Outstanding news from the warfront: Stephen Jackson is Charlotte-bound in a deal that ships Raja Bell and Vlad Rad to Oakland. Everyone’s gonna use words like “embattled” and “disgruntled” when they describe Jax because he’s been looking for a trade for a while. It was on my radar, but I didn’t pay it much mind [...]

Dear NFL: Please Explain Your Punishment Scale
Thanks to the Bears’ dismal performance on Thursday night, I’m pretty sick of football right now, so I’m gonna keep this short and sweet. Over the past few days, the NFL has levied fines from incidents that happened in three separate games in Week 9. These were the Falcons-Redskins sideline brawl, the Chad Ochocinco attempt [...]
Thursday Night Football Recap: Stick a Fork in the Bears
I don’t just mean because they’re done. I literally want to stick a fork in some of the Bears. Let’s be honest for a minute, the Bears’ chances of winning the NFC North pretty much went out the window when Brian Urlacher was lost for the season in Week 1. The playoffs weren’t likely, but [...]

Weak Side Late Assignment: South Korea Is One Of The Best Countries Around
So I’ll start this post by begging for your forgiveness: I’m sorry for my absence. I’ll use just returning from a work trip to Korea (South, that is, Kim Jong Il and his rocket firing didn’t even phase faze? us) as an excuse. Or maybe you were happy to have a break from me. I return to the Cube, [...]
MLB Postseason Predictions – How’d We Do?
You might remember that the day before the MLB Playoffs, four of us here at the Cube made our predictions on each postseason series. Now that the postseason is over and the Yankees finally have a championship after eight long years of waiting, it’s time to see how we did. Using the point system below [...]
Pink Slippage: The Slope Is Slippery
All things considered, I tend to live in the future past. That is to say that when something happens, I tend to think in very David-Sedarisian terms of, “Wow, this is gonna make a great analogy for something else that will happen in the indefinable future.” And so it came to pass that I found [...]
