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: Dancing In The Streets In Evansville, IN

I had the unique privilege of living in the lovely town of Evansville, IN for several years. Nobody is bigger there than Don Mattingly. In fact, when he played for the Yankees, there was a little box in the scores section of the paper every day called "How Don's Doing." The box would trumpet Don's heroics and always remind the reader, ad naseum that Don was a native of Evansville. It got to be a huge joke. Now, here is a bigger one . Remember, Donny Baseball, only two trips to the mound per pitcher, okay? Meanwhile, at places like Wolf's Barbecue and the Donut Bank, the celebration is on!

Having solved runaway unemployment, foreclosure, illegal immigration, crime and bad roads, politicians turn to an issue that everyone across America has been buzzing about: The NFL blackout rule . Please make sure when you go to the polls in November, you vote against these idiots. (The Big Lead)

No, you don't understand, Clinton. You WILL read this statement and you WILL like it . It doesn't matter what you think, it only matters what the league thinks. You have no right to an opinion..
Wait for it. Wait for it. Here come the lawyers . Even if Tom Brady is 100% not at fault, there will still be a law suit and there will still be a settlement. Why? Because that's the way we do things in America.
I don't know why &^%ing people get (*^&ing upset about &^$% like this. It's just words. Everyone does it . No big mother (*&^ing deal. (Radar on Line)
How exactly do you get fired from the easiest job in the world?
If you think NFL players are bad with women in the locker room, imagine the first time a woman official bends over to pick up a flag . (The Big Lead)
I know I'm way late on this one, but I had to take at least one shot at the guy, especially when he's down. When Lew Perkins canned Mark Mangino, we knew there was something not right . Now we know now what we thought then: The guy is a crook and a scumbag .
One of the sure signs of the apocalypse .
