FRANK THE TANK’S SLANT
A Completely Logical Chicago and Illini Sports Blog and Random Thoughts on Politics, Pop Culture, and the World
Frank the Tank on Twitter
- RT @danshanoff: Never seen so much Northwestern love on Twitter. Unless Bama or Florida loses, this is the big story of the day. 1 day ago
- Nice TD after INT for the Illini! I really wish Illinois had shown up for the first 2 months of the season. Hope Juice's ankle is OK. 1 day ago
- Call me a BCS conference snob, but I really want to see Boise State lose here. 1 day ago
- Aren't the Bulls way more attractive for LeBron than the Knicks? I say this as an objective NBA observer as opposed to a Bulls fan. 1 day ago
- Really liked the points distribution for the Bulls again. If Derrick Rose and Luol Deng continue playing like this, we won't be too shabby. 2 days ago
- BULLS!!! LeBron's normal karmic payback for Michael Jordan making Craig Ehlo his bitch didn't surface tonight! 2 days ago
- Agreed RT @InsideHoops: I support the no-call in that LeBron James drive on L.Deng and J.Noah. LeBron appeared to create most of contact 2 days ago
- Wondering if Emperor Palpatine, er, George Steinbrenner will make an appearance. 3 days ago
- Nick Swisher couldn't break the Mendoza line with White Sox but now looked at as catalyst in Yankees championship. Typical Chicago story. 3 days ago
- Note that Andy Pettite admitted his steroid use immediately when he was caught and no one thinks about it anymore. Lesson for others, no? 3 days ago
