Today's Links--Illini Take a Huge Step Backwards Edition

• Illinois got SMOKED last night against Minnesota. Smoked.
  
• I know everyone is saying the Bears should draft a safety, but maybe they should think twice before they do.
• Finally Joakim is starting to play a bit better. Don't expect it to last.
  
• The final Thursday Dick Joke Jamboroo. We'll miss you nazi shark.
• Eddy Curry denied that the child who was murdered was his kid. Apparently the paternity test shows otherwise. Isn't he married? Could it get any worse for this guy?
• Looks like the White Sox have asked Obama to throw out the first pitch. I wouldn't feel safe taking my kids to that park, I highly doubt the secret service would allow it.
• Captain Kirk has been abysmal since his return to the Bulls. How abysmal you ask? Well take a look at this, but be prepared to be in a bad mood.
• Del Negro is the most boring coach ever at giving interviews, which is why the Dull-Negro-Meter was created.
• If my girlfriend really loved me, she would make me one of these for the Super Bowl.
