Well, what do you know? Another #1 seed in Cortney Hall was put away by Zoraida Sambolin and with ease. Zoraida wins by a final of 18-4 (ouch). Poor Cortney. Sunrise will need to head to the studios on the North Side to give her some some comfort.

In the other game, it was the complete opposite. #3 Megan Glaros survived #2 Sarah Jindra 15-14. After the game, Megan said she felt a huge lift off of her shoulder and is already preparing, for her next battle. She will face Zoraida for a trip to the Final Four next week.

***CORRECTION: THE FOUR CORTNEY RECEIVED WERE FROM TUESDAY ONLY. SHE RECEIVED SEVEN OTHER VOTES ON MONDAY THAT WERE MISSED. THE FINAL SCORE WAS 18-11. APOLOGIES.***

This past weekend, CS brought his kid along and we met up in LaSalle to watch Dreamwave Wrestling. It was a pretty damn good show. Three hours of fast paced, balls to the wall, wrestling. It’s definitely a different experience and the place was packed. Right after intermission, I went downstairs and met Scott Hall. Say hello to the bad guy.

Ladies and gentleman, we have our first upset. In the very first game, #1 went down to #4, as Brooke Weisbrod took out Lauren Petty by a final score of 18-13. In the second game, #2 Erin Kennedy disposed of #3 Michelle Relerford 17-14.

#2 Erin Kennedy will take on #4 Brooke Weisbrod in the Elite Eight.

Games resume Monday and Wednesday. See you then.

Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Bears have traded Brandon Marshall to the Jets. Thoughts? With me, it appears that just having him around is enough of a problem and that’s what it came down to. Talent wise, he’s pretty damn good. Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good.

This trade frees up almost $4 million in cap space and saves the Bears another $7 million or so in bonuses.

Is Dickface next?

Alright, folks. After taking a year off, the tournament for the most beautiful woman in Chicago television is back. The selection committee has given me 16 babes and now, it’s up to all of you to decide who’s your favorite.

Starting tomorrow and Thursday, the first two games will be played. Then, they will pick back up on Monday. The Final Four will be in two weeks along with the championship game. Remember, you can only vote once, so make it a good one. Games will last about a day and a half before voting ends.

Women will be compiled into four regions: DVX, Sunrise Zone, CS and GARY.

And the prize you ask? Well, take a look for yourself.
