OT: Other Sports 80

[Mrfenn92]

This is the best possible time to sneak some sleaze past the NBA news cycle.

Agreed

 

[Ben Grimm]

Bulls at Kyrie/Udoka circus starts in half an hour on TNT.

 

[Clownish]

Is there a Chicago-area athlete in any sport who was passed up in the draft by Chicago, drafted by another team, and always has/had amazing games against them when he returned to play against the Chicago team?

I hope Kyrie Irving blows his knee out tonight.

I can’t believe how silent the nba and nbapa is with all of this on top of the nets just being the ultimate garbage organization

Blows my mind. Chuck wasn't happy in the pre-game.

 

[Mrfenn92]

White Sox name former jays manager Charlie montoyo as bench coach

 

[hawksrule]

Javier replaced in the 7th with a no hitter and up 5.

 

[hawksrule]

Kyrie suspended.

My four year-old son was deeply captivated by the Bulls game and I had to promise to dvr the second half to watch tomorrow morning to get him to agree to go to bed. Actually neat.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Morning update, my son is up for the second half this morning.

This is pretty neat.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Needed a break to watch some Mario Kart midway through the fourth.

Still very impressed by the attention span to a televised game. Hope he’s as enthused when we take him to his first sports game of any kind when we take him to the Illinois/Michigan State game this afternoon.

 

[Teemu]

Took mine to a Boomers game this year but he wasn't very interested

 

[No Fun Shogun]

He gave up at half time, and we got home just in time to see the final play.

Oh well.

 

[clydesdale line]

Yikes. Ben getting in trouble again.

Ex-NBA player Ben Gordon arrested again, this time at Chicago McDonald’s for battery

Former Chicago Bulls star Ben Gordon was arrested on allegations he beat up two security guards at the Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonald’s in Chicago early Friday morning.

[Mrfenn92]

White Sox exercise Tim andersson player option
AJ Pollack to decline $13 million player option and become a free agent

Cubs issue qualifying offer to Wilson Contreras and he subsequently declines it.

 

[Mrfenn92]

White Sox decline the team option on Josh Harrison.

Watching college football. The defense got called for an illegal formation. They got flagged for lining up directly across from the center. Huh? They said defense has to line up on either side of the center, not directly in front. Never heard of that rule.

Was it a special team play?

 

[Illinihockey]

Big 10 refs are a goddamn disgrace

 

[plasmonresonance]

Might have been a FG attempt, which may be the reason.

Yes believe you can’t be directly over the long snapper. Can be on his sides in the “A” gaps

 

[Teemu]

Chase Brown just went down in the last 22 seconds of the game

 

[Clownish]

His leg went kinda sideways/hyper-extended as he went out of bounds. On to Ann Arbor!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Illinois lost another winnable game, so I’m home town disappointed.

But DePauw beat Wabash to win the Monon Bell and clinch a Division III playoff spot, so I’m at least alma mater happy.
