After busting through the Wisconsin defense for a career high 217 yards and 4 TD, Heisman whispers have begun for Shonn Greene. The junior tailback is the only running back in the country to rush for at least 100 yards in all of his games this season.
So I ask YOU, is Shonn Greene Heisman material? [...]

Horrible Anniversary for Cubs Fans
October 14, 2008
I have a Sports-Facts-of-the-Day Calendar on my desk. Today was an awful page:
“10/14/2003: In the sixth game of the NLCS at Wrigley Field and only five outs from their first pennant since 1945, cruel and almost comical fate derails the snake-bitten Chicago Cubs. An impetuous fan, Steve Bartman, interferes with left fielder Moises Alou’s attempt [...]

Ugh
October 2, 2008
I have spent my life as a Cubs fan. I remember crying my eyes out when Steve Garvey broke my 8-year-old heart. I relish the ‘98 season, still wear my Sammy jersey (with the Harry and Hey Hey patches), and have forgiven Steve Bartman (and maybe even myself — more on that later).
I am an [...]
