• The Illini don't seem to have much trouble with the Boilermakers. Big win on Sunday to hopefully keep Illinois in the Top 25.
  
• Briggs helped out in the NFC's Pro Bowl victory. Unfortunately no one cares except the 5 guys at StevieY19's 6th Annual Pro Bowl Blowout Bash.
• Only 18 of 50 states have Major League baseball teams. What and where would the teams be if they existed in the other 32 states? Well some guy came up with all the team names and logos.
  
• Maybe losing Mark DeRosa won't be that bad. I'm not sure if this logic holds up statistically, and it definitely doesn't hold up in my heart. But maybe we are all overreacting...
  
• Is Ron Turner going to be the new Pitt football coach? I wouldn't mind, Lovie can call the offensive and defensive plays.
• Remember that time Kyle Farnsworth beat the shit out of Paul Wilson and started that massive brawl with the Reds? That is one nasty spear by Farnsy.
  
• The Bulls lost a tough one in OT to Dallas Saturday night, but all in all the road trip was a success.
  
• Greg Olsen is really good. How good? Maybe one of the best tight ends in league if we get him a good wide receiver to take some of the attention away from him.
• Remember Jordan's 55 point game at the garden? Here's a reminder.
  

Ayanbadejo Solicits Votes from Bears Fans

Since he must be feeling under-appreciated in Baltimore, Brendon Ayanbadejo wants your vote for the Pro Bowl, Bears fan.



While you probably have no idea how he has been doing in Baltimore, this Bears season may give you enough reason to actually vote for him. I think we know that Hester would cast his vote for Mr. Ayanbadejo, since the return man was complaining about his blockers earlier this year.

Even though he wasn't blocking five guys per return like those sliding guys in Tecmo Super Bowl, you can't help but wonder how much the two-time Pro Bowl special teamer would help Devin Hester this year.
