If the saying is true, this post is about 9,500 words

I don't have much time to write this week, so I thought I'd share some of my pictures from the past month before getting into my week seven NFL picks. But first, a highly ammusing note from "The New York Post" about a certain former center for the Chicago Bulls:

"In the most bizarre moment of practice yesterday, Eddy Curry burst the exercise ball while sitting on it. Curry tumbled to the court, appearing to scrape his elbow."

This is one of those things that YouTube was made for, yet somehow, it isn't listed. Curry was always a big boy, even back to his days at Thornwood. When he was on the Bulls, he seemed never to be near rebounds, and the joke my friends and I had was that he should just imagine the ball as a burger and he'd grab every lose ball out there. The idea of him popping an exercise ball while sitting on it is just priceless. Good luck getting him in enough shape to run the Mike D'Antoni offense.


Here are my pics, first from the Bears-Eagles game on Sept. 28, then the Cubs rally on Sept. 30, and last from the Illinois-Michigan game on Oct. 4. Enjoy

Robbie's good as Gould extra-point after the game's first TD

Strange how D-Lee was the only real player to show up for the rally and for the actual playoffs

I wonder why "Hail to the Victors" is still stuck in my head
