Garrett Wolfe is Keeping Busy During the Lock Out

ChicagoBreakingSports.com  Free-agent running back Garrett Wolfe, who played for the Bears the last four seasons, was arrested early Sunday in Miami Beach after he refused to pay a bill of nearly $1,600 at a local nightclub, police said.
Wolfe, 26, has been charged with retail theft over $300, assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest with violence and disorderly conduct, according to Miami-Dade County booking information. He was being held on $11,500 bond and, according to county records, was still in custody Sunday evening.

Apparently Garrett Wolfe has taken his talents to South Beach.  We have heard this story before, local sports star, plays for the local pro team, decides to go down to Miami and all of a sudden everybody is out to get him.  Haters gonna hate.


P.S. - That would be a top notch celebrity mugshot, if anybody outside of Chicago knew who Garrett Wolfe was.

Chicago, We Might Have a Problem

That game last night scared me.  Not because of the final score or even that now the Bulls are down 2-1 in the series.  What scared me was how much that game reminded me of game two.  The Heat smothered the Bulls defensively in game two and the Bulls didn’t appear to have an answer for it in game three either.  It’s the same stuff they have been seeing since the Indiana series, doubling Rose high off the pick and roll and making him give up the ball early so the other players have to make plays.  The difference is that that Heat are faster, quicker and just flat out, better at doing it, than either the Hawks or the Pacers.

Tom Brady Looks Ridiculous...Again

 

It has been getting harder and harder to be the #1 Tom Brady fan in Chicago and this picture certainly isn’t helping at all.  What are you doing here, Tom?  You look like a fool.  I mean if you insist on riding a water slide during the lockout, at least lay down on it so you can go as fast as possible.  What’s the point of a water slide anyway if you are just gonna sit up and go slow?  You might as well have just stayed in the lazy river. 

R.I.P. Macho Man Randy Savage

 

Great wrestler, great outfits, great mic skills and great Slim Jim spokesman.  Oooooh yeeeaaaahhhh...Macho Man, you will be missed.  I hope you and Miss Elizabeth are together in that big squared circle in the sky.

Carlos Boozer is as Bad at Rapping as Playing Defense

 

"Mic check 1-2-1-2, mic check 1-2-1-2.

Mic check 1-2-1-2, mic check 1-2-1-2.

Dream, believe it, do it...let's go,

Already know I cross 'em over, take 'em to the hole.

Look back, thank God, look forward trust God.

That's why when I'm in the paint, you know I go hard.

Might go baseline one time in the future,

Run back down the court, like you know it was Boozer.

I used to be another lil' fella with some hoop dreams,

Now I got the game laced up...shoestrings."

They aren't saying Boooooooozer, they are just booing.  This is just terrible and only accentuated by the fact that, Twista raps after him, and Twista can actually...you know...rap.  At least he closed with his best line, so that you might forget the rest of the crap before it.

Hawks Have Gone Fishin'

I know it's a little late for this "Gone Fishin'" picture, but last night was the first TNT game since the Hawks were eliminated.  And since I said that I would post all of these for each team the Bulls eliminated, and people seem to like it, here it is.  So is the dude from the Hangover and The Office from Atlanta?  I know Cee-Lo is and that is how he got to go fishing with the Hawks.

P.S. - Do NBA players actually go fishing after the season?  I was always under the impression that they went to Vegas with their boys.

Get Me This Taj Gibson Poster

WOW!!!  Somebody get me this Taj Gibson poster with the quickness.  I did not know that Taj had that in him, let alone to do it twice.  It's like Taj Gibson turned into Blake Griffin and just decided to throw down two of the most epic dunks I have ever seen.  Those dunk were so ridiculous that people aren't even talking about Ronnie Brewer's dunk on Chris Bosh, and that was serious dunk.

Get Ready for Game 5 with Yung Berg's "Derrick Rose"

 

Ok, so it's not the greatest song ever, but it's pretty awesome that a "real"(note I didn't say good) rapper made a song called "Derrick Rose".  I mean this song isn't good, but it's says a lot about how much I like Derrick Rose, that I have listened to this thing 3 times, and will probably find "Bitch I'm ballin' like Derrick Rose...Derrick Rose...Derrick Rose" rolling through my head during the game tonight.  And it is kind bad ass that they put in a sample from the Derrick Rose interview (3:15 into the video), where he asked why he couldn't win the MVP.

It's time for the Bulls to stop dicking around, they got a must win game tonight.  Let's do this.

I'm Starting to Question Wisconsin's YouTube Music Video Skills After Seeing this Brewers Rap

 

As I've blogged about before, people in Wisconsin love to make YouTube music videos about their sports teams, and I have always thought they were the best at it.  It was starting to become one of their things like beer, brats, cheese and driving slow.  But now Keith and his Brewers Rap has to go and ruin everything that the good old state of Wisconsin has built up during these last few years.  I'm going to need to see at least two more videos of "Teach Me How to Bucky" quality to forgive Wisconsin, for this abomination.

P.S. - Prince is around for one more year, so yeah it's time to fear the beer.

Lakers Have Gone Fishin'

My original plan going into the playoffs, was to reserve "Gone Fishin'" posts for teams the Bulls had eliminated, but I felt like I had to make an exception for the Lakers.  When the two time defending champs, who had been to finals the last 3 years, get swept out of the playoffs, and act like punks in the process, you have to celebrate their exit from the playoffs.

Now That's a Home Run Trot

 

David Price just showed all those power hitters how it's done right here.  This home run trot has it all;  a bat flip, two cart wheels, a slide into third, and "the front flip-roll, with the shooter fingers".  Then top that all off with totally leaving the guy hanging on the high five at home.  Just perfect.

Calm Down, Derrick's Got This

 

That was the Bulls team that won 62 games this year.  That was the Bulls team that has the MVP and the best defense in the league.  That was the Bulls teams that I watched all year and thought could win the NBA championship.

The White Sox Really Really Suck

The White Sox are garbage and that game was an absolute embarrassment.  I know Francisco Liriano has some good stuff, but he has 6.61 ERA and just no-hit the Sox for not only, his first no-hitter at any level, but his first complete game at any level.  Oh yeah, and he only threw 66 strikes out of 123 pitches resulting in 6 walks and only 2 strikeouts.  Ridiculous.  At least they had a fitting craptastic announcing team of sick Steve Stone and Mike Huff to call the game.  Somebody better go check on Hawk, to see if he's alive.

P.S. - I think I just stopped believin'.

Bears Draft Recap: Actually Not Terrible

  

Wait, did the Bears actually just make a couple draft picks that made perfect sense?  I guess it is a little easier when you have 1st and 2nd round draft picks for a change.  Their draft wasn't perfect (and I'm not taking into account that they were too stupid to actually notify the league that they had agreed to a trade with the Ravens...good luck ever trading with them again), but it definitely looks like they got a couple players that can have a big impact on the team for years to come.
