|
Sports Guys Talk Politics... Loudly 
We aren't exactly sure how a discussion about using an Olympic theme instead of a National Anthem on the medal stand turned into an argument about how Democrats want to keep people poor and stupid, but it did.

An improper relationship with a stretching machine 
The Tigers are getting hot - could the White Sox be looking at a pennant chase? Speaking of hot, the Cubs look to stay that way against Ozzie and company. Plus, Matt Forte finally cashes in, and Joel loves the stretching machine. Maybe too much. |
|
Swap Meet.... Or not.... 
It's been a forgone conclusion that the Cubs would be trading away some key vets before the deadline for prospects.

|
Showing Our Pride 
Nothing says father son bonding like a gay pride parade. The Coach gives us a first hand account of what was happening down on north Halsted, and wonders where ThisYear Man was. We don't really like the guy, but we have to give LeBron his propa, and even more props for decathalete Ashton Eaton. |
|
Try the Combo 
The Sox shut out the Cubs in the final game of the Crosstown Classic. We'll wrap that up & the rest of MLB. We're also hoping the NBA season ends tonight. Bigg Dogg educates the Coach on fine dining of the roast beef sammy variety, and the new College Football playoff plan. BCS, or just plain BS? |
|
Chili versus Noodles

Croatia in the Office Pool 
Full confession - the Coach is a basketball junkie who spent most of Father's Day watching Euro Cup Soccer! So we missed Thunder vs Heat, but will talk about it any way.
