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!

Quickshots: Strong First Half Finish Could Put White Sox in First

Tonight the Chicago White Sox start a three game series with the always dangerous Cleveland Indians. It doesn't matter how lousy the Tribe has played this year, they have a formidable lineup capable of putting crooked numbers on the board at any time. Winning two out of three against both Cleveland and Minnesota should be the Sox goal going into play tonight. With Detroit sputtering, the Sox have the possibility of being in first place by the all-star break. Wouldn't that confuse the post game show callers.
Q continues to rehab. If he's healthy, it could be the difference between playing baseball or golf in early October.
Another in our series of former White Sox done good.
Boston Red Sox fans prove they are a classy bunch. Far more classy than the way Cleveland has treated Jim Thome.
For Sale: Right handed pitcher. Performs well in non-pressure situations only. Will buckle and crack by late September. Inquire to F. Wren, Atlanta Professional Baseball Club. (Bernie's Crew)
In Milwaukee, lad back GM Doug Melvin thinks his star outfielder should shut his cake hole. It's clearly a case of too much Braun and not enough brains.
Y'all got any vacancies? Yeah, I'm taking a new job up thar and I need a place to stay.
ESPN's evil plan to shove soccer down our throats Because if it's on ESPN, it must be more exciting than watching paint dry or spending an evening with your cousin Frank. (TV Squad)
The Blackhawks sign six free agents despite the fact that GM Dale Tallon may have screwed up the paperwork. Maybe Scotty told Stan Bowman not to go to the post office.
For a guy who worked hard to get his suspension lifted, Jeremy Mayfield is not doing a whole lot of driving.
SI Writer Stewart Mandel thinks the upcoming congressional hearings into the BCS will be a waste of time. But that won't deter congress from wasting our tax dollars on them. Even with unemployment near 10% and North Korea pointing missiles at us. In other words, congress has once again lost site of its' priorities.
Heard in Kansas City: Freel at last, Freel at last, thank God almighty it's Freel at last.
