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!

Butkus D. Dogg's Friday Fearless Forecast (Week 21)

Hello again. For those of you that live in the upper Midwest, you know how cold it is outside. Even the Fat Dog slept under the covers last night. You would think any entity with that much body fat wouldn't get cold, but apparently he was. Even the Bald Guy wore an extra layer to work this morning and he certainly has adipose to stay plenty warm. Why do you think I sleep next to him? Sorry, Bald Guy. Love you.

Last week, I was 2-2. My bowl record was a mediocre 21-13, so overall I am 144-58 on the year. It's been a good year, but lately I've been in a slump. Let's hope I can run the table on my last three picks.

As always, we're going straight up. Here's how championship weekend breaks down:

Baltimore at New England: It's a battle of defense vs. offense and as the saying goes "defense wins championships." True, but so do quarterbacks. And I'll take Tom Brady over Joe Flacco any day. Take New England.
New York Giants at San Francisco: According to the experts, including this one, neither one of these teams should be here. The Niners were very impressive against the Saints while the Giants went to Green Bay and knocked off the almighty Packers. This could be a low scoring game, but I think in the end, Eli Manning is on a roll and the Giants have a slight edge. Take New York.
