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!

Players who you will never see in a Sox uni again: Brian Anderson, Josh Fields and Bartolo Colon. In fact, there's talk of donating Colon's uniform to the homeless as a shelter.
This whole controversy about Brian Urlacher and Jay Cutler is no big deal, if it true or not. So what if Urlacher may think Cutler is a pussy. Urlacher is a linebacker. He thinks all quarterbacks are pussies.
I don't think Brad Childress anticipated the ending of "Vikings held hostage." HOWEVER, there is a possibility that sometime, after week four, a desperate Viking team brings Favre in and he plays. This one isn't over yet, kids.
Mark Buehrle's 45 up 45 down is impressive, but not as impressive as the previous record holder, Bobby Jenks. Jenks accomplished his record of 41 over the course of a month and a half, facing pinch hitters and others in critical, ninth inning situations. That's not meant as a slight at Buehrle, just an observation.
Congrats to Dallas radio personality Dale Hansen for having the guts for doing what many of us either can't afford to do or don't have the cahones to do: Say screw you to an employer trying to regulate content with no basis to it. Hansen walked on the Dallas ESPN station when he found out about the Big Ben ban.
Sure, Michael Vick has been cleared to play football again. But who outside of Jerry Jones has the stones to take him on and fight PETA and all the other animal rights protesters. No owner, even one who really wants to win will bring in a player whose presence on the team, even for the league minimum salary, will result in the loss of ad revenue.
I wonder how much The Chairman actually knows about hockey. I guess we'll find out soon. Maybe he'll hire John McDonough to run the Coyotes.
Okay, I lied. Here's one story with a link. The other day, the Orioles held a cooking contest that involved three players: Greg Zaun, Brian Roberts and Jeremy Guthrie competed in the contest won by Zaun. I'd love to see the White Sox try this. Given the diverse nature of the the team, the winner could prepare anything from Cuban sandwiches to Mark Buehrle's deer venison lasagna. I'm sure Brooks Boyer is on the case. . .
