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: Sometimes You Feel Like A Nutt, Sometimes You Don't

Random thoughts while wondering whatever happened to Antonio Osuna:

It sure didn't take Houston Nutt long to land on his feet. One day after rejecting a two-year extension at Arkansas and walking away form his "dream job", Nutt signs on to try and revive Ole Miss after Ed Orgeron drove it straight into the ground and made it third in the state behind Mississippi State and Southern Miss. Something tells me Nutt had this deal done before he told Arkansas to kiss his hog pig sooey rear end. The saddest thing about Nutt being forced out or choosing to leave is the fans bought into the hissy fit thrown by Mitch Mustain. One sorry little piss ant of a mama's boy had the power to bring down a whole program. And really, at 8-4 and a win over LSU, Nutt really didn't miss him that much. I think, as this story develops, it will make General Hospital seem tame.
This Sean Taylor story sucks and is beyond any words I can come up with.
You no longer have Cedric Benson to blame if the Bears don't make the playoffs. On the other hand, I strongly believe that the bears are better off without him.
Lots of college coaching carousel news: Two Michigan Assistants talk to the AD about succeeding Lloyd Carr. Perhaps they should have talked to Frank Solich first; Clemson really wants to keep Tommy Bowden despite the fact that several schools are big enough, powerful enough and rich enough to spirit him away. Personally, I think he'll stay; Bill Doba is done at Washington State. That's a great opportunity for a guy like Dennis Franchione who likes to rebuild programs; Joe Novack retires from Northern Illinois. Don't hurt yourself as they push you out the door, coach. What a terrible way to treat the man that saved the football program there and Sonny Lubick gets the same treatment at Colorado State.
While the White Sox have been quiet, the Cubs have been making news. Seems like they will sport Wood in 2008, but are trying to get out of their Prior commitment.
That MNF game last night was horrible. It probably should have never been played. Imagine the outrage of somebody like Ben Rothlisberger got hurt.
Senator Ted Kennedy is writing his memoirs. Working titles include "Last Man Standing" and "We'll Cross That bridge When We Come To it."
Look, I understand banning smoking in bars and restaurants and public garages and hospitals and just about everywhere else. But if you ban smoking OUTSIDE, where the heck are we going to go. Stand down, people. Even smokers have rights.
Guess he won't be feeling the noise anytime soon.
Great. Now when I go to visit my daughter in Indiana, I may have to endure the indignity of getting pulled over by Ponch.
This made me laugh until I cried. Seriously. It is so funny. And, politically incorrect. Which is why it is funny.
