I'm Chip Ramsey a career broadcaster who has been a sports radio program director in Milwaukee and Nashville. I've covered everything from high school and college sports (including the SEC, Big Ten, MVC and OVC) to Major League Baseball, The NFL and the NHL. I have a few things to say, and when I want to say them, I say them here.

I mostly talk about my teams, which would be the White Sox, Bears, and Blackhawks, but I do talk about other things as well. Thanks for dropping by. I hope you will bookmark this site and visit often!

Random Thoughts: Curt Schilling Needs a Big Glass of STFU

Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Scott Ruffcorn:

Curt Schilling is on the warpath, not only attacking not only Orioles announcer Gary Thorne, but every other journalist on the planet. It doesn't matter that Thorne has already publicly apologized for claiming he was told that Schilling's bloody sock in the 2004 playoffs was actually paint. Schilling wrote in his blog "If you haven't figured it out by now, working in the media is a pretty nice gig. "Barring outright plagiarism or committing a crime, you don't have to be accountable if you don't want to." Yeah, about that Curt. There's this fella named Imus you might want to have a conversation with. Then there is sobering reality that members of the media have to spend time with self-righteous, self-absorbed, narcissists like you.
Those wacky guys at "Kissing Suzy Kolber" are at it again. Boy, they are damned funny.
Darrin Erstad reminded the Angels why he so valuable to them over the years. Jermaine Dye's back is better. A.J. Pierzynski is en fuego. Jim Thome is still hurting. White Sox 7 Angels 3.
In the chase for Lord Stanley's cup, when the Buffalo Sabres turn it on, they turn it on. Playing dead for two periods, the Sabres came alive and dominated the third period in all phases of the game beating the New York Rangers 3-2. And then after the game, in true Ranger tradition, Jaromir Jagr popped off. The Rangers are doing way too much talking, but the guy who is talking the loudest is Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller, who stopped 31 of 33 shots Friday night. In Friday's other game, Anaheim and Vancouver just went to the first overtime tied at 1.
Peter King says that rumor that Brady Quinn is about to sign with the Raiders is a crock.
You know those scenes in the mob movies where the guy refuses to pay the protection and the goons come and beat the crap out of him and then he pays the protection? Sounds like Tony Stewart's experience with NASCAR this morning.
Estrogen is a terrible thing. PMS is worse.
If you own a rib joint in St. Louis, today is the first day of a beautiful friendship.
A hockey coach was aided by attending a Dr. Phil seminar. Not by Dr. Phil, by someone in Dr. Phil's seminar. Jerry Springer reportedly jealous.
Here are your media champions for April.
The FDA is about to allow chocolate with no coca butter to be commercially graded as chocolate. This means a crappy product like Whoppers would be classified as chocolate even though it contains none. If I ran the world, anything with the consistency of candle wax would not be considered chocolate. The only thing Whoppers are missing are wicks. This may be the biggest food flap since the Reagan administration branded ketchup a vegetable.
If your dog wags his tail to the right, he really likes you. If he wags his tail to the left, he doesn't. This must explain why when Butkus D. Dogg sees me, he craps on the carpet.
A DC lawyer is suing a local dry cleaner for $65 million dollars because they lost his pants. And lawyers wonder why everyone hates them.
If Elvis wasn't dead, this would have killed him as the King of Rock & Roll meets the Queen of Schlock. Seismic readings at Graceland reported to be in the 8.5 range due to spinning coming from inside Elvis' tomb.
