This was an awful weekend in Chicago sports. Besides the Hawks, who seem to be irrelevant to most of Chicago, all pertinent teams (not you Chicago Fire) lost in poor fashion. Here are the ten worst things from one of the lamest weekends in recent memory.
10. Orton still hurt
This wasn't really news to anyone, but with the Sex Cannon at the helm, only BAD things could happen, right? I think it’s fair to put all of Chicago’s sports woes from this past weekend on Grossman, don’t you? I mean, he is Rex Grossman. It has to be his fault.
9. Captain Kirk gets clipped

At first you might be like, “this isn’t really that bad. With Kirk out, only good things can happen, right?” But then it hits you. With Hinrich out that means more playing time for Larry “Bricks” Hughes when he gets healthy. That can only lead to very bad things, like Keanu Reeves in, well, anything.
8. Northwestern loses
I’m not sure this really surprised anyone besides Ronnie “Woo Woo” (the man’s crazy), but it confirmed how big the gap is between OSU and maybe Penn State and the rest of the Big Ten. NU is having its best season in a decade and yet they still can’t compete with the big boys.
7. Jimmy Clausen
6. This picture of Ron Zook
The Irish did not look as bad as the 0-17 score would suggest, but Clausen’s turnovers were too much to overcome. ND was looking for a statement win, but were embarrassed yet again. The worst part of all this will be the hackneyed headlines like “Weiss Watch” or “Domers Downed”.
4. Bears passing defense
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Titans are good, but come on. How can any defense, let alone the “feared” Bears defense, allow Kerry “EFFing” Collins to throw for 289 yards, 2 TD and allow a 108.7 passer rating? You know how many TD Collins had before Sunday? THREE! Something needs to change, anything. May I suggest firing the person with the name that rhymes with Bob Babich.
3. The Illini lose to a MAC school
Three weeks ago I said that Illinois' season could only be a viewed as a disappointment. Now I think we can officially change that status to EPIC FAIL. What happened to the offense? They looked Texas Tech-ian. Where’s the Zook-iness? Maybe Western Michigan is just that good. No, you’re right, it’s definitely not that.
2. LeBron Jordan’s Bulls
So the Bulls were beating the Cavs going into the fourth quarter. Then LeBron James did his best Michael Jordan, putting up 41 and leading the Cavs to a 106-97 victory. Meh. LBJ is basically unstoppable going to the rim, a la Jordan when he was young or like the fade away when he got older. The Bulls are just not talented enough to stop him or any good team and it showed Saturday.
1. Bears lose to Kerry Collins
I think that pretty much sums it up.

I didn't know Ronny Woo Woo is a big Wildcats fan.
Yeah. Little known fact. Ronnie actually graduated the same year as Wilbon*. Crazy to think how different their lives have become.
*This may or may not be true.**
**There is no way that is true.
ronnie woo woo will attend any chicago event where he has the opportunity to get free drinks from people or feel up white girls. i even heard he was at the obama celebration thing last week
since when was Notre Dame in Chicago or Illinois?
I would like to direct you to the Sun-Times sports section for the four stories they had about the Irish today and then you can read more about the Irish in Greg Couch's article tomorrow. Why would a Chicago newspaper cover a team like that if they were not relevent to a large section of Chicago?
If you are really going to drop the distance card, South Bend is closer than Urbana. I don't really see how you can argue that ND is not a big deal to many Chicagoans.
