I know “the kids” may not care about this guy, but Bob Ley is fucking great.

15 years ago, 16 year old me thought Bob Ley was lame. About five years ago, I started realizing how awesome Bob Ley really is. This is the icing on the Bob Leyer cake.

Better than getting ‘blackeyed’.

It’s completely baffling that no one wants to workout an aging RB on the downside of his career who brings a PR nightmare in his pocket. This is a complete mystery. Luckily DeMaurice Smith, being familiar with occam’s razor, found the simplest solution: a giant conspiracy.

I think your irony meter is broken, fella.

Riley Curry, top sports baby in the game right now

Hossa: “You want me to autograph it for you?”

As a Rugby sir, I have no idea why this is allowed in soccer. A player even getting in the referee’s face in Rugby is usually an automatic red, but for some reason in soccer the referees are expected to take it.

The trend of crowding and haranguing the referee needs to stop immediately. FIFA should instruct all of the pro leagues that only captains are allowed to talk to the ref and that anybody who touches the referee (outside of maybe a tap on the shoulder) is given a red card. Bonus suspension for repeat offenders.

I (a lifelong Chicagoan) hear you, and these are fair points, especially Shaw’s face. (But not Toews, that shit is genuine drabness. Many all-time great athletes share an incredible lack of charisma, personality and non-professional interests, including at least one prime example from the Wings, discussed below.)

... we should all wish to be half as “crushingly boring” as he is

It was a long, tough road to get to this point for the Blackhawks. There were many years during the drunk old man Wirtz days where the Hawks were probably to worst sports franchise in all the major sports. I think Sports Illustrated gave them that title.

I’d feel bad for Noah, because Jones seems committed to kicking his ass. However, he can easily hide from Cardale by taking refuge in one of Ohio State’s many academic buildings.

Might want to investigate what that whooshing noise was.

Counter-Counterpoint: Mike Miller.

Asking one of the most self aggrandizing tools in Chicago sports journalism if he's even a journalist. +1 for Forte

David Kaplan is a Grade-A dipshit.

How does he still have any sort of platform to spew his garbage?!

It's well known among people in the Chicago area who watch CSN that Kaplan is the biggest douche in Chicago sports media.... And we have a lot of them

I knew this would involve David Kaplan. I knew it.
