Muller: Bowl Outcomes Don’t Determine Conference Superiority
I will never be one of those insane chest thumpers that feel it is necessary to puff out my chest based on how my “conference” plays in bowl games, but apparently, I am one of the few who actually feels this way.
Muller: Trade Hoopla Makes Me Appreciate Derrick Rose More Than Ever
With all the hoopla surrounding Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, I realized just how blessed the Chicago Bulls are to have a guy like Derrick Rose leading the franchise back to prominence.
Muller: Since When Is $130 Million An ‘Insult’?
When I first heard that Albert Pujols decided to leave the St. Louis Cardinals in favor of the Los Angeles Angels, my initial reaction was one of relief.
Muller: Heisman Trophy Means Nothing Anymore
The Heisman Trophy, one of the few post season awards that I actually used to have respect for, is about to fall into the same pit of college football ridiculousness.
Muller: The BCS Championship Game Is A Farce
There are no “do overs” in life. Well, unless your favorite college football team happens to be the Alabama Crimson Tide, of course.
Muller: 2011 — The Year of The Paper Champion
2011 was the year of the “paper champion” in professional sports, and I have to admit, I have enjoyed watching every moment of each collapse.
Muller: Alabama Has No Business Playing In BCS Championship Game
Who deserves the chance to face the Tigers for a chance to hoist the crystal ball come January? Well, that is the million dollar question.
Muller: Miss NBA Basketball? Blame Stern
Don’t blame the owners for the lack of professional basketball in the middle of November. Don’t blame the players for nixing the latest offer earlier this week, thus extending the delay until at least mid-December, and quite possibly, until the 2012-13 season.
Muller: Sandberg Wasn’t Shunned, Just Unqualified
I’m sorry that all the pro-Ryno Cubs fans aren’t going to get their wish, but it is time to put the Kleenex box away and start putting a little more faith and trust towards Epstein and his crew.
Muller: No Bulls Game Last Night Made Lockout A Reality
Instead of getting excited to watch the defending league MVP Derrick Rose and his Bulls comrades begin their march towards redemption, I was stuck moping around my apartment while my wife watched re-runs of Sex and the City and whatever “breaking news” in the ever-important Kris Humphries Kim Kardashian divorce “saga” was becoming public knowledge.
Muller: $2,000 Payments To Student Athletes Is Fine By Me
$2,000 in extra spending money for student athletes, huh? I can live with that.
Muller: Auburn Cleared Of Violations, But Public Perception Won’t Change
The NCAA conducted over 80 interviews, four former players admitted to receiving improper benefits, and Cecil Newton came clean about shopping his son to the highest-bidder (roughly $200,000) for his football services. Then, 13 long months later, the boobs in Indianapolis could find no wrongdoing by Auburn University?
Muller: The Big Ten Is Weak? Says Who?
The Big Ten has been classified as being “weak” for a couple of years now, and I for one, am getting tired of hearing about it.
Muller: David Stern Can Threaten Cancelation, But I’m Not Buying It
NBA commissioner Davis Stern has drawn a line in the sand.
Muller: Boston’s Collapse Makes ’69 Cubs Failure Look Pedestrian
“Pathetic” is the only word to describe the collapse of the Boston Red Sox. And they won’t get any sympathy from Chicago Cubs fans.
Muller: Don’t Eliminate The Two-Team Cap, Just Scrap The BCS
Any college football fan on the planet knows that none of the crap these bowl executives from the Fiesta Bowl and the Sugar Bowl would exist if the BCS system was scrapped in favor of a playoff system.
Muller: Schedule Set Up For Illini To Make Run
Before the college football season began, I felt that Ron Zook and his University of Illinois football team had the most to prove in the Big Ten in 2011.
Muller: Your Act Is Getting Really Old, Brian Kelly
I don’t know if the pressure of being the head coach at Notre Dame is already getting to you or what, but your act is getting really old, really fast.
Muller: Baseball’s Offseason Can’t Come Fast Enough For This Chicago Sports Fan
With college football starting last weekend and the NFL officially getting underway last night up in Green Bay, we are nearing that time of year when we put away the shorts and flip-flops and begin preparations for another cold and miserable winter in the Windy City.
Muller: NFC Playoff Predictions Are Pretty Easy, Actually
For as much as it pains me to say so, I believe the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers will — once again — be the class of the NFC in 2011.
