New Cubs Quizzes and NFL Playoff Odds
First a word from our sponsors and for you degenerate gamblers...
The Super Bowl lines are out and the Colts (3/1) lead the way, with the New Orleans Saints (4/1), San Diego Chargers (9/2) and the Minnesota Vikings (15/2) following close behind. The experts have made their picks, what are you waiting for? Now is the time to check out the latest Super Bowl Lines, make your Super Bowl XLVI pick and show everyone who the real expert is before it's too late.
You got to pay the bills.
Here's a good time to remind everyone of The Bear Truth, the Bears blog that I and a few readers contribute on an occasional basis. I do like the Colts this year to win it all, on the other hand, I got 3 of 4 games wrong in the first round so pay no attention to me.
Also if you need some time wasters, I've created two more quizzes on sporcle - Cubs Top Draft Picks and Cubs Playoff Opponents. At some point, I'll add all of these somewhere on the site.

wow...a desipio article that doesn't turn into frat boy chest bumping or a series of profanities before 3-4 paragraphs end...someone's going to get fired.
This morning I got wind of a new Al Yellon article so poorly thought out, so unreasonably daffy and so incompetent that I cursed the Twitter Gods for suspending my account because I wanted to share some good old Steve Stone motherboy flesh with the world. http://www.desipio.com/?p=4452
rain delay...tarp on field...not heavy, but they're not going to be playing baseball for 30-60 minutes, minimum.
I managed to read it all. I'll summarize: "I want the Cubs to win".
Dude is really going out on a limb.
BA says Cubs are going after OF Eloy Jimenez out of the Dominican

Like base coaches, they'll probably end up with helmets on
