ChicagBro of the Week: Carlos Quentin


TCQ has just killed it so far this season.  AL Player of the Week in week one and he is batting .458 with two home runs and 10 RBI in the first six games.  That makes Carlos Quentin the ChicagBro of the Week.  If Quentin has a big year, that lineup is going to be terrifying and the White Sox have a good chance of going to the playoffs.  Keep it up Quper Man.

So That's What You Use a Pube Gun For


I really hope that dude deserved that and they were getting him back for something, because getting shot in the face by a pube cannon would really ruin your night of sleep.  I mean if they weren't getting back at him for something that was a real dick move.  Dude made it to his bed, and it's just bad fucking with drunk people etiquette, to fuck with somebody who is in bed.  If dude passed out on the ground, or even the couch, you can shit on his face for all I care, but he made it to his bed, leave him alone.  I guess they did care about him enough to put sunglasses on him, so he didn't go blind from having pubes shot in his face.

Roethlisberger Won't Live in Sin


Shutdown Corner - We knew Ben Roethlisberger(notes) was getting married. Now we know the particulars.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback spoke for the first time this week about his upcoming nuptials. In an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Roethlisberger confirmed that he's engaged to 26-year-old Ashley Harlan, whom he met during training camp in 2005.
"We were kind of on and off for five years -- almost six years now -- so I've known her for a while," Roethlisberger told the newspaper. "It's not like a random new person. We dated awhile ago; we have been friends ever since."
Roethlisberger and Harlan became engaged around Christmas, but the quarterback refused to talk about the subject during the Steelers' run to the Super Bowl. The 26-year-old works as a physician's assistant in the cardiac surgery department of a Pittsburgh hospital. She attended St. Francis College, where she played softball.
The two are scheduled to be married on July 23, one week before the scheduled start of training camp.
"I think a small part of her is hoping we hold out for a week so we can honeymoon," he said. "I told her I was laughing with coach [Mike] Tomlin; he said 'You guys might have to have the honeymoon suite at Saint Vincent.'" (Isn't he not supposed to be talking to coaches?)
Another revelation in the lengthy interview was that Roethlisberger won't live with Harlan until the wedding because of their religious beliefs. She still lives at home with her parents in nearby Newcastle.

Yawn...Bulls Dominate Celtics


The Bulls just dominated the Celtics last night 97 - 81, and frankly, I'm not surprised.  And why should I be?  The Bulls have proven that they are the best basketball team in the Eastern Conference (if not the entire NBA) this regular season and the best team in the East should be able to win games easily at home.

Cell Phones and Back-Flips in Amateur Soccer


Two bizarre soccer clips for the price of one today.  First off, we got this guy just taking a cell phone call while playing defense.  He had to be expecting this call, right?  And what was so fucking urgent that he had the coach answer the phone and call him off the field to take the call.  I seriously have no clue what it could be.  It would have to be something both expected and super urgent, so maybe you just sit out the game, its not like you play for Manchester United.
