Born and raised in Chicago, as a child of the 80's I had the great fortune of growing up when nearly all of our franchises were at their peak. While unfortunately much of that luster is gone now, my devotion to all things sports never faded. My first love has always been and will always be baseball, and even though I'm a die-hard White Sox fan, I do care enough about the game that I enjoy following the progress of other teams (even those not-so-cuddly losers on the North Side). I also have a great interest in basketball, football and hockey, and as a University of Illinois grad-- I love following my Fighting Illini.

After torturing my friends, ex-girlfriends, and roommates with my incessant rants about sports, it's time that I turned it into something constructive. Enjoy my occasionally ridiculous musings.
