anyway. Now the Washin

    The U.S. Spain final may be one of the most pivotal games in basketball history. 

    No, its not just cause the U.S. won. We often mouth the words, "It means more to do it for the country," without it really meaning anything. Its liking saying, "Yea I really care for you girl,"to a girl he just met 1 hour ago in a noisy bar. As long as the guy gets a chance to go for a roll in the hay, (That's the horizontal limbo for others) its okay to stretch the truth some as long as it results in victory.

All sports can be associated with parks and fields of play.  But there is one field that occupied two teams that I love.  The Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cubs.  Before the Bears became known as the Monsters of the Midway, they were known as the Decatur Staleys. It was hard to take serously a team named after a business man, so after hiring George Halas, the team was moved to Chicago and became the Chicago Staleys.  With no time to spare, George convinced the owner of Cubs Park to allow the team to play football on their field.

Apparently the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns have agreed on a trade that would send Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I believe this is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition of Pau Gasol (a brilliant move by L.A., by the way) and do not see how this trade can make sense from the Suns' vantage point.
