The Chicago Bears ARE the team to beat in the NFC and these Green Bay Packers won’t stand a chance.

You read it, the Chicago Bears are THE team to beat in the weak NFC Conference. I know I know, we can make a case for the Dallas Cowboys or the New Orleans Saints but the fact of the matter is, the Bears have the most complete team in the NFC and here’s why.

In case you haven’t heard of it by now, the Chicago Bears win NFL Football games because of their defense. The Bears defense have that authority to shut down any NFL Football team, no matter how bleak the situation is.

Of course we all saw that when the Chicago Bears defense rallied from a huge 20-plus points deficit to beat the stunned Arizona Cardinals in the second half. This loss was disheartening for the Cardinals. They were looking quite good hovering around .500 then, but after what the Bears defense did to their rookie quarterback Matt Leinart, the Cardinals wasn’t the same since.

And who can forget the infamous ”the Bears are who we thought they were” line during that fateful post-game press conference? Now THAT was funny. Even funnier than defensive leader, Brian Urlacher, making any offensive lineman from the opposing team piss on his pants.

Special teams. Yep, these Chicago Bears have special teams that can…

Seven straight seasons.

Yep, Tony Dungy was able to lead his NFL Football teams to the playoffs for a remarkable seven straight seasons now, going on eight with the Indianapolis Colts this year.

He is as respected as any man in the game, both as a person and for his coaching ability. And yet, not only has he never won a Super Bowl, he has never reached one. And not only has he never reached one, but there are those who whisper he never will because he lacks the one thing a Super Bowl-winning coach needs, the killer instinct to push aside everything else.

What’s the problem? The man lacks emotion.

The cameras never catch coach Dungy shouting his lungs out. Cameras never catch coach Dungy talking to his players in a manner Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells does. And yep, cameras will never catch coach Dungy cursing under his breath.

Is the guy just too nice to be an NFL Football head coach?

Tony Dungy is still going through a personal tragedy, the suicide of his 18-year-old son, James, last year, Dec.22. However, in spite this tragedy, Dungy was able to turn it into a social cause, reaching out to those trying to prevent…

Knicks-Nuggets brawl? BAH! Carmelo Anthony suspension? BAH! Kenyon Martin issue? BAH! (Nuggets powder blue unis?) BAH!

Yep, apparently, the Denver Nuggets literally found the ANSWER to all their troubles in NBA Basketball. After we saw the ”alleged” George Karl – Kenyon Martin feud unfold last season, after watching the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets kick each other’s ass the past few weeks and after seeing how the NBA slapped Carmelo Anthony with a 15-game suspension, all’s well in the rocky mountains of Denver.

For weeks, the Denver Nuggets were searching for an answer to all these bumps on the road for an NBA Championship. After completing a trade with the troubled Philadelphia 76ers, the Nuggets found an ANSWER, literally.

Denver Nuggets head coach George Karl is finding that the addition of Allen Iverson from Philly has brought much more to his team than 25 points and 11 assists a game, MVP-type stats in their own right.

Since joining the Nuggets, Iverson has shown he can talk a good game, too. His constant chatter with teammates has added a source of energy and positive thinking the Nuggets were missing, Karl said.

”It’s definitely an asset I didn’t know was there,” George Karl said. ”I hadn’t heard that about him. I heard he was a good teammate. His positive energy is…

A Las Vegas buffet is as stuffed as it gets, unfortunately for the popularly bulimic like Lindsay Lohan.

Gal pals Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton are known as the poster girls of all bad things adolescent girls can possibly emulate from their celebrity role models — including eating disorders. It may keep them on top spots at online searches and sports betting props but they are sorely missing out on Las Vegas buffets. The girls go shopping in Sin City but forego some of the best Las Vegas restaurant dining deals by trading eat-all-you-can for nothing but water and alcohol.

Carmelo, what have you done?

Aside from leaving one big-ass hole in my fantasy team, you single-handedly destroyed everything you have worked for from being a pretender to an All-Star player after that sucker punch you unloaded on Mardy Collins.

Yep, you read it, Carmelo Anthony had everything going for him before that fateful Nuggets-Knicks brawl at Madison Square Garden. And I’m sure, even though Madison Square Garden is used to big fights such as the Hulk Hogan – Andre the Giant wrestling match or those legendary Muhammad Ali title bouts, THIS was not the fight MSG had in mind.

Coming to this NBA Basketball season, Carmelo Anthony was looking to equal or even surpass the level of the Kobe Bryants and the Kevin Garnetts.

Coming to this NBA Basketball season, Melo wanted to leave his draft mates in the dust as he goes for the upper echelons of super stardom. So what did Melo do?

Well, Carmelo Anthony became the best player on the United States men’s basketball team. Here, he was able to change his image from a ”me first” kind of guy to the team player he was before the now infamous MSG melee.

He was outshining draft mates, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, in this NBA Basketball season, leading the league in scoring and carrying the Denver Nuggets to one of the more solid starts in the…

Tick… tock… tick… tock…

Yep, New York Giants running back Tiki Barber is still holding by his decision to call it quits after the NFL Football regular season. Tiki is STILL at the prime of his career and according to some NFL analysts, it’s absolutely nuts to walk away from the game now.

Well, not to Tiki. Apparently, the decision to call it quits dawned on him the morning after his New York Giants pulled off a dramatic comeback victory over Donovan McNabb, (he wasn’t injured YET then…) and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles.

That’s when he knew that this would be his final NFL Football season.

”I felt like I was 50 years old,” Tiki Barber said. ”I consciously told myself, ‘I don’t want to do this anymore. I want to move on with the rest of my life.”’

The New York Giants staged a remarkable fourth-quarter rally against the Philadelphia birds and beat their divisional rival in overtime. After the game, Tiki Barber was exhausted.

”Literally, the next morning, I couldn’t pick my head up off my pillow because I had an injury to my neck and back,” he said. ”My kids wanted to play with me, but all I could do was lay in bed. Jeremiah Trotter hit me like 20 times. I was tired. I was beat up. I didn’t recover from that…'’

Hot, wild underage girls doing hot, wild underage things on camera. Sounds better than Christmas?

What may seem like the best wet dream come true to our porn-loving-boy-for-life selves just turned into the worst nightmare for the guy who amassed a fortune by making it all happen. The multimillionaire founder of the Girls Gone Wild sex video empire just got slapped a court sentence or three for filming teenage girls in his hot saucy videos and DVDs.

Mantra Films Inc. is the production outfit behind Girls Gone Wild, a brand of sex videos that famously feature young girls in raunchy scenarios where they bare big boobs and all.

A fast charger in the sex video industry, Mantra Films found itself in the hot seat, but not sexy, when two of its Girls Gone Wild were found to be minors — that is, not just young-looking girls but the real below-18 Kahuna.

The sex videos at issue were ones filmed on Panama City Beach in spring break 2003. They had two 17 year olds among their Girls Gone Wild, which have been released on video and DVD. The underage girls were filmed in drunken, dirty, breast-exposing sexual acts in these Girls Gone Wild sex videos.

Mantra Films pleaded guilty in a case that stemmed from its use of two 17 year olds in said Girls Gone Wild sex videos. The company, based in Santa Monica, California, was fined $1.6 million, plus its multimillionaire founder, Joe Francis, was sentenced to community service this December.

Yep, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis got…

Jeez… What did you expect?

Are there some still surprised about the Oakland Raiders being snubbed by the NFL Pro Bowl voting for Hawaii this year? Well, after a pathetic stand in this NFL Football season by these struggling Raiders, they shouldn’t be.

Just like in NBA Basketball, a good player in a very very PATHETIC team makes that good player look as bad. Remember Melo’s All-Star snub last year? Melo didn’t get the All-Star game invite because the Denver Nuggets were that bad. The Nuggets were bad, so Carmelo looked bad.

After all, it’s a team sport right? And if your team SUCK, then you can bet your ass people will see you SUCK shit as well, no matter how good you say you are. And with the Raiders’ case, they should not be expecting anything different.

Pro Bowl day always turns out to be as much about who doesn’t make it as who does. Considering the crying that comes down, a case could be made the day deserves a new name, something like Pro Bawl day.

The Oakland Raiders didn’t expect much from the announcements of who would be going to Hawaii on Feb.10 for the annual all-star game. But, even with the losing record this season, they expected more than they got. Yep, they actually expected more.

Well, in fairness to the Oakland Raiders, they do have the no.1 pass defense and no.4 overall defense in NFL Football this year. Yep, the Raiders do have one of the…

Puh-lease, tell Pat Riley to just shut the fuck up.

Yep, apparently, the slick Miami Heat head coach named Pat Riley is still whining about the injury to his star player, Dwyane Wade, going down early in the first quarter in a game against the Chicago Bulls without any points whatsoever to show for.

Yes, D-Wade went down with a wrist injury in the first quarter, ultimately taking him out for the rest of the game where the Heat lost quite miserably, 109-103. Now injuries happen ALL THE TIME in American sports, especially in NBA Basketball. And when you play stupid like Wade who just initiates contact more often than not, hoping that officials will award him with yet another fucking free throw, injuries are inevitable every goddamn game.

The problem I have here is Pat Riley thinks the Chicago Bulls injured his 6′4′’ bitch intentionally. Jeez… Gimme’ a break.

Wade left early in Chicago’s 109-103 win with a sprained right wrist, and after the game, Miami Heat head coach Pat Riley accused Chicago Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich of dirty tactics.

‘’Hinrich pulled his hand. He does it all the time,'’ Riley told reporters. ‘’That’s what he does. Anytime Dwyane comes off screens, they will always grab his shirt or grab his hands. It’s a tactic down below the body, the official can’t see it. He had Dwyane’s hand, and [when Wade] tried to pull it out of there, I think something happened.'’

Puh-lease…

What’s up with NBA head coaches today? First New York Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas told his players to foul those Denver Nuggets starters on the…

It was the headbutt that was heard around the world, and now it has become the inspiration for Italy’s latest fashion trends.

Italian fashion designer Alessandro Ferrrari has come up with a new range of leisure wear that is inspired by the notorious soccer incident that happened during last summer’s World Cup when Zinedine Zidane headbutted Marco Materazzi in the chest during the final match between France and Italy.

The new line of leisure wear includes the motif of a man headbutting another man to items of clothing such as fleeces and t-shirts.

The motif is coupled with a multi-colored symbol that reflects the French and Italian national flags, which is to signify unification and understanding between the nations.

According to the Mpdclick Web site, Ferrari told Italian news agency Fidest: “The idea came to me on a wave of emotion after Italy won the World Cup”

“After Zidane’s headbutt on Materazzi I thought of turning that unsavory act into a positive social message aimed at the youngsters, and at the same time offering a trendy product of high quality.”

Zidane was sent off in the second period of extra time in the July 9 World Cup final for head-butting Materazzi, who had insulted the French midfielder.

Zidane retired from football after the World Cup, which France lost to…
