Well, the moment has arrived for those of us who have the sometimes unfortunate designation of being a Chicago Cubs fan.
And I'm not talking about you douchebags that show up at Wrigley during the year to drink beer and soak up the sun but don't know who that day's starting ...

Remember me?
That's right, I'm Ken Motherfucking Dorsey. You might remember me from such teams as the 1999-2001 Miami Hurricanes. You know, the guy who went 38-2 as a starter for some of the greatest teams of all time. Back when playing for the U meant a damn. Beat that shit, ...

We're starting a new segment here at Rumors and Rants called "Weekend in Review," mostly because it chronicles the events of the past weekend. I guess we'll have to do it again to qualify as a segment. And by "we" I mean myself. Also, I consider Monday to be part ...

Well good for Philadelphia, they finally have a legit shot at winning a title for the first time in years (realistically the Eagles had no shot against the Pats in 2005). The Phillies advanced to the World Series last night with a 5-1 win over the Dodgers, giving them a ...

We don't really buy into the whole curse thing around here. But hey, we're clutching at straws since the Cubs got bounced from the playoffs in such insanely awful fashion. You'll never understand.
Anyway, just after landing in the Domincan Republic after contributing almost nothing to the series against the Dodgers, ...

In order to make things easier for the police, I'm just going to come out and confess: if 300-400 hobos in Chicagoland are found brutally murdered Wednesday morning, there's a chance that I had some culpability in the matter. Or at least I might have if I didn't take the ...

For the past 99 seasons, every Cubs team has had some form of kryptonite.
But this year, people are treating the Cubs differently. Try as they might, no one can find a serious flaw in this well-oiled machine.
Well, those people don't know Dick. Dick Stockton, that is.

On a previous episode of Rumors and Rants, we held a televised YouTube debate on what was the most accursed sports town in America. Our conclusion was that the city of Buffalo held this distinction in a slight edge over Cleveland. However, in a much-less read follow-up, we also ...

When I wrote my first real piece for this blog last week, regarding the sports woes of the fine cities of Cleveland and Buffalo, I figured that the content would resonate with readers. And I was fairly confident -- maybe even cocky -- that I'd get as many as 10 ...

On Sunday night, something entirely predictable happened -- hope gave way to crushing disappointment for a team from Cleveland. This time it was the Indians, who squandered a 3-1 ALCS lead with their two best pitchers coming up in the rotation and got clubbed by the Red Sox in three ...
