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: Butkus D. Dogg's Friday Fearless Forecast (Week 16)

Butkus D. Dogg's Friday Fearless Forecast (Week 16)

Hello again. Last week, I ran the table with a perfect 5-0, raising my record to a stellar 110-35.

My bowl spectacular has been delayed a little bit because the bald guy has been fighting a stomach thing. I think the Fat Dog may have stepped on it or something, but the other night, the bald guy was moaning as he tried to fall asleep. And with Mama away, it was not the good kind of moaning. He says he's feeling a lot better today, and hopefully, a little later today, we'll have it online. I need the bald guy's help because typing without opposable thumbs is a be-och.

Here's our regular weekly package. Five pro, straight up. Let's do our business:

Seattle vs. Chicago: The Bald Guy is a bit upset that he won't be able to see this game because it's being blocked by the Green Bay game, but in all honesty, the networks are doing him a favor. The Seahawks have won four of five and the Bears have Caleb Hanie. The Bears also have players wondering if their names are going to show up on a DEA list, so they have more distractions then they know what to do with. Take Seattle.
Green Bay vs. Kansas City: The Chiefs may have fired Todd Haley, but the they still have Tyler Palko. If Kyle Orton (named the Chiefs starter at quarterback this week) can pull this one off, they should immediately erect a statue of him outside Arrowhead Stadium. Take Green Bay, BIG.
New Orleans vs. Minnesota: The Saints are trying to hold off Atlanta in the NFC South while the Vikings are finalizing their January tee times. Enough said. Take New Orleans.
Detroit vs. Oakland: It's too bad Al Davis isn't around to see what could be the dirtiest game in NFL history. In fact, this one probably qualifies for UFL status. At the end of the day, I think the dirtiest, er, better team will win. Take Detroit.
New England vs, Denver: New England's strategy should be score early, score often and keep scoring. Denver, even with Tim Tebow can't score quickly, although the Bears would probably disagree. Still,. get Denver down by more than 17 and I think God changes the channel. Take New England.
