Meet the Staff

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 Shots: Root, Root, Root For The Home Team Or Incur Our Wrath

Random shots while wondering whatever happened to Ray Searage:

Can you believe the Chicago Cubs? In an effort to cut down the booing of outfielder Alfonso Soriano, members of the Cubs staff walked through the stands and told the fans to cool it. Then, the whole affair was denied by the Cubs President(who probably can't hear the booing in the first place because he is in a sky box.) For crying out loud, if I am paying $40 or $60 or whatever for the privilege of going to a game, then I ought to be able to boo my team's players. I agree throwing things and long streams of profanity or racial epithets are over the line, but to merely boo someone on the home team and be warned about it is a joke.
Maybe if Sox fans booed Orlando Cabrera, he'd simply call your cell phone to complain. Boy, is this guy some kind of bonehead or what?
As excited as White Sox fans are beginning to get, let's not look past the Twinkies. They are a pretty good team again this year.
The Doug Collins coming back to coach the Bulls rumors are so been there, done that, got the t-shirt. The fact is, Collins is the same type of coach as Scott Skyles. The only way this becomes a good move is if Phil Jackson comes back as his assistant and coach in waiting.
The Blackhawks will be taking on the Red Wings as part of the NHL outdoor series. Bet the neighbors will love that.
As well as ~~Pink~~ Gavin Floyd has pitched this year, giving up an 0-2 home run is one of the things he needs to correct. I will admit, he has been a delightful surprise along with some kid named "Q".
Cub fans may actually be rooting for the White Sox as they hook up with the team that ties the Cubs for the best record in baseball. And no, it's not the Red Sox.
Today's edition of a headline I never thought that I would see in my lifetime.
Kelvin Sampson, you have nothing to worry about. You will be back.
Some great humor from "Kissing Suzy Kolber" including some shots at Peter King and some comments from your Democratic Presidential nomination runner up.
