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!

Chip Shots: Richard Dent Should Demand A Recount

Richard Dent Should Demand A Recount

Richard Dent is quickly becoming the NFL's version of Ron Santo.

For the seventh time, Richard Dent has been denied entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This year, he lost out to a class that rightfully includes Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith, Redskins offensive lineman Russ Grimm but questionably Vikings defensive tackle John Randle and Saints outside linebacker Rickey Jackson

Randle had as many career sacks as Dent but most likely got in because he was immortalized by NFL Films for his barking like a dog. Dent was as dominant during his career. Jackson isn't in Dent's class and has no business beating Dent into the hall. Probably the Saints love that has wrapped itself around the Super Bowl bought Jackson some votes.

If Dent is angry this evening, no one can blame him. He deserves to be in the HOF, He's waited longer than Jackson and Randle and unlike some of the other Bears on the 1985 team, he was quiet and not self absorbed. Maybe that's why he isn't in yet.
