But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, they're here.

Every year the Ringling Brother Circus come to the United Center, and the clowns head west for their annual beating.  The 2-8 Bulls haven't disappointed us with this year's effort with their only win coming against the hapless Clippers. At least they'll be in New York on Saturday so they should walk away with a win. The real question is which game would you rather watch the Pre-Season N.I.T. championship game on Friday or the thrilling Bulls v/s Knicks game on Saturday.

Stand Navy out to sea, Fight our Battle Cry;
We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to Victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones, Hooray!

Anchors Away, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores, We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

Hats off to the Midshipmen of Navy! Nothing put energy back into an annual series like breaking a 43 year losing streak. Hell

Go grease lightning you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning go grease lightning)
Go grease lightning you're coasting through the heat lap trial
You are supreme (Uh huh!)

The chicks'll cream (Uh huh!)

For grease lightning
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

The Bears got the ball back with 1:52 left on the clock, no timeouts, trailing 16-12, and 97 yards of turf to cover.  Brian Griese did a masterful job of running the two minute drill and it helped that Philly went with the soft prevent (yourself from winning) defense. The

We're gonna have a good time tonight
Let's celebrate, it's all right
We're gonna have a good time tonight

Let's celebrate, it's all right

Cellllebraation! (Woohoo!)

This weekend Brett Favre broke another record and I have heard nary a word about it. Where's the pomp? Where's the circumstance? Why wasn't the game stopped for the ensuing celebration? Why wasn't Dan Marino doing the happy dance on CBS? It's un-American that we not celebrate every one of Favre's great achievements damn it! Momma, apple pie, turducken,

Now I'm Freeeee!

Free falling,

Yes I'm Freeeeee!

Free falling.

So I turn on the news this morning and I see a story out of Yakima WA . Apparently a skydiving plane crashed with ten people aboard. Seven of the bodies have been recovered and they are still searching for the other three. Now I don't want to sound crass but... Why didn't people on the plane jump?

Next year's slogan: The Chicago Marathon, People Are Dieing to Finish.

Speaking of collapsing: How about them Cubs? That was one of the all time "We're just happy to be

Only the first week of the season is in the books and I already have my fatal attraction back for college football.

Yes Michigan and Applachian State dominated the headlines, but there are several other schools who should be brought up on charges of contenders or pretenders.

 Contenders:

Cal showed against Tennessee that for the first game of the year they are the best team in the Pac-10.  Cal dominated on offense, defense and special teams and have the one item USC lacks, a playmaker.  See DeSean Jackson.  Last year he returned 20% of his returns for touchdowns
