ESPN’s “Dream Job” premiered on Sunday Night. Other than confirming that Stuart Scott is a no-talent, hood-acting hack, it was really kind of boring. The candidates were of course nervous as Hell. I mean, other than Mike Hall, none of them had probably ever read in front of a prompter before.
Heck, I’m sure that Quigley fellow had so clue what a prompter even was until a minute before he went on. In the end, it was no surprise Quigley got to stay when the “Red Phone” was used. ESPN would probably want to keep the guy that looks like 80 percent of us in the show as much as possible.
Illinois travels to Purgatory, err, Iowa Wednesday Night where by tip-off they will probably be alone in first place in the Big Ten standings (Why? Michigan State travels to Michigan tonight, and if the Wolverines can beat Wisconsin at home they can definitely beat the Spartans. Why? Because, and this is the dirty secret of Big Ten fans, the Spartans just aren’t that good. Nothing to see here, let’s move along).
What is shocking is that, with all of the problems Illinois has had this year, there is one school in the Big Ten that has managed to have even more problems. Of course, that is Iowa. Steve Alford is showing his coaching genius once again in Iowa City, and he is quickly becoming Illinois’ fourth favorite college basketball head coach (Behind Weber, of course, but also Quin Snyder and Mike Davis are in that list for turning Illinois rivals into mediocre puddles of mud). Alford is the Big Ten’s version of Billy Donovan. Tons of talent on the team, and they excruciatingly disappoint by the time the year ends.
In the news, we all know about the problems BALCO has had involving athletes and steroids. There is a connection to the Cubs of course. Barry Bonds is the most prominent athlete associated in some way with BALCO. Dusty, of course, was Barry’s coach in San Francisco. Guess who is going to get asked a ton about the steroid accusations? Why, it’s Dusty Baker!
Mariotti writes a terrible article about Dusty’s involvement in the developing saga, but I might as well link it up.

Until next time, remember: The only truth you can find on Chicago sports talk radio stations is the time you can buy on their air.
Hey, it worked! Although I must say I intentionally kept this short to see if it would work.
OK, maybe it’s not working like it’s supposed to. Or something.
Thank you Tommy Amaker! Since you are a moron, your team gave up a 32-17 run to end the game as Michigan State came back to win by three. If your guys hadn’t been chucking up quick shots 10 seconds into the possession when you had the lead, maybe you would have won… Yeesh.
