Ten Foot Mailbag
Ten Foot Mailbag: Oh No, There’s A Packers Fan Reality Show
First, the show will be awful, even by reality TV standards.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Does Food Poisoning Diminish Jordan’s Flu Game?
If it’s even true it’s not less impressive because—and I can only speak from what others have told me—food poisoning is one of the worst non-life-threatening non-Nicholas Cage movie things one can experience.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Talking To Kids About Boston And Apologizing To PSU Fans
It was a really, really, really, really, really, really bad week to say the least. Chicagoans should count themselves lucky that it was mostly just our commutes and basements that were ruined.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Paying College Athletes And Shortening The MLB Season
One of my favorite things to ever happen in sports is occurring this weekend.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Cubs & White Sox 2013 Records
One good thing about the Cubs being likely bad in 2013 is that nobody can chalk it up to a goat.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Bears Moves And Spring Baseball Broadcasts
Of course there’s no way to be sure on any signing or trade or draft pick until after there has been actual significant game play, but as of right now I like the Phil Emery moves.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Booing Former Players And Learning Hockey
Booing a guy who used to be on your favorite team and now is on another team is beyond stupid.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Dealing With Rec League Cheaters
O.J. Pistorius. That’s what I’ve begun calling the South African runner accused of murdering his girlfriend (and I don’t want to place value on one murder victim over another, but holy Mandela, that woman was gorgeous).
Ten Foot Mailbag: Jordan’s Birthday And An Emailing Bigot
Just one email this week, actually. This person was so moved by a sports column that he felt compelled to type all this and click send.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Who Wins A Chicago Championship Next And Jersey Etiquette
I was very impressed with the way the Chicago Blackhawks handled themselves Thursday night in their first meeting with Raffi Torres since Torres injured Marian Hossa on an illegal hit last year.
Ten Foot Mailbag: The Te’o Story Brings Out The Worst In People
I very much believe Te’o has lied about much of this, and I feel it’s probable that within this whole odd trip we’re all on that the former Notre Dame linebacker is out for some personal gain from all this and that his sob story is not something to buy into fully.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Bears Future Coach And Immature Athletes
Happy New Year. Let’s be honest—2012 really sucked for Chicago sports. Outside of college football, with the either loved or hated Notre Dame, Northwestern being above average in a bad B1G conference, and the 14 people that were Northern Illinois football fans before the season started, rooting for teams here was very banana-esque.
Ten Foot Mailbag: I’d Be Josh Hamilton’s Handler
Wait, you’re going to pay me probably six figures to travel with an MLB All-Star and make sure he’s not drinking or doing drugs? And you’re going to refer to me as a “Major League staff assistant?” Um, yes, please.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Could Bo Jackson Have Been The Best Ever?
The greatest running back ever had Bo stayed healthy and given up baseball? That’s a tough call. Most exciting? Most athletic? Those were for sure.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Cutler Sells And Christmas Songs
While it might seem obvious that marketing and advertising people probably think that Cutler’s pouty face or abrasiveness with the media begets bad results for product endorsement, it’s actually all on Cutler himself.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Bears O, Obama, And Oh, Paterno Emails
When you have a Jay Cutler and a Brandon Marshall, an offensive coordinator can be—hell, probably should be—aggressive.
Ten Foot Mailbag: What If Yaz Actually Hates Hawk?
Imagine—Hawk sits alone in his bedroom splashed with Yaz posters and memorabilia a la a Belieber.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Lance Armstrong Vs. Tiger Woods
Just one question for this week’s TFMB because, well, I said so.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Bears Bye Week Blues
Ugh, the Bears bye week.
Ten Foot Mailbag: Bears Will Lose Sunday, AL MVP, And Tacos
Trap game, son! While I certainly hope otherwise, I’m planning on the Chicago Bears losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
